4—Lancaster Farming. Saturday. June 7.1969 From Where We Stand... Dairy Month Besides boasting 30 days that "what is so rare as." June contains National Little league Baseball Week (8-14). Jefferson Da\is' Birthday (3). Let's Play Golf Week (7-14). Flag Day (14). and Father’s Day da). It's a very big season for the cap and gown business, and a busy time at the wed ding license bureau, too, though, alas for tradition no longer the month with the most brides. But. prepare to pour a toast all ’round anyhow in milk. One tradition that re mains. after 33 years, is that "June is Dairy Month." In the beginning, the month was select ed because, with its clement weather and erdam pastures, it was a peak production month for milk, a season when dairy foods leie plentiful, and an ideal time to call at "ention to their nutntne \alue. In addition, the celebration of June as Dairy Month reminded the nation of the u<airy industry's role in the country's econo my Because of this \aluable contribution, headers in agriculture. go\ ernment and ousinesses allied with the dairy industry oecame actue participants in the month .ong actiuties honoring dairymen. To a great extent, seasons have given aay to science in the dairy industry. While May and June remain at the top of the milk production ranks, the other months, too, are productive. Why is June still Dairy Month, then? Because people still need to be remind ed of the industry's contribution to their ramily diets, their enjoyment and the econo my. During the annual "reminder cam paign," food stores help celebrate June Dairy Month with dairy food specials, news papers and magazines feature dairy reci pes, restaurant menus spotlight dairy items. Imaginative special celebrations abound, sponsored by local dairy groups. The timing remains apt because June marks the start of a new season when to day’s energetic consumers embark on a summer way of life, both active and casual. Dairy foods—fresh, refreshing, and so easy to serve they've been called “nature’s own convenience foods’' fit right into ibis warm-weather living scheme Besides which, they serve nutritional interests and eating preferences in all age groups so well that it looks as though June will be Dairy Month for at least an other 33 years! At least that’s the way it looks from where we stand. PEACEFUL PASTURE! The cows in a set ting of a meadow, a stream, trees and farm buildings, provide a fitting lead photograph for our annual Dairy Issue, dedicated to local dairy men and their products. The farm home pic tured is that of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin W, Nolt, Ephrata R 2 and their 8-month-old son, James and Edwin’s brother, Titus. The Nolts farm 90 acres and have a herd of Holstein dairy cows. Fish could be seen darting up_ and down the creek in the peaceful pasture when the Lan caster Farming Photograph was taken May 5.

Dr. Jerome Fisher, a dermatologist (one who treats skin diseases) from Pasa dena, California says so. Writing in Current Science magazine, an American Education Publication distri buted to many schools. Dr. Fisher reported findings in an experiment with 1.000 teen age patients. These young people who were suffering from skin disease were fed four quarts of milk a day and then gradually the amount they drank was decreased. The dermatologist wrote, "as the teenagers drank less milk their acne impro\ed". The report didn’t say. but we wonder if it wasn’t the milk that cleared up the skin diseases If a patient had an acne problem, started drinking four quaits of milk a day. and shoitlj thereafter the acne started to clear up, maybe it was the milk that did it You might be inclined to credit the milk with the cure e\en if the intake had dimi nished. This is beside the point, of course The real tragedy is that a respected doctor writ ing to a school-age audience has attributed a multi-faceted medical problem to only one segment of the diet —milk. First of all, very few children consume four quarts of milk a day. That would take a quart each meal and one for between meals and at bedtime. More likely, the properly fed child would drink between sne and two quarts a day. And when you say you should eliminate milk from young people's diets, where do you go to replace the nutrients furnished by milk. If there are certain medical cases where a recommendation to avoid trouble some foods is needed, it should be done on the basis of individual diagnosis rather than on a mass suggestion. Which all comes back to the point that has been made many times Good health requires a good, well balanced diet. And that diet should contain plenty of cool, refreshing MILK. At least that’s the way it looks from where we stand. Across The Fence Row If you started out with 200 umbrellas, loaned them to anybody who needed one, how many would you have at the end of the year? A store in Cincinnati tried it, and found they had 198 left, plus lots of new customers. The poor are still with us, despite the government proverty programs. The other day I heard about a family so poor they couldn’t even afford a crib. The baby had to sleep m the box the eolor-TV came in. Del Grove= Nobody is so narrow minded as people who disagree with you. Some people are like blotters they soak up most everything but always get it backwards. When an automobile tire goes bad after a few weeks of wear it may be difficult to determine whether the cause has defective workmanship, or some road hazard. When human beings cause trouble, we are often stumped as to the cause whether inborn, or caused by bumps and bruises along the way. We call it heredity and environment.

