The nitrates come from fertilizer which farmers spread on their fields, and the problem is common in Lancaster County and other agricultural areas. Boiling water does not solve the problem; it makes it worse. Adults and children over six months of age are apparently unaffected by low levels of nitrate conta- mination. Nitrate in drinking water was first associated in 1945 with a temporary blood disorder in infants called methemoglobinemia.

The Cogars, who all come from the same little town in West Virginia, scooped up most of the axe and saw wood cutting awards.
