A potpourri of opinions
Dear Editor:
Since wfe are still in the
midst of the weather
prophesized by the groun
dhog on Feb. 2, I thought I
would write a line. I like
reading Lancaster Fanning.
It gives a lot of current news
and prices of commodities.
And the news items such as
the one in the last issue (Feb.
26) telling of the land grab
that is on foot in our nation.
To begin with, we should all
realize that Russia is in back
of many of these moves. The
communist touch is all
around us. I hope President
Carter has gumption enough
to realize this. Now is the
time to stand up to them and
let them know we are fed up
with their doctrine and want
none of it. He has no business
telling them how to handle
the people over there. A lot of
people are fools to visit these
areas, in my opinion. As to
this land grab, the Grange
has spoken out as it has for
over 100 years on matters
that ruin the family farm.
We need more dedicated
men in the USA like John
Scott. I have been a Granger
for 55 years and have seen
many beneficial things that
the Grdnge has stood for and
accomplished.
THe NFO (National
Fanners Organization) is
very smart to themselves

and works for prices that will
not stand up in most cases
and then dumps their milk or
kills calves to gain their end.
These demonstrative antics
do not pay off in most cases.
The Farmers Association
runs around trying to get
members for a high rate of
dues. All I have seen them do
is have a good meal a couple
of times a year for a select
few.
I realize we will all have to
fight for our cause and stand
up for what we know is right.
Many of these meetings do
not get a lot done because the
average guy will not write
and express himself after he
comes from the meeting or
will not speak out when he
has the chance. I have noted
that Lancaster Countians
are especially noted for that
attitude. Many are in
dutrious and feel they have
made theirs so let the other
fellow do likewise.
THe 4-H is doing things
and going places. Our
youngsters were all in 4-H.

on for several years through
four children.
We are having our far
mland taken from us and
have been for several years.
The planning groups are
working as individuals and
of course have determined
and unqualified people on
some. The realtors are still
in the saddle. It is very
evident in most areas of the
county. The good far
mground is gobbled up for
some other use. We seem to
sit back and let it happen and
cannot stop the trend. Who is
going to slow this down,
except the Amish?
The IRS has entirely too
much say about many
things, I have found out to
my sorrow the past couple of
years. They are just crooked
human beings like many
other groups turn out to be
and it costs money to hire a
good lawyer to convince
them their tactics are wrong.
Thanking you for your ef
forts, I am, yours truly,
