Tallgrass Prairie Wranglers Youth Day Camps at the Preserve Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is pleased to announce the summer youth camps for kids ages seven through twelve on Wednesdays from June 14 – 28, 2017 and July 5 -12, 2017. For some summer fun, reserve your child in the Tallgrass Prairie Wranglers Youth Day Camps. The day camp is free, but reservations are required to assure adequate supplies; space is limited to fifteen participants each day. Program runs five consecutive Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. with a different thematic program each day. Call the rangers at 620-273-8494 (then hit 0) to make your free reservation. The program is filled with fun and educa- tional activities ranging from tallgrass prairie adventures, to dressing up in appropriate 1880s historic clothing and doing chores. Kids will learn about the natural and cultural resources of the tallgrass prairie, while also experiencing life on a ranch through typical activities. Ac- tivities include a hike along one of the many natural springs and seeps on the preserve, a bus ride through the bison pasture, fun educational prairie games, and typical ranch chores of doing laundry, cleaning barn stalls, dusting the historic home and more. Kids should wear clothing suit- able for getting dirty, closed toed shoes, and use insect repellent and sun screen. Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve invites you to discover the meaning of national parks, how your park inspires you – both in personal con- nections and memorable experiences. Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is located two miles north of Strong City on Kansas State Highway 177 (the Flint Hills National Scenic Byway) and is a unique public/private partnership between the National Park Service and The Nature Con- servancy.

Harvest Report, Day 1 This is Day 1 of the Kansas wheat harvest reports, brought to you by the Kansas Wheat Commission, Kansas Association of Wheat Growers and the Kansas Grain and Feed Association. Wheat harvest moved into the state of Kansas last week, with test cutting showing moisture levels were a bit high, but after a few days of hot, dry, windy weather, combines were in full force by the end of the week. Combines could be seen rolling across fields in south central and southeast Kansas all weekend. Scott VanAllen, a farmer from the Clearwater area who farms in Sumner County, reported that his harvest began on June 7 after test cuts on June 6 showed mois- ture levels of 16.2%. His harvest crew includes his son and daughter, as well as his 97-year-old father. “So far everything looks like it’s doing really well,” said VanAllen. “Yields aren’t terrific, but definitely above average. It’s a very comparable year to last year’s yields for us.” Initial quality tests are performing well with test weights from 62-63 pounds per bushel, although Va- nAllen has not heard updates on protein tests for his area. This year the Sumner County area had issues with leaf and stripe rust, diseases that can limit yields if preventative management isn’t instated. Stay tuned for more harvest reports from Kansas Wheat. To have reports emailed directly to your inbox, visit kansaswheat.org/harvest for our email list sign- up. Reports will be released Sunday through Thursday during harvest.

Some of my friends visited with me through the internet telling me that I have been too busy Hey presently I tend to agree Wersquove been doing dinners (not the more formal ones) for the spring concert series here at work Each Friday Saturday and Sunday therersquos been a different group performing in Echo Hollow Last night was ldquoLovinrsquo Spoonfulrdquo Wow that takes us way back Wersquove taught an early class and then entertained a porchful of guests at 645pm for dinner and a show This past weekend wrapped it all up I think my family will be glad to see me before 9pm at night Not to mention theyrsquove had to fend for themselves in the culinary depart-ment

I am very pleased to finally debut my recipe for scalloped

vegetables The guests at Silver Dollar City have just loved this new lsquotakersquo on vegies In the early develop-ment I was striving for a vegetable dish that would stay warm through second help-ings Sometimes it is very difficult to serve vegetables because they cool off too fast

Any mixture of vege-table can be combined to make this casserole Irsquove even suggested taking this down an oriental avenue Grab water chestnuts and bamboo shoots for starters For the top-per reach for chow mein noodles that are crumbled and sprin-kled over the top

One thing I like to discuss with readers is the first step sauteacuteing the vegetable If you didnrsquot include this step you would have vegetables releasing too much liquid in the dish The mush-rooms can come or go depending upon whom you are entertaining After the vegetables are sauteacuteed you simply pour them over the mushrooms This is enough to cook them slightly before being encompassed by the creamy sauce

My assistant Bonnie thinks the bacon sprinkled over the top makes this dish Irsquom good with that too

When I first wrote the recipe I put panko across one half for the topping and crumbled butter crackers on the other side For me the butter crackers won out Certainly feel free to change out the Parmesan cheese on the top to an alter-native cheese Swiss would certainly cut the amount of sodium being consumed

ldquoLIFE ISNrsquoT ABOUT FINDING YOURSELF LIFE IS ABOUT CRE-ATING YOURSELFrdquo

George Bernard Shaw

It seems that I have

to deal with the news of the death of a friend on way to frequent a ba-sis Very little shocks me as I watch the news anymore in fact it is more wearisome than shocking But I almost fell off my chair at the news of the death of my friend Patsy Terrell

Patsy was a long time acquaintance and a person that I consid-ered to be a friend She was bright and artic-ulate a great writer a very personable con-versationalist She was also a great cook and she shared that with so many people with her recipes and articles in publications around the state

Patsy created herself and what an interesting person she was In her latest incarnation she represented the

Hutchinson area in the State Legislature Not being there I can take by her writings that she was a bulldog in her beliefs while in Topeka and I am sure this will be shared as time goes on

Many of my friends are of the age that it is not a surprise when they pass Grief is natural and is a fact of life Early on most of my friends that were my age died too soon and I harbor a grudge against cancer as it has been a too frequent compan-ion in my life But the sudden without warning occurrence of someone so active young young at heart and someone who values many tradi-tions is a shock

Many close friends that have Patsy in common are in grief and disbelief It is a continuing griev-ing process anymore to wake up As one famous person said not long ago ldquoThe first thing I do is read the obituaries when I get up if I am not there I have breakfastrdquo May-be a comic point but a real one

It is a loss to the peo-ple she represented the people of the state fam-ily and many friends including myself that we will no longer be able to read hear or be touched by a truly good person The world is too short on people like Patsy Terrell We benefited by knowing her and are grieved by losing her

PRATT ndash Do you have what it takes to go handfishing You can find out June 15-Aug 15 during the Kansas handfishing season Other than a strong grip hand-fishing permit and a fishing license all you really need is nerves of steel because yoursquoll be reaching into dark crevices and undercut banks to feel around for a hiding flathead catfish which by the way might weigh more than a 10-year-old lit-

tle league shortstopHandfishing is

allowed only on the Arkansas River the Kansas River from itrsquos origin to the down-stream confluence with the Missouri River and all federal reser-voirs from 150 yards beyond the dam to the upstream end of feder-al property In addition to a fishing license unless exempt hand-fishers must also have a $2750 handfishing permit Handfishers may not use hooks

snorkeling or scuba gear or any man-made device except a string-er Man-made objects such as barrels or tubs may not be used to attract fish

Once a fish is felt a handfisher must try to work a hand in its mouth and grip the fishrsquos lower jaw to bring it to the surface which is just about as difficult as it sounds especially on big fish And then therersquos the mental aspect of handfishing ndash won-

dering what else may be lurking in the dark underwater recesses Thatrsquos where the nerves of steel come in handy

Only flathead catfish are allowed to be caught handfishing and the daily creel limit is five For more informa-tion about handfishing and other types of fishing consult the 2017 Kansas Fishing Regulations Summary available wherever licenses are sold and at wwwksoutdoorscom

There is no future in giving up

That was the mes-sage of strength courage and determi-nation presented to college rodeo cowboys and cowgirls at the banquet of the K-State Rodeo Club in Man-hattan

Amberley Snyder is a barrel racer who has fought her way back from tragedy inspiring all of America to ldquoGet Back on the Horserdquo

Telling her inspi-rational story while competing in rodeos across the United States Snyder let the challenges she faced refine her not define her

Snyder was voted the fan exemption contestant at the worldrsquos richest one day rodeo RFD-TVrsquos The American in Dallas

Competing with the best in the world Snyder received a standing ovation from 40000 spectators winning the hearts of America for turning tragedy into triumph

Snyder had major positive momentum in life after quali-fying for the 2009 National High School Rodeo Finals in pole bending winning the National Little Britch-es Rodeo Association all-around cowgirl title and being elected Utah FFA state pres-ident

Everything was go-ing great Snyder told K-State Rodeo Club members alumni and friends at the banquet

Those dreams were temporarily dashed on January 10 2010 Snyder was driving to the Den-ver Stock Show and Rodeo looked down at a map faded into the other lane overcor-rected and rolled her pickup at 75 miles-per-hour

Not wearing a seat belt Snyder was eject-ed and slammed into a fence post that broke her back Following five hours of emer-gency surgery the

doctors prognosis was Snyder would never regain use or feeling below her waist

During one of Snyderrsquos many physi-cal therapy sessions a therapist asked Snyder for three goals She answered Walk ride and rodeo

Remarkably only 18 months after the accident Snyder was back on her horse Setting many goals she discovered the ladder on her horse trailer provided a means for pulling her-self up on her horse

With determination Snyder again com-peted in college and professional rodeos Graduating in 2015 with a bachelors degree in agricul-ture education shersquos pursuing a masters in counseling

According to Sny-der the 2009 accident taught her one most important lesson and her overarching mes-sage ldquoAttitude is a little thing that makes a big differencerdquo

K-State Animal Sciences amp Industry (ASampI) Head Ken Odde is retiring from that position He was recognized during the banquet for his lead-ership role in taking K-State rodeo to a new level

Ken Odde has established a strong relationship between his department and the K-State Rodeo Club and Team said Clarke Jackman Baldwin City chair-man of the K-State Rodeo Advisory Council

Some monumen-tal steps in the rodeo programs recent advancement would not have been possible without Kens support and guidance Jack-man insisted

During Oddes leadership the de-partment worked with the club and advisory council to bring the rodeo team practice facilities and horse housing on-campus

Rodeo student ath-letes now keep their horses in stalls and runs adjacent to Burtis Arena just north of Kimball Avenue The team has regular prac-tices at the facility

Another of Oddes major contri-butions to the program was hiring K-States first-ever full-time ro-deo coach on the ASampI staff Casy Winn just completed his second school year as rodeo coach and equine instructor

I am proud of the job Coach Winn has done in this posi-tion said Odde who was named ASampI head in early 2007

The K-State Rodeo Club had a successful year under the leader-ship of President Ca-sey Adams who gradu-ated last month with a

degree in finance Among the major

accomplishments this year were hosting one of the most highly-at-tended college rodeos in the country raising funds for the club and team through events including a fall team roping Iron Woman competition ranch rodeo bull riding clin-ic a barrel race and funding another row of stalls at Burtis Arena

Club and team members of the year were recognized Male club member of the year is Blade Winter who served as stock co-chair while the top female club member is Brooke Wallace the 2016 Miss Rodeo K-State

Male team member of the year is junior Dixon Winn who finished 14th in the

Central Plains Region in bull riding and also competed in team roping calf roping and steer wrestling

Kinzie Alexander freshman who compet-ed in breakaway rop-ing and team roping at the college rodeos was the female team member of the year

The 2017-18 K-State Rodeo Exec-utive Board will be headed by President Milan Hunter junior

from Buffalo Creek Colorado

Other new board members are Kinzie Alexander presi-dent-elect Reiny Ostrander vice pres-ident Bailey Jeffries secretary Blade Winter treasurer Emily Ebert Miss Rodeo K-State Kealey Dwyer social chair Cassidy Hill advertis-ing chair Sponsorship Chair Jacob Grinstead (Continued on page 9)

fense the recall police flagged me for was for a defect in my heated seat which was an-other feature I didnrsquot know I possessed except when I ate extremely spicy foods of course The other time was for a defec-tive sensor that read my cabin temperature which posed as much danger to my person as a good steak and a glass of wine These government-mandat-ed recalls get a little old after awhile and I guess the car salesman sensed my disgust as I was looking fondly at the old photographs of horses and carriages on the walls

ldquoIf you think you have problems nowrdquo said the salesman ldquocan you imagine all the things the bureau-crats would have made us recall back then Commerce would have come to a standstill as

ldquoWhat are you in forrdquo asked the cold-looking culprit as if this was my first day in prison and he was to be my new best friend my cell mate But we werenrsquot in jail we were in the lob-by of the dealership where we buy our cars My new friend was a salesman who was hiding ready to pounce like a moun-tain lion on any poor unsuspecting soul who dared set foot in the jungle of the car lot Like a hawk he was looking out the huge plate glass window to spot his prey who had unknowingly ventured into no-manrsquos land He was ready to bolt out the door and be all over any prospective buyer like brown gravy on mashed potatoes

ldquoI received another notice in the mailrdquo

As I Recall

I said ldquothat therersquos

another recall to fix something on my car Hey you look familiar I know you yoursquore the guy who sold me my multi-recalled carrdquo

ldquoWe only issue the recalls for your own safetyrdquo the salesman meekly said

ldquoMaybe so but I hardly see how I was in any danger from a rear windshield wiperrdquo

ldquoWe sent out that recall because the heater that warms the water for your windshield wipers in freezing weather may get hotrdquo

ldquoIsnrsquot that the pointrdquo I asked ldquoAnd I hardly feel like I was in much danger of having a horrendous wreck because I never used that particular feature anyway In fact I never knew the car had that optionrdquo

As the day dragged on I engaged the salesman in chit chat because about the only thing I hate worse than going to the dentist is waiting for my car to be fixed especially in a lobby where the only reading material was Vogue and a Pottery Barn catalog that some other poor sap of the recall class had left behind

No wonder there were no tip jars in this place

I was in familiar ter-ritory though having been here three times before for my fairly new car The first of-

they could have issued recalls for uneven tread wear on horse-shoes loose rivets on harnesses or manure stains on the leather Back then yoursquod have received a telegram that read ldquoThe emis-sion control system on your 1878 model horse may run a little rich when filled with high octane alfalfa This could result in the driver getting exhaust all over his church clothes Please bring in your horse so that the proper adjust-ments can be maderdquo

ldquoOr rdquo I suggestedhellip ldquoWARNING Dear Sir or Madam it has come to our attention that the horse our salesman sold you may have a screw loose and this coupled with the fact that your horse may not have had all the training that our salesman

indicated could result in your engine running away from you Please be advised that should this happen and you did not respond to our recall notice your loss will not be covered by our extensive 3 day or 3 mile guaranteerdquo

ldquoIn the old daysrdquo the used car salesman said ldquothe govern-mentrsquos recall police would have had a field day as horse trad-ers back then had a reputation for saying almost anything to get you to buy a horserdquo

Hmmm Sounds like someone else I know

Finally my car was ready and on my way home I decided to check out the rear windshield wiper so I turned it on Almost immediately my seat started warming up

Onions DevelopingThis is the time of

year that onions grow and develop rapidly Regular watering (if needed) and a light fertilization are helpful to maximize growth Onions develop so that as much as 23 of the bulb remains out of the soil There is normal and there is no need to cover the bulb with soil

Some varieties of onions are nearing har-vest time when the tops begin to fall over Oth-

ers may not be ready to harvest for about a month You may wish to break over the tops that havenrsquot fallen to encourage drying of the neck Allow a few days to pass and then dig the onions to insure they donrsquot sunburn Temporarily store them in a dry well-venti-lated area for a week or two before cutting the tops to insure the necks are complete-ly dry Remove the foliage (or braid the

leaves) and store in a cool dry location (Ward Upham)

Deadheading Flowers

Some plants will bloom more profusely if the old spent flowers are removed a process called deadheading Annuals especially focus their energy on seed production to insure that the species survives If you remove old flowers the ener-gy normally used to produce seed is now available to produce

more flowers Perenni-als can also benefit by lengthening the bloom-ing season However some gardeners enjoy the look of spent flow-ers of perennials such as sedum or purple coneflower Also the seed produced can be a good food source for birds

