OUR READERS WRITE, AND OIHEK OPINIONS (Continued from Page Al 2) Send a letter now A movement toward Federal legislation on farm animal regulations is now being actively pursued by Congressman Ronald Mottl (D-Ohio). An extensive study was done at the Congressman’s request by 24 scientists associated in agricultural fields and included Dr. Michael Fox. They could not substantiate adverse effects from confinement rearing. But, because of a letter writing campaign by animal welfare groups, Congressman Mottl now wants House Joint Resolution 305 passed and a 16 man commission established. This commission will recommend codes and laws regulating production of livestock, farms, etc. They_will establish guidelines within two years of its inception. Tell Congress we are against regulation. We need a letter writing campaign by farmers the ones who are going to be regulated. Write to your congressman m Washington at 2411 Rayburn House Office Building, Wasmgton DC 20515, and write to the Hon. Tom Harkin, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC 20615.

This time of year is best suited for planting all kinds of trees. Some are used for landscape purposes, some for shade and some for windbreaks. Trees are important to our environment and add grace and beauty to many areas. Trees provide shelter for many kinds of birds and wildlife, as well as the ability to conserve soil and moisture. If you desire to plant trees, it should be done before hot weather arrives. Trees should be moved with a ball of soil wrapped in burlap. After planting be sure to keep the soU moist throughout the summer. Be a tree planter, you’ll feel better for it. To Avoid Sadden Feed Changes Cattle should be introduced to pastures gradually for several reasons according to our Dairy Agent, Glenn Shirk. A sudden change to a pasture feeding program can upset a cow’s rumen causing her to go off feed. As a result, fat tests and milk production can decline. Excess consumption of grass early m the season can also cause grassy odors and flavors in milk. That’s one thing we do not need as we are trying to increase milk con sumption! P. L. ROHRER & BRO..
