To the best of my knowledge there is no un- biased research work to back up this claim; during 1970 the Blight infected corn fields of all stages of fertility if they contained the TMS cytoplasm. Growers are urged to evalu- ate these claims thoroughly before investing in them for the stated purpose. It is sug- gested that the corn crop be planted as soon as possible this spring and to have suffic- ient plant food to grow the crop quickly without undue stress; this may be attained through the use of many types of fertilizer in addition to liquid forms. AS WARM weather arrives some corn may begin to heat and mold if it was too high in moisture last fall.

The fattening hog may be the best animal to utilize low quality grain. If it is giv- en to hogs free choice in ad- dition to other grain of good quality, the hog will only eat what he wants of the poor grains and not get digestive disorders, When the moldy grain is mixed with other feeds, he is forced to eat the poor quality feed and may be toxic. Careful management is needed with off-quality grains at any time. THE PASTURE season is ap- proaching when many live- stock producers, and the live- stock, look forward to getting out to graze which means re duced chores for the farmer. However, dairymen should use extreme care in handling the milking herd when first turned to lush pastures, Off- flavored milk may be the re- sult if the cows are not re moved from the grazing area at least four hours A before milking time and also, they should be housed in a well ventilated barn or open shel- ter. Pastures with wild garlic should be grazed by dry cows or heifers in order to prevent onion - flavored milk. Most cows will relish the garlic plants if given the opportuni- ty, and the entire milk supply for that day may be ruined. Careful herd management is very important in the spring when the cows are first turn- ed out to lush mixtures. A feeding of dry matter such as hay or silage is strongly rec- ommended each morning be- fore the herd goes to pasture. THE PRACTICE of feeding some hay while cattle are on pasture is a good idea; this dry matter slows down the passage of the fresh forage through the digestive system and permits more time for the digestive juices to extract the feed nutrients. Portable hay racks are suggested in which to feed this hay. We have plans for these racks at our Extension Office and are so designed as to prevent the dropping of leaves and partic- les of hay on the ground. Feeding from a rack rather than from the ground or floor of a pen is much safer from the standpoint of stomach worm infection. Worm spores are abundant on manure packs and bedding; therefore, it is not good sanitation to permit animals to eat from the floor. An estimated 2,000 gamb- lers were active on the Missis- sippi in 1850! : Prayer Of The Week - - - The prayer this week is by W. E. Orchard: “O God, in whom we live and move and have our being, enable us to feel the strength that surrounds us, to follow the light that indwells us, and to avail our- selves of the wisdom Thou givest liberally to all who ask of Thee. “Give to us so great a love of truth that we may pass beyond all doubt and error, until our minds are stayed on Thee, and our thoughts are kept in perfect peace. Give us wisdom to follow the promptings of duty in our daily lives, that we may grow conscious of Thy presence who workest hitherto, and callest us to be fellow-workers now with Thee. “Grant unto us the grace of penitence that we may not grow insensible to our need of forgiveness, from one another, and from Thee; but seek cleansing in com- munion, fellowship in the light, and rest upon Thy heart. Amen.” % Medical Center (From page 1) As viewed Wednesday nite, a center would be a joint ven- ture between Mount Joy and Elizabethtown. Although no one has any definite ideas a- about location, it was sugges- ted that somewhere between the two communities, possibly conveniently located to the Colebrook road interchange of Route 283, would be ideal. Because the center would become a ‘‘satellite” facility of the Lancaster hospitals — and possible Harrisburg—fast, convenient transportation would be very desirable. Although no definite form of financing has been decided upon, as explained by Irwin, erection of a building probab- ly would be a “stockholder” type arrangement with the general public holding the control through its purchases of stock. The proposed plan would provide for the employment of a full-time physician who would direct the center, as- sisted by paramedical person- nel which would man the facility 24 hours a day. Probably, the building, which might cost $200,000, would include space for a number of “extra” services which would be available on a visiting specialist basis. Irwin, who heads an Eliza- bethtown committee seeking expanded medical service for his_town, said that probably the first question to be resolv- ed in Mount Joy is: “Do you need such