It’s a great feeling to know that you are the
master of your farmlands . . . that when you
treat your soil right, it will treat you right.
Liming is one of the most important factors in
keeping your soil in the highest productive
range. By raising the pH from a level below
6.0 to 6.5 or higher, you can expect to harvest
.8 more tons of alfalfa per acre, with similar
increases for all other forage and cash crops.

Green Thumb has bi ought
much praise from Congress,
which continues to consider job
progiams in the War on Poverty.
Several bills are cuirently being
considered by the Senate Labor
and Public Welfare Committee
and the House Labor and Educa
tion Committee
Senator Gaylord Nelson (D-
Wis) commented at a Green
Thumb workers’ training session
at Marshfield, Wis last week that
it was the most successful ant.-
poverty progiam Congressman
Melvin Laird (R-Wis ) told the
same group “I assure you that
this is one of the most important
piograms in the whole poverty
program and I will work to see
that it gets the highest priority.”
Similar praise has also come
from Senators Harrison Williams
(D-N J) and Jacob Javits (R
NY), Congressmen William D.
Hathaway (D-Me.) and Albert H.
Quie (R-Mmn ), as well as Jack
Howard, Executive Assistant to
the Secretary of Labor
Other projects sponsored by
Farmers Union include Neigh
borhood Youth Corps, a displac
ed farm workers’ training proj
ect, and other senior citizens’
projects All are simply part of
the organization’s willingness to
experiment in the quest for an
swers to the problems of poverty
among the rural families of the
Nation And one thing is clear
now The most direct route out
of poverty is a job of useful
work.
