Over The | Back Fence By Max Smith THE EFFECTS of air pol- lution on the county tobacco crop were less evident this Summer than seen in several years. Just why the usual flecking failed to appear is not exactly understood. The presence of excess ozone in the atmosphere normally cau- ses the symptoms to show on the larger leaves just ahead of harvest. This season the air was obviously lower in ozone content — perhaps due to a lower average tempera- ture and above-average rain- fall. Conditions were simply unfavorable for development of the symptoms on the lead- ing cash crop of the county. IF NEXT year’s milk produc- tion is to hit higher seasonal prices, dairymen must plan to accomplish this. Cows and heifers should be bred be- tween mid-September and mid-October. This practice will have a greater propor- tion of their milk production come during the higher price period which occurs from Ju- ly until the peak is reached in the Fall. Pennsylvania milk prices normally dip to a low point in May and June. By freshening in the early Summer, the main lactation time of the animals will coin- cide with the higher seasonal prices. In effect, too, they will not contribute to surplus milk during the March-to- June base payment period. IT HAS long been known and observed that homeown- ers and farmers miss a good opportunity to improve their lawns and pastures in late Summer and early Fall, The cool season grasses which are grown hereabouts grow much better during the autumn period. Temperature and the moisture are favorable. Rains are more dependable, usual- ly occurring as gentle show- ers. Weed competition is on the decline, By liming and fertilizing during the imme- diate weeks just ahead, you have the double advantage of both the Fall and Spring growing periods. Would there be much of a loss of plant nutrients over the Winter? Not really enough to be of any economic concern, Both phosphorus and potash re- main in the soil; slight losses of nitrogen in the nitrate form could be expected. ANOTHER school year has started. Efforts of modern educators will be directed to teaching Johnny and Mary at the elementary level to read, write, and do math. Most of the teachers will not have the advantage of a prac- tice popular in the one room school house — having older children help the younger ones, According to recent re- searchers at a Midwest insti- tute, they ound that child- ren involved in ‘“crossage helping” learned more rapid- ly and developed a better at- titude toward school, self, & others. We wonder where these researchers have been. This principle of remedial work: for slower learners and enrichment for brighter stu- dents has been used success- fully for many years by those of us who work closely with youth programs, such as 4-H. We call the teaching teen lea- dership by name. A New Haven locomotive once ran through a house and a sailboat. They had been blown onto a causeway dig- ing the 1938 hurricane! But crew and passengers were carried to safety! There are more pet cats in the United States than pet dogs! WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1970 -: Engagements : - HEDRICK-—-NICHOLSON Mr, and Mrs. George J.

Then we also recall our three daughters’ childhood pets, which included most of the things mentioned above, plus two big white ducks, a large white rabbit, goldfish, and even an iguana! A» * ¥ One of the most unusual pets of which we have heard lately is a little chipmunk who lives at our sister's home in Southern Indiana. Its home is under the stone porch, but it appears at reg- ular intervals for peanuts. But what makes the little animal so fascinating is the fact that it plays up and down a wheel chair ramp built over the back steps of the porch. It has three or four black walnuts which it carries to the top of the ramp and then, one at a time, rolls them down the ramp! As soon as the walnuts reach the bottom of the ramp, with a nice, rattly sound, he runs down and carries them up a- gain, to begin the play all’ over again! At first he didn’t like for anyone to watch him do this, but now he will carry them up and roll them down even when someone is sitting on the porch. We saw this hap- pen, and wished for a movie camera to record it! * * % Another unusual pet has been seen on the streets of Mount Joy this summer in the Florin area. It is a skunk, out walking on a leash, with a very proud owner! To Play Italians Chess by Mail Morrell Shields, Columbia ovenue, instrumental music teacher in the Donegal school district, this. week was noti- fied that he will be playing in a correspondence chess tournament with Italian op- ponents, beginning January 1, 1971 and continuing thru Dec. 31, 1972. The tourna- ment is being sponsored by the International Correspon- dence Chess Federation. Mr. Shields, a member of the “A” team, in #5 position, is the only Pennsylvanian a- mong the 53 United States players who have been in- vited to play.in the tourna- ment. The tournament is planned to further cultural exchange between countries of the world on a person-to-person basis, and the players are en- couraged to write to each other concerning things other than chess plays. Mr. Shields does not speak or write Italian, so he is hop- ing that his opponents will have a knowledge of English. Otherwise, it is hard to find a translator for the letters.
