Ida's Column
’’lda’s Notebook ”
That’s the title of the new
feature beginning in Lancas
ter Farming this week (see
page 23).
We think the title is appro
priate
It’s big enough to include
anything and everything
which might be of interest
to the particular farm wife
who writes the column and
to readers from the entire
farm family
It’s informal enough to
make room for both the big
events and the little details
of farm life which together
make farming what it is
It’s also real. The Note
book is written by a farm
wife who has been faithfully
keeping a diary since che
was 16 years old, she in
formed us.
She is Mrs Allen (Ida)
Risser of Leola RDI who
lives on a 75-acre dairy farm
In her column, this bona
fide farm wife will tell about
the things which interest her
and, therefore, we think,
other farm wives and hus
bands and sons and daugh
ters who read Lancaster

zabethtown College
Explaining the purposes of
the PFA was Mr Roy Battles,
assistant public iclations rep
resentative of the American
Farm Bureau, Washington, D.C
Battles said the Supreme
Court decision of one man, one
vote coupled with the popula
tion explosion and investments,
is resulting in the invasion of
all farm organizations by non
farm groups. Farmers do not
control the Pennsylvania legis
lature anymore, or county or
local governments.
The farmer’s business and
farm are controlled by some
one else. Others must know the
facts. It’s up to the farm com
munity to plead its own caset
Battles said
Eugene McDowell, Lincoln
University, Chester County,
PFA assistant organization Dir
ector, remarked that the PFA
is the largest trade organization
and represents a lot of activity
through legislation, services, in
surance, farm bookkeeping
records and marketing. The wo
men’s program helps to tie
things together and makes the
program and organization com
plete.
Guests were present from
the following news media: Mrs.
Pat Erway, Lancaster Farming;
Harold Eager, Sunday News;
Harry S. Stacks, Intelligencer
Journal; Ed Wickenheiser,