Not all plants need to be deadheaded including sedum lsquoAutumn Joyrsquo melam-podium impatiens most flowering vines Lythrum periwin-kle (Catharanthus)

and wishbone flower (Torenia) Those that do increase bloom in response to dead-heading include hardy geraniums coreopsis petunias marigolds snapdragons bego-nias roses campan-ulas blanket flowers delphiniums zinnias sweet peas salvia scabiosa annual

heliotrope geraniums (Pelargonium) and yarrow

Deadheading is easily accomplished by removing spent flow-ers With some plants pinching between a thumb and finger can do this but tough wiry stems will require a scissors or pruning shears (Ward Upham)

How to register your boatPRATT ndash Summer-

time is boating time and with 24 federal reservoirs and more than 200 community lakes there are plenty of places for Kansans to enjoy being on the water However before you make you make your first trip take a second and make sure your registration is up to date

All boats powered by gas diesel electric motors or sail must be registered and numbered through the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks and

Tourism (KDWPT) for use on public waters Boaters can renew their registrations in person at KDWPT state park and regional offices or boat regis-tration agents (a list of agents by county can be found at wwwksoutdoorscom under ldquoBoatingrdquo)

If you sell a boat you must notify the depart-ment in writing within 15 days If you buy a boat from an individ-ual an application for registration needs to be submitted accom-panied by the previous

ownerrsquos certificate of number or a bill of sale and the registration fee If you buy a boat from a Kansas dealer the application needs to be submitted with a form STD8 or a bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If you buy a boat from an out-of-state dealer the bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If no sales tax was paid go to your county treasurer and pay sales tax then submit that receipt Registration applications can be downloaded from the

KDWPT website filled out and mailed in with the registration fee of $3250 (valid for three years)

The assigned regis-tration number must be painted or permanently attached to each side of the forward top half of the boat Numbers must be vertical block characters at least 3 inches tall that read from left to right A registration decal is issued each time you renew and it includes the year it expires Instructions on how the registration num-bers should appear are available in the Kansas

Boating Regulations Summary or online

Boat registrations expire three years from date of renewal and KDWPT will send out renewal notices six weeks prior to expira-tion

Fees from boat reg-istrations fund boating access education and law enforcement pro-grams and also provide match for federal fund-ing For more informa-tion on boat registra-tion contact your local KDWPT state park or regional office or call 620-672-5911

Spring-Flowering Bulb Foliage Can be Removed

It is important to leave spring-flowering bulb foliage in place until it ldquoripensrdquo or becomes brown The energy produced by the leaves after flow-ering is transferred to the bulb so that it can flower the following year The ripening process should be near completion now for tulips daffodils and various other spring-flowering bulbs Use clippers scissors or even a mower to remove dead foliage Also try to map out where the bulbs are planted as there will be no foliage to make the location next fall when it is time to fertilize (Ward Upham)

Cowboy to Great Beyond

best way to really know Keene There wasnrsquot anything Keene couldnrsquot do and not much he didnrsquot do in his most colorful life not all realized until reading eulogy

That first training job for Keene brought additional clients with his personal calls and notes At retirement age Keene prided as ldquoear manrdquo for Cheyenne Frontier Days wild horse race

With lovely-wife Sue they were regu-lars and buyers at the horse field-day-sale Keene with another half-dozen cowboys photographed ldquoshoot-ing the bullrdquo makes great office wall picture

ldquoCome up and wersquoll go fox huntingrdquo Keenersquos invitation an unforgettable expe-rience ldquoHey I have a saddle I want you haverdquo accepted on a Thanksgiving Day

Keene is a book unwritten yet con-densed here Military family rambunctious teenager fisherman camper explorer hippy motorcyclist Army veteran scuba diver two sonsrsquo dad fiversquos grandpa builder of whatever imagined construction inspector farmer leatherworker horse teamster collec-tor master farrier

Far far from con-clusive Keene simply ldquoan unforgettable character who lived according to his own rules always dreaming big dreamsrdquo

Once more remind-ed of Ecclesiastes 3 ldquoTo everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenhelliprdquo

ldquoSay I have a couple of broncs I got from a rodeo contrac-tor up northwest They wouldnrsquot buck and I want you to break rsquoem to riderdquo

That was first in-troduction to Keene more than a dozen years ago It was beginning of a real cowboy friendship great comradery with a most unique talented individual

Only realizing hersquod passed last month after seeing an estate auction advertisement it was truly heartfelt loss

All of the Keene experiences were instantly reflected Smile automatically uncontrollably spreads just remembering

Roaring into the ranch yard diving out of the pickup Keene was all grins unload-ing those horses to train ldquoRodeo broncsrdquo was no exaggeration at least in appearance

Donrsquot know how old but big rugged scarred branded rough hair tangled long manes tails un-trimmed at-least-shoe-size-four-feet roan draft horses

Tales of the horses his lifersquos adventures flowed as now-broad-er-grinning Keene aired meager expec-tations ldquoYou get rsquoem started and Irsquoll ride rsquoemrdquo promise taken lightly

Never ldquogentle giantsrdquo the ldquobroncsrdquo were rideable with enough cowboy try Keene had that Not perfect they did ev-erything cattle work trail rides fox hunts pulled wagons what-ever their big cow-boy-owner decided

Kansas farmer testifies on importance of food aid By Brooke Haas Kansas Wheat Communications Intern

On June 7 Ron Sup-pes a Kansas wheat farmer and former US Wheat Associates Chairman testified in front of the House Agriculture Committee on the importance of food aid discussing his recent trip to Tanzania where he viewed pro-grams that used wheat

Suppes is a wheat farmer from Dighton Kansas and food aid is a topic that hits home to him On his recent trip to Tanza-nia Suppes gained more knowledge than ever about wheat food aid programs He then decided to take his knowledge back to America to talk to

farmers about the value these programs offer

For over 60 years the wheat industry has led a helping-hand in being a partner with the US food aid American farmers are proud to share a part with the US food aid and are sharing their crop with the rest of the world

ldquoMore wheat is used in US in-kind aid than any other com-modity averaging 40 percent of the total It is also the most pop-ular commodity for monetizationrdquo said Suppes ldquoIt is a versa-tile product and of key dietary importancemdashbread products are staples in diets around the world Wheat is the source of 20 percent of the worldrsquos caloric

intake and provides 20 percent of protein for the worldrsquos most vulnerable 4 billion peoplerdquo

The US is the top leader of food aid donations and total de-velopment assistance Suppes says the wheat he grows is ldquodoing good half way around the worldrdquo and feels that is something to be proud of

ldquoWhat the world likes about US wheat is the quality as well as the consistency so they donrsquot have to change their mill settings Wersquore the most reliable source of wheat in the world and you go visit these customers we have and theyrsquoll tell you thatrdquo

Food aid continues (Continued on page 15)

Suppes said ldquoIt helps generate good-will in other countries a sentiment I saw first-hand in Tanzania But in the short-term these programs also involve a significant amount of wheat a fact not lost on Kansas farmers with full grain bins and more wheat piled on the ground from last yearrsquos historically high harvestrdquo

ldquoWhile these tools have a place in foreign assistance programs US commodities play an important role in helping regions unable to produce wheat and other commodities on their own due to drought conflict or other circumstancesrdquo he says ldquoWe have enough surplus that no one should be going hungryrdquo

ldquoIn marketing year 201516 we sent almost 600000 metric tons (MT) or about 22 million bushels of HRW as food aid That makes up almost 10 percent of last yearrsquos HRW exports and only Japan Nigeria and Mexico imported more HRWrdquo Suppes says

Suppes says a significant portion of these donations went to Ethiopia because their country was facing famine

Suppes strongly believes that mon-etization is a strong tool that will provide necessary commodi-ties to food-insecure areas and will benefit development programs by ldquogenerating funding from the sales of donat-ed US commoditiesrdquo

Not only does monetization benefit development pro-grams it can also give local small- and medium-sized buyers a competitive advantage because it is priced comparably to what a large buyer would pay

During Suppes trip to Tanzania he saw how the Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring wheat mone-tized there allowed the miller purchasing the wheat to pass along savings to their poorer customers He also visited four of the proj-ects funded by wheat monetization in the country

When asked about the importance of food aid Suppes replied ldquoIrsquom here because I think monetization is very important In fact Irsquom currently planting sorghum right now and my tractor is idle so thatrsquos how important I think it is I need to be here to talk to you about itrdquo

Suppes said in con-clusion ldquoThis is a year when the US wheat farmer has been a world leader in produc-ing a surplus of wheat It is a year when the US needs to be a world leader in helping provide for those in need with these ample suppliesrdquo

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

By John Schlageck Kansas Farm Bureau

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

Some of my friends visited with me through the internet telling me that I have been too busy Hey presently I tend to agree Wersquove been doing dinners (not the more formal ones) for the spring concert series here at work Each Friday Saturday and Sunday therersquos been a different group performing in Echo Hollow Last night was ldquoLovinrsquo Spoonfulrdquo Wow that takes us way back Wersquove taught an early class and then entertained a porchful of guests at 645pm for dinner and a show This past weekend wrapped it all up I think my family will be glad to see me before 9pm at night Not to mention theyrsquove had to fend for themselves in the culinary depart-ment

I am very pleased to finally debut my recipe for scalloped

vegetables The guests at Silver Dollar City have just loved this new lsquotakersquo on vegies In the early develop-ment I was striving for a vegetable dish that would stay warm through second help-ings Sometimes it is very difficult to serve vegetables because they cool off too fast

Any mixture of vege-table can be combined to make this casserole Irsquove even suggested taking this down an oriental avenue Grab water chestnuts and bamboo shoots for starters For the top-per reach for chow mein noodles that are crumbled and sprin-kled over the top

One thing I like to discuss with readers is the first step sauteacuteing the vegetable If you didnrsquot include this step you would have vegetables releasing too much liquid in the dish The mush-rooms can come or go depending upon whom you are entertaining After the vegetables are sauteacuteed you simply pour them over the mushrooms This is enough to cook them slightly before being encompassed by the creamy sauce

My assistant Bonnie thinks the bacon sprinkled over the top makes this dish Irsquom good with that too

When I first wrote the recipe I put panko across one half for the topping and crumbled butter crackers on the other side For me the butter crackers won out Certainly feel free to change out the Parmesan cheese on the top to an alter-native cheese Swiss would certainly cut the amount of sodium being consumed

On the home front I am excited to say Irsquom free this week on Fatherrsquos Day I am pleased as punch that I get to be home all day to spoil Mr Ervin Irsquom hoping we do something lsquofunrsquo as a family Maybe canoe-ing but he may have other ideas like lsquoTHE RECLINERrsquo and a Royals Baseball game

This week at the

Sauce14 cup butter14 cup flour12 teaspoon crushed thyme14 teaspoon celery salt

Topping1 cup crushed regular Ritz crack-ers4 tablespoons butter melted12 teaspoon white pepper

afternoon we switch to the hardcore project of canning meat This is so rewarding and fun to do especially with a lsquomodernrsquo pressure cooker As a child growing up I was so afraid of these lsquotoolsrsquo but with an updated model Irsquom loving it Itrsquos so nice to come

home and everything is in a jar and you quickly pull a meal together

ldquoLIFE ISNrsquoT ABOUT FINDING YOURSELF LIFE IS ABOUT CRE-ATING YOURSELFrdquo

George Bernard Shaw

It seems that I have

to deal with the news of the death of a friend on way to frequent a ba-sis Very little shocks me as I watch the news anymore in fact it is more wearisome than shocking But I almost fell off my chair at the news of the death of my friend Patsy Terrell

Patsy was a long time acquaintance and a person that I consid-ered to be a friend She was bright and artic-ulate a great writer a very personable con-versationalist She was also a great cook and she shared that with so many people with her recipes and articles in publications around the state

Patsy created herself and what an interesting person she was In her latest incarnation she represented the

Hutchinson area in the State Legislature Not being there I can take by her writings that she was a bulldog in her beliefs while in Topeka and I am sure this will be shared as time goes on

Many of my friends are of the age that it is not a surprise when they pass Grief is natural and is a fact of life Early on most of my friends that were my age died too soon and I harbor a grudge against cancer as it has been a too frequent compan-ion in my life But the sudden without warning occurrence of someone so active young young at heart and someone who values many tradi-tions is a shock

Many close friends that have Patsy in common are in grief and disbelief It is a continuing griev-ing process anymore to wake up As one famous person said not long ago ldquoThe first thing I do is read the obituaries when I get up if I am not there I have breakfastrdquo May-be a comic point but a real one

It is a loss to the peo-ple she represented the people of the state fam-ily and many friends including myself that we will no longer be able to read hear or be touched by a truly good person The world is too short on people like Patsy Terrell We benefited by knowing her and are grieved by losing her

PRATT ndash Do you have what it takes to go handfishing You can find out June 15-Aug 15 during the Kansas handfishing season Other than a strong grip hand-fishing permit and a fishing license all you really need is nerves of steel because yoursquoll be reaching into dark crevices and undercut banks to feel around for a hiding flathead catfish which by the way might weigh more than a 10-year-old lit-

tle league shortstopHandfishing is

allowed only on the Arkansas River the Kansas River from itrsquos origin to the down-stream confluence with the Missouri River and all federal reser-voirs from 150 yards beyond the dam to the upstream end of feder-al property In addition to a fishing license unless exempt hand-fishers must also have a $2750 handfishing permit Handfishers may not use hooks

snorkeling or scuba gear or any man-made device except a string-er Man-made objects such as barrels or tubs may not be used to attract fish

Once a fish is felt a handfisher must try to work a hand in its mouth and grip the fishrsquos lower jaw to bring it to the surface which is just about as difficult as it sounds especially on big fish And then therersquos the mental aspect of handfishing ndash won-

dering what else may be lurking in the dark underwater recesses Thatrsquos where the nerves of steel come in handy

Only flathead catfish are allowed to be caught handfishing and the daily creel limit is five For more informa-tion about handfishing and other types of fishing consult the 2017 Kansas Fishing Regulations Summary available wherever licenses are sold and at wwwksoutdoorscom

There is no future in giving up

That was the mes-sage of strength courage and determi-nation presented to college rodeo cowboys and cowgirls at the banquet of the K-State Rodeo Club in Man-hattan

Amberley Snyder is a barrel racer who has fought her way back from tragedy inspiring all of America to ldquoGet Back on the Horserdquo

Telling her inspi-rational story while competing in rodeos across the United States Snyder let the challenges she faced refine her not define her

Snyder was voted the fan exemption contestant at the worldrsquos richest one day rodeo RFD-TVrsquos The American in Dallas

Competing with the best in the world Snyder received a standing ovation from 40000 spectators winning the hearts of America for turning tragedy into triumph

Snyder had major positive momentum in life after quali-fying for the 2009 National High School Rodeo Finals in pole bending winning the National Little Britch-es Rodeo Association all-around cowgirl title and being elected Utah FFA state pres-ident

Everything was go-ing great Snyder told K-State Rodeo Club members alumni and friends at the banquet

Those dreams were temporarily dashed on January 10 2010 Snyder was driving to the Den-ver Stock Show and Rodeo looked down at a map faded into the other lane overcor-rected and rolled her pickup at 75 miles-per-hour

Not wearing a seat belt Snyder was eject-ed and slammed into a fence post that broke her back Following five hours of emer-gency surgery the

doctors prognosis was Snyder would never regain use or feeling below her waist

During one of Snyderrsquos many physi-cal therapy sessions a therapist asked Snyder for three goals She answered Walk ride and rodeo

