PAGE SEVEN Over The Back Fence By Max Smith THE PRACTICE of grow- ing continuous corn on a field is one that bears considerable attention. I am aware this has been done on some local fields and in many fields thru- out the corn belt. However, we may face increasing prob- lems from corn rootworms, leaf blights, and soil compac- tion. We are already inform- ed of more adult rootworms feeding on the silks of field corn this year .than ever be- fore; the amount of damage done to the root system of the stalks will no doubt show up between now and harvest time. We have been well in- formed of the leaf blight con- dition in other parts of the country; it may well appear in our part of the country within the next month. Soils that are row-cropped continu- ously drop in organtic matter and may get hard and com- pacted, which will reduce yields. All of these problems are worthy of close attention on all local farms. : THE SELECTION of winter grain varieties is timely and all growers are urged to or- der their needs soon. There is a great difference in the yield of certain varieties and all growers are urged to start with Certified seed. Due to the introduction of new varieties, there is a need to become acquainted with the characteristics of the various grains. Some wheats are re- sistant to Hessian Fly (Red- coat), while others are sus- ceptible (Blue Boy). Planting. after the 10th of October (or first killing frost) is needed in order to prevent fly troub- le, NEW SEEDINGS of alfalfa that were made carlier in Au- gust will be needing some weed control attention, On these strait seedings without any nurse crop, spraying for the control of weeds is a “must”. Those who fail to recognize this problem will have weed trouble later this fall. If the field was not sprayed with Eptam just pri- or to seeding, then it should be sprayed with 2, 4, D-B when the weeds are from 1 to 2 inches high, This should be done even though very few weeds may be seen; they will come later and then be too large to control. Weed control on new seedings is a very important practice and must be timed properly in order to get a good weed kill. I'VE OFTEN heard the ques- tion from some of my non- farm friends relating to how many hours per day does a farmer work. A recent sur- vey by our Farm Manage- ment at Penn State reveals that the. average farmer works 54 hours per week and the average dairy farmer works 66 hours per week. The average hired farm wor- ker spends 56 hours per week at his job. It is also interest- ing to notice that in this sur- vey it was found that 27% of the farms depended upon the family labor for all of the work. This survey was made several years ago but reflects the long hours expended to produce the food and fiber for our growing population. @® Worry Clinic (From page 5) (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, en- closing a long stamped, ad- dressed envelope and 20c to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.) Roast duckling—South Seas stvle with fruit rice stuffing-is ideal for an informal dinner party on the patio. If you preter to barbecue the duckling outside, or on an electric rotisserie indoors simply insert the rotisserie spit through the cavities of the hird and tighten the holding prongs at both ends of the duckling. Tie the wings against the breast. Tie the legs together loosely, looping the cord around the tail and then tighten the cord to hold the bid securely on the spit.

In the September issue of “Consumer Report,” publish- ed by the Consumers Union of U. S., Inc.. shoes produc- ed by Gerberich-Payne of Mt, Joy are rated No. 1 for boys. A study of 16 brand names and dozens of models, Ger- berich shoes were rated at the too of the lot and called “Acceptable — Very Good.” Prices studies ranged from $11.95 to $15.95. They were “judged slightly more durable than most and to retain appearance slightly better. The “Consumer Reports” monthly examines a number of consumed products — in September from masking tape and cocktail mixers to shoes and sports cars. In its accompanying artic- le concerning the shoe rat- ing, Consumers Union places high importance upon proper fit for boys shoes and points out that a lifetime of walk- ing has been estimated at anywhere from 65,000 to 250,000 miles, “Even -child- ren,” CU says, are good for 30,000 steps or so a day.” And then adds, “It’s not hard to under- stand how poorly fitted shoes can mean damage that isn’t apparent until years after the E'town College Changes Elizabethtown College has reordered its administrative structure for the 1970-71 aca- demic year to allow Presi- dent Morley J. Mays more time for fund-raising and long - range planning, The shift of emphasis, which was apgroved by the College's Board of Trustees, essentially frees President Mays from the day-to-day op- erations of the college and gives more direct responsibi- lity for these to the four ma- jor administrators under him. While President Mays will be available for consultation on general budget and staff decisions and new policy, he will spend the bulk of his time® off-campus contacting foundations and other sourc- es of financial support. The Executive Committee of the board recommended the change. Dr. A. G. Brein- denstine of Lancaster, trust- ees chairman, said the com- mittee felt that “Elizabeth- Washington Fires Alert Local Men Forest fires raging in the state of Washington, are of grave concern to six mem- bers of the E-town, Mt.

Eugene Alt- land, of Mount Joy, received word from the State that a crew of men were to be pre- pared to leave with a 4 hour notice - - - their destination? - - - the state of Washington, to help’ the now over 8,000 men fight the rampaging fires, The Federal Govern- ment stated they would send a special aircraft to Olmsted field for the men, take them to Idaho where they will be dispatched to Washington. The men were packed in no time at all and are at the time of this printing, waiting word from the state, to leave on their mission. Friday evening the District Inspector informed the War- den that 500 men from Idaho were sent into Washington and the next grouvn would be from Penna. (The E-town,- Mt.

State Inspector, Glassmoyer, stated that if they had 2 in- ches of rain, it would still re- quire two weeks to put out this fire, which already has burned 100,000 acres. One man was killed Thursday when struck by a wind-felled tree, and two men were Kil- led by aircraft and several by heart attacks. The six men that are plan- ning to leave® from the area, have asked for a 2-week leave of absence from their of employment and Mr. Altland expressed his appreciation in the coopera- tion of the employers, since the men will be gone for a 2 week period. At this printing, there are 22 forest fires in progress, north of the Canadian border and 39 forest fires in - the state of Washington. town College, as is true of most church colleges, is pre- sently at the point of decis- ion.” “Two big jobs on behalf of the College must be done; one is careful, long-range planning, and the other is finding more adzquate means of support,” he said. Dr. Breidenstine was refer- ring to a reevaluation of the College’s long-range project- ion of growth and develop- ment currently underway as part of the multi-phase EPIC program initiated several years ago, and to the need for additional support to fin- ance such growth and devel- opment and to keep the cost cf education moderate. As part of the re-ordering of administrative assignments, James L. M. Yeingts, director of develop- ment and public relations, will assume additional duties as Executive Assistant to the President, In this position, a new one. Yeingst will be responsible for many duties Dr. Mays performed and will coordin- ate the work of the four maj- or administrative areas. He also will serve as an immedi- point of reference for prob- lems that transcend normal administrative decision-mak- ing. The other major adminis- trative areas besides develop- ment and public relations are headed by Dr. Wayne L. Miller, dean of the faculty; Earl H. Kurtz, treasurer; and Dr. John H. Taylor, dean of student affairs. offending shoes have been thrown: away.” The Gerberich-Payne Shoe company was formed in 1919 by the late Enos S.
