As a con sequence, according to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, we find a variety of forms. The first flag, popularly known as the Betsy Ross flag, had them arranged in a circle, based on the idea that no col ony should take precedence Financial advice especially for farmers!

Here are some of the ways in whic Agway can assist you: * " y Farm Commentary Cultivating improvement After 19 months of involvement with newspapers, I still have a fierce pride for my farming background. At the same time, I have developed considerable loyalty and respect for journalists and journalism. I have crossed the fence, as they say to find out if the grass is greener on the other side. What I’ve found is not greener or better grass just a different field of grass. And there’s some weeds on this side too, by the way. It ain’t all clover by any means. One of my pet peeves has been the attitudes some farmers have towards others who may not be directly in volved in agriculture. The problem first surfaced while I was working as farm editor for a daily paper which presented agricultural news and features regularly. The man who showed his ignorance by saying “there’s nothing worth reading in the paper” may have been only one in a thousand, but the remark sticks anyway. Criticism, whether deserved or The drain mechanism in your tub won’t stick if you coat the L-joint with petroleum jelly. It eases stiff shower heads, too.

What some of us fail to realize, however, is that there could be another approach to making something more worthwhile for ourselves. A writer and-or editor of farm news and features has, whether the farmer knows it or not, the potential to be a public-relations man or ambassador for the farmer. Mr. Farmer can write to Lancaster Farming and Hoard's Dairyman all he wants, to complain about his problems and what the consumer doesn’t know but it won’t help a bit, because consumers don’t read these publications. Farmers who want to present their messages in town would do well by cultivating honest and respectful relations with reporters and editors of urban-oriented publications. No one else can do it for them. One definite no-no for this sort of thing is telling the reporter; “I never look at your paper," while he’s typing up the results of your community fair. I overheard those words one day which is why this commentary was written. • business analysis • estate planning • business arrangements, partnerships, corporations Ronald E.
