The functioning of such a large organi

heir futures
Congratulations, Queen
Congratulations. Marilyn!
We join hundreds of Lancaster Coun
+:ans. and many beyond the county who
know you. in saying: You earned it.
We know many of your friends and
admirers who were as proud and happy
when you won the state crown in Harns
buig as if they'd done it themselves. Their
pride and joy is a special compliment to
you.
Their special interest, and the title
itself, is their way of recognizing not only
your beauty and charm, but the character
and personality that goes with it They
know you ha\e the courage to use s’et-backs
as challenges and the humility to keep on
Harvest and
For tarmeis, harvest time is a good
and positive time It lepresents the
for a vear of planning and work
But the: os one paiticular
oau about harvest time that
-■'ould keep in mind
Hanest time is rat time Farmeis who
are careless at hanest time proude feed
and shelter to winter o\er anothei ciop of
rats
Hats cause consideiable ciop ioss
mrough the lood they consume
But the damage rats cause to buildings
and feed is piobably a moie impoitant
reason for eliminating them
Besides the feed loss and pionerty
damage is the fact that rats are duty,
smelly, obnoxious creatures
The farmer who takes pride m his
work, who likes a clean and comfortable
environment, who strives to cut off all
unnecessary losses will take the small
amount of time necessary to make sure
that harvest time is not a positive time
for rats.

A Time To Reflect
•1 H Week is a time to reflect on these
things, to recogni/e vvhnl 4 H is. what it
does for our community and our way of
life. It is a time to rededicale ourselves to
the success of the 4-H concept and program
for the coming year.
It is a time for present 4 H members
to determine if they are contributing
enough to the 4-H program or getting
enough out of it, and to ask how the m
dividaul's participation can be improved.
It is a time for young persons not in 4-H
to ask: Why not? A program as broad as
that of 4-H certainly offers something of
benefit and interest to everyone with a con
structive attitude and a desire to grow.
A Time To Do
It is a time for members of the older
generation to ask what they can do to as
sure the continued success of 4-H.
A helping hand to 4-H is a very sound
im estment in the fpture. It is a direct in
vestment in the success and happiness of
the persons who will determine the future.
In summary. 4-H is a positu e. construc
tne organization. During 4-H Week, we
need to recognize this and dedicate our
sehes to continuing the good work.

reign for the next year as Pennsyhama

We join the legions who salute you and

Rat Control
Earnest time should be the time when
taimers take extra care to eliminate all
rats and. if that isn't feasible, to eliminate
most of them so thej're not a major
problem through the winter
Survival of the rats requires two essen
tials. food and shelter, according to the
Penn State Extension Sen ice Since man
provides both of these, he also can remove
them Rats like hiding places close to a
supplv of food Large numbers often are
found in poultry houses, com cribs and
barns They hide in rock walls, piles of dis
carded 'umber, boxes and similar waste
material Thev particulaily like protection
of buildings in winter
Penn State recommends tive major
steps to pre\ ent a rat infestation They are.
Remo\e hiding places by cleaning up
piles of trash Dispose of all garbage quick
ly and other materials upon which rats may
feed.
Pre\ ent enti'ance of rats into buildings
and ctore all teed in rat-proof bins
Destrov rats with poisoned bait
throughout the \ear
Make use of traps whereier possible
Enlist community cooperation in rat
control
Since rate are continually on the move
in search of food and shelter, most proper
ties will have some rats the entire year
All farms should operate a control program
on a vear-around basis Under such a
program, rats never hav e a chance to
build large populations which can cause
serious damage
As farmers finish their haivest in the
weeks ahead, as rats scurrv lor shelter to
escape the oncoming winter is the best time
of all to crack down on rate, we think.
Don't let the rats share in the blessings
of the harvest
