Said it was easy to get lost in these supermarkets!” THE Prayer of the Week This is my prayer to thee, my Lord— Strike, strike at the roof of penury in my heart. Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and SOTITOWS. Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service.

And give me the strength to surrender my strength to Thy will with love. MAYTOWN NEWS NOTES — The Rev. and Mrs. Edward Buller, Manuet, N. Y. spent Thanksgiving with Mr. and Mrs. John Buller.

Nat'l-Standard Sets Sales High For the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, National-Standard company reported sales of $124,219,322, a record. for the ninth consecutive year. Net income totaled $7,318,715 or $1.71 per share, 6% lower than ’69 earnings of $7,786, - 862, or $1.83 per share. According to chairman T. H. Pearce, the major sales entries came in machinery and equipment, particularly the Wagner Division, and from the English and Cana- dian subsidiaries. A substan- tial increase in foreign earn- ings helped make 1970 the second most profitable year in the company’s history, he said. “The overall results were obtained despite the unsatis- factory level of the economy in the last half of the fiscal year and the dislocations caused by strikes in the trucking, automobile and rubber industries,” Pearce said. “In addition, earnings were affected by strikes at two disisions of the company and by hgiher wage, material and service costs at all loca- tions,” he added. Total 1970 sales consisted of 64% in wire products, 20 percent in machinery and equipment and 16% in other metal products. Major mark- ets were fabricated metal products industry, rubber in- dustry, non-electrical machin- ery industry, transportation equipment industry, paper industry and electrical equip- ment industry. Pearce said the current quarter is running behind last year’s excellent record. “With the settlement of the automotive strike, however, the economy strengthen rap- idly,” Pearce predicted.“ “This expected upturn, together - with the probable 1971 inven- tory accumulation by custom- ers in advance of labor nego- tiations in the basic steel in- dustry, should insure satisfac- tory business for the remain- der of the fiscal year,” he ad- ded. National - Standard manu- factures specialty wire, spring steel, industrial wire cloth, steel forgings, perforated met- al, Fourdrinier wire belts and several lines of specialized machinery. The company has 22 facilities in 12 states and subsidiaries and affiliates in ten foreign countries.

Over The Back Fence By Max Smith FREEZING weather has arrived and this adds to the many chores that should be done around the home and on the farm. The mulching of the strawberry plants is now timely so that you will have a better crop next June. The way in which the plants sur- vive the winter may control the yield next spring. When the ground freezes it is time to apply 2 to 3 inches, of wheat or barley straw over the plants; this will keep out the sun and wind and help the amount of alternate freez- ing and thawing of the ground around the plants; when this occurs frequently we get heaving of the plants out of the ground. Also, the mulch will keep a more con- stant temperature of the soil around the roots and make them stronger next spring. Late November or early De- cember is a good time to co- ver the berries for their long winter dormant period. THE FREQUENT hauling of barnyard manure continues to be a good practice in ord- er to get the maximum bene- fits. At this time of the year we notice that some livestock producers (not dairymen) will pile the manure outside and haul it when time permits next spring. If the manure is allowed to become weathered it will lose much of its ferti- lizer value and then be good for only adding organic mat- ter. We still contend that the barnyard manure is a good source of part of the fertilizer needed locally and is worth handling and hauling to the fields. If the manure must be stored, it should be under WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1970 roof and in a water tight pit or section of the barnyard. Manure will not furnish all of the fertilizer elements needed for maximum crops, but on livestock and dairy farms it is a start toward a good crop fertilization pro- gram. A VERY discouraging thing on a zero morning is to have a dead or weak battery in your car, truck, or tractor. This is usually detected when temperatures are very low. When the length of the guar- antee on the battery is about ending, then you can expect it to get weaker or go dead altogether. Our engineers in- form us that it takes 3 or 4 miles of average driving on a cold morning to recharge the average battery; that is to re- place the power used to get it started. The water level in the battery should be kept full and frequent running of the motor is the best way to keep it alive. In cold weather the battery recharges slower and more power is needed to turn over the motor. Fre- quent checking and using of the battery is recommended. SOME OF the corn that was made into silage last fall may not have been the very best from a moisture and fungus- free standpoint. This was largely due to the leaf blight that dried the corn very quickly. As producers remove this silage from the silo we suggest that frequent inspec- tions be made to detect any mold. Most mature cattle are resistant to the toxic effects of moldy corn but cows with calf and cattle under a year of age should not get much moldy corn. Older fattening cattle seem to be able to util- ize it the best of all animals. Be very careful about feed- ing moldy corn to sheep, hogs or horses. We have not had many reports of moldy silage this fall, but want to alert feeders to be on the lookout for the problem. Po When in need of printing remember The Bulletin.