Remarkably only 18 months after the accident Snyder was back on her horse Setting many goals she discovered the ladder on her horse trailer provided a means for pulling her-self up on her horse

With determination Snyder again com-peted in college and professional rodeos Graduating in 2015 with a bachelors degree in agricul-ture education shersquos pursuing a masters in counseling

According to Sny-der the 2009 accident taught her one most important lesson and her overarching mes-sage ldquoAttitude is a little thing that makes a big differencerdquo

K-State Animal Sciences amp Industry (ASampI) Head Ken Odde is retiring from that position He was recognized during the banquet for his lead-ership role in taking K-State rodeo to a new level

Ken Odde has established a strong relationship between his department and the K-State Rodeo Club and Team said Clarke Jackman Baldwin City chair-man of the K-State Rodeo Advisory Council

Some monumen-tal steps in the rodeo programs recent advancement would not have been possible without Kens support and guidance Jack-man insisted

During Oddes leadership the de-partment worked with the club and advisory council to bring the rodeo team practice facilities and horse housing on-campus

Rodeo student ath-letes now keep their horses in stalls and runs adjacent to Burtis Arena just north of Kimball Avenue The team has regular prac-tices at the facility

Another of Oddes major contri-butions to the program was hiring K-States first-ever full-time ro-deo coach on the ASampI staff Casy Winn just completed his second school year as rodeo coach and equine instructor

I am proud of the job Coach Winn has done in this posi-tion said Odde who was named ASampI head in early 2007

The K-State Rodeo Club had a successful year under the leader-ship of President Ca-sey Adams who gradu-ated last month with a

degree in finance Among the major

accomplishments this year were hosting one of the most highly-at-tended college rodeos in the country raising funds for the club and team through events including a fall team roping Iron Woman competition ranch rodeo bull riding clin-ic a barrel race and funding another row of stalls at Burtis Arena

Club and team members of the year were recognized Male club member of the year is Blade Winter who served as stock co-chair while the top female club member is Brooke Wallace the 2016 Miss Rodeo K-State

Male team member of the year is junior Dixon Winn who finished 14th in the

Central Plains Region in bull riding and also competed in team roping calf roping and steer wrestling

Kinzie Alexander freshman who compet-ed in breakaway rop-ing and team roping at the college rodeos was the female team member of the year

The 2017-18 K-State Rodeo Exec-utive Board will be headed by President Milan Hunter junior

from Buffalo Creek Colorado

Other new board members are Kinzie Alexander presi-dent-elect Reiny Ostrander vice pres-ident Bailey Jeffries secretary Blade Winter treasurer Emily Ebert Miss Rodeo K-State Kealey Dwyer social chair Cassidy Hill advertis-ing chair Sponsorship Chair Jacob Grinstead (Continued on page 9)

fense the recall police flagged me for was for a defect in my heated seat which was an-other feature I didnrsquot know I possessed except when I ate extremely spicy foods of course The other time was for a defec-tive sensor that read my cabin temperature which posed as much danger to my person as a good steak and a glass of wine These government-mandat-ed recalls get a little old after awhile and I guess the car salesman sensed my disgust as I was looking fondly at the old photographs of horses and carriages on the walls

ldquoIf you think you have problems nowrdquo said the salesman ldquocan you imagine all the things the bureau-crats would have made us recall back then Commerce would have come to a standstill as

ldquoWhat are you in forrdquo asked the cold-looking culprit as if this was my first day in prison and he was to be my new best friend my cell mate But we werenrsquot in jail we were in the lob-by of the dealership where we buy our cars My new friend was a salesman who was hiding ready to pounce like a moun-tain lion on any poor unsuspecting soul who dared set foot in the jungle of the car lot Like a hawk he was looking out the huge plate glass window to spot his prey who had unknowingly ventured into no-manrsquos land He was ready to bolt out the door and be all over any prospective buyer like brown gravy on mashed potatoes

ldquoI received another notice in the mailrdquo

As I Recall

I said ldquothat therersquos

another recall to fix something on my car Hey you look familiar I know you yoursquore the guy who sold me my multi-recalled carrdquo

ldquoWe only issue the recalls for your own safetyrdquo the salesman meekly said

ldquoMaybe so but I hardly see how I was in any danger from a rear windshield wiperrdquo

ldquoWe sent out that recall because the heater that warms the water for your windshield wipers in freezing weather may get hotrdquo

ldquoIsnrsquot that the pointrdquo I asked ldquoAnd I hardly feel like I was in much danger of having a horrendous wreck because I never used that particular feature anyway In fact I never knew the car had that optionrdquo

As the day dragged on I engaged the salesman in chit chat because about the only thing I hate worse than going to the dentist is waiting for my car to be fixed especially in a lobby where the only reading material was Vogue and a Pottery Barn catalog that some other poor sap of the recall class had left behind

No wonder there were no tip jars in this place

I was in familiar ter-ritory though having been here three times before for my fairly new car The first of-

they could have issued recalls for uneven tread wear on horse-shoes loose rivets on harnesses or manure stains on the leather Back then yoursquod have received a telegram that read ldquoThe emis-sion control system on your 1878 model horse may run a little rich when filled with high octane alfalfa This could result in the driver getting exhaust all over his church clothes Please bring in your horse so that the proper adjust-ments can be maderdquo

ldquoOr rdquo I suggestedhellip ldquoWARNING Dear Sir or Madam it has come to our attention that the horse our salesman sold you may have a screw loose and this coupled with the fact that your horse may not have had all the training that our salesman

indicated could result in your engine running away from you Please be advised that should this happen and you did not respond to our recall notice your loss will not be covered by our extensive 3 day or 3 mile guaranteerdquo

ldquoIn the old daysrdquo the used car salesman said ldquothe govern-mentrsquos recall police would have had a field day as horse trad-ers back then had a reputation for saying almost anything to get you to buy a horserdquo

Hmmm Sounds like someone else I know

Finally my car was ready and on my way home I decided to check out the rear windshield wiper so I turned it on Almost immediately my seat started warming up

Onions DevelopingThis is the time of

year that onions grow and develop rapidly Regular watering (if needed) and a light fertilization are helpful to maximize growth Onions develop so that as much as 23 of the bulb remains out of the soil There is normal and there is no need to cover the bulb with soil

Some varieties of onions are nearing har-vest time when the tops begin to fall over Oth-

ers may not be ready to harvest for about a month You may wish to break over the tops that havenrsquot fallen to encourage drying of the neck Allow a few days to pass and then dig the onions to insure they donrsquot sunburn Temporarily store them in a dry well-venti-lated area for a week or two before cutting the tops to insure the necks are complete-ly dry Remove the foliage (or braid the

leaves) and store in a cool dry location (Ward Upham)

Deadheading Flowers

Some plants will bloom more profusely if the old spent flowers are removed a process called deadheading Annuals especially focus their energy on seed production to insure that the species survives If you remove old flowers the ener-gy normally used to produce seed is now available to produce

more flowers Perenni-als can also benefit by lengthening the bloom-ing season However some gardeners enjoy the look of spent flow-ers of perennials such as sedum or purple coneflower Also the seed produced can be a good food source for birds

Not all plants need to be deadheaded including sedum lsquoAutumn Joyrsquo melam-podium impatiens most flowering vines Lythrum periwin-kle (Catharanthus)

and wishbone flower (Torenia) Those that do increase bloom in response to dead-heading include hardy geraniums coreopsis petunias marigolds snapdragons bego-nias roses campan-ulas blanket flowers delphiniums zinnias sweet peas salvia scabiosa annual

heliotrope geraniums (Pelargonium) and yarrow

Deadheading is easily accomplished by removing spent flow-ers With some plants pinching between a thumb and finger can do this but tough wiry stems will require a scissors or pruning shears (Ward Upham)

How to register your boatPRATT ndash Summer-

time is boating time and with 24 federal reservoirs and more than 200 community lakes there are plenty of places for Kansans to enjoy being on the water However before you make you make your first trip take a second and make sure your registration is up to date

All boats powered by gas diesel electric motors or sail must be registered and numbered through the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks and

Tourism (KDWPT) for use on public waters Boaters can renew their registrations in person at KDWPT state park and regional offices or boat regis-tration agents (a list of agents by county can be found at wwwksoutdoorscom under ldquoBoatingrdquo)

If you sell a boat you must notify the depart-ment in writing within 15 days If you buy a boat from an individ-ual an application for registration needs to be submitted accom-panied by the previous

ownerrsquos certificate of number or a bill of sale and the registration fee If you buy a boat from a Kansas dealer the application needs to be submitted with a form STD8 or a bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If you buy a boat from an out-of-state dealer the bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If no sales tax was paid go to your county treasurer and pay sales tax then submit that receipt Registration applications can be downloaded from the

KDWPT website filled out and mailed in with the registration fee of $3250 (valid for three years)

The assigned regis-tration number must be painted or permanently attached to each side of the forward top half of the boat Numbers must be vertical block characters at least 3 inches tall that read from left to right A registration decal is issued each time you renew and it includes the year it expires Instructions on how the registration num-bers should appear are available in the Kansas

Boating Regulations Summary or online

Boat registrations expire three years from date of renewal and KDWPT will send out renewal notices six weeks prior to expira-tion

Fees from boat reg-istrations fund boating access education and law enforcement pro-grams and also provide match for federal fund-ing For more informa-tion on boat registra-tion contact your local KDWPT state park or regional office or call 620-672-5911

Spring-Flowering Bulb Foliage Can be Removed

It is important to leave spring-flowering bulb foliage in place until it ldquoripensrdquo or becomes brown The energy produced by the leaves after flow-ering is transferred to the bulb so that it can flower the following year The ripening process should be near completion now for tulips daffodils and various other spring-flowering bulbs Use clippers scissors or even a mower to remove dead foliage Also try to map out where the bulbs are planted as there will be no foliage to make the location next fall when it is time to fertilize (Ward Upham)

Cowboy to Great Beyond

best way to really know Keene There wasnrsquot anything Keene couldnrsquot do and not much he didnrsquot do in his most colorful life not all realized until reading eulogy

That first training job for Keene brought additional clients with his personal calls and notes At retirement age Keene prided as ldquoear manrdquo for Cheyenne Frontier Days wild horse race

With lovely-wife Sue they were regu-lars and buyers at the horse field-day-sale Keene with another half-dozen cowboys photographed ldquoshoot-ing the bullrdquo makes great office wall picture

ldquoCome up and wersquoll go fox huntingrdquo Keenersquos invitation an unforgettable expe-rience ldquoHey I have a saddle I want you haverdquo accepted on a Thanksgiving Day

Keene is a book unwritten yet con-densed here Military family rambunctious teenager fisherman camper explorer hippy motorcyclist Army veteran scuba diver two sonsrsquo dad fiversquos grandpa builder of whatever imagined construction inspector farmer leatherworker horse teamster collec-tor master farrier

Far far from con-clusive Keene simply ldquoan unforgettable character who lived according to his own rules always dreaming big dreamsrdquo

Once more remind-ed of Ecclesiastes 3 ldquoTo everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenhelliprdquo

That was first in-troduction to Keene more than a dozen years ago It was beginning of a real cowboy friendship great comradery with a most unique talented individual

Only realizing hersquod passed last month after seeing an estate auction advertisement it was truly heartfelt loss

All of the Keene experiences were instantly reflected Smile automatically uncontrollably spreads just remembering

Roaring into the ranch yard diving out of the pickup Keene was all grins unload-ing those horses to train ldquoRodeo broncsrdquo was no exaggeration at least in appearance

Kansas farmer testifies on importance of food aid By Brooke Haas Kansas Wheat Communications Intern

On June 7 Ron Sup-pes a Kansas wheat farmer and former US Wheat Associates Chairman testified in front of the House Agriculture Committee on the importance of food aid discussing his recent trip to Tanzania where he viewed pro-grams that used wheat

Suppes is a wheat farmer from Dighton Kansas and food aid is a topic that hits home to him On his recent trip to Tanza-nia Suppes gained more knowledge than ever about wheat food aid programs He then decided to take his knowledge back to America to talk to

farmers about the value these programs offer

For over 60 years the wheat industry has led a helping-hand in being a partner with the US food aid American farmers are proud to share a part with the US food aid and are sharing their crop with the rest of the world

ldquoMore wheat is used in US in-kind aid than any other com-modity averaging 40 percent of the total It is also the most pop-ular commodity for monetizationrdquo said Suppes ldquoIt is a versa-tile product and of key dietary importancemdashbread products are staples in diets around the world Wheat is the source of 20 percent of the worldrsquos caloric

intake and provides 20 percent of protein for the worldrsquos most vulnerable 4 billion peoplerdquo

The US is the top leader of food aid donations and total de-velopment assistance Suppes says the wheat he grows is ldquodoing good half way around the worldrdquo and feels that is something to be proud of

ldquoWhat the world likes about US wheat is the quality as well as the consistency so they donrsquot have to change their mill settings Wersquore the most reliable source of wheat in the world and you go visit these customers we have and theyrsquoll tell you thatrdquo

Food aid continues (Continued on page 15)

(Continued from page 14) to be a powerful tool used to help others in need

Suppes said ldquoIt helps generate good-will in other countries a sentiment I saw first-hand in Tanzania But in the short-term these programs also involve a significant amount of wheat a fact not lost on Kansas farmers with full grain bins and more wheat piled on the ground from last yearrsquos historically high harvestrdquo

ldquoWhile these tools have a place in foreign assistance programs US commodities play an important role in helping regions unable to produce wheat and other commodities on their own due to drought conflict or other circumstancesrdquo he says ldquoWe have enough surplus that no one should be going hungryrdquo

ldquoIn marketing year 201516 we sent almost 600000 metric tons (MT) or about 22 million bushels of HRW as food aid That makes up almost 10 percent of last yearrsquos HRW exports and only Japan Nigeria and Mexico imported more HRWrdquo Suppes says

Suppes says a significant portion of these donations went to Ethiopia because their country was facing famine

Suppes strongly believes that mon-etization is a strong tool that will provide necessary commodi-ties to food-insecure areas and will benefit development programs by ldquogenerating funding from the sales of donat-ed US commoditiesrdquo

Not only does monetization benefit development pro-grams it can also give local small- and medium-sized buyers a competitive advantage because it is priced comparably to what a large buyer would pay

During Suppes trip to Tanzania he saw how the Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring wheat mone-tized there allowed the miller purchasing the wheat to pass along savings to their poorer customers He also visited four of the proj-ects funded by wheat monetization in the country

When asked about the importance of food aid Suppes replied ldquoIrsquom here because I think monetization is very important In fact Irsquom currently planting sorghum right now and my tractor is idle so thatrsquos how important I think it is I need to be here to talk to you about itrdquo

Suppes said in con-clusion ldquoThis is a year when the US wheat farmer has been a world leader in produc-ing a surplus of wheat It is a year when the US needs to be a world leader in helping provide for those in need with these ample suppliesrdquo

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

ldquoInterestingly both Wsm1 and Wsm3 as a

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

By John Schlageck Kansas Farm Bureau

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

ldquoLIFE ISNrsquoT ABOUT FINDING YOURSELF LIFE IS ABOUT CRE-ATING YOURSELFrdquo

George Bernard Shaw

It seems that I have

to deal with the news of the death of a friend on way to frequent a ba-sis Very little shocks me as I watch the news anymore in fact it is more wearisome than shocking But I almost fell off my chair at the news of the death of my friend Patsy Terrell

Patsy was a long time acquaintance and a person that I consid-ered to be a friend She was bright and artic-ulate a great writer a very personable con-versationalist She was also a great cook and she shared that with so many people with her recipes and articles in publications around the state

