“Over the Back Fence”

THE RECENT livestock tour into Ohio with two bus loads
of Lancaster countians was
very worthwhile.
The Ohio
feeders demonstrated to us how they are producing cheap

WITH THE shortage of bedding for all
livestock throughout the county we repeat
is a problem on many farms
and the corn fodder supply
might help the situation.
FALL STEAMING of aobacco
beds for next year contin-
ues to be a good practice.
Plants grown in these beds
next spring will usually
come along faster because the
soil has had a chance to re-
turn to normal conditions.
Manure and peat moss should
be worked into the area be-
fore steaming but fertilizer
should not be applied until
next spring.

THE DISTRICT Hay Show &
Forage Conference recently
held at the Guernsey Sale
Pavilion was a very worth-
while event; it’s unfortunate
that more Lancaster County
farmers didn’t take time to
attend this all-day event. We
learned that low-moisture
hay-crop silage (haylage) can
be successfully made in the
conventional, upright silos;
research reveals this fact as
well as experiences in our
own part of the state. Too
bad so many of you dairy-
men are getting this informa-
tion second-handed.
HOME-OWNERS are remind-
ed of the danger of permit-
ting shrubs and evergreens
to go into the winter months
under drought conditions.
This is especially true of the
shrubs that have been plant-
ed during the past season. If
the plant roots are dry when
the ground freezes, there will
be more severe winter-kill-
ing. We urge the soaking of
the ground around these
plants before the ground
freezes, providing heavy
rains do not come. Be sure
the moisture gets down into
the root zone.

behavior is a gem of child psychology so
paste this Case Record in your scrapbook and index it
under the heading
excellent safety valves for
“Pre-school behavior”.
Words are
draining off what might
otherwise be intense explosions of nervous energy. “A
barking dog seldoms bites”, is a comparable adage.
CASE M-471: Arnell R., aged 4,
is the attractive blonde
son of a medical colleague of mine who came to visit us at
our farm home last summer. They arrived in the evening,
and Arnell wanted to see our rabbits. We told
could do that next morning.
him he
A “Arnell, your eye is inflammed. Let Daddy put some
medicine in it,” his mother suggested, just as she was ready
to tuck him into bed.
But Arnell protested and
started screaming, but his
mother held him firmly while
his father treated his eye.
Afterwards, his father held
him on his lap, while Arnell
sobbed in lessening tempo.
“I’m going to cut my eye.
out and throw it away.” he
exclaimed very positivey, as
he attemlipted to vent his ire.
Projection or Buck-Passing
But it is typical of human
beings not to blame them-
selves very long, so they soon
begin to protect their ire on
outsiders.
The latter may not merit
10 percent of the blame, but
we quickijly attempt to make
them at least 90 percent res-
ponsible.
“The other kids told me
to do it,” is the common re-
frain of childhood when a
youngster gets into trouble.

his wife more or less chronic-
ally. A tactful woman realiz-
es this universal masculine
trait, so she usually accepts
the unmerited blame without
protest, knowing that her
husband is simpy trying to
let off spschological ‘steam’,
so to speak.
The sooner he talks him-
self out of his anger, the
quicker he will retudn to a
more pleasant disposition.
Degrees of Protection
“Now your eye will get well
and you can see the rabbits
in the morning,” I said, in
trying to divert the boy’s al-
tention from his present pain
to the future pleasures.
“I don’t want to see rab-
bits,” he tartly rebuffed me.
“I don’t like rabbits.”
This statement was patent-
ly untrue but it shows that
Arnell had begun to quit
laying the blame on his eye
and was beginning tactfully
to launch an attack against
adults in the environment.
He really felt hostile to his
father, but was launching his
attack discreetly by first fir-
ing a barrage at me. It was
like an artilleryman’s at-
tempt to get the range. Neith-
er Arnelll's father nor I
made any reply to his state-
ment, so he aimed his next
barrage closer to his real tar-
get.
“I don’t love Daddy,” was
his next shot, but his father
still held him on his lap, and
ignored this latest sally.
Words As Safety Valves
Arnell’s internal ire had
built up such an explosive
emotional force that it need-
ed a safety valve.

Trash, Garbage Problem
Manheim Borough Council
held a special meeting Wed-
nesday, Nov. 6, to discuss the
feasibility of having trash
and garbage collected by the
borough rather than by a
private contractor. i
The decision to hold the
special session was announc-
ed at a council meeting Tues
day night.
In other action, council
voted: to assume cost again of
lighting Christmas displays
on Market Square; to ap-
prove the Hershey and Keen-
er development plans for
West Colebrook and Rapho
Streets; to place two new
lights in the disposal plant
area; and to equip all bor-
ough vehicles with fire extin-
guishers.
