10 —Lancaster Fannins, Saturday, June 24,1978 Food advertising battle shaping up Farmers are getting hurt by deceptive and false advertising claims made by manufacturers of artificial and imitation food products which compete with farm products. Several farm organizations are now mounting campaigns to bring unfair advertising practices to a halt. But they need your support. Among those most concerned are such organizations as the National Dairy Council, the National Livestock and Meat Board, the American Egg Board, and United Egg Producers. Also in the forefront of the battle is the National Commission on Egg Nutrition, an independent organization which aims for truth in egg nutrition research. The National Commission on Egg Nutrition, (NCEN) filed a complaint THE QUIET REVOLUTION Lesson for June 25, 1978 Background Scripture: Acts 17. Devotional Reading: Acts 17:23-34. A black African leader TO CONTROL FLIES Recent weather conditions have favored the develop ment of a larger fly population; extra moisture presents ideal conditions for maggots to develop into flies. We suggest that livestock operators use residual insecticies on their buildings to cut down the house fly problem; materials such as Cygon, Korlan, and Rabon can be used. Be sure to follow directions about amounts and presence of livestock. One of the most important practices in keeping down the number of flies is to clean up the place and eliminate fly breeding areas. Manure packs and other filth are good fly breeding places. Cygon and Korlan sprays or applications on the surface of manure piles or packs will stop fly maggot develop ment Good sanitation along RURAL ROUTI was interviewed by a newsman. Asked what had influenced him most as a revolutionary leader, he replied without hesitation: “The Christian missionary school I attended.” Many Christians were shocked to think that their contributions to the missions had in any way influenced this man to become a revolutionary. Ironically this story broke in the summer of 1976 while Americans were celebrating their own revolutionary heritage. World Upside Down Yet there is no question but that Christianity has been a revolutionary force with the proper use of in secticides can keep flies under control. TO RENOVATE OLD STRAWBERRY BEDS If the old plants are to be kept for another season, they should be thinned out and fertilized after the current crop is picked. This can be done by band or by use of a cultivator to narrow the rows. A complete fertilizer application, and especically nitrogen, will encourage new growth and additional runner plants. Most strawberry plants will give their best yields the first year after the planting year; however, with good care they can be profitable for a year or so longer. The allow them to grow into a solid mass of plants is not a good practice. New plan tings should be fertilized when planted and again during mid-summer. The earlier that new runner DAD gO WHERE. ARE THE. CHICKENS 1 I PUT ASIDE TO TAKE last month with the Federal Trade Commission requesting action against Miles Laboratories for an advertising campaign about eggs and heart disease. The National Livestock and Meat Board (NLMB) has filed a similar complaint. Recently, the NLMB requested the FTC to order four food manufac turers to cease and desist from “false, deceptive, and misleading" advertising which claims health benefits for their meat substitute and vegetable oil products. Named in the complaint were Miles Laboratories, makers of Mornmgstar Farms meat substitute products; Standard Brands, Inc., makers of Fleischmann’s margarine and Egg Beaters: Best Foods Division of CPC International, Inc., makers of Mazola from its very beginning. Testimony to this is found in Acts 17 when Paul ami Silas are working in Thessalonica. Encountering the two missionaries in the synagogue, some of the Jews of Thessalonica drag some of the Christians before the town authorities, charging: “These men who have tamed the world upside down, have come here also” (17*). Wherever Paul and Silas went - as well as other Christian missionaries - they were upsetting people and turning communities “upside down.” No matter how you slice it, the Good News of Jesus Christ is a plants are rooted, the better they will yield next spring. TOSHEAR PINE TREES In this part of the state June and July would be the time to shape pine trees. This is true of ornamental plantings as well as those being grown for Christmas trees. The shearing should be done when most of the new growth has developed. Shearing is done to improve the shape of the tree, and in many cases to keep the size under control to fit the landscape. Spruce and fir trees should not be sheared until late fall and winter. Most pine trees will become thicker and more attractive when pruned at this time of the year. This work should not be done on a tree before it is at least 3 to 4 feet high. TO SPRAY ALFALFA FOR LEAF HOPPERS One of the most '/ r v , »-• corn oil and margarine: and PVO International, Inc., makers of Saffola margarine and' vegetable oil products. In addition to requesting a cease and desist order, the Meat Board has asked the FTC to seek a temporary injunction prohibiting the advertising pending issuance and adjudication of a formal complaint, according to a National Dairy Council publication. The nation’s egg industry has been battling Standard Brands for many months. The battle takes place not only on supermarket shelves where the farmer’s eggs face competition from Standard Brands' Egg Beaters, but m board and court rooms as well. This Fall, the American Egg Board and United Egg Producers hope to take their case to court. They’re revolutionary message and force! No community was ever the same again. These men upset the peaceful balance of communities by challenging their religions, their business practices, and their moral standards. Governmental authorities looked upon these people as politically subversive and many were treated as such. Jesus, The Other King One of the reasons they were regarded so suspiciously by civil authorities was their in sistence upon calling Jesus their Lord. Political leaders saw this as a threat to the authority of the > Roman Caesar and his empire. destructive insects on alfalfa in this part of the state is the potato leaf hopper. This insect usually attacks new growth and will stunt the plants and cause them to turn yellow. Growers who have finished the first cutting should make plans to spray the field with Cygon, Malathion, or Methoxychlor Farm Calendar Saturday, June 24 “Farmers breakfast” at Willow Valley Restaurant, Willow Street.

Farmers - whether- they be dairymen poultrymen,, or cattlemen ari urged to consider the challenge involved. There is a lot of stake. A little time and money invested now to protect the integrity of your markets could pay big dividends m years to come. This battle agamsf' unfair advertising is one with which every farmer should become in volved. Unfair advertising should be stopped dead in its tracks as soon as possible. Thus, in Thessalonica the Jews accused the Christians of saying that “there is another king, Jesus.” Well, of course, we do regard Jesus as Lord and King. Yet, Jesus is a dif ferent kind of king. He seeks no political or temporal kingdom and his sovereignty is spiritual. To be sure, his Lordship often has con sequences that are political, social and economic in nature, but that is not the focus of his sovereignty in men’s hearts. This also means that although his Good News is revolutionary and throws the world into ferment, still his when the next growth is 2 to 4 inches high. Prevention is much better than to try and correct the problem after stunting is noticed. Second and third cuttings of alfalfa are usually top quality and very valuable for feeding or for selling pur poses. Growers are urged to make every effort to get maximum yields.