Patsy created herself and what an interesting person she was In her latest incarnation she represented the

Hutchinson area in the State Legislature Not being there I can take by her writings that she was a bulldog in her beliefs while in Topeka and I am sure this will be shared as time goes on

Many of my friends are of the age that it is not a surprise when they pass Grief is natural and is a fact of life Early on most of my friends that were my age died too soon and I harbor a grudge against cancer as it has been a too frequent compan-ion in my life But the sudden without warning occurrence of someone so active young young at heart and someone who values many tradi-tions is a shock

Many close friends that have Patsy in common are in grief and disbelief It is a continuing griev-ing process anymore to wake up As one famous person said not long ago ldquoThe first thing I do is read the obituaries when I get up if I am not there I have breakfastrdquo May-be a comic point but a real one

It is a loss to the peo-ple she represented the people of the state fam-ily and many friends including myself that we will no longer be able to read hear or be touched by a truly good person The world is too short on people like Patsy Terrell We benefited by knowing her and are grieved by losing her

PRATT ndash Do you have what it takes to go handfishing You can find out June 15-Aug 15 during the Kansas handfishing season Other than a strong grip hand-fishing permit and a fishing license all you really need is nerves of steel because yoursquoll be reaching into dark crevices and undercut banks to feel around for a hiding flathead catfish which by the way might weigh more than a 10-year-old lit-

tle league shortstopHandfishing is

allowed only on the Arkansas River the Kansas River from itrsquos origin to the down-stream confluence with the Missouri River and all federal reser-voirs from 150 yards beyond the dam to the upstream end of feder-al property In addition to a fishing license unless exempt hand-fishers must also have a $2750 handfishing permit Handfishers may not use hooks

snorkeling or scuba gear or any man-made device except a string-er Man-made objects such as barrels or tubs may not be used to attract fish

Once a fish is felt a handfisher must try to work a hand in its mouth and grip the fishrsquos lower jaw to bring it to the surface which is just about as difficult as it sounds especially on big fish And then therersquos the mental aspect of handfishing ndash won-

dering what else may be lurking in the dark underwater recesses Thatrsquos where the nerves of steel come in handy

Only flathead catfish are allowed to be caught handfishing and the daily creel limit is five For more informa-tion about handfishing and other types of fishing consult the 2017 Kansas Fishing Regulations Summary available wherever licenses are sold and at wwwksoutdoorscom

There is no future in giving up

That was the mes-sage of strength courage and determi-nation presented to college rodeo cowboys and cowgirls at the banquet of the K-State Rodeo Club in Man-hattan

Amberley Snyder is a barrel racer who has fought her way back from tragedy inspiring all of America to ldquoGet Back on the Horserdquo

Telling her inspi-rational story while competing in rodeos across the United States Snyder let the challenges she faced refine her not define her

Snyder was voted the fan exemption contestant at the worldrsquos richest one day rodeo RFD-TVrsquos The American in Dallas

Competing with the best in the world Snyder received a standing ovation from 40000 spectators winning the hearts of America for turning tragedy into triumph

Snyder had major positive momentum in life after quali-fying for the 2009 National High School Rodeo Finals in pole bending winning the National Little Britch-es Rodeo Association all-around cowgirl title and being elected Utah FFA state pres-ident

Everything was go-ing great Snyder told K-State Rodeo Club members alumni and friends at the banquet

Those dreams were temporarily dashed on January 10 2010 Snyder was driving to the Den-ver Stock Show and Rodeo looked down at a map faded into the other lane overcor-rected and rolled her pickup at 75 miles-per-hour

Not wearing a seat belt Snyder was eject-ed and slammed into a fence post that broke her back Following five hours of emer-gency surgery the

doctors prognosis was Snyder would never regain use or feeling below her waist

During one of Snyderrsquos many physi-cal therapy sessions a therapist asked Snyder for three goals She answered Walk ride and rodeo

Remarkably only 18 months after the accident Snyder was back on her horse Setting many goals she discovered the ladder on her horse trailer provided a means for pulling her-self up on her horse

With determination Snyder again com-peted in college and professional rodeos Graduating in 2015 with a bachelors degree in agricul-ture education shersquos pursuing a masters in counseling

According to Sny-der the 2009 accident taught her one most important lesson and her overarching mes-sage ldquoAttitude is a little thing that makes a big differencerdquo

K-State Animal Sciences amp Industry (ASampI) Head Ken Odde is retiring from that position He was recognized during the banquet for his lead-ership role in taking K-State rodeo to a new level

Ken Odde has established a strong relationship between his department and the K-State Rodeo Club and Team said Clarke Jackman Baldwin City chair-man of the K-State Rodeo Advisory Council

Some monumen-tal steps in the rodeo programs recent advancement would not have been possible without Kens support and guidance Jack-man insisted

During Oddes leadership the de-partment worked with the club and advisory council to bring the rodeo team practice facilities and horse housing on-campus

Rodeo student ath-letes now keep their horses in stalls and runs adjacent to Burtis Arena just north of Kimball Avenue The team has regular prac-tices at the facility

Another of Oddes major contri-butions to the program was hiring K-States first-ever full-time ro-deo coach on the ASampI staff Casy Winn just completed his second school year as rodeo coach and equine instructor

I am proud of the job Coach Winn has done in this posi-tion said Odde who was named ASampI head in early 2007

The K-State Rodeo Club had a successful year under the leader-ship of President Ca-sey Adams who gradu-ated last month with a

degree in finance Among the major

accomplishments this year were hosting one of the most highly-at-tended college rodeos in the country raising funds for the club and team through events including a fall team roping Iron Woman competition ranch rodeo bull riding clin-ic a barrel race and funding another row of stalls at Burtis Arena

Club and team members of the year were recognized Male club member of the year is Blade Winter who served as stock co-chair while the top female club member is Brooke Wallace the 2016 Miss Rodeo K-State

Male team member of the year is junior Dixon Winn who finished 14th in the

Central Plains Region in bull riding and also competed in team roping calf roping and steer wrestling

Kinzie Alexander freshman who compet-ed in breakaway rop-ing and team roping at the college rodeos was the female team member of the year

The 2017-18 K-State Rodeo Exec-utive Board will be headed by President Milan Hunter junior

from Buffalo Creek Colorado

Other new board members are Kinzie Alexander presi-dent-elect Reiny Ostrander vice pres-ident Bailey Jeffries secretary Blade Winter treasurer Emily Ebert Miss Rodeo K-State Kealey Dwyer social chair Cassidy Hill advertis-ing chair Sponsorship Chair Jacob Grinstead (Continued on page 9)

fense the recall police flagged me for was for a defect in my heated seat which was an-other feature I didnrsquot know I possessed except when I ate extremely spicy foods of course The other time was for a defec-tive sensor that read my cabin temperature which posed as much danger to my person as a good steak and a glass of wine These government-mandat-ed recalls get a little old after awhile and I guess the car salesman sensed my disgust as I was looking fondly at the old photographs of horses and carriages on the walls

ldquoIf you think you have problems nowrdquo said the salesman ldquocan you imagine all the things the bureau-crats would have made us recall back then Commerce would have come to a standstill as

ldquoWhat are you in forrdquo asked the cold-looking culprit as if this was my first day in prison and he was to be my new best friend my cell mate But we werenrsquot in jail we were in the lob-by of the dealership where we buy our cars My new friend was a salesman who was hiding ready to pounce like a moun-tain lion on any poor unsuspecting soul who dared set foot in the jungle of the car lot Like a hawk he was looking out the huge plate glass window to spot his prey who had unknowingly ventured into no-manrsquos land He was ready to bolt out the door and be all over any prospective buyer like brown gravy on mashed potatoes

ldquoI received another notice in the mailrdquo

As I Recall

I said ldquothat therersquos

another recall to fix something on my car Hey you look familiar I know you yoursquore the guy who sold me my multi-recalled carrdquo

ldquoWe only issue the recalls for your own safetyrdquo the salesman meekly said

ldquoMaybe so but I hardly see how I was in any danger from a rear windshield wiperrdquo

ldquoWe sent out that recall because the heater that warms the water for your windshield wipers in freezing weather may get hotrdquo

ldquoIsnrsquot that the pointrdquo I asked ldquoAnd I hardly feel like I was in much danger of having a horrendous wreck because I never used that particular feature anyway In fact I never knew the car had that optionrdquo

As the day dragged on I engaged the salesman in chit chat because about the only thing I hate worse than going to the dentist is waiting for my car to be fixed especially in a lobby where the only reading material was Vogue and a Pottery Barn catalog that some other poor sap of the recall class had left behind

No wonder there were no tip jars in this place

I was in familiar ter-ritory though having been here three times before for my fairly new car The first of-

they could have issued recalls for uneven tread wear on horse-shoes loose rivets on harnesses or manure stains on the leather Back then yoursquod have received a telegram that read ldquoThe emis-sion control system on your 1878 model horse may run a little rich when filled with high octane alfalfa This could result in the driver getting exhaust all over his church clothes Please bring in your horse so that the proper adjust-ments can be maderdquo

ldquoOr rdquo I suggestedhellip ldquoWARNING Dear Sir or Madam it has come to our attention that the horse our salesman sold you may have a screw loose and this coupled with the fact that your horse may not have had all the training that our salesman

indicated could result in your engine running away from you Please be advised that should this happen and you did not respond to our recall notice your loss will not be covered by our extensive 3 day or 3 mile guaranteerdquo

ldquoIn the old daysrdquo the used car salesman said ldquothe govern-mentrsquos recall police would have had a field day as horse trad-ers back then had a reputation for saying almost anything to get you to buy a horserdquo

Hmmm Sounds like someone else I know

Finally my car was ready and on my way home I decided to check out the rear windshield wiper so I turned it on Almost immediately my seat started warming up

Onions DevelopingThis is the time of

year that onions grow and develop rapidly Regular watering (if needed) and a light fertilization are helpful to maximize growth Onions develop so that as much as 23 of the bulb remains out of the soil There is normal and there is no need to cover the bulb with soil

Some varieties of onions are nearing har-vest time when the tops begin to fall over Oth-

ers may not be ready to harvest for about a month You may wish to break over the tops that havenrsquot fallen to encourage drying of the neck Allow a few days to pass and then dig the onions to insure they donrsquot sunburn Temporarily store them in a dry well-venti-lated area for a week or two before cutting the tops to insure the necks are complete-ly dry Remove the foliage (or braid the

leaves) and store in a cool dry location (Ward Upham)

Deadheading Flowers

Some plants will bloom more profusely if the old spent flowers are removed a process called deadheading Annuals especially focus their energy on seed production to insure that the species survives If you remove old flowers the ener-gy normally used to produce seed is now available to produce

more flowers Perenni-als can also benefit by lengthening the bloom-ing season However some gardeners enjoy the look of spent flow-ers of perennials such as sedum or purple coneflower Also the seed produced can be a good food source for birds

Not all plants need to be deadheaded including sedum lsquoAutumn Joyrsquo melam-podium impatiens most flowering vines Lythrum periwin-kle (Catharanthus)

and wishbone flower (Torenia) Those that do increase bloom in response to dead-heading include hardy geraniums coreopsis petunias marigolds snapdragons bego-nias roses campan-ulas blanket flowers delphiniums zinnias sweet peas salvia scabiosa annual

heliotrope geraniums (Pelargonium) and yarrow

Deadheading is easily accomplished by removing spent flow-ers With some plants pinching between a thumb and finger can do this but tough wiry stems will require a scissors or pruning shears (Ward Upham)

How to register your boatPRATT ndash Summer-

time is boating time and with 24 federal reservoirs and more than 200 community lakes there are plenty of places for Kansans to enjoy being on the water However before you make you make your first trip take a second and make sure your registration is up to date

All boats powered by gas diesel electric motors or sail must be registered and numbered through the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks and

Tourism (KDWPT) for use on public waters Boaters can renew their registrations in person at KDWPT state park and regional offices or boat regis-tration agents (a list of agents by county can be found at wwwksoutdoorscom under ldquoBoatingrdquo)

If you sell a boat you must notify the depart-ment in writing within 15 days If you buy a boat from an individ-ual an application for registration needs to be submitted accom-panied by the previous

ownerrsquos certificate of number or a bill of sale and the registration fee If you buy a boat from a Kansas dealer the application needs to be submitted with a form STD8 or a bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If you buy a boat from an out-of-state dealer the bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If no sales tax was paid go to your county treasurer and pay sales tax then submit that receipt Registration applications can be downloaded from the

KDWPT website filled out and mailed in with the registration fee of $3250 (valid for three years)

The assigned regis-tration number must be painted or permanently attached to each side of the forward top half of the boat Numbers must be vertical block characters at least 3 inches tall that read from left to right A registration decal is issued each time you renew and it includes the year it expires Instructions on how the registration num-bers should appear are available in the Kansas

Boating Regulations Summary or online

Boat registrations expire three years from date of renewal and KDWPT will send out renewal notices six weeks prior to expira-tion

Fees from boat reg-istrations fund boating access education and law enforcement pro-grams and also provide match for federal fund-ing For more informa-tion on boat registra-tion contact your local KDWPT state park or regional office or call 620-672-5911

Spring-Flowering Bulb Foliage Can be Removed

It is important to leave spring-flowering bulb foliage in place until it ldquoripensrdquo or becomes brown The energy produced by the leaves after flow-ering is transferred to the bulb so that it can flower the following year The ripening process should be near completion now for tulips daffodils and various other spring-flowering bulbs Use clippers scissors or even a mower to remove dead foliage Also try to map out where the bulbs are planted as there will be no foliage to make the location next fall when it is time to fertilize (Ward Upham)

Cowboy to Great Beyond

best way to really know Keene There wasnrsquot anything Keene couldnrsquot do and not much he didnrsquot do in his most colorful life not all realized until reading eulogy

That first training job for Keene brought additional clients with his personal calls and notes At retirement age Keene prided as ldquoear manrdquo for Cheyenne Frontier Days wild horse race

With lovely-wife Sue they were regu-lars and buyers at the horse field-day-sale Keene with another half-dozen cowboys photographed ldquoshoot-ing the bullrdquo makes great office wall picture

ldquoCome up and wersquoll go fox huntingrdquo Keenersquos invitation an unforgettable expe-rience ldquoHey I have a saddle I want you haverdquo accepted on a Thanksgiving Day

Keene is a book unwritten yet con-densed here Military family rambunctious teenager fisherman camper explorer hippy motorcyclist Army veteran scuba diver two sonsrsquo dad fiversquos grandpa builder of whatever imagined construction inspector farmer leatherworker horse teamster collec-tor master farrier

Far far from con-clusive Keene simply ldquoan unforgettable character who lived according to his own rules always dreaming big dreamsrdquo

Once more remind-ed of Ecclesiastes 3 ldquoTo everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenhelliprdquo

ldquoSay I have a couple of broncs I got from a rodeo contrac-tor up northwest They wouldnrsquot buck and I want you to break rsquoem to riderdquo

That was first in-troduction to Keene more than a dozen years ago It was beginning of a real cowboy friendship great comradery with a most unique talented individual

Only realizing hersquod passed last month after seeing an estate auction advertisement it was truly heartfelt loss

All of the Keene experiences were instantly reflected Smile automatically uncontrollably spreads just remembering

Kansas farmer testifies on importance of food aid By Brooke Haas Kansas Wheat Communications Intern

On June 7 Ron Sup-pes a Kansas wheat farmer and former US Wheat Associates Chairman testified in front of the House Agriculture Committee on the importance of food aid discussing his recent trip to Tanzania where he viewed pro-grams that used wheat

