The program chairman wound
up lavish introduction of Mr..

Parents are Blamed Unduly for

amount of heredity or environ.
ment affects them one way or the
other"
According to this woman she
gives credit to the child of learn
ing worldly actions before the child
has been born. A child comes into
the world knowing little more
than small kitten, but has the
ability to learn from their enironv-
ment, and association with people
A child also has the ability to
recognize what he can do in the
environment and what people will
allow certain acts. The parents
with child that is unusually in
telligent must be extremely care
full as the child will naturally be
quick and full of mischief.
Other environment factors by
Ottawa County news. (Port Clinton, Ohio) 1931-1956, 1954-05-07

which a child can be affected is
what other parents allow their
children to do. The only way to
prevent this factor from entering
the child's life is to completely
isolate the child until he is 80.
Do not blame the child alone or
the parents, but consider with
what associations the child or ado
lescent has been in contact. It is
a changing world and it is usually
easier to blame one certain object
or person for wrongs that are
done. Since teenagers have been
able to acquire an automobile their
contacts are wilder and more ex-
tensive. Their bad behavior may
lie in an unimportant happening
but in their eyes it is important.
The readers need not take but just
simple logic that this is advise,
that is coming to the rescue of the
child. This article is meant to en-
phasize that child's behavior is
not hereditory but learned from
surroundings and all his associa-
tions.
Our office has received several
releases concerning spittlebug and
alfalfa aphids control. They should
be sprayed Immediately. Recon-
mended materials for use in con-
troll of spittlebugs include one
quart BHC (benzene hexachloride)
per acre, one quart tOxaphene, or
in those cases where the farmer
desires to pasture soon, quarts of
methoXychlor. We wish to empha-
size that all growers should inspect
their fields prior to spraying and
if infestation is present, spray ma
terials should be used at the rate
of 2 quarts BHC per acre. BHC
is the only material recommended
this year for alfalfa control.
