“Over the Back Fence”

THERE SEEMS to be a lot of speculation
the amount of winter wheat that farmers are going to plant
this fall; with the defeat of the government wheat control
program earlier this year, some may feel
that the acreage will jump in large pro-
I doubt if this will happen and
sincerely hope that it doesn’t; there will
be little value in adding more bushels of
wheat to the existing abundance; however,
livestock and poultry producers that plan
and need the
straw for bedding material, might be ec-
onomically justified to produce what they
portions.
to feed the wheat grain
need on their own farm.

CONSIDERABLE RESEARCH indicates that there may
be a nutritional advantage for high-moisture shelled or ear
corn silage in rations for fattening cattle.
ies with dairy cows indicate
pected in milk production,
when cows .are .fed a high
moisture corn that has been
ensiled, or an equal amount
of dry matter as dry corn. It
is usually more economical
to ensile the entire corn
plant than any single part of
it.
HAVE YOU noticed some
or your shade trees with a
discolored or dead tip or
edge on the leaves? If so,
join the ranks of many of
us who have trees suffering
with leaf scorch. This results
from the lack of adequate
water. During the past six
months very few parts of the
county had sufficient rainfall
to soak down to the tree root
zone. The solution to the
problem is to soak the soil
around the tree roots every
two weeks to a depth of two
feet or more. This is not a
disease; it is a moisture con-
dition.
OUR PENN STATE lawn ex-
perts advise us to keep mow-
ing the lawn in the fall as
long as the grass will grow;
many home-owners lose in-
terest and ambition to mow
the lawn in the fall when
colder weather arrives. In
the case of the bluegrass
lawn, the grass will grow
faster in the fall months with
the cooler weather and the
larger amounts of rain fall.
Don't put away the lawn
mower until cold and freez-
ing weather stops the growth
of the grass. Long, matted
grass on the lawn going into
the winter may result in
severe outbreaks of snow-
mold.
THIS DOESN'T surprise Lan-
caster Countians, does it?

A recent summary of 50,000
complete soil tests made at
Penn State University in re-
cent years shows that the
soils of southeastern counties
are higher in fertility than
the soils of western and nor-
thern tier counties. This re-
lates to the amounts of avail-
able calcium, phosphorus,
and potash in the soil.
POTATO GROWERS report
a pretty good crop of second-
growth in some fields due to
the delayed rainfall. These
potatoes and others not
grading as firsts, may be fed
to dairy cattle, steers, and
hogs. It usually takes about
three pounds of potatoes to
equal one pound of corn.
They may be fed raw to cat-
tle but be cooked before be-
ing fed to hogs. They may
be chopped into the silo as
silage but should be mixed
with some dry matter such
as hay and straw. Interested
growers are urged to obtain
additional information.

™ WORRY CLINIC
Case Records of a Psychologist
By - George W. Crane, PhD., M. D.
Cal indicates some of the latest scientific methods
that are used in modern salesmanship. But all star sales
men learn to watch the “psychic weathervanes” to see
which way the winds of customer interest are blowing
Send for the booklet below.
It is valuable to clerics,
teachers and doctors as well as commercial salesmen.
CASE M-455: Cal H., aged 35, is a talented automobile
salesman.
Dr. Crane,” he said, “we have a large display room
with several tables lined up in a row.
“We let the prospect and his wife sit on one side while
the salesman faces them.
“After we have put on our
sales talk and the prospect is
still uncertain, we salesmen
may then hear a tiny click-
click, for what the customer
doesn’t know, is that we
have a hidden microphone at
each table.
“The Big Boss thus can
listen to what goes on. And
when he thinks it wise, he
signals us with this click-
click.
“That sound doesn’t mean
a thing to an outsider, but it
tells us salesmen to excuse
ourselves for a minute so
the prospect and his wife
can be left alone.
“We then hasten into the
inner office where the Big
Boss is sitting at the micro-
phone.
“Then we all eavesdrop to
find out what is the final
‘straw’ that seems to be tip:
ping the scales against our
sale.
“Generally, the husband
and wife will make some
such remark as ‘If they'd just
allow us $50 more on our old
car as a trade-in, we'd make
the deal’.
“Well we salesmen then
casually saunter back to the
prospect, as if we have never
heard a word he has been
saying to his wife, and then
we summarize our chief sales
points, but end with the re-
mark that his car has been
kept in very good condition,
so maybe we could stretch a
point and allow him an extra
$50 on the trade-in.

