Ready-made family histories

jßy DORIS McMAMS CAMDEN I Guest Feature Writer !. Almost everyone, not just genealogists, has been targeted to receive information about a ready-made family history bearing your name. Many people are interested , enough to spend several dollars to learn about their ancestry — the easy way. There is no easy way, and if you have received a letter or a postcard announcing that your family history can be purchased for about S3O, beware and read it again. Actually, it doesn’t promise much. We read into it what we hope it says. What you do receive is a nicelybound book containing some very vague, general information that could apply to almost any family, plus outdated lists of names and addressesaof people bearing your name, including many deceased persons and wrong addresses. I have in front of me warnings from many genealogical publications about companies that are rip-offs or do not sent anything at all. They are: American Genealogies, Inc., of Scranton, Pa.; Halbert’s, Inc., of Bath, Ohio, by Sharon Taylor; Beatrice

Bayley, Inc., of Lansdale, Pa.; and a warning to be careful about the William and the Conquerer Society of Connecticut. Some even offer your family history, with your name misspelled. On July 26,1985, Judgeltichard W. Bardwell of the Dade County Circuit Court (Wisconsin), found Beatrice Bayley, Inc., “guilty of untrue, deceptive and misleading solicitation" in connection with the sale of its “family heritage books," and ordered a fine and set out guidelines. If this company has not surfaced under another name by now, watch for it to do so. Manhattan Tracers has closed its post office box, with no forwarding address. Even if you could buy your family history ready-made for S3O, it wouldn't be as much fun as searching for each generation yourself. 197.

Preventing soil loss important in county

| By DEBORAH E. KNEPP | Soil Conservatranist As we read the statistics on soil loss in our county, it is obvious that we are losing quite a bit of soil. The average soil loss is 8.5 tons per acre per year. But this is just an average. Some rolling acres in the county are losing anywhere from 14 to 45 tons per acre per year. With the intensive fanning that is done in this day and age, the soil loss figures will keep climbing. We need to find some economically feasible way of producing our crops without ruining or even losing our soil. One of the first alternatives to a less intensive farming system is a less intensive cropping rotation. Adding a year of wheat or a

Drivers escape injury

Four drivers escaped injury in three different accidents this week, with no arrests being reported in any of the incidents, according to Syracuse Police.

couple of years of alfalfa in addition to the row crops will reduce our soil losses. In years gone by, small grains were a common part of most farming rotations. Since they have been taken out, soil loss has increased. A second alternative to a less intensive farming system is a less intensive tillage system. Chisel-till, ridge-till and no-till are systems that will reduce erosion, reduce labor and fuel while maintaining or improving production. These minimum tillage systems not only keep the soil in place, they also help conserve soil moisture for those summer months when water is scarce. A third alternative to a less intensive farming system is a land use change. Let’s face it — there are some field that just shouldn’t

Continued BZA petition denied

Paul LeCount. who built a house on the east side of Fourth Street south of Epworth Forest Road in Tippecanoe Township, was denied a variance by the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals on Monday to have the house remain there. Board members John Lehman. Bob Sittier and Arden Warner voted to deny the petition to approve the house and attached garage being 13 inches from the south property line and 3 feet 4 inches from the north property line They said that LeCount had to know of the foot minimum setback ordinance before the house was built because he got a permit to build in 1985. Jan Legarda. who owns the adjoining property remonstrated against LeCount. saying. His house is just too big for the lot and his water now drains on my property.” LeCount said his contractor had built the step which infringes within 13 inches of the property line in his absence. This was refuted by Legarda. who said the contractor had told her that LeCount was there when the step was placed and it was done under his direction. On the advice of her realtor. Legarda offered to sell a five foot strip of ground to LeCount to allow him to be legal for $5,000 and he has countered with ap offer of SIOO.

be row cropped. In fields where stands and yields are poor, is it worth putting a row crop there? Or would it be better to put it into a permanent cover, whether alfalfa or a meadow? If just a section of the field is poor for crops, why not consider a critical area seeding? Critical area seedings can include planting trees, shrubs, vines, grasses or legumes on these highly credible areas. These alternatives will stabilize the soil, reduce sediment and run off damage to downstream areas, and improve wildlife habitat. If wind erosiorys a problem on your soil type, take a look around your field. Are any trees or windbreaks present on the west or north side of the field? Most winds in this county come out of

the north or west. These winds can sandblast young plants, killing them before they are barely out of the ground. How many fanners must replant a portion of the crop after these winds come through? Planting a windbreak can reduce your wind erosion losses. A windbreak will protect 10 times its height. For example: a 20-foot tree will protect a distance of 200 feet out into a field. If you are having erosion problems, whether water or wind, give a thought to these different alternatives. One may fit your situation.
