In nature, there are certain undeniable laws
which are never broken. You can count on them as
fact wherever you go, whatever you do
On the farm, this is true also. While not always
pleasant, I have learned that Mother Nature never
relaxes her rules, and whenever I tangle with her,
the outcome will be the same. Unfortunately for
me, she wins, and I lose.
Here are some of the rules I’ve learned over the
Plant Lovers Corner
UNIVERSITY PARK - What do you plan to do with
your woodlot? Improve it? Enlarge it? Build a hunting
lodge? Plant Christmas trees? Sell logs or lumber?
E P. Farrand, associate professor of forestry Ex
tension at Penn State University, says you may own
woodland and idle farm land for profit or recreation but
management of the area is needed for proper resoi ce
development To help owners manage woodlands,
Farrand has written a correspondence course on small
woodland forestry. Lessons give directions on how to
control tree species by planting seedlings, encourage
growth of tall straight trunks by proper spacing and
removal of wood trees. Wildlife can also be protected by
growing food and cover plants.
To enroll in the course, write Forestry, Box 5000,
University Park, Pa. 16802. Make check for $4.50 payable
to Perm State. The correspondence course program offers
the option of returning question papers to Penn State for
correction and credit toward a certificate of ac
complishment or using the course as a valuable reference.
You want hydrostatic maneuverability and you
intend to have it in 79 or '80... right?
We think you can afford this mower in 78.

1. If you ever wear good shoes to the barn, you
are bound to walk in something that you shouldn't.
2. Snakes and other varmints are always found
where they're least expected.
3 If you leave the livestock in on a cloudy day,
because ram is expected, and go to town for the
day, the sun will shine brightly.
4. On the other hand, if you leave the livestock
out on a cloudy morning, and depart from the
place, there will be hurricane weather with snow,
hail, ana sleet all day
5. You can never crawl through a barbed wire
fence without leaving a "hunk” of your garments
behind
6 If you try to take a shortcut through the fields
and quickly run through a stretch of deep mud,
otherwise known as a bottomless bog, you will
always come out minus one shoe. Mud holes love
to eat shoes.

7. You will never split your jeans when working
alone, it will always occur when there is a crowd
around to hear that sickening ripping noise.
8. All farm animals are born with a sixth sense
ability to find any weak spots in a fenceline. Some
of the more advanced creatures have the talent to
invent a weak spot if none exist.
9. When driving a motored vehicle, such as a
tractor or truck, anytime you forget to check the
gas tank, you will run out of gasoline in some long
lost, forgotten-by civilization spot
10 Directions to anything are too confusing to
understand This includes the written variety to
equipment, or the oral variety of how to get
somewhere
11 No animal in the United States understands
English when you yell at them. They will simply get
a dumb “suffering" look on their faces and ignore
you.
12. Finally, whenever you think that life has
taught you everything, brace yourself for a sur
prise. A new shock is bound to be around the cor
