By Max Smith THERE IS considerable val- ue in keeping the ground cov- eded during winter months with some growing crop; this is called a cover crop and will help protect the soil againz{ both wind and water erosion. In many cases the winter grain gives this protec- tion as well as produce a ever, on some fields that are eved, on some fields that are not seeded down to a cover crop now and to go back into corn next spring, it might be good practice to plant a cover crop such as winter rye, or one of the grasses such as rye- grass or bromegrass. Many of our soils are low in organ- ic matter and this green cover crop when plowed down or worked into soil next spring will help add organic matter, This practice is just as good for the home gardener as it is for the commercial farmer. Don’t allow your soil to be open and bare over the win- ter months. I'M AMAZED at the growing supply of funds both from state and federal sources in- tending to assist the flood viec- tims of last summer; also, there are many sources of funds available for farmers who suffered from not only the flood, but from the weath- er conditions this past grow- ing season, I'm mentioning this subject at this time to re- mind farmers that they will have to make their needs known in order to secure any of this financial help. If dam- age has been done, or a hard- ship exists, farmers shouldn’t hesitate to make their request for this assistance, It appears at this time that government feed grain will be available for farmers in Lancaster County that do not have suf- ficient supply to last until next June; this is for breeding ani- mals only and the procedure is to contact the local Agricul- tural Stabilization and Con- servation Office in the Farm and Home Center. The lower price of these grains should be helpful. Due to the mild winter of 1971-72, many of the orna- mental insects were not killed and as a result, were quite destructive this past summer. At this time I'm referring to the Spruce-gall Aphid which is showing a very heavy in- festation on all types of spruce trees; the new terminal growth of this past spring has been attacked and will thick- en curl into ‘a half-circle, and turn into a pinkish-gray color. Many of the spruce trees show these curled branches at this time. On smaller trees, the enlarged part can be pulled off at this time and burned. On larger trees, we suggest that the tree be thoroughly sprayed between Sept. 15 and Oct. 15 with either Sevin or Diazinon; also, next April or eraly May the treatment should be repeated. If allowed to go uncontrolled these aph- ids will increase on the entire tree and cause stunting or misshaped trees. Both a fall and a spring application should reduce the problem, GROWERS of sudan grass or one of the sudan-sorghum hy- brids are reminded of the danger of these crops after a killing frost. We have consid- erable acreage of these forage crops in this part of the state. When hit by a killing frost there is danger of prussic acid poisoning if the frosted plant is consumed in a fresh condi- tion; therefore, the livestock must be kept out of the area fortat least a week following the frost, (until the plant be- comes dry and brown), or the frosted plant may be made in- to silage; after allowing ‘the World Communion Sunday at St. Marks’ Worldwide Communion Ser- vice will be observed three times at St. Mark’s United Methodist church on Sunday, Oct. 1. At the morning Wor- ship hour, the pastor will preach on the theme “The Scope of the Kingdom.” There will be special music by the Chancel Choir appropriate for the observance. At 4:00 p.m. a brief, informal Communion is offered to shut-ins and shift workers. In the evening at 7 p.m. Communion Vespers will feature a sermonette by the pastor entitled, “The Supper of the Kingdom.” The congregation will re- ceive a special offering at all these services for the Fellow- ship of Suffering and Service of United Methodist Church. All members of the church are urged to commune in re- sponse to the invitation of Christ. Non-members are al- ways welcome. PRIORITY A Su master was ferrying a scholar across a stretch of rough water when he expres- sed himself in a way that was ungrammatical. “Have you never studied grammar?” ask- the scholar. “No” replied the masier. “Then,” said the scholar, “you have wasted half your life.” A few minutes later the Su master asked the scholar if he had ever learn- ed to swim, and the scholar said he hadn't. “Then you have wasted all your life,” said the master. “We are sink- ing.” There are times when we should give priority to pursuits that can be put to practical use! frosted forage to ferment at least 30 days in the silo, it will be safe to feed, The sorg- hum hybrids are liable to be more dangerous and contain more prussic acid after frost than sudan grass. Also, new growth from the roots after a killing frost may also be toxic. Special management of these crops afted a killing frost is strongly recommended. FLORIN BRETHREN TO OBSERVE WORLDWIDE COMMUNION In conjuncton with World- wide Communion on Sunday, Oct. 1, the Florin Church of the Brethren, will have a full day’s activities, including the Church hour at ‘9 am. and the Morning Worship at 10 a. m. At the Morning Worship, the message will be on the theme, “What It Means to be a Christian, 4: Remember Christ,” Immedotely after the morn- ing services there will be a family meal in the Fellowship Hall for all, While no program is planned, the special guest will be Dr. Robert Neff, Beth- any Theology Seminary, Chi- cago. Cr ul A special afternoon service will be held in the sanctuary following the meal. Dr. Rob- ert Neff, professor of Biblical studies at the seminary, will bring a special message of self-examination. The service will be brief and to the point, closing before 2 p.m. The complete Love Feast & Communion will be observed in the evening, beginning at 6:10 a. m. in the sanctuary. Baby sitters are being provid- ed for small children. Every physically abled member is expected at the communion and all who love the Lord and will participate in this unique service are welcome.

