Machinery boycott (Continued from Page-18) - today is almost double and the supply is-plentiful It has also reached the’ point where replacement parts cost as much as it did to buy and have them installed then. I don’t know about you other farmers, but I find my production costs are up since 1974, and yet I am not getting $lB.OO cwt for my milk. Did you know that you encourage machinery companies to hold their prices up when you continue to pay this outrageous piracy? -They know this and that is why when sales drop a little they offer rebates and delayed interest charges which all amounts to a few hundred dollars while the “sucker” farmers are still getting ripped off by the thousands of dollars. It doesn’t help just to complain. If you want results you must take action.

As far as the Teamsters backing 'the farmers, there are enough “bipod-sucking, out to help the farmer organizations” already. That’s why I say to have a moritorium on any kind of newfarm equipment. That is don’t purchase one piece of new equipment for as many years as it takes to get the price of equipment back into your league. If. the machinery companies are stubborn and want to keep prices up, then they should fight to see that the fanners get the price for their product to pay these high prices. If not,T say let them eat all their inflated priced equipment. I am not saying that machinery is un necessary, but why let the machinery companies take advantage of you and price you right out of your own business. feeding value have your soybeans roasted, dr Sale in small lots or trailer loads.

You big spenders will have to reform and refrain and those of you who have run deep in debt at this time will probably have to pull the chain! Furthermore, this current farm strike is just a big joke! It all boils down to a bunch of whimpering farmers who want to solve everything with an overnight, solution which in reality is a long termed problem that they created for themselves. The old saying “United we stand, Divided we fall” will never apply to the farmers of America, because no two farmers will ever go in the same direction. They say, “No one is goin to tell me what to do!” That is why a strike of this type will never work. If any ac complishment is to be at tained it has to be done in dividually at the farm level before it escalates into a national crises. That is.

By doing this there will be no surplus products, low prices, high interest charges and big bills for new equipment. Of course, this system works very well until you get a few greedy farmers who want to make a killing and when their neighbors see this they get jealous and do the same, until they are all right back where it started - BIG sur plus, small price. So instead of trying to figure out what to do with the surplus, figure out a way to avoid making a surplus. A few measures to be taken would be as follows: 1 Discourage and prevent fly-by-night opportunists who start fanning when prices are high for farm products. This would insure stable prices and stable production for full time farmers. 2. Establish a real production ceiling for'all types of farm products. 3. Shut off all farm products that are coming into the U.s. 4. Encourage exports of all our products.

MEDIA - Christinas is an excellent time to teach children some of the basic lessons of safety, science, and human relations. Most families will have_ a Christmas tree with decorations and some lights. This can be an opportunity to explain how the lights work - how wonderful electricity is - and why and how each person should learn to use any electrical device.

Following the business meeting, many of the con ference participants visited the Agway farm research center in Tully, New York where several poultry and dairy reserach projects are in progress. If a short circuit develops or a light bums out, a word of explanation can teach a child the “why” and “how” of replacing worn wires. Tree lights should always be turned off when no one is in the room, is another basic lesson in safety that can be taught to children. One can also arouse the curiosity of children about where the trees grow and what kinds are grown. Older children can go to the library to learn some of the interesting facts and stories about Christinas They can teach younger brothers and sisters, and sometimes, adults. When children receive presents, they can learn at basic lesson in human relations. Many children tend to be very possessive with their gifts. Maybe a few words from a parent about sharing with their brothers and sisters would help them to understand that sharing is something desirable. They can learn how to enjoy their toys and still be kind and considerate to others in the family. Children can leant at Christmas time - but • it means that parents need to take the time to teach them. FISHER NmniimmsnnES BOWMAN'S STOVE SHOP EDS, Napierville Rd. Ephrata, Pa.
