the spring of 1965 your gas company asks your assistance the severe winter weather experienced this past year has created a deeper frost level than normal when the frost comes out as milder temperatures prevail ground movement will be greater than in other years the works departments of many municipalities have warned of the damage that has already occurred to streets and paving and that more damage will take place repairs to broken roads water mains etc cost thousands of dollars each year and the estimates this year are greater than ever the many miles of gas mains buried in the ground as well as sewer networks hydro conduits and telephone cables have been installed and maintained for years in accordance with the best known engineering and operating practices all of these facilities will be subjected to pressures and movement as the ground begins to thaw where our new gas mains and services have been installed refilled trenches will likely settle any resulting damage to lawns walks roads and driveways will be adjusted as quickly as weather permits under these abnormal conditions the possibility of natural gas leakage is increased the gas company therefore requests

informed by his psychiatrist that he could consider himself completely cu red of his delusion that he was napoleon wonderful cried the grateful patient wheres the telephone i must call jos- cphoine and tell her the good news a a wall agricultural representative york county i hear a lot of talk these days on how this winters weather will affect crops in 1965 at this stage any prediction is just a guess hut its well worth some thought i think its quite likely that wheat and legumes in hay and pasture fields will have been adversely affected absence of snow cover combined with tem peratures changing quickly from one extreme to another are not good for crops that j have to live over winter of course a great deal depends on what happens from now on damage is more likely to occur in early spring than in the dead of winter whats the use of worrying about it now well unlike the weather itself there are some things that can lie done to help crops that have had a rough winter timing on these is im portant steps can be taken in april that wouldnt help much in may or june extra fertilizer this spring is tite main way to boost stands of wheat or hay that have suffer ed winter damage nitrogen wut on early will help to get plants off to a good start and will speed up growth while the ground is still cold but while there is a good supply of moist ure chances are good that ammo nium nitrate at sf to 100 lbs per acre on wheat will pay good returns this year if its put on early enough getting it on at the right time is difficult there may iv only two or three days when there is a frozen crust solid enough to carry a tractor and spreader and everything has to be ready when one of these days comes along to get the job done quickly this is the right time to seed down on wheat too seeding down on wheat is poor business anyway but its chances are bet- ter if it done ti the- light iinu- hay and pastures could re spond well to a good shot of nitrogen this spring too hay supplies ate low generally and the risk of legume winter kill is high at oac nitrogen has in creased hay yields by as much as 1h per cent on grass stands ammonium nitrate at up to 200 lbs per acre will make a real difference on a field where al falfa is gone or badly thinn out this can bo put on early in the spsing just as growth is starting the york county beef im provement association is spon soring a
