for sinful dumping of food, tax
evasion, poisoning water and
wildlife while accepting free re
search and running coopera
tives that don’t pay taxes.
These things MeJunkin label
ed as not representative of
farmers but neverlcss in the
public mind, while the true
facts of an abundant food sup
ply at the lowest percentage of
consumer income in the world
is mostly overlooked “And
farmers are huge tax payers
with taxes based on land,” he
said “This in spite of rising
costs ”
McJunkin listed lower faim
political punch, young people
being another generation ic
moved fiom the farm and the
farm press speaking mostly in
trade magazines wheie the gen
eral public does not hear as
reasons for this public image.
“Faimers should not try to
do things that irritate the pub
lic,” he said. ‘‘Be active in com
munity affaus and don’t spread
manure at a bad time for your
neighbois Public iclations is a
lot of little things ”
H N Hunsicker, United
States Office of Education,
opened the discussion by tell
ing of pioblems young farmer

in his department and suggest
ed farmers know what they
want and need and then make
personal contacts in small
groups of two or three persons
to tell their story.
It may take years of effort to

If ,\oui s is one of the many
families to whom this holiday
would not be complete without
a tree, make a real effort to sec
that the biighlncss comes only
fiom the lights, eyes and hearts,
not from accidental fires, she
continues
Mis. Nantz says observing the
following will help insure both
a safe Christmas and Christmas
tree for you and your family:
(1) Be suie to get a fresh tree
a few days before Christmas.
Test it to see if the needles are
dried out and already falling
if so, take a different tree. A dry
tiee can burn away in less than
27 seconds
(2) Never block any exits by
placing a tree in the line of traf
fic
(3) Use only lights and wir
ing with the Underwriters’ Lab
oratoues label. Make sure that
extension cords, if used, do not
present a tripping hazard and
never overload circuits by hav
ing too many plugs in one outlet.

early for early harvest because
of its fast dry down. It’s harvest
moisture on October 17 was 21%
from a May 22 planting. 4 weeks
earlier they were harvesting
ASX 58 at 27% moisture from