Suppes is a wheat farmer from Dighton Kansas and food aid is a topic that hits home to him On his recent trip to Tanza-nia Suppes gained more knowledge than ever about wheat food aid programs He then decided to take his knowledge back to America to talk to

farmers about the value these programs offer

For over 60 years the wheat industry has led a helping-hand in being a partner with the US food aid American farmers are proud to share a part with the US food aid and are sharing their crop with the rest of the world

ldquoMore wheat is used in US in-kind aid than any other com-modity averaging 40 percent of the total It is also the most pop-ular commodity for monetizationrdquo said Suppes ldquoIt is a versa-tile product and of key dietary importancemdashbread products are staples in diets around the world Wheat is the source of 20 percent of the worldrsquos caloric

intake and provides 20 percent of protein for the worldrsquos most vulnerable 4 billion peoplerdquo

The US is the top leader of food aid donations and total de-velopment assistance Suppes says the wheat he grows is ldquodoing good half way around the worldrdquo and feels that is something to be proud of

ldquoWhat the world likes about US wheat is the quality as well as the consistency so they donrsquot have to change their mill settings Wersquore the most reliable source of wheat in the world and you go visit these customers we have and theyrsquoll tell you thatrdquo

Food aid continues (Continued on page 15)

(Continued from page 14) to be a powerful tool used to help others in need

Suppes said ldquoIt helps generate good-will in other countries a sentiment I saw first-hand in Tanzania But in the short-term these programs also involve a significant amount of wheat a fact not lost on Kansas farmers with full grain bins and more wheat piled on the ground from last yearrsquos historically high harvestrdquo

ldquoWhile these tools have a place in foreign assistance programs US commodities play an important role in helping regions unable to produce wheat and other commodities on their own due to drought conflict or other circumstancesrdquo he says ldquoWe have enough surplus that no one should be going hungryrdquo

ldquoIn marketing year 201516 we sent almost 600000 metric tons (MT) or about 22 million bushels of HRW as food aid That makes up almost 10 percent of last yearrsquos HRW exports and only Japan Nigeria and Mexico imported more HRWrdquo Suppes says

Suppes says a significant portion of these donations went to Ethiopia because their country was facing famine

Suppes strongly believes that mon-etization is a strong tool that will provide necessary commodi-ties to food-insecure areas and will benefit development programs by ldquogenerating funding from the sales of donat-ed US commoditiesrdquo

Not only does monetization benefit development pro-grams it can also give local small- and medium-sized buyers a competitive advantage because it is priced comparably to what a large buyer would pay

During Suppes trip to Tanzania he saw how the Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring wheat mone-tized there allowed the miller purchasing the wheat to pass along savings to their poorer customers He also visited four of the proj-ects funded by wheat monetization in the country

When asked about the importance of food aid Suppes replied ldquoIrsquom here because I think monetization is very important In fact Irsquom currently planting sorghum right now and my tractor is idle so thatrsquos how important I think it is I need to be here to talk to you about itrdquo

Suppes said in con-clusion ldquoThis is a year when the US wheat farmer has been a world leader in produc-ing a surplus of wheat It is a year when the US needs to be a world leader in helping provide for those in need with these ample suppliesrdquo

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

By John Schlageck Kansas Farm Bureau

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Note to media edi-tors We will provide a specific site location along with accessibility to its owner or subject matter expert Mike Kandt for interviews upon request along with a representative

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Exploring Kansas OutdoorsBy Steve Gilliland

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural MessengerPage 30 June 14 2017

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo it might be entered ldquoWe thank the Almighty (Continued on page 31)

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

all that comprise the event come from long ago from a time when hope moved a citizenry to accomplish the incredible

ldquoToday we realize that peo-ple like us are everywhererdquo the journal would say ldquothat

we share involvement in a common history ndash a history of anguish and at times cruel-ty and hardship but also of courage and warmth and rare nobility a history that gives us some feel of ourselves and will help us to endurerdquo

less terrorists ruth-less and our country godless Which leaves our clueless govern-ment fathomless and all us citizens speech-less

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

One of the regu-

lars at our Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast club olrsquo A Payne Daily brought a sheet of paper to show us why we have so much to complain about in 2017 The pa-per reminded that our phones are wireless our cooking fireless our cars keyless our food fatless our tires tubeless our shirt and blouses sleeveless our youth jobless our leaders shameless our relationships mean-ingless our attitudes careless our babies fatherless too many folks shiftless our feelings heartless our education valueless our children manner-

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

ldquoLIFE ISNrsquoT ABOUT FINDING YOURSELF LIFE IS ABOUT CRE-ATING YOURSELFrdquo

George Bernard Shaw

It seems that I have

to deal with the news of the death of a friend on way to frequent a ba-sis Very little shocks me as I watch the news anymore in fact it is more wearisome than shocking But I almost fell off my chair at the news of the death of my friend Patsy Terrell

Patsy was a long time acquaintance and a person that I consid-ered to be a friend She was bright and artic-ulate a great writer a very personable con-versationalist She was also a great cook and she shared that with so many people with her recipes and articles in publications around the state

Patsy created herself and what an interesting person she was In her latest incarnation she represented the

Hutchinson area in the State Legislature Not being there I can take by her writings that she was a bulldog in her beliefs while in Topeka and I am sure this will be shared as time goes on

Many of my friends are of the age that it is not a surprise when they pass Grief is natural and is a fact of life Early on most of my friends that were my age died too soon and I harbor a grudge against cancer as it has been a too frequent compan-ion in my life But the sudden without warning occurrence of someone so active young young at heart and someone who values many tradi-tions is a shock

Many close friends that have Patsy in common are in grief and disbelief It is a continuing griev-ing process anymore to wake up As one famous person said not long ago ldquoThe first thing I do is read the obituaries when I get up if I am not there I have breakfastrdquo May-be a comic point but a real one

It is a loss to the peo-ple she represented the people of the state fam-ily and many friends including myself that we will no longer be able to read hear or be touched by a truly good person The world is too short on people like Patsy Terrell We benefited by knowing her and are grieved by losing her

PRATT ndash Do you have what it takes to go handfishing You can find out June 15-Aug 15 during the Kansas handfishing season Other than a strong grip hand-fishing permit and a fishing license all you really need is nerves of steel because yoursquoll be reaching into dark crevices and undercut banks to feel around for a hiding flathead catfish which by the way might weigh more than a 10-year-old lit-

tle league shortstopHandfishing is

allowed only on the Arkansas River the Kansas River from itrsquos origin to the down-stream confluence with the Missouri River and all federal reser-voirs from 150 yards beyond the dam to the upstream end of feder-al property In addition to a fishing license unless exempt hand-fishers must also have a $2750 handfishing permit Handfishers may not use hooks

snorkeling or scuba gear or any man-made device except a string-er Man-made objects such as barrels or tubs may not be used to attract fish

Once a fish is felt a handfisher must try to work a hand in its mouth and grip the fishrsquos lower jaw to bring it to the surface which is just about as difficult as it sounds especially on big fish And then therersquos the mental aspect of handfishing ndash won-

dering what else may be lurking in the dark underwater recesses Thatrsquos where the nerves of steel come in handy

Only flathead catfish are allowed to be caught handfishing and the daily creel limit is five For more informa-tion about handfishing and other types of fishing consult the 2017 Kansas Fishing Regulations Summary available wherever licenses are sold and at wwwksoutdoorscom

Rural MessengerPage 8 June 14 2017

There is no future in giving up

That was the mes-sage of strength courage and determi-nation presented to college rodeo cowboys and cowgirls at the banquet of the K-State Rodeo Club in Man-hattan

Amberley Snyder is a barrel racer who has fought her way back from tragedy inspiring all of America to ldquoGet Back on the Horserdquo

Telling her inspi-rational story while competing in rodeos across the United States Snyder let the challenges she faced refine her not define her

Snyder was voted the fan exemption contestant at the worldrsquos richest one day rodeo RFD-TVrsquos The American in Dallas

Competing with the best in the world Snyder received a standing ovation from 40000 spectators winning the hearts of America for turning tragedy into triumph

Snyder had major positive momentum in life after quali-fying for the 2009 National High School Rodeo Finals in pole bending winning the National Little Britch-es Rodeo Association all-around cowgirl title and being elected Utah FFA state pres-ident

Everything was go-ing great Snyder told K-State Rodeo Club members alumni and friends at the banquet

Those dreams were temporarily dashed on January 10 2010 Snyder was driving to the Den-ver Stock Show and Rodeo looked down at a map faded into the other lane overcor-rected and rolled her pickup at 75 miles-per-hour

Not wearing a seat belt Snyder was eject-ed and slammed into a fence post that broke her back Following five hours of emer-gency surgery the

doctors prognosis was Snyder would never regain use or feeling below her waist

During one of Snyderrsquos many physi-cal therapy sessions a therapist asked Snyder for three goals She answered Walk ride and rodeo

Remarkably only 18 months after the accident Snyder was back on her horse Setting many goals she discovered the ladder on her horse trailer provided a means for pulling her-self up on her horse

With determination Snyder again com-peted in college and professional rodeos Graduating in 2015 with a bachelors degree in agricul-ture education shersquos pursuing a masters in counseling

According to Sny-der the 2009 accident taught her one most important lesson and her overarching mes-sage ldquoAttitude is a little thing that makes a big differencerdquo

K-State Animal Sciences amp Industry (ASampI) Head Ken Odde is retiring from that position He was recognized during the banquet for his lead-ership role in taking K-State rodeo to a new level

Ken Odde has established a strong relationship between his department and the K-State Rodeo Club and Team said Clarke Jackman Baldwin City chair-man of the K-State Rodeo Advisory Council

Some monumen-tal steps in the rodeo programs recent advancement would not have been possible without Kens support and guidance Jack-man insisted

During Oddes leadership the de-partment worked with the club and advisory council to bring the rodeo team practice facilities and horse housing on-campus

Rodeo student ath-letes now keep their horses in stalls and runs adjacent to Burtis Arena just north of Kimball Avenue The team has regular prac-tices at the facility

Another of Oddes major contri-butions to the program was hiring K-States first-ever full-time ro-deo coach on the ASampI staff Casy Winn just completed his second school year as rodeo coach and equine instructor

I am proud of the job Coach Winn has done in this posi-tion said Odde who was named ASampI head in early 2007

The K-State Rodeo Club had a successful year under the leader-ship of President Ca-sey Adams who gradu-ated last month with a

degree in finance Among the major

accomplishments this year were hosting one of the most highly-at-tended college rodeos in the country raising funds for the club and team through events including a fall team roping Iron Woman competition ranch rodeo bull riding clin-ic a barrel race and funding another row of stalls at Burtis Arena

Club and team members of the year were recognized Male club member of the year is Blade Winter who served as stock co-chair while the top female club member is Brooke Wallace the 2016 Miss Rodeo K-State

Male team member of the year is junior Dixon Winn who finished 14th in the

Central Plains Region in bull riding and also competed in team roping calf roping and steer wrestling

Kinzie Alexander freshman who compet-ed in breakaway rop-ing and team roping at the college rodeos was the female team member of the year

The 2017-18 K-State Rodeo Exec-utive Board will be headed by President Milan Hunter junior

from Buffalo Creek Colorado

Other new board members are Kinzie Alexander presi-dent-elect Reiny Ostrander vice pres-ident Bailey Jeffries secretary Blade Winter treasurer Emily Ebert Miss Rodeo K-State Kealey Dwyer social chair Cassidy Hill advertis-ing chair Sponsorship Chair Jacob Grinstead (Continued on page 9)

fense the recall police flagged me for was for a defect in my heated seat which was an-other feature I didnrsquot know I possessed except when I ate extremely spicy foods of course The other time was for a defec-tive sensor that read my cabin temperature which posed as much danger to my person as a good steak and a glass of wine These government-mandat-ed recalls get a little old after awhile and I guess the car salesman sensed my disgust as I was looking fondly at the old photographs of horses and carriages on the walls

ldquoIf you think you have problems nowrdquo said the salesman ldquocan you imagine all the things the bureau-crats would have made us recall back then Commerce would have come to a standstill as

ldquoWhat are you in forrdquo asked the cold-looking culprit as if this was my first day in prison and he was to be my new best friend my cell mate But we werenrsquot in jail we were in the lob-by of the dealership where we buy our cars My new friend was a salesman who was hiding ready to pounce like a moun-tain lion on any poor unsuspecting soul who dared set foot in the jungle of the car lot Like a hawk he was looking out the huge plate glass window to spot his prey who had unknowingly ventured into no-manrsquos land He was ready to bolt out the door and be all over any prospective buyer like brown gravy on mashed potatoes

ldquoI received another notice in the mailrdquo

As I Recall

I said ldquothat therersquos

another recall to fix something on my car Hey you look familiar I know you yoursquore the guy who sold me my multi-recalled carrdquo

ldquoWe only issue the recalls for your own safetyrdquo the salesman meekly said

ldquoMaybe so but I hardly see how I was in any danger from a rear windshield wiperrdquo

ldquoWe sent out that recall because the heater that warms the water for your windshield wipers in freezing weather may get hotrdquo

ldquoIsnrsquot that the pointrdquo I asked ldquoAnd I hardly feel like I was in much danger of having a horrendous wreck because I never used that particular feature anyway In fact I never knew the car had that optionrdquo

As the day dragged on I engaged the salesman in chit chat because about the only thing I hate worse than going to the dentist is waiting for my car to be fixed especially in a lobby where the only reading material was Vogue and a Pottery Barn catalog that some other poor sap of the recall class had left behind

No wonder there were no tip jars in this place

I was in familiar ter-ritory though having been here three times before for my fairly new car The first of-

they could have issued recalls for uneven tread wear on horse-shoes loose rivets on harnesses or manure stains on the leather Back then yoursquod have received a telegram that read ldquoThe emis-sion control system on your 1878 model horse may run a little rich when filled with high octane alfalfa This could result in the driver getting exhaust all over his church clothes Please bring in your horse so that the proper adjust-ments can be maderdquo

ldquoOr rdquo I suggestedhellip ldquoWARNING Dear Sir or Madam it has come to our attention that the horse our salesman sold you may have a screw loose and this coupled with the fact that your horse may not have had all the training that our salesman

indicated could result in your engine running away from you Please be advised that should this happen and you did not respond to our recall notice your loss will not be covered by our extensive 3 day or 3 mile guaranteerdquo

ldquoIn the old daysrdquo the used car salesman said ldquothe govern-mentrsquos recall police would have had a field day as horse trad-ers back then had a reputation for saying almost anything to get you to buy a horserdquo

Hmmm Sounds like someone else I know

Finally my car was ready and on my way home I decided to check out the rear windshield wiper so I turned it on Almost immediately my seat started warming up

Onions DevelopingThis is the time of

year that onions grow and develop rapidly Regular watering (if needed) and a light fertilization are helpful to maximize growth Onions develop so that as much as 23 of the bulb remains out of the soil There is normal and there is no need to cover the bulb with soil

Some varieties of onions are nearing har-vest time when the tops begin to fall over Oth-

ers may not be ready to harvest for about a month You may wish to break over the tops that havenrsquot fallen to encourage drying of the neck Allow a few days to pass and then dig the onions to insure they donrsquot sunburn Temporarily store them in a dry well-venti-lated area for a week or two before cutting the tops to insure the necks are complete-ly dry Remove the foliage (or braid the

leaves) and store in a cool dry location (Ward Upham)

