You must pardon my philosophizing for a moment, but haven’t we all expected and planned for this summer as always? When spring came,' we prepared the soil and planted counting on the sun and the rain to nourish the crops. We knew that the Hogmen SHERWOOD A. WITHER Box 138 Berrysburg, PA 717-362-8823 PAUL L.

Hartly, Del 302-492-3819 Thoughts in rassmg„ Sis? m possibility of crop failure was there and this possibility was realized for some when the sudden summer storms and hail struck. But for most it was a much needed rain, and now we look on fields of green, stretching corn, wheat ripening to harvest, and alfalfa soon needing to be cut again. Yes, we can see the results of the hours of preparation and thousands of dollars spent this spring as we drive by the fields of com, and wheat, and hay. But we can’t see the desire of the heart that makes a man want to produce a better crop. Many are the decisions that must be made. Sometimes they are right, sometimes they are wrong. Risks are taken because it is impossible to account for all the possibilities of failure. Good management depends on understanding the best methods, products, and services available, and using them wisely. I believe practicing good farming leads a person to the realization that to keep up you have to try new things and evaluate them on your farm. Now is the time to look at what the results of this year’s methods have done ENGINEERED FCR/EKKIMUM STRENGTH & RIGIDITY LOW WEIGHT HIGH STRENGTH Reduces SIMPLE "LOW COST”INSTALLATION The cost of material required for manufacturing, and Mam Frame Assembly simply straddles the lower freight costs, factory to consumer truck frame and can be bolted or welded in place DOUBLE ACTING CYLINDER Power up or PRE-ASSEMBLED TAIL HINGE Just notch down for simple positive hoist operation out the frame and weld in place COMPLETE LINE OF TRUCK PTO's IN STOCK Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 3,1976—77 for you. Are there still too many weeds in your fields? Have insects and diseases stunted your crops? Do plants show signs of a need for more fertilizer? Or should you have planted earlier? Did you lose too much soil in those spring rains? Remember there are alternatives that you may need to try, that have already been tested by researchers and are being used by other farmers. Yes, summer is haying and combining time, but it is also a time to look at your corn and alfalfa crops for possible problems. Call the local agriculture teacher, county agent, seed salesman, or a neighbor and walk through your fields with them. Maybe you will learn something new that will help you have a better crop next summer. Check Ladders Before Each Use Inspect ladders before each use.
