14 —Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 7,1979 Vegetable gardens not damaged by TMI MIDDLETOWN ~ If someone called me up at this time I’m going to tell them to go ahead and plant a garden. At the moment, what have we got to lose” said John Harris, Dauphin County Extension agent “I don’t think the experts at Three Mill Island are trying to fool Editor: Greetings from Centre County. Just a few lines to let you know your picture (Energy crisis) doesn’t correspond with the shadow. Your shadow shows a muffler and no shadow of an oil can. I also wonder how you cut the bottom of your oil can out. Do you think we could run our jigsaw with wind by April 1,1960? Sincerely, Timmy Stoltzftu Rebersburg Editor: In your article on the World Plowing Cham pionships held in Germany, you fell a little short of a fully comprehensive review. You failed to include in the article the champions’ names and the countries they represented. It is nice to know that the peace of the world was more important than winning, but I would bet my last dollar that had America pulled off the championship, all the nice talk about peace and its importance would have taken a back seat in Joyce Bupp’s resume. I was born and raised in Ireland, a little country that has continually participated in the World Plowing Championships, and on a few occasions has been cham pion with both horse and us. The area surrounding the plant will constantly be monitored.” So if home gardeners do plant and “in a month or so nothing shows up, we are that much further ahead in our planting. Home gardeners don’t seem too be to worried about Spring garden planting after the incident at Three Mile Island (TMI). As one tractor, so it would have been nice to know who last year’s champions were. Hoping you will pay more detail in the future to the important parts, and not only when America is at stake.