In the form of a letter, read at Thursday night's School Board meeting (Sept. 21) the mes- sage is as follows: Dear Board Members, Longenecker Road Mount Joy R1, Pa. 17552 12 September, 1972 I had the privilege of being asked to serve as nurse for several days with the Donegal High School Band Camp. I found this experience quite rewarding. Especially did it reinforce my feeling about the majority of our youth today. I was very impressed with the fine behavior of the group. Never once during my stay did I ex- perience ill-mannered behavior. I feel this behavior of the group deserves com- mendation. Too often in our present time, we point up the failures of our young people and neglect to express our admiration when it is de- served. I must also express my appreciation for Mr. Leib. As a parent and taxpaying citizen, I am grateful for the dedication he portrayed as he worked tirelessly with the group. We, as a school district, are very fortunate to have such a teacher who is obviously devoted to his profession. Sincerely, Patricia B. Eichler (Mrs. Franklin R. Eichler) ED ESHLEMAN 'S " WASHINGTON REPORT A Presidential statement on seeking or forcing internation- world drug traffic has been needed, and now President Nixon has made it clear that we will not hesitate to take action against countries whose leaders protect the narcotics trade. For several months there have been stories circulating in Washington about tons of illegal drugs being shipped to the United States from South- east Asia — principally from Thailand and Laos. According to the President, nations in Asia or anywhere else in the world who continue to con- done such traffic by inaction will face a cut-off of all Am- erican assistance. There is no doubt that this Is a get tough policy, and a much needed one. We have gone the diplomatic route with some success. You may rem- ember that one of the largest suppliers of the opium used in production of heroin in the past was Turkey who a year or so ago agreed to stop their flow of opium into ilicit drug markets, That agreement has seemed to effectively strangle the narcotics traffic from that part of the world. But new drug sources were found where diplomatic efforts have evidently not succeeded, so now it is time to take steps that will force action against drug traffickers in their new bases of operation. We still are willing to seek cooperation from other coun- tries in stopping the drug flow President Nixon has instruct- ed our State Department to work in the United Nations for some international restric- tions on narcotics, But the new tougher stance serves as a warning that if the cooper- ation road continues to be deadlocked, we are going to protect ourselves from foreign dope peddlers. The new policy is in addi- tion to our previous progrom of closer sudveillance at our borders for illegal importation of dangerous drugs and the crackdown on pushers and dealers here at home. That program has resulted in rec- ord amounts of narcotics be- ing found and confiscated and the arrest of record numbers of pushers. +. But the. best place to stop traffic is’ at its source and not when it's oné step a- way from a user. The sources can be shut down only thru "ET Ae vee AE al support of our effort to deal with the drug problem. I agree with the President that combating drug abuse is one of our most urgent na- tional priorities. At every lev- el of the drug trade we must wage the fight with effective and forceful programs, We must educate people not to use drugs in the first place; help the user ‘kick’ his hab- it;; run the pusher off the street and into a jail cell; prosecute and imprison the or- ganized crime syndicates that supply the pushers; and leave the international drug traffic- kers no safe place from which to operate.
