20—Lancaster Farming, Saturday. July 5.1969
Eshleman
Congressman Edwin D. Eshle
man today announced the results
of his most icccnl questionnaire.
The results are based on a
total of approximately 1.650 re
ceived by the 16th District legis
lator. This fiigure represents ap
proximately a 20% return. Esh
leman said that the return on
this questionnaire was somewhat
lower than previous polls he has
distributed, but he feels that
the results arc still a significant
campling of opinion within Lan
caster, Lebanon, and Lower Dau
.phin counties
The question which showed
the highest maigin of approval
was m lesponse to the problem
of oiganized crime. Eshleman
said that he believes the 93%
respondent approval of Justice
Department attention to oiganiz
ed dime shows the public’s con
cern with the overall pioblem of
crime.
The question receiving the
closest margin was that asked
about President Nixon’s proposal
to change the militaiy draft sys
tem. On this question 48 % of
the people favored a draft lot
teiy with 45% saying they did
pot favor a change to such a sys
tem. Eshleman said that he be
liefs the close margin on this
question icsulted fiom the gen
eral dissatisfaction with the
diaft He feels that those say
ing “No” to this eliminated com
pletely with an immediate shift
to a volunteer military, and the
other which wishes to see the
draft remain as it is constituted
presently.

Mowing Lawn
Mowing of a lawn too shoit
can .ead to ti ouble and we notice
that many folks seem to continue
the piactice of close mowing
Grass can be severely weakened
toy shoit mowing to the point
wheie it becomes susceptible to
disease, insects, and weed in
festation The ability of glass to
suivive is dependent up on its
ability to produce enough leaf
surface to keep up the photosyn
thetic production of foods Most
peienmal glasses such as blue
grass and fescues should be cut
from IVz to 2 inches high; the
creeping type of grasses such as
toentgrass will survive at shorter
cuttings. Lawn owners are urged
to check the height of cut, espe
cially over the hot summer
months, and be sure the grass
plants have enough leaf surface
to continue noimal growth.