a community ser- vice?” It was indicated that in Eli- zabethtown, more medical personnel is needed. It was suggested that perhaps at the present moment Mount Joy does not but that within the not too distant future it prob- ably will. Such questions as. staffing were placed high on the list of important questions. How the staff will be organized for service and how the center would fit into the existing pattern of the healing arts in this area are deemed highly important. Irwin emphasized that the Lancaster hospitals already have indicated full and com- plete cooperation, when and if such a center is established. He said that ‘satellite’ cen- ters such as is being proposed appear to be the coming solu- tion to the growing problems of adequate medical care for everyone, One of the problems which is changing medical service for the out-of-city c mmuni- ties is the fact that there are fewer and fewer general prac- titioners among the medical fraternity. More and more men are becoming specialists, removing themselves from the field of ‘family medicine.’. Following a question and answer period, a committee of six people was formed to con- tinue a study of the situation and to cooperate with the Eli- zabethtown committee which Irwin heads. - Named were: Ricedorf, Nau- man, Mrs. Carl R. Hallgren, Mrs. Warren Foley, Dr. David Schlosser, Dr. Newton Kendig Ben Staley and Alvin Bigler. % Part of Wagon (From page 1) “small Conestoga type.” It was a farm wagon made over the Conestoga design, she ad- ded. Although it does not have all the iron work the larger wagon would have had, it does have a “beautiful shape” and is equipped with a tool box. The two end gates slope to give it a special kind of at- tractiveness. Mrs. Reigle said that the museum has extra running gears which will fit the bed PAGE FIVE and thus the Mount Joy addi- tion will become valuable. As the displays multiply at Lan- dis Valley, there is need for wagons to become part of the general farm scene, This is not the first Mt, Joy property to find its way to Landis Valley, But—(hat’s an- other story. / Breneman told the Bulletin Monday that he was happy to give the wagon box to the museum. If it had no value to Landis Valley, it would have become part of the rubble of the barn, which is now being razed, Breneman said. ® Clyde Wivell (From page 1) bottom side up. It was of the “three wheel” type. Wivell, who owned and op- erated Donegal Creek Farms, northeast of Marietta, was president of the East Donegal Twp. Board of Supervisors. He was seeking reelection on ~ the Republican ticket for an- other term of office in the May 18 primary. He was very active in many phases of community life. In 1968 he was named a member of the Lancaster Co. Crime Commission, He was president of the Lancaster Co. Farmers Association, the mar- keting board of Agway, Inc. and was an active member of the Mount Joy Farmers coop- erative assn. He was a member of Trini- ty Lutheran church, Mt. Joy, where he was a Sunday School teacher. Born in Hettrick, Va., a son of the late Joseph and Elsie Althouse Wivell, he was a res- ident of Lancaster County for over 50 years. Besides his widow, Helen Martin Wivell, he is survived by five children: Virginia, wife of Donald Ranck, now living in South America; Lilli Ann, wife of Galen Kopp, of Camp Hill; and Joseph, Thom- as and Pamela Wivell, all at home and his foster parents, Albert and Lillian. Habecker, Lehman Nursing Heme, at Rheems. Others surviving are these brothers and sisters, Eva, wife of Paul Stief, Leola; Mrs. Thelma Bowman, Mount Joy; Gladys, wife of Ralph Barry, and Mrs. Erla Harsh, both of Lancaster; Mildred, wife of Norman Mellinger, of Blue Ball; Claude Wivell, Au- gusta, Maine; and Clair Wiv- ell, Paradise. Dr. Price Collins Talks to Rotary D-. Price Collins, adminis- trat r of Cornwall Manor, a Me hodist home for the aged, wa; the speaker Tuesday no-n at the weekly luncheon me.2ting of the Mount Joy Ro- tary club, held at Hostetters. He talked about some of the factors involved in grow- ing old, physical and mental, and told how his organization ministers to the people at Cornwall. As a piece of advice, he said that people should start to adjust themselves in their early 40’s to the ultimate and recommended that an individ- ual should develop interest in some kind of hobby or hob- bies. He threw cold water on the idea that “You can’t teach zn old dog new tricks.” Inves- tigators have found, he said, that the mind can continue to learn far past the time most people stop attempting to learn and expand their minds. The program was arranged by the Rev. Woodrow Kern and the speaker was introduc- ed by R. F. Hallgren, vice- president and program chair- man. BREAKFAST The Mount Joy Community Men’s Breakfast will be held Sunday, April 18, at 7 am. at Glossbrenner United Method- ist church. John Weidman is in charge of reservations, which must be made by April 13. ag ew Ee way SE ee a
