Now Is The Time (Continued from Page AlO) that profits will be more difficult to realize and some very good management will be needed to come out in the black. Today’s farmer must be a better business man than his forefathers. He must be able to handle labor, money, equipment, and keep up to date on all regulations and cultural practices. He must be able to plan ahead and to be organized with all of his responsibilities. He should practice good public relations with his neighbors and respect the rights of others. Good managment is just as important in farming as it is m any other industry or business Work at it and it will pay dividends. cattle can consume it Special attention to reducing feed waste will increase profits. TO BE A BETTER FARM MANAGER As we look ahead to 1981, it is difficult to realize just what major problems will confront the average far mer.

Lt. Hunter maintained state troopers are only doing their jobs, but what about the speeding, drunk and careless driving, which kill or injure more people than overweight trucks. I am yet to see most of the state troopers and most of the state cars driving the speed limit. The excuse is the state doesn’t have the money to fix the bridge. If a lot of people wouldn’t have to have their pocket filled, the f^SdWtyßWver Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 3,1981—A37 cost at replacing a bridge or any road could be cut quite a bit. Instead of Gov. Thorn burgh giving big raises, he should cut the pays by one half and they still would be overpaid. He could get rid of 90 percent of the so-called traffic inspectors and at least 85 percent of the engineers. It would be interesting to know how much money was spent on roads and bridges in the Harrisburg area and how much more on the new bridge next to 1-83 which looks like a four lane bridge. Harold E. Gordon R 1 Spring Grove Dear Editor: I read your Bridge article in the December 27 Lan caster Fanning with much interest and noted that there were 30 mobile scale teams sent out on state roads this fall to catch overweight trucks. I don’t know how much these scale teams cost in terms of man hours, equipment and money, but it would seem that these costs over a one year period would be enough to replace the Conrail bridge east of Quarryville. At least we’d have one new bndge. Frank Peiffer RlPequea
