Farm Talk
don’t want to settle down on the
{arm. Many of them left small
towns and rural areas for the
bright lights and what seemed to
be better opportunities.
A lot of farm men and some farm
women for that matter are starting
to talk about this problem and they
are seeking help. Some are even
advertising for spouses. Farm
Journal Magazine has agreed to
collect names and descriptions and
circulate a list. Perhaps there’s a
computer dating service that could
cater to a farm clientele. Maybe
there are other social agencies that
can aid in this process.
It’s encouraging that farmers
are willing to talk about this
problem. That’s a first step.
Maybe the next step is to become a
little more socially oriented
become involved in activities away
from the farm and leam more
about what is going on outside of
agriculture. Anybody whose gone
through the courting process
knows that packaging has a lot to
do with the product. Perhaps some
of these single farmers have spent
too much time and effort
establishing a business and have
allowed the package to

No doubt there are a lot of lonely
farmers looking for mates. I’m
fairly sure they won’t find those
mates from the seat of a combine
or through the window of a dairy
bam. Single farm men and women
who are serious about marriage
need to budget some time and
money for the process. In the mean
time maybe they should take a
serious look at themselves and
what they have to offer.
Maybe the best thing is to take a
bold imaginative step as one
Kansas farm girl did. She ran an
ad in the local farm paper when
she was 36 years old. It said
“Attractive single woman would
like to meet a rancher between 30
and 40, must be genuine and sin
cere.” The ad cost her $5 and
resulted in a marriage the
following summer.
If there are single farmers who
would like to be part of the Farm
Journal list, send your name,
address, age and a short
description to Meg Gaige, Farm
Journal, 910 West State Street,
Ithaca, NY 14850. She promises to
put together a list and circulate it
as soon as possible.

Forestry Section, Delaware’s
Biomass Energy Program and the
Delaware Tree Farm Committee

industry in Delaware will be
joining the country in observing
National Forest Products Week,
Oct. 21 - 27. The role of America’s

country’s economy is the message
of National Forest Products Week.
“America Grows On Trees” is
the theme of the Week that is
sponsored by the nation’s forestry
community. According to Brent ‘
Halsey, Chairman of the American
Forest Institute, “the forest
products industry is committed to
improving the health and
productivity of forestland under all
ownerships.”
“The industry’s credo is that
although we can not make more
land, we can make better use of

“the goal of this workshop is to tie
together forest management,
harvesting and fuel burning. These
three elements are very closely
connected, and all influence the
quantity of types of forests and
forest products we will have in the
future.”
“By making this key connection,
we hope that Delawareans can
then choose that option which best
fits their needs, and in turn, all
Delawareans will benefit. It is also
an opportune time to recognize and
honor the Delaware forest
products industry and outstanding
forest landowners in Delaware,”
Milliken said.

register for this workshop, contact
