PenuIizing Success

With tax system such as the in
come tax of the federal and state gov
ernments, one would think these govern
ments would welcome private citizens
with enough nerve to risk their savings
in enterprises that if profitable immedi-
ately become subject to punitive tax
for being successful.
But such is not the case, particularly
with the federal government which is
constantly extending its competition
with taxpaying citizens and industry on
which it depends for its revenue-for
example, its unnecessary use of tax re-
venue to promote and build tax-exempt
power systems, misnamed public power
plants.
Such plants are not nearly so public
ly-owned as taxpaying investor-owned
private enterprises i'll which millions of

These taxes are used to help pay for

fence TALK

THE AMERICAN DREAM for
many years was to buy small
farm and settle down to raising
a few chickens. The idea has not
entirely died, but 1t is badly
bent, because of the changes In
modern farming.
No longer can the small farm
provide an adequate living. And
to make a profit with chickens
requires at least 5000 layers
or about Is, 900 broilers.
But folks with special skills
can have the pleasure of small
farm while still working In town.
Such a family is Joseph and
Doris Brinster, who live at Nc
CauleyS Pond near Harrington.
They came from northern New
Jersey about three years ago
after their farm was bought for
a public park. It was the last
open land In the area. They had
operated large goat dairy plant
for Is years, and wholesaIed
their product to other COW dair-
les. About $50 Of goat milk
demand Is for infants and pa
tients suffering from allergies
to cows milk. Goat milk is
naturally homogenized, which
means the fat globules are al
most as small as cows milk
after 1t has been homogenized.
Joe now works part-time as
a bookkeeper for the Kent County
Soil Conservation District. The
family still keeps a few goats as
breeding stock. Just recently,
they consigned registered Tog-
genberg to the National Spotlight
Sale at Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Only "a animals are accepted for
this top sale each year.
A final note. Joe says he might
have been tempted to start a
large goat herd again. He feels

sanitary conditions commands a

scale farmers and young far
mers starting out have a diff
cult time.
THE 'ROUND CIRCLE Cow
Bellies of Circle, Montana, have
a unique idea for better UNDER
standing among members Of the
beef industry. They invite cattle
men travelling through Eastern
Montana to stop at the County
Agents office in Circle. County
Agent Phil Olmstead will then
give the traveller and his fam
lily directions for reaching a
nearby ranch where they can
see at first-hand ranching In
prairie country.
The host rancher or his wife
will show each guest around the
ranch while work continues as
usual. They will answer all
questions to the best of their
ability. So anyone with an hour
or a day to spare might stop at
Circle, Montana, and look up
County Agent Phil Olmstead for
a look at prairie ranching. And
remember, the coffee pot is al
ways on in Eastern Montana,
we're told by Lucille Jenst n,
chairman of the CowB elles
Group.
We've suggested several times
that the idea is useful for Kent
county folks. We can provide
a little more variety, II 1t is

Golden West. We have some beef

Graders Help
Mike PIaugher

Five years ago Mrs. Frank
Clendaniel's first grade boys and
girls read about another little
first grader, Mike Plaugher,
from Alexandria, Va. who wanted
Santa Claus to bring him a left
hand. Mike was born without a
left hand and his family could
not financially face the situation
alone, so a fund was set up and
newspapers made the appeal.
Mrs. Clendaniel's children de-
cided they wanted to help little
Mike, SO they each drew their
left hand, colored it and placed
a penny at the tip of each finger.
The idea grew and many other
Milford persons took part in

ford postman came to the school
and picked up the bag of cleft
hands" to be sent to Mike.
After five years Mrs. Glen
daniel and many of the children
and their parents we're ANXIOUS
to know how Mike was making
out with his "hook." The follow
ing letter from his mother COM
pletes the heartwarming story
and shows how much people
everywhere share in the lives of
another.
"Dear Mrs. Clendaniel,
boys and girls,
Indeed we do remember the
bag of hands that came from the
children. Mike is doing just fine
with his hook. He can tie his
shoes, shoot a bow and arrow,
ride a two wheel bike and he is
now learning to write with his
hook. He can do anything he sets
his mind to do. When he first
got the hook he was in the hos
pital for ten days learning to
use 1t. He also has had two
operations on his right hand.
When he was born he had what
is called bands around his hand.
AS he grew bigger the bands
tightened, and had to be cut.
Mike and his sister go twice a
week on their donut route. He
loves to play cowboys and plays
a lot of baseball and football.
Mike is now in the fifth grade,
with his favorite subject being
arithmetic. Mike loves to help
around the house. He likes to
iron and cook. He loves little
children and helps me with his
little sister, who will be two
years old in January. To me
Mike is an all around boy, rough
one minute and gentle the next.
Mike said to tell everyone hello
up there at the Milford school.
Sincerely,

New Bulletin
For Duirymen

A new University of Delaware
publication designed to help
dairymen do a better feeding job
has just been released. The
pamphlet, entitled "F ding
Dairy Cows" provides feeding
standards for maximum milk
production.
w. R. HesSeltine, extension
dairyman at the University, says
thumb rules have guided dairy
men in their feeding efforts for
years. Recent feeding research,
however, has made it possible
to develop more scientific
methods.
New feeding standards de-
veloped at the University of Md.
consider the milk-grain price
ratio, the quality Of forage be-
ing fed, and the fact that cows
eat less hay when they receive
more grain.
This new publication includes
charts based on the Maryland
standards and explains how to
use them. Also included are
steps to "lead feeding" a sys-
TEN for encouraging maximum
grain consumption, and a plan
for getting the most milk from
the smallest number of cows.
Copies of the publication are
available from the Mailing Room,
Agricultural Hall, University Of
Delaware, Newark, Delaware. In
dividual copies will be mailed
free.

All I could think of this past
week as I met people was sus-
picious thoughts. "Everyone else
in the world is crazy except me
and thee, and I have my doubts
about thee" This doubt pertain
ing to my fellow man began with

were all in the family room at

rang. Lynne, at that time still i'll
with mononeucleosiS, was in bed
and she had the extension in her
room. She answered the phone
and the receiver on the other
end Of the line clicked. Every
one has this happen to them SO
we dismissed it. The following
evening at an earlier hour the
same thing happened.
If the caller had giggled, or
asked me to take Prince Albert
out of the can on the drug store
shelf, l would have enjoyed the
joke with them, but as the calls
persisted day after day and with
no pattern we all became quite
jittery. The "clincher" was the
day l went to someone else's
home, Inadvertently answered the
phone and the voice on the other
end reverted back with obscene
language. How could this person
know where I was from minute
to minute. Day after day and
night after night the calls con-
tinued.
