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.
Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend
my knees before insolent might.
Give me the strength to raise my mind high above
daily trifles.
And give me the strength to surrender my strength to
Thy will with love.

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.

Four Thing in Life to Learn
I have four things to learn in life:
To think clearly without hurry or
confusion;
To love everybody sincerely;
To act in everything with the high-

To trust in God unhesitatingly.