Deadheading Flowers

Some plants will bloom more profusely if the old spent flowers are removed a process called deadheading Annuals especially focus their energy on seed production to insure that the species survives If you remove old flowers the ener-gy normally used to produce seed is now available to produce

more flowers Perenni-als can also benefit by lengthening the bloom-ing season However some gardeners enjoy the look of spent flow-ers of perennials such as sedum or purple coneflower Also the seed produced can be a good food source for birds

Not all plants need to be deadheaded including sedum lsquoAutumn Joyrsquo melam-podium impatiens most flowering vines Lythrum periwin-kle (Catharanthus)

and wishbone flower (Torenia) Those that do increase bloom in response to dead-heading include hardy geraniums coreopsis petunias marigolds snapdragons bego-nias roses campan-ulas blanket flowers delphiniums zinnias sweet peas salvia scabiosa annual

heliotrope geraniums (Pelargonium) and yarrow

Deadheading is easily accomplished by removing spent flow-ers With some plants pinching between a thumb and finger can do this but tough wiry stems will require a scissors or pruning shears (Ward Upham)

How to register your boatPRATT ndash Summer-

time is boating time and with 24 federal reservoirs and more than 200 community lakes there are plenty of places for Kansans to enjoy being on the water However before you make you make your first trip take a second and make sure your registration is up to date

All boats powered by gas diesel electric motors or sail must be registered and numbered through the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks and

Tourism (KDWPT) for use on public waters Boaters can renew their registrations in person at KDWPT state park and regional offices or boat regis-tration agents (a list of agents by county can be found at wwwksoutdoorscom under ldquoBoatingrdquo)

If you sell a boat you must notify the depart-ment in writing within 15 days If you buy a boat from an individ-ual an application for registration needs to be submitted accom-panied by the previous

ownerrsquos certificate of number or a bill of sale and the registration fee If you buy a boat from a Kansas dealer the application needs to be submitted with a form STD8 or a bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If you buy a boat from an out-of-state dealer the bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If no sales tax was paid go to your county treasurer and pay sales tax then submit that receipt Registration applications can be downloaded from the

KDWPT website filled out and mailed in with the registration fee of $3250 (valid for three years)

The assigned regis-tration number must be painted or permanently attached to each side of the forward top half of the boat Numbers must be vertical block characters at least 3 inches tall that read from left to right A registration decal is issued each time you renew and it includes the year it expires Instructions on how the registration num-bers should appear are available in the Kansas

Boating Regulations Summary or online

Boat registrations expire three years from date of renewal and KDWPT will send out renewal notices six weeks prior to expira-tion

Fees from boat reg-istrations fund boating access education and law enforcement pro-grams and also provide match for federal fund-ing For more informa-tion on boat registra-tion contact your local KDWPT state park or regional office or call 620-672-5911

Spring-Flowering Bulb Foliage Can be Removed

It is important to leave spring-flowering bulb foliage in place until it ldquoripensrdquo or becomes brown The energy produced by the leaves after flow-ering is transferred to the bulb so that it can flower the following year The ripening process should be near completion now for tulips daffodils and various other spring-flowering bulbs Use clippers scissors or even a mower to remove dead foliage Also try to map out where the bulbs are planted as there will be no foliage to make the location next fall when it is time to fertilize (Ward Upham)

Cowboy to Great Beyond

best way to really know Keene There wasnrsquot anything Keene couldnrsquot do and not much he didnrsquot do in his most colorful life not all realized until reading eulogy

That first training job for Keene brought additional clients with his personal calls and notes At retirement age Keene prided as ldquoear manrdquo for Cheyenne Frontier Days wild horse race

With lovely-wife Sue they were regu-lars and buyers at the horse field-day-sale Keene with another half-dozen cowboys photographed ldquoshoot-ing the bullrdquo makes great office wall picture

ldquoCome up and wersquoll go fox huntingrdquo Keenersquos invitation an unforgettable expe-rience ldquoHey I have a saddle I want you haverdquo accepted on a Thanksgiving Day

Keene is a book unwritten yet con-densed here Military family rambunctious teenager fisherman camper explorer hippy motorcyclist Army veteran scuba diver two sonsrsquo dad fiversquos grandpa builder of whatever imagined construction inspector farmer leatherworker horse teamster collec-tor master farrier

Far far from con-clusive Keene simply ldquoan unforgettable character who lived according to his own rules always dreaming big dreamsrdquo

Once more remind-ed of Ecclesiastes 3 ldquoTo everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenhelliprdquo

Kansas farmer testifies on importance of food aid By Brooke Haas Kansas Wheat Communications Intern

On June 7 Ron Sup-pes a Kansas wheat farmer and former US Wheat Associates Chairman testified in front of the House Agriculture Committee on the importance of food aid discussing his recent trip to Tanzania where he viewed pro-grams that used wheat

Suppes is a wheat farmer from Dighton Kansas and food aid is a topic that hits home to him On his recent trip to Tanza-nia Suppes gained more knowledge than ever about wheat food aid programs He then decided to take his knowledge back to America to talk to

farmers about the value these programs offer

For over 60 years the wheat industry has led a helping-hand in being a partner with the US food aid American farmers are proud to share a part with the US food aid and are sharing their crop with the rest of the world

ldquoMore wheat is used in US in-kind aid than any other com-modity averaging 40 percent of the total It is also the most pop-ular commodity for monetizationrdquo said Suppes ldquoIt is a versa-tile product and of key dietary importancemdashbread products are staples in diets around the world Wheat is the source of 20 percent of the worldrsquos caloric

intake and provides 20 percent of protein for the worldrsquos most vulnerable 4 billion peoplerdquo

The US is the top leader of food aid donations and total de-velopment assistance Suppes says the wheat he grows is ldquodoing good half way around the worldrdquo and feels that is something to be proud of

ldquoWhat the world likes about US wheat is the quality as well as the consistency so they donrsquot have to change their mill settings Wersquore the most reliable source of wheat in the world and you go visit these customers we have and theyrsquoll tell you thatrdquo

Food aid continues (Continued on page 15)

(Continued from page 14) to be a powerful tool used to help others in need

Suppes said ldquoIt helps generate good-will in other countries a sentiment I saw first-hand in Tanzania But in the short-term these programs also involve a significant amount of wheat a fact not lost on Kansas farmers with full grain bins and more wheat piled on the ground from last yearrsquos historically high harvestrdquo

ldquoWhile these tools have a place in foreign assistance programs US commodities play an important role in helping regions unable to produce wheat and other commodities on their own due to drought conflict or other circumstancesrdquo he says ldquoWe have enough surplus that no one should be going hungryrdquo

ldquoIn marketing year 201516 we sent almost 600000 metric tons (MT) or about 22 million bushels of HRW as food aid That makes up almost 10 percent of last yearrsquos HRW exports and only Japan Nigeria and Mexico imported more HRWrdquo Suppes says

Suppes says a significant portion of these donations went to Ethiopia because their country was facing famine

Suppes strongly believes that mon-etization is a strong tool that will provide necessary commodi-ties to food-insecure areas and will benefit development programs by ldquogenerating funding from the sales of donat-ed US commoditiesrdquo

Not only does monetization benefit development pro-grams it can also give local small- and medium-sized buyers a competitive advantage because it is priced comparably to what a large buyer would pay

During Suppes trip to Tanzania he saw how the Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring wheat mone-tized there allowed the miller purchasing the wheat to pass along savings to their poorer customers He also visited four of the proj-ects funded by wheat monetization in the country

When asked about the importance of food aid Suppes replied ldquoIrsquom here because I think monetization is very important In fact Irsquom currently planting sorghum right now and my tractor is idle so thatrsquos how important I think it is I need to be here to talk to you about itrdquo

Suppes said in con-clusion ldquoThis is a year when the US wheat farmer has been a world leader in produc-ing a surplus of wheat It is a year when the US needs to be a world leader in helping provide for those in need with these ample suppliesrdquo

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

By John Schlageck Kansas Farm Bureau

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Note to media edi-tors We will provide a specific site location along with accessibility to its owner or subject matter expert Mike Kandt for interviews upon request along with a representative

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

PRATT ndash Do you have what it takes to go handfishing You can find out June 15-Aug 15 during the Kansas handfishing season Other than a strong grip hand-fishing permit and a fishing license all you really need is nerves of steel because yoursquoll be reaching into dark crevices and undercut banks to feel around for a hiding flathead catfish which by the way might weigh more than a 10-year-old lit-

tle league shortstopHandfishing is

allowed only on the Arkansas River the Kansas River from itrsquos origin to the down-stream confluence with the Missouri River and all federal reser-voirs from 150 yards beyond the dam to the upstream end of feder-al property In addition to a fishing license unless exempt hand-fishers must also have a $2750 handfishing permit Handfishers may not use hooks

snorkeling or scuba gear or any man-made device except a string-er Man-made objects such as barrels or tubs may not be used to attract fish

Once a fish is felt a handfisher must try to work a hand in its mouth and grip the fishrsquos lower jaw to bring it to the surface which is just about as difficult as it sounds especially on big fish And then therersquos the mental aspect of handfishing ndash won-

dering what else may be lurking in the dark underwater recesses Thatrsquos where the nerves of steel come in handy

Only flathead catfish are allowed to be caught handfishing and the daily creel limit is five For more informa-tion about handfishing and other types of fishing consult the 2017 Kansas Fishing Regulations Summary available wherever licenses are sold and at wwwksoutdoorscom

There is no future in giving up

That was the mes-sage of strength courage and determi-nation presented to college rodeo cowboys and cowgirls at the banquet of the K-State Rodeo Club in Man-hattan

Amberley Snyder is a barrel racer who has fought her way back from tragedy inspiring all of America to ldquoGet Back on the Horserdquo

Telling her inspi-rational story while competing in rodeos across the United States Snyder let the challenges she faced refine her not define her

Snyder was voted the fan exemption contestant at the worldrsquos richest one day rodeo RFD-TVrsquos The American in Dallas

Competing with the best in the world Snyder received a standing ovation from 40000 spectators winning the hearts of America for turning tragedy into triumph

Snyder had major positive momentum in life after quali-fying for the 2009 National High School Rodeo Finals in pole bending winning the National Little Britch-es Rodeo Association all-around cowgirl title and being elected Utah FFA state pres-ident

Everything was go-ing great Snyder told K-State Rodeo Club members alumni and friends at the banquet

Those dreams were temporarily dashed on January 10 2010 Snyder was driving to the Den-ver Stock Show and Rodeo looked down at a map faded into the other lane overcor-rected and rolled her pickup at 75 miles-per-hour

Not wearing a seat belt Snyder was eject-ed and slammed into a fence post that broke her back Following five hours of emer-gency surgery the

doctors prognosis was Snyder would never regain use or feeling below her waist

During one of Snyderrsquos many physi-cal therapy sessions a therapist asked Snyder for three goals She answered Walk ride and rodeo

Remarkably only 18 months after the accident Snyder was back on her horse Setting many goals she discovered the ladder on her horse trailer provided a means for pulling her-self up on her horse

With determination Snyder again com-peted in college and professional rodeos Graduating in 2015 with a bachelors degree in agricul-ture education shersquos pursuing a masters in counseling

According to Sny-der the 2009 accident taught her one most important lesson and her overarching mes-sage ldquoAttitude is a little thing that makes a big differencerdquo

K-State Animal Sciences amp Industry (ASampI) Head Ken Odde is retiring from that position He was recognized during the banquet for his lead-ership role in taking K-State rodeo to a new level

Ken Odde has established a strong relationship between his department and the K-State Rodeo Club and Team said Clarke Jackman Baldwin City chair-man of the K-State Rodeo Advisory Council

Some monumen-tal steps in the rodeo programs recent advancement would not have been possible without Kens support and guidance Jack-man insisted

During Oddes leadership the de-partment worked with the club and advisory council to bring the rodeo team practice facilities and horse housing on-campus

Rodeo student ath-letes now keep their horses in stalls and runs adjacent to Burtis Arena just north of Kimball Avenue The team has regular prac-tices at the facility

Another of Oddes major contri-butions to the program was hiring K-States first-ever full-time ro-deo coach on the ASampI staff Casy Winn just completed his second school year as rodeo coach and equine instructor

I am proud of the job Coach Winn has done in this posi-tion said Odde who was named ASampI head in early 2007

The K-State Rodeo Club had a successful year under the leader-ship of President Ca-sey Adams who gradu-ated last month with a

degree in finance Among the major

accomplishments this year were hosting one of the most highly-at-tended college rodeos in the country raising funds for the club and team through events including a fall team roping Iron Woman competition ranch rodeo bull riding clin-ic a barrel race and funding another row of stalls at Burtis Arena

Club and team members of the year were recognized Male club member of the year is Blade Winter who served as stock co-chair while the top female club member is Brooke Wallace the 2016 Miss Rodeo K-State

Male team member of the year is junior Dixon Winn who finished 14th in the

Central Plains Region in bull riding and also competed in team roping calf roping and steer wrestling

Kinzie Alexander freshman who compet-ed in breakaway rop-ing and team roping at the college rodeos was the female team member of the year

The 2017-18 K-State Rodeo Exec-utive Board will be headed by President Milan Hunter junior

from Buffalo Creek Colorado

Other new board members are Kinzie Alexander presi-dent-elect Reiny Ostrander vice pres-ident Bailey Jeffries secretary Blade Winter treasurer Emily Ebert Miss Rodeo K-State Kealey Dwyer social chair Cassidy Hill advertis-ing chair Sponsorship Chair Jacob Grinstead (Continued on page 9)

fense the recall police flagged me for was for a defect in my heated seat which was an-other feature I didnrsquot know I possessed except when I ate extremely spicy foods of course The other time was for a defec-tive sensor that read my cabin temperature which posed as much danger to my person as a good steak and a glass of wine These government-mandat-ed recalls get a little old after awhile and I guess the car salesman sensed my disgust as I was looking fondly at the old photographs of horses and carriages on the walls

ldquoIf you think you have problems nowrdquo said the salesman ldquocan you imagine all the things the bureau-crats would have made us recall back then Commerce would have come to a standstill as

ldquoWhat are you in forrdquo asked the cold-looking culprit as if this was my first day in prison and he was to be my new best friend my cell mate But we werenrsquot in jail we were in the lob-by of the dealership where we buy our cars My new friend was a salesman who was hiding ready to pounce like a moun-tain lion on any poor unsuspecting soul who dared set foot in the jungle of the car lot Like a hawk he was looking out the huge plate glass window to spot his prey who had unknowingly ventured into no-manrsquos land He was ready to bolt out the door and be all over any prospective buyer like brown gravy on mashed potatoes

ldquoI received another notice in the mailrdquo

As I Recall

I said ldquothat therersquos

another recall to fix something on my car Hey you look familiar I know you yoursquore the guy who sold me my multi-recalled carrdquo

ldquoWe only issue the recalls for your own safetyrdquo the salesman meekly said

ldquoMaybe so but I hardly see how I was in any danger from a rear windshield wiperrdquo

ldquoWe sent out that recall because the heater that warms the water for your windshield wipers in freezing weather may get hotrdquo

ldquoIsnrsquot that the pointrdquo I asked ldquoAnd I hardly feel like I was in much danger of having a horrendous wreck because I never used that particular feature anyway In fact I never knew the car had that optionrdquo

As the day dragged on I engaged the salesman in chit chat because about the only thing I hate worse than going to the dentist is waiting for my car to be fixed especially in a lobby where the only reading material was Vogue and a Pottery Barn catalog that some other poor sap of the recall class had left behind