Hot or Cold, Fire Co. Opens Drive
A drive for funds for op-Alcoa
erating expenses was begun
Monday night by the Man-
heim Fire company, and
will close on Oct. 14. Cards
have been distributed to
homeowners in the Manheim
Sporting Hill and Park Hill
areas.
The drive was made neces-
sary by the fact that the fire
company can no longer raise
funds by holding carnivals
and bingo games as in the
past.

Propose Sewage System
A sanitary sewage system,
to cost nearly $1 million, has
been recommended for Mari-
etta borough and neighboring
Irishtown and Maytown.
A feasibility study made
by Buchart-Horn Engineers,
York, outlining this proposed
system was taken under stu-
dy Tuesday night by Marietta
Borough Council.
The joint system serving
the three areas was one of
three proposals offered by
Buchart-Horn.
The second would have
Irishtown and Marietta oper-
ating under one system and
Maytown operating alone in
another. The third alternative
presented would have a sing-
le system serving Marietta
and Irishtown and Maytown
being served under a separ-
ate system.
Although exact cost esti-
mates were not disclosed, the
engineering firm's represen-
tative Harry Wagner told
Marietta’s councilman the
three community combined
system would cost less.
For this system, the cost
would be “within several
hundred thousand dollars of

Aids Medical Planning
An Elizabethtown man, D.
Paul Witmer, former resident
of the borough, was one of
those responsible for plann-
ing to start a medical center
by the Milton S. Hershey
Foundation, announcement of
which came a few weeks ago.
Mr. Witmer was chairman
of the board of managers of
the Milton Hershey School
in 1959 when it celebrated
the 50th anniversary of its
founding, and plans for the
medical center were begun
in that year.
The new institution will
become the seventh medical
Heart Disease
At New High
Heart disease claimed 52,-
751 deaths in Pennsylvania
last year, a new high for the
disease which has been the
principal cause of death in
the state for 39 years.
The State Highway Depart-
ment said the previous high
was 51,735 deaths in 1961.
Arteriosclerosis (hardening
of the arteries) and coronary
heart disease (disease of ves-
sels feeding the heart muscle)
accounted for 39,803 deaths
or 75 per cent of all heart
disease deaths, the Depart:
ment said.
Dr. Charles
state health secretary, said
there are promising new
drugs which can effectively
lower blood pressure and
diets which can assist in
lowering blood fats, some-
times associated with heart
disease.

school in Pennsylvania. Five
of them are in Philadelphia
— Jefferson, Hahnemann,
University of Pennsylvania,
Temple University and Wom-
en’s. The University of Pitts-
burgh Medical School is only
one outside of Philadelphia.
The new medical center in
no way will detract from the
work carried out with the
boys’ schools.
To be known as the Milton
Hershey Medical Center, the
school will enroll about 300
students, and the hospital
will be able to accomodate
between 200 and 300.
It probably will be located
on a tract of land bounded on
the north by the Hershey-
Harrisburg road; on the south
by Wood street; and in the
approximate area of the west-
ernmost Hershey Farm.
The hospital will be oper-
ated by the Pennsylvania
State University. Construe-
tion for the hospital is sched-
uled to begin in one year,
and first students may be ad-
mitted on a limited basis
within two years.
Fifty million dollars have
been earmarked by the trus-
tee for the medical center.
Approximately half of that
amount will be used in the
construction of the center;
the other half will go into
an endowment fund to under-
write the center’s operations.
Sound driving calls for
lower speed on residential
streets, particularly near
parked cars. Most child traf-
fic accidents occur when a
youngster runs into the
street from behind a parked
car.
