The fiist four factois are all related to the management abil ity'-of the aanyman and are di rectly under control of the dairy man. Let’s not blame the price received for milk for all of the low dollar ictuins to manage ment. Best Foot Forward What is your image as a dairy man in the eyes of the consuming public 7 Theie was a time when the ap pearance of your faim was not too important You weie isolated fiom the consumei This is not so today Consumei s by the thou sands drive through the farming areas of Pennsylvania and what they see and smell formulates their opinion to buy or not to buy milk The appeal ance and odoi of dairy farm waste (manuie) is accepted by you and your neigh bors as part of the faim, so you have learned to live with it. The city consumer who enjoys a drive thiough the countryside is upset by the appearance and aroma that you accept as normal. Good dauymen are learning the value of handling farm waste properly so that it will not be objectionable to those who dnve by the farm Those drivers are your consumers Attention Dairy Farmers All danymen should be en couraged to pay paiticular atten tion to any farm diainage from the imlkhouse, barnyaid or silos that could be taken by the public as a source of stream pollution President Nixon’s speech on pollution has turned many Americans into “eagei beaveis” looking for every possible source of pollution.

You don't see it or hear it . . . only gentle warmth tells you it’s there. Basically it’s wire . . . usually hidden in the ceilings of your home. The wire’s connected to thermostats that let you "dial” the comfort level you prefer in every room. Incidentally, ceiling cable rarely requires maintenance because the thermostat is the only thing in the whole system that has a moving part. There’s no furnace ... no flame ... no dirt 1 ./ y What electric healing cable - and what can do lor it Poorbough to Resign As Extension Official Harry J.