No wonder there were no tip jars in this place

I was in familiar ter-ritory though having been here three times before for my fairly new car The first of-

they could have issued recalls for uneven tread wear on horse-shoes loose rivets on harnesses or manure stains on the leather Back then yoursquod have received a telegram that read ldquoThe emis-sion control system on your 1878 model horse may run a little rich when filled with high octane alfalfa This could result in the driver getting exhaust all over his church clothes Please bring in your horse so that the proper adjust-ments can be maderdquo

ldquoOr rdquo I suggestedhellip ldquoWARNING Dear Sir or Madam it has come to our attention that the horse our salesman sold you may have a screw loose and this coupled with the fact that your horse may not have had all the training that our salesman

indicated could result in your engine running away from you Please be advised that should this happen and you did not respond to our recall notice your loss will not be covered by our extensive 3 day or 3 mile guaranteerdquo

ldquoIn the old daysrdquo the used car salesman said ldquothe govern-mentrsquos recall police would have had a field day as horse trad-ers back then had a reputation for saying almost anything to get you to buy a horserdquo

Hmmm Sounds like someone else I know

Finally my car was ready and on my way home I decided to check out the rear windshield wiper so I turned it on Almost immediately my seat started warming up

Onions DevelopingThis is the time of

year that onions grow and develop rapidly Regular watering (if needed) and a light fertilization are helpful to maximize growth Onions develop so that as much as 23 of the bulb remains out of the soil There is normal and there is no need to cover the bulb with soil

Some varieties of onions are nearing har-vest time when the tops begin to fall over Oth-

ers may not be ready to harvest for about a month You may wish to break over the tops that havenrsquot fallen to encourage drying of the neck Allow a few days to pass and then dig the onions to insure they donrsquot sunburn Temporarily store them in a dry well-venti-lated area for a week or two before cutting the tops to insure the necks are complete-ly dry Remove the foliage (or braid the

leaves) and store in a cool dry location (Ward Upham)

Deadheading Flowers

Some plants will bloom more profusely if the old spent flowers are removed a process called deadheading Annuals especially focus their energy on seed production to insure that the species survives If you remove old flowers the ener-gy normally used to produce seed is now available to produce

more flowers Perenni-als can also benefit by lengthening the bloom-ing season However some gardeners enjoy the look of spent flow-ers of perennials such as sedum or purple coneflower Also the seed produced can be a good food source for birds

Not all plants need to be deadheaded including sedum lsquoAutumn Joyrsquo melam-podium impatiens most flowering vines Lythrum periwin-kle (Catharanthus)

and wishbone flower (Torenia) Those that do increase bloom in response to dead-heading include hardy geraniums coreopsis petunias marigolds snapdragons bego-nias roses campan-ulas blanket flowers delphiniums zinnias sweet peas salvia scabiosa annual

heliotrope geraniums (Pelargonium) and yarrow

Deadheading is easily accomplished by removing spent flow-ers With some plants pinching between a thumb and finger can do this but tough wiry stems will require a scissors or pruning shears (Ward Upham)

How to register your boatPRATT ndash Summer-

time is boating time and with 24 federal reservoirs and more than 200 community lakes there are plenty of places for Kansans to enjoy being on the water However before you make you make your first trip take a second and make sure your registration is up to date

All boats powered by gas diesel electric motors or sail must be registered and numbered through the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks and

Tourism (KDWPT) for use on public waters Boaters can renew their registrations in person at KDWPT state park and regional offices or boat regis-tration agents (a list of agents by county can be found at wwwksoutdoorscom under ldquoBoatingrdquo)

If you sell a boat you must notify the depart-ment in writing within 15 days If you buy a boat from an individ-ual an application for registration needs to be submitted accom-panied by the previous

ownerrsquos certificate of number or a bill of sale and the registration fee If you buy a boat from a Kansas dealer the application needs to be submitted with a form STD8 or a bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If you buy a boat from an out-of-state dealer the bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If no sales tax was paid go to your county treasurer and pay sales tax then submit that receipt Registration applications can be downloaded from the

KDWPT website filled out and mailed in with the registration fee of $3250 (valid for three years)

The assigned regis-tration number must be painted or permanently attached to each side of the forward top half of the boat Numbers must be vertical block characters at least 3 inches tall that read from left to right A registration decal is issued each time you renew and it includes the year it expires Instructions on how the registration num-bers should appear are available in the Kansas

Boating Regulations Summary or online

Boat registrations expire three years from date of renewal and KDWPT will send out renewal notices six weeks prior to expira-tion

Fees from boat reg-istrations fund boating access education and law enforcement pro-grams and also provide match for federal fund-ing For more informa-tion on boat registra-tion contact your local KDWPT state park or regional office or call 620-672-5911

Spring-Flowering Bulb Foliage Can be Removed

It is important to leave spring-flowering bulb foliage in place until it ldquoripensrdquo or becomes brown The energy produced by the leaves after flow-ering is transferred to the bulb so that it can flower the following year The ripening process should be near completion now for tulips daffodils and various other spring-flowering bulbs Use clippers scissors or even a mower to remove dead foliage Also try to map out where the bulbs are planted as there will be no foliage to make the location next fall when it is time to fertilize (Ward Upham)

Cowboy to Great Beyond

best way to really know Keene There wasnrsquot anything Keene couldnrsquot do and not much he didnrsquot do in his most colorful life not all realized until reading eulogy

That first training job for Keene brought additional clients with his personal calls and notes At retirement age Keene prided as ldquoear manrdquo for Cheyenne Frontier Days wild horse race

With lovely-wife Sue they were regu-lars and buyers at the horse field-day-sale Keene with another half-dozen cowboys photographed ldquoshoot-ing the bullrdquo makes great office wall picture

ldquoCome up and wersquoll go fox huntingrdquo Keenersquos invitation an unforgettable expe-rience ldquoHey I have a saddle I want you haverdquo accepted on a Thanksgiving Day

Kansas farmer testifies on importance of food aid By Brooke Haas Kansas Wheat Communications Intern

On June 7 Ron Sup-pes a Kansas wheat farmer and former US Wheat Associates Chairman testified in front of the House Agriculture Committee on the importance of food aid discussing his recent trip to Tanzania where he viewed pro-grams that used wheat

Suppes is a wheat farmer from Dighton Kansas and food aid is a topic that hits home to him On his recent trip to Tanza-nia Suppes gained more knowledge than ever about wheat food aid programs He then decided to take his knowledge back to America to talk to

farmers about the value these programs offer

For over 60 years the wheat industry has led a helping-hand in being a partner with the US food aid American farmers are proud to share a part with the US food aid and are sharing their crop with the rest of the world

ldquoMore wheat is used in US in-kind aid than any other com-modity averaging 40 percent of the total It is also the most pop-ular commodity for monetizationrdquo said Suppes ldquoIt is a versa-tile product and of key dietary importancemdashbread products are staples in diets around the world Wheat is the source of 20 percent of the worldrsquos caloric

intake and provides 20 percent of protein for the worldrsquos most vulnerable 4 billion peoplerdquo

The US is the top leader of food aid donations and total de-velopment assistance Suppes says the wheat he grows is ldquodoing good half way around the worldrdquo and feels that is something to be proud of

ldquoWhat the world likes about US wheat is the quality as well as the consistency so they donrsquot have to change their mill settings Wersquore the most reliable source of wheat in the world and you go visit these customers we have and theyrsquoll tell you thatrdquo

Food aid continues (Continued on page 15)

(Continued from page 14) to be a powerful tool used to help others in need

Suppes said ldquoIt helps generate good-will in other countries a sentiment I saw first-hand in Tanzania But in the short-term these programs also involve a significant amount of wheat a fact not lost on Kansas farmers with full grain bins and more wheat piled on the ground from last yearrsquos historically high harvestrdquo

ldquoWhile these tools have a place in foreign assistance programs US commodities play an important role in helping regions unable to produce wheat and other commodities on their own due to drought conflict or other circumstancesrdquo he says ldquoWe have enough surplus that no one should be going hungryrdquo

ldquoIn marketing year 201516 we sent almost 600000 metric tons (MT) or about 22 million bushels of HRW as food aid That makes up almost 10 percent of last yearrsquos HRW exports and only Japan Nigeria and Mexico imported more HRWrdquo Suppes says

Suppes says a significant portion of these donations went to Ethiopia because their country was facing famine

Suppes strongly believes that mon-etization is a strong tool that will provide necessary commodi-ties to food-insecure areas and will benefit development programs by ldquogenerating funding from the sales of donat-ed US commoditiesrdquo

Not only does monetization benefit development pro-grams it can also give local small- and medium-sized buyers a competitive advantage because it is priced comparably to what a large buyer would pay

During Suppes trip to Tanzania he saw how the Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring wheat mone-tized there allowed the miller purchasing the wheat to pass along savings to their poorer customers He also visited four of the proj-ects funded by wheat monetization in the country

When asked about the importance of food aid Suppes replied ldquoIrsquom here because I think monetization is very important In fact Irsquom currently planting sorghum right now and my tractor is idle so thatrsquos how important I think it is I need to be here to talk to you about itrdquo

Suppes said in con-clusion ldquoThis is a year when the US wheat farmer has been a world leader in produc-ing a surplus of wheat It is a year when the US needs to be a world leader in helping provide for those in need with these ample suppliesrdquo

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

By John Schlageck Kansas Farm Bureau

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Note to media edi-tors We will provide a specific site location along with accessibility to its owner or subject matter expert Mike Kandt for interviews upon request along with a representative

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

PRATT ndash Do you have what it takes to go handfishing You can find out June 15-Aug 15 during the Kansas handfishing season Other than a strong grip hand-fishing permit and a fishing license all you really need is nerves of steel because yoursquoll be reaching into dark crevices and undercut banks to feel around for a hiding flathead catfish which by the way might weigh more than a 10-year-old lit-

tle league shortstopHandfishing is

allowed only on the Arkansas River the Kansas River from itrsquos origin to the down-stream confluence with the Missouri River and all federal reser-voirs from 150 yards beyond the dam to the upstream end of feder-al property In addition to a fishing license unless exempt hand-fishers must also have a $2750 handfishing permit Handfishers may not use hooks

snorkeling or scuba gear or any man-made device except a string-er Man-made objects such as barrels or tubs may not be used to attract fish

Once a fish is felt a handfisher must try to work a hand in its mouth and grip the fishrsquos lower jaw to bring it to the surface which is just about as difficult as it sounds especially on big fish And then therersquos the mental aspect of handfishing ndash won-

dering what else may be lurking in the dark underwater recesses Thatrsquos where the nerves of steel come in handy

Only flathead catfish are allowed to be caught handfishing and the daily creel limit is five For more informa-tion about handfishing and other types of fishing consult the 2017 Kansas Fishing Regulations Summary available wherever licenses are sold and at wwwksoutdoorscom

There is no future in giving up

That was the mes-sage of strength courage and determi-nation presented to college rodeo cowboys and cowgirls at the banquet of the K-State Rodeo Club in Man-hattan

Amberley Snyder is a barrel racer who has fought her way back from tragedy inspiring all of America to ldquoGet Back on the Horserdquo

Telling her inspi-rational story while competing in rodeos across the United States Snyder let the challenges she faced refine her not define her

Snyder was voted the fan exemption contestant at the worldrsquos richest one day rodeo RFD-TVrsquos The American in Dallas

Competing with the best in the world Snyder received a standing ovation from 40000 spectators winning the hearts of America for turning tragedy into triumph

Snyder had major positive momentum in life after quali-fying for the 2009 National High School Rodeo Finals in pole bending winning the National Little Britch-es Rodeo Association all-around cowgirl title and being elected Utah FFA state pres-ident

Everything was go-ing great Snyder told K-State Rodeo Club members alumni and friends at the banquet

Those dreams were temporarily dashed on January 10 2010 Snyder was driving to the Den-ver Stock Show and Rodeo looked down at a map faded into the other lane overcor-rected and rolled her pickup at 75 miles-per-hour

Not wearing a seat belt Snyder was eject-ed and slammed into a fence post that broke her back Following five hours of emer-gency surgery the

doctors prognosis was Snyder would never regain use or feeling below her waist

During one of Snyderrsquos many physi-cal therapy sessions a therapist asked Snyder for three goals She answered Walk ride and rodeo

Remarkably only 18 months after the accident Snyder was back on her horse Setting many goals she discovered the ladder on her horse trailer provided a means for pulling her-self up on her horse

With determination Snyder again com-peted in college and professional rodeos Graduating in 2015 with a bachelors degree in agricul-ture education shersquos pursuing a masters in counseling

According to Sny-der the 2009 accident taught her one most important lesson and her overarching mes-sage ldquoAttitude is a little thing that makes a big differencerdquo

K-State Animal Sciences amp Industry (ASampI) Head Ken Odde is retiring from that position He was recognized during the banquet for his lead-ership role in taking K-State rodeo to a new level

Ken Odde has established a strong relationship between his department and the K-State Rodeo Club and Team said Clarke Jackman Baldwin City chair-man of the K-State Rodeo Advisory Council

Some monumen-tal steps in the rodeo programs recent advancement would not have been possible without Kens support and guidance Jack-man insisted

During Oddes leadership the de-partment worked with the club and advisory council to bring the rodeo team practice facilities and horse housing on-campus

Rodeo student ath-letes now keep their horses in stalls and runs adjacent to Burtis Arena just north of Kimball Avenue The team has regular prac-tices at the facility

Another of Oddes major contri-butions to the program was hiring K-States first-ever full-time ro-deo coach on the ASampI staff Casy Winn just completed his second school year as rodeo coach and equine instructor

I am proud of the job Coach Winn has done in this posi-tion said Odde who was named ASampI head in early 2007

The K-State Rodeo Club had a successful year under the leader-ship of President Ca-sey Adams who gradu-ated last month with a

degree in finance Among the major

accomplishments this year were hosting one of the most highly-at-tended college rodeos in the country raising funds for the club and team through events including a fall team roping Iron Woman competition ranch rodeo bull riding clin-ic a barrel race and funding another row of stalls at Burtis Arena

Club and team members of the year were recognized Male club member of the year is Blade Winter who served as stock co-chair while the top female club member is Brooke Wallace the 2016 Miss Rodeo K-State

Male team member of the year is junior Dixon Winn who finished 14th in the

Central Plains Region in bull riding and also competed in team roping calf roping and steer wrestling

Kinzie Alexander freshman who compet-ed in breakaway rop-ing and team roping at the college rodeos was the female team member of the year

The 2017-18 K-State Rodeo Exec-utive Board will be headed by President Milan Hunter junior

from Buffalo Creek Colorado

Other new board members are Kinzie Alexander presi-dent-elect Reiny Ostrander vice pres-ident Bailey Jeffries secretary Blade Winter treasurer Emily Ebert Miss Rodeo K-State Kealey Dwyer social chair Cassidy Hill advertis-ing chair Sponsorship Chair Jacob Grinstead (Continued on page 9)

fense the recall police flagged me for was for a defect in my heated seat which was an-other feature I didnrsquot know I possessed except when I ate extremely spicy foods of course The other time was for a defec-tive sensor that read my cabin temperature which posed as much danger to my person as a good steak and a glass of wine These government-mandat-ed recalls get a little old after awhile and I guess the car salesman sensed my disgust as I was looking fondly at the old photographs of horses and carriages on the walls

ldquoIf you think you have problems nowrdquo said the salesman ldquocan you imagine all the things the bureau-crats would have made us recall back then Commerce would have come to a standstill as

ldquoWhat are you in forrdquo asked the cold-looking culprit as if this was my first day in prison and he was to be my new best friend my cell mate But we werenrsquot in jail we were in the lob-by of the dealership where we buy our cars My new friend was a salesman who was hiding ready to pounce like a moun-tain lion on any poor unsuspecting soul who dared set foot in the jungle of the car lot Like a hawk he was looking out the huge plate glass window to spot his prey who had unknowingly ventured into no-manrsquos land He was ready to bolt out the door and be all over any prospective buyer like brown gravy on mashed potatoes

ldquoI received another notice in the mailrdquo

As I Recall

I said ldquothat therersquos

another recall to fix something on my car Hey you look familiar I know you yoursquore the guy who sold me my multi-recalled carrdquo

ldquoWe only issue the recalls for your own safetyrdquo the salesman meekly said

ldquoMaybe so but I hardly see how I was in any danger from a rear windshield wiperrdquo

ldquoWe sent out that recall because the heater that warms the water for your windshield wipers in freezing weather may get hotrdquo

ldquoIsnrsquot that the pointrdquo I asked ldquoAnd I hardly feel like I was in much danger of having a horrendous wreck because I never used that particular feature anyway In fact I never knew the car had that optionrdquo

