Lots of times thiB happens to us. Somebody once said predjudice is a wonderful time saver. It saves you the time of collecting the facta together before making up your mind about something. "* -"ttave you been carried away by today's emphasis on fertilisers Such emphasis without regard for organic matter and proper rotations will help toward a dollar increase to make a rich bank account but not a rich farm. It's like the fellow who wasted his health getting rich. Then he had to spend his riches getting his health back. . Heard an excellent suggestion the other day. A man very experienced in farm leasing arrangements was talking about renting the .farm. He suggested that the lease should take considerable time to complete, with each party taking a completed copy home for a week to study and sleep on. Then if there was no circumstances that looked undesirable, the parties and their families L ^iould gather for the signing ceremony, which should be followed by a family dinner--a pleasant occasion that all would look upon with fond memories. This is particularly true where father is renting to a son or son-in-law where there are other children in the family. All should be present. He said a successful lease depended on the personalities of those involved, and whether there ' fc "enough income for all involved. It is a legal Instrument that iqust be produced in case one of the signers dies. We get so quick old and so late smart. If you want to see 90, dont look for it on the speedometer. Our government spends $15 million a day more than it takes in, says Henry J. Taylor. He says it takes all the income of every citiftn in the U. 8. west of the Mississippi river to pay the cost of the government. Did you read "Ol* Long Qreen" in this month's I. A. A. Record. It seems his neighbor thinks the Farm Bureau is against soil con- ••rTation' beoaus* it is against ACP payment*. 01' Long Green asks him what he would think of a neighbor's chances of surviving would be if he owed three and one: half times his yearly income and was still buying on credit everything he could get his hands on and giving it away to relatives Just to keep in good favor with them. A local farmer gave * good example of government help to the individual. Here it is: Say, for instance, you and I are walking down the road and we meet a fellow who says he needs financial help. I say quick like-- "Well, you come to the right fellows" so I say to my buddy, "I'm the tax collector; you pay me a dollar and a half and! as a citizen I'll put in a dollar and a half for this fellow." Then I hand the poor guy a dollar an<| I'll put two in my pocket for "administration costs." Taken from Dean H. P. Rusk's Farm and Home Week speech. "Incidentally, it tnay surprise you to know that the appropriations for the Agricultural Conservation Program under P. M. A. are more than twice as much as it spent for agricultural research by the U. S. D. A. and all state experiment stations combined. Do you ask why Or do you know? Because the number of people working on research are very few and their votes don't add up very fast They made the farmers' million* whAre they get dollars through the A.C.P. 2-4-D, hybrid corn, D-D-T, modern farm machinery, bangs vaccine, soil testing, D.

From all indications, no. In terms of their health, present and future, we are letting them down. It is a recognized fact that many of the medical and dental conditions discovered in our youngsters by school health examinations are not followed up for treatment. Why? ... . Why is it that in 6ne state, for instance, out of 37,000 children who were found to have something wrong with their eyes, less than 8,000 had been taken by their parents to the family doctor by the time of the next school medical examination. This is not even 22 per cent. Why. isn't the "follow- «P" by parents greater, far greater? : Why Is it that a study of four other communities found that, out of 36a school children who needed health corrections, only 166 had been taken to the doctor for treatment? Why, indeed! Still another instance--Why is it that a study of selective servicemen's school health records in one community indicated that certain uncorrected defects led to later disqualification for military service? Something's wrong somewhere. Many experts believe it is with us that the fault lies--with us, the proud parents of a# many as 25,- 000,000 school age children. And, as the figures show, they are absolutely right. They say that we Women Marines In 1918, 305 women were enrolled in the Marine Corps tor clerical duties.

ILL. parents fail to follow up the recommendations by school health authorities to take our children to the family doctor or dentist to correct the defects pointed up by school medical examinations. This is serious. We're fooling around with our kids' lives. Health defects in our youngsters can have permanent harmful effects later if they're not corrected or treated promptly. The figures previously mentioned illustrate this fact convincingly from the standpoint of our children's wellbeing and our national security. It is such an important stake we have in the health of our children that Health Information Foundation, of New York City, has granted funds to Pennsylvania State college to undertake a study in t w e n t y-two Pennsylvania schools to develop iand test techniques aimed at stimulating parents to have health defects in their children corrected. Results of this study promise to be of considerable help to citizens throughout the country to Improve their community health standards. We must do right by our kids-- now. Even "tomorrow" isn't soon enough.