Weather Bureau at the Harrisburg State Airport) The five-day forecast for the period Saturday through next Wednesday calls for temperatures to average below normal with daytime highs in the low to mid 70’s and over-night lows in the upper 40’s to mid 50’s.

The Semites, of course, are one of the great divisions of races and languages to which Hebrew, Phoenician, and Arabic belf'” The Pope was thus m ■ dicating that Christians are spiritually akin to the Jews. There is a family relation ship between us. Yet, it is a re lationship that is not often recog _ nized by Chns- Rev. Althouse UanS- We tend lo forget that Christ himself was a Jew, that the Church began among the Jews, and that the early Christians, even those who were Gentiles, regarded Christi anity as the true successor to the Hebrew faith. They believed that the promise made to the Israelites was theirs by inheritance. They regarded themselves as the New Israel. The New Covenant of Jesus Christ was the natural de velopment of the Old Covenant which had been made with the patriarchs and passed on to each succeeding generation. One central theme The early Church thus saw no break between the Hebrew faith and the gospel of Jesus Christ. There was a continuity between the old Israel and the new. The scriptures were seen as a unified testimony to the creative and re demptive purpose of God. Though the Bible consisted of many divergent bits and pieces, they saw the message as a single story, one central theme. That does not mean that the early Church thought that there were no changes between the faith of the early Israelites and their own gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus himself had said: "You have heard that it was said to the men of 01d,... But I say to you . .

Old grain should be re moved from the bin and used first. The bin should be given a thorough cleaning and the walls, ceiling, and floor spray ed with an insecticide such as methoxychlor or malathion. This practice will prevent grain insects from contaminating the new grain the first few months in storage.

"’think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them'’(Matthews:l7). Wc mav have difficulty in seeing anv sense of unity in the Bible. Wc may be confused bv :he great variety of tj pcs of literature, bv the changing political, social, and religious scenes in its pages, in the tlhersc concepts of the nature and activity of God, in *he ob\ iously different points ofview, and the almost innumerable par adoxes and ironies. We may won der how anyone can ever put all that together with anv sense of unity or continuity. Creation and redemption Yet, through all this diversity we find certain ideas or the .ics that hold together all the many parts and pieces. Over and over again thioughout the Bible’s pages we find the concepts of creation and redemption. It is a stoic* that finds its begmmrgs, as Deuteronomy 26 puts it, rn Abraham, 'a wandering Ax ame an. ’ to whom the prom se and cocenant were given It is a store* closely tied to the history ot the people whom God freed from capticitv m Egypt so mat his redemptice and creative pur poses might be furthered. lesus looked back to ibis ancient event and saw* in A the roots of his own mission* beginning w ith Moses and all ihe prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself’ (Luke 24:27). Though the new wine of his gospel often threatened to burst the old wineskins of Judaism, still Jesus set forth his way, not as an alternative to Judaism, but as the highesi de velopment of the Hebrew faith. As He promised No less did the early Church acknowledge this continuity. In his sermon at Antioch of Pisidia, Paul linked the Gospel to the covenantal story, concluding; "’Of this man’s (David’s) posterity God has brought to Israel a Saviour, Jesus, as he promised” (Acts 13:23). Creation and redemption; These are the unifying themes we en counter in the beginning of the Bible, the threads thf#-.run through it, the divine purposes that find their fulfillment in Christ. For it is "in him” as Paul puts it, that "all things hold together” (Colossians 1:17).

To Change Rations Gradually During the harvest season many new grains and forage' crops are introduced to UVeP stock. I refer to new hay, grass silage, and to winter barley and wheat about to be combined. All of these items are good feed if given to the animals gradually. When mixed into the ration or daily feed schedule in small amounts at first and gradually increased, there will be less danger of scouring or bloating. New giains should be permitted to go through a one month cur ing pencil before being fed to livestock.
