Be Neat As A Skunk

Controlling pollution of air and water is a top priority project in both industry and government. It is a multibillion dollar undertaking affecting everyone, and all of us will have to help pay for it. On the success of pollution control rests the liveability of our world. But there is another kind of pollution not so well publicized for which the private individual alone is responsible, namely, highway, street, park and recreation area pollution. The individual is solely to blame for this' and has full control of it. Refuse from humans litters all public places. Individuals scatter everything from chewing gum and candy wrappers, cigar-

Conservation Means Use

You hear a lot about conservation these days, and yet conservation is a greatly misunderstood term. Most people think of conservation as preserving the status quo. Their idea of conservation is to refrain from utilizing—at least in many instances — resources that were put on earth for man’s use. Such is the case with forests. Trees are an important source of countless wood products that are essential to daily living. True conservation insofar as trees are concerned recognizes the necessity of using as well as conserving. The two are not incompatible. A large timber company has provided material describing, with pictures, how it operates its private, taxpaying forest lands. One picture shows a cut-over area in 1940, at the time of reseeding. Another picture shows the same area in 1945. A thick stand of young trees had alreadycovered the hillsides. Access roads have been built for radio patrol cars and mobile fire equipment; reservoir ponds and water

FARM By DON FRANTZ County Extension Agent A MEMORANDUM has gone out to all county agents and I presume to vocational agriculture teachers that affect the relationships that some vocational agriculture departments and the 4-H program. It comes from the state department of public instruction, Richard Wells, superintendent. It goes like this. The year 1968 is the time for a national evaluation of vocational education. In onier that the vocational agriculture education program in Indiana meet its objective of training and retraining students for occupations in agriculture sound communi- j ty relationships must exist. Several joint state meetings of representatives of the cooperative extension service and vocational agriculture education has been held to consider desirable 4-H and vo-ag relationships. In the past, some school corporations have required vo-ag instructors to serve as local 4-H Hub leaders. This practice is contrary to existing regulations. The committee has endeavored to reach a solution to this problem which will be satisfactory to all concerned. Recommendations were considered

which will not only bring about an understanding of resposibilities, but also encourage and strengthen both the 4-H and vo-ag programs. Following are the recommendations of this joint committee to school corporation and their communities: 1. Effective July 1. 1967. vo-ag instructors should not serve as 4-H dub leaders. 1 The vo-ag teachers’ contract should not indicate 4-H responsibility. 3. The vo-ag instructor should continue any commitment made for 4-H responsibility for the 1966-67 school year. 4. The vo-ag instructor may sene as a consultant to the county 4-H program. While this arrangement will require changes in some situations, it can also act to release enrollment limitations to both the 4-H club and the agriculture programs held in the local school communities.

ette butts, napkins, sacks, newspapers and nose tissue to beer bottles, cans, boxes of garbage and abandoned automobiles on streets, highways, public beaches, parks and recreation areas—not to mention the countryside in general. The cities and states would save millions of dollars in taxes every year now spent for cleanup if each of us took our own trash home to our garbage can, a garbage dump, or put it in public containers along streets and highways. Think it over the next time you start to throw your dirt in public places. Even wild animals do not befoul their habitat as humans do. Try to be as neat as a skunk, and the public places you use will again be attractive.

tanks have been installed. By 1955, the evidence of previous logging is submerged in a fine stand of second-growth timber. In one picture, a helicopter is shown spraving to control destructive insects and diseases Still another picture shows how the forest will look at age 55, in the year 1995. when part of the new forest will be harvested. The final picture shows the cycle starting all over again, with a helicopter reseeding project. Thus, in a period of some 55 years, the cycle of the tree farm takes place. Meanwhile, the forest grows and everyone benefits. Boy Scouts hike through its trails. Fishermen cast in its streams and lakes. Campers relax under its cover. Animals thrive in its environment. Tourists marvel at its beauty. And down in the valley and across the land, there are thousands of homes that its products have made possible. This is the kind of conservation that builds instead of freezing them into immobility and stagnation.

Youngsters Can't Work On Farms During School Hours

Young people can work on farms after school, on week ends, and during vacations, but when school’s in, work's out —for youths under 16, that is. That’s a reminder directed at farmers and growlers, parents, and youths, from Earl F. Halverson of the U. S. Department of Labor, Chicago. Regional director Halver.son of the department’s wage and hour and public contracts divisions, said that the fair labor standards act prohibits youths under 16 from working during school hours in a district where school is in session. The law applies to both local and migrant youths and to all farmers whose crops go directly or indirectly into interstate commerce — which means, of course, most farmers. It doesn’t apply to youths working for their parents on their farms. Even though it’s legal for youths over 16 to do farm work during

school hours, Halverson urged all youths to stay in school and graduate. “A youth who doesn’t finish school is selling himself and his eventual family short,” he said. “For in today’s economy, unskilled jobs are fast disappearing and are, for the most part, unrewarding. The young person who sticks it out and graduates will reap much larger earnings over his lifetime than the youth who doesn’t,” he emphasized. Halverson also reminded farmers that the minimum wage provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act may apply to some of them for the first time this year. Growers who use a lot of labor probably will have to pay at least $1 an hour this year, he pointed out. The nearest wage and hour office will be happy to answer any questions, he said.
