Farm and Home Foundation (Continued from Page 15) reassess their long-held support for higher education “as a matter of faith.” He said Americans are now much more critical, but said there is still “a deep rooted respect for higher education.” He gave numerous examples to illustrate students on campus are doing many things which would be objected to by most people, but they are also doing many things which are admirable. He con tended that they do, in the main, represent the homes from which they come. He said the turmoil stemmed from a combination of revolutionists dedicated to overthrowing our free society, idealists sincerely working for change but impatient and unaware that we don’t build by destroying, and “those caught up in the excitment.” He said students have gained additional freedoms during the period of turmoil and won greater rights of freedom of inquiry and debate. He said he sees trends now toward more reasonable efforts to participate in the society. He said the new at mosphere will result in a return of the “long-standing and deep rooted respect for higher education.” Although there are several colleges in the local area, Dr. Duncan said he sees a need for a community college which would supply a “host” of technical two year programs. Such a school has been authorized by the state legislature for the Lancaster- Lebanon County area, he noted.

Jesse Smith, left, Agway Southern Division dairy and livestock specialist, discusses a point with John Kurtz, Agway’s Elizabethtown area sales representative, at the Agway Dairy Day meeting at the Holiday Inn, Lancaster, Thursday. They were among four speakers. Kurtz discussed total diary ration programs, including how a good balance of protein, energy and other nutrients result in top animal health and performance. Smith discussed the application of crops to feeding diary herds for the most profitable production. Also speaking were: Nick Ferrant, Southern division crop specialist, on week control programs on corn and soybeans, and Bob Cooper, milking systems specialist, on feeding and milking systems. Jack Reed, Agway area farm sales manager, was program chairman. He noted that a similar meeting will be held February 14 at Bird-in-Hand. He said the meetings place emphasis on farmers growing as many crops as they can on their own farms and showing how to adapt Agway program towhat the farmer has. He explained that farmers must produce more dollars of income per acre in order to keep more people on the farm without buying more acreage.