As the day dragged on I engaged the salesman in chit chat because about the only thing I hate worse than going to the dentist is waiting for my car to be fixed especially in a lobby where the only reading material was Vogue and a Pottery Barn catalog that some other poor sap of the recall class had left behind

No wonder there were no tip jars in this place

I was in familiar ter-ritory though having been here three times before for my fairly new car The first of-

they could have issued recalls for uneven tread wear on horse-shoes loose rivets on harnesses or manure stains on the leather Back then yoursquod have received a telegram that read ldquoThe emis-sion control system on your 1878 model horse may run a little rich when filled with high octane alfalfa This could result in the driver getting exhaust all over his church clothes Please bring in your horse so that the proper adjust-ments can be maderdquo

ldquoOr rdquo I suggestedhellip ldquoWARNING Dear Sir or Madam it has come to our attention that the horse our salesman sold you may have a screw loose and this coupled with the fact that your horse may not have had all the training that our salesman

indicated could result in your engine running away from you Please be advised that should this happen and you did not respond to our recall notice your loss will not be covered by our extensive 3 day or 3 mile guaranteerdquo

ldquoIn the old daysrdquo the used car salesman said ldquothe govern-mentrsquos recall police would have had a field day as horse trad-ers back then had a reputation for saying almost anything to get you to buy a horserdquo

Hmmm Sounds like someone else I know

Finally my car was ready and on my way home I decided to check out the rear windshield wiper so I turned it on Almost immediately my seat started warming up

Onions DevelopingThis is the time of

year that onions grow and develop rapidly Regular watering (if needed) and a light fertilization are helpful to maximize growth Onions develop so that as much as 23 of the bulb remains out of the soil There is normal and there is no need to cover the bulb with soil

Some varieties of onions are nearing har-vest time when the tops begin to fall over Oth-

ers may not be ready to harvest for about a month You may wish to break over the tops that havenrsquot fallen to encourage drying of the neck Allow a few days to pass and then dig the onions to insure they donrsquot sunburn Temporarily store them in a dry well-venti-lated area for a week or two before cutting the tops to insure the necks are complete-ly dry Remove the foliage (or braid the

leaves) and store in a cool dry location (Ward Upham)

Deadheading Flowers

Some plants will bloom more profusely if the old spent flowers are removed a process called deadheading Annuals especially focus their energy on seed production to insure that the species survives If you remove old flowers the ener-gy normally used to produce seed is now available to produce

more flowers Perenni-als can also benefit by lengthening the bloom-ing season However some gardeners enjoy the look of spent flow-ers of perennials such as sedum or purple coneflower Also the seed produced can be a good food source for birds

Not all plants need to be deadheaded including sedum lsquoAutumn Joyrsquo melam-podium impatiens most flowering vines Lythrum periwin-kle (Catharanthus)

and wishbone flower (Torenia) Those that do increase bloom in response to dead-heading include hardy geraniums coreopsis petunias marigolds snapdragons bego-nias roses campan-ulas blanket flowers delphiniums zinnias sweet peas salvia scabiosa annual

heliotrope geraniums (Pelargonium) and yarrow

Deadheading is easily accomplished by removing spent flow-ers With some plants pinching between a thumb and finger can do this but tough wiry stems will require a scissors or pruning shears (Ward Upham)

How to register your boatPRATT ndash Summer-

time is boating time and with 24 federal reservoirs and more than 200 community lakes there are plenty of places for Kansans to enjoy being on the water However before you make you make your first trip take a second and make sure your registration is up to date

All boats powered by gas diesel electric motors or sail must be registered and numbered through the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks and

Tourism (KDWPT) for use on public waters Boaters can renew their registrations in person at KDWPT state park and regional offices or boat regis-tration agents (a list of agents by county can be found at wwwksoutdoorscom under ldquoBoatingrdquo)

If you sell a boat you must notify the depart-ment in writing within 15 days If you buy a boat from an individ-ual an application for registration needs to be submitted accom-panied by the previous

ownerrsquos certificate of number or a bill of sale and the registration fee If you buy a boat from a Kansas dealer the application needs to be submitted with a form STD8 or a bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If you buy a boat from an out-of-state dealer the bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If no sales tax was paid go to your county treasurer and pay sales tax then submit that receipt Registration applications can be downloaded from the

KDWPT website filled out and mailed in with the registration fee of $3250 (valid for three years)

The assigned regis-tration number must be painted or permanently attached to each side of the forward top half of the boat Numbers must be vertical block characters at least 3 inches tall that read from left to right A registration decal is issued each time you renew and it includes the year it expires Instructions on how the registration num-bers should appear are available in the Kansas

Boating Regulations Summary or online

Boat registrations expire three years from date of renewal and KDWPT will send out renewal notices six weeks prior to expira-tion

Fees from boat reg-istrations fund boating access education and law enforcement pro-grams and also provide match for federal fund-ing For more informa-tion on boat registra-tion contact your local KDWPT state park or regional office or call 620-672-5911

Spring-Flowering Bulb Foliage Can be Removed

It is important to leave spring-flowering bulb foliage in place until it ldquoripensrdquo or becomes brown The energy produced by the leaves after flow-ering is transferred to the bulb so that it can flower the following year The ripening process should be near completion now for tulips daffodils and various other spring-flowering bulbs Use clippers scissors or even a mower to remove dead foliage Also try to map out where the bulbs are planted as there will be no foliage to make the location next fall when it is time to fertilize (Ward Upham)

Cowboy to Great Beyond

best way to really know Keene There wasnrsquot anything Keene couldnrsquot do and not much he didnrsquot do in his most colorful life not all realized until reading eulogy

That first training job for Keene brought additional clients with his personal calls and notes At retirement age Keene prided as ldquoear manrdquo for Cheyenne Frontier Days wild horse race

With lovely-wife Sue they were regu-lars and buyers at the horse field-day-sale Keene with another half-dozen cowboys photographed ldquoshoot-ing the bullrdquo makes great office wall picture

ldquoCome up and wersquoll go fox huntingrdquo Keenersquos invitation an unforgettable expe-rience ldquoHey I have a saddle I want you haverdquo accepted on a Thanksgiving Day

Keene is a book unwritten yet con-densed here Military family rambunctious teenager fisherman camper explorer hippy motorcyclist Army veteran scuba diver two sonsrsquo dad fiversquos grandpa builder of whatever imagined construction inspector farmer leatherworker horse teamster collec-tor master farrier

Far far from con-clusive Keene simply ldquoan unforgettable character who lived according to his own rules always dreaming big dreamsrdquo

Once more remind-ed of Ecclesiastes 3 ldquoTo everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenhelliprdquo

ldquoSay I have a couple of broncs I got from a rodeo contrac-tor up northwest They wouldnrsquot buck and I want you to break rsquoem to riderdquo

That was first in-troduction to Keene more than a dozen years ago It was beginning of a real cowboy friendship great comradery with a most unique talented individual

Only realizing hersquod passed last month after seeing an estate auction advertisement it was truly heartfelt loss

All of the Keene experiences were instantly reflected Smile automatically uncontrollably spreads just remembering

Roaring into the ranch yard diving out of the pickup Keene was all grins unload-ing those horses to train ldquoRodeo broncsrdquo was no exaggeration at least in appearance

Donrsquot know how old but big rugged scarred branded rough hair tangled long manes tails un-trimmed at-least-shoe-size-four-feet roan draft horses

Tales of the horses his lifersquos adventures flowed as now-broad-er-grinning Keene aired meager expec-tations ldquoYou get rsquoem started and Irsquoll ride rsquoemrdquo promise taken lightly

Never ldquogentle giantsrdquo the ldquobroncsrdquo were rideable with enough cowboy try Keene had that Not perfect they did ev-erything cattle work trail rides fox hunts pulled wagons what-ever their big cow-boy-owner decided

Kansas farmer testifies on importance of food aid By Brooke Haas Kansas Wheat Communications Intern

On June 7 Ron Sup-pes a Kansas wheat farmer and former US Wheat Associates Chairman testified in front of the House Agriculture Committee on the importance of food aid discussing his recent trip to Tanzania where he viewed pro-grams that used wheat

Suppes is a wheat farmer from Dighton Kansas and food aid is a topic that hits home to him On his recent trip to Tanza-nia Suppes gained more knowledge than ever about wheat food aid programs He then decided to take his knowledge back to America to talk to

farmers about the value these programs offer

For over 60 years the wheat industry has led a helping-hand in being a partner with the US food aid American farmers are proud to share a part with the US food aid and are sharing their crop with the rest of the world

ldquoMore wheat is used in US in-kind aid than any other com-modity averaging 40 percent of the total It is also the most pop-ular commodity for monetizationrdquo said Suppes ldquoIt is a versa-tile product and of key dietary importancemdashbread products are staples in diets around the world Wheat is the source of 20 percent of the worldrsquos caloric

intake and provides 20 percent of protein for the worldrsquos most vulnerable 4 billion peoplerdquo

The US is the top leader of food aid donations and total de-velopment assistance Suppes says the wheat he grows is ldquodoing good half way around the worldrdquo and feels that is something to be proud of

ldquoWhat the world likes about US wheat is the quality as well as the consistency so they donrsquot have to change their mill settings Wersquore the most reliable source of wheat in the world and you go visit these customers we have and theyrsquoll tell you thatrdquo

Food aid continues (Continued on page 15)

(Continued from page 14) to be a powerful tool used to help others in need

Suppes said ldquoIt helps generate good-will in other countries a sentiment I saw first-hand in Tanzania But in the short-term these programs also involve a significant amount of wheat a fact not lost on Kansas farmers with full grain bins and more wheat piled on the ground from last yearrsquos historically high harvestrdquo

ldquoWhile these tools have a place in foreign assistance programs US commodities play an important role in helping regions unable to produce wheat and other commodities on their own due to drought conflict or other circumstancesrdquo he says ldquoWe have enough surplus that no one should be going hungryrdquo

ldquoIn marketing year 201516 we sent almost 600000 metric tons (MT) or about 22 million bushels of HRW as food aid That makes up almost 10 percent of last yearrsquos HRW exports and only Japan Nigeria and Mexico imported more HRWrdquo Suppes says

Suppes says a significant portion of these donations went to Ethiopia because their country was facing famine

Suppes strongly believes that mon-etization is a strong tool that will provide necessary commodi-ties to food-insecure areas and will benefit development programs by ldquogenerating funding from the sales of donat-ed US commoditiesrdquo

Not only does monetization benefit development pro-grams it can also give local small- and medium-sized buyers a competitive advantage because it is priced comparably to what a large buyer would pay

During Suppes trip to Tanzania he saw how the Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring wheat mone-tized there allowed the miller purchasing the wheat to pass along savings to their poorer customers He also visited four of the proj-ects funded by wheat monetization in the country

When asked about the importance of food aid Suppes replied ldquoIrsquom here because I think monetization is very important In fact Irsquom currently planting sorghum right now and my tractor is idle so thatrsquos how important I think it is I need to be here to talk to you about itrdquo

Suppes said in con-clusion ldquoThis is a year when the US wheat farmer has been a world leader in produc-ing a surplus of wheat It is a year when the US needs to be a world leader in helping provide for those in need with these ample suppliesrdquo

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Note to media edi-tors We will provide a specific site location along with accessibility to its owner or subject matter expert Mike Kandt for interviews upon request along with a representative

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

Exploring Kansas OutdoorsBy Steve Gilliland

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

Rural MessengerPage 30 June 14 2017

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo it might be entered ldquoWe thank the Almighty (Continued on page 31)

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

all that comprise the event come from long ago from a time when hope moved a citizenry to accomplish the incredible

ldquoToday we realize that peo-ple like us are everywhererdquo the journal would say ldquothat

we share involvement in a common history ndash a history of anguish and at times cruel-ty and hardship but also of courage and warmth and rare nobility a history that gives us some feel of ourselves and will help us to endurerdquo

less terrorists ruth-less and our country godless Which leaves our clueless govern-ment fathomless and all us citizens speech-less

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

There is no future in giving up

That was the mes-sage of strength courage and determi-nation presented to college rodeo cowboys and cowgirls at the banquet of the K-State Rodeo Club in Man-hattan

Amberley Snyder is a barrel racer who has fought her way back from tragedy inspiring all of America to ldquoGet Back on the Horserdquo

Telling her inspi-rational story while competing in rodeos across the United States Snyder let the challenges she faced refine her not define her

Snyder was voted the fan exemption contestant at the worldrsquos richest one day rodeo RFD-TVrsquos The American in Dallas

Competing with the best in the world Snyder received a standing ovation from 40000 spectators winning the hearts of America for turning tragedy into triumph

Snyder had major positive momentum in life after quali-fying for the 2009 National High School Rodeo Finals in pole bending winning the National Little Britch-es Rodeo Association all-around cowgirl title and being elected Utah FFA state pres-ident

Everything was go-ing great Snyder told K-State Rodeo Club members alumni and friends at the banquet

Those dreams were temporarily dashed on January 10 2010 Snyder was driving to the Den-ver Stock Show and Rodeo looked down at a map faded into the other lane overcor-rected and rolled her pickup at 75 miles-per-hour

Not wearing a seat belt Snyder was eject-ed and slammed into a fence post that broke her back Following five hours of emer-gency surgery the

doctors prognosis was Snyder would never regain use or feeling below her waist

During one of Snyderrsquos many physi-cal therapy sessions a therapist asked Snyder for three goals She answered Walk ride and rodeo

Remarkably only 18 months after the accident Snyder was back on her horse Setting many goals she discovered the ladder on her horse trailer provided a means for pulling her-self up on her horse

With determination Snyder again com-peted in college and professional rodeos Graduating in 2015 with a bachelors degree in agricul-ture education shersquos pursuing a masters in counseling

According to Sny-der the 2009 accident taught her one most important lesson and her overarching mes-sage ldquoAttitude is a little thing that makes a big differencerdquo

K-State Animal Sciences amp Industry (ASampI) Head Ken Odde is retiring from that position He was recognized during the banquet for his lead-ership role in taking K-State rodeo to a new level

Ken Odde has established a strong relationship between his department and the K-State Rodeo Club and Team said Clarke Jackman Baldwin City chair-man of the K-State Rodeo Advisory Council

Some monumen-tal steps in the rodeo programs recent advancement would not have been possible without Kens support and guidance Jack-man insisted

During Oddes leadership the de-partment worked with the club and advisory council to bring the rodeo team practice facilities and horse housing on-campus

Rodeo student ath-letes now keep their horses in stalls and runs adjacent to Burtis Arena just north of Kimball Avenue The team has regular prac-tices at the facility

Another of Oddes major contri-butions to the program was hiring K-States first-ever full-time ro-deo coach on the ASampI staff Casy Winn just completed his second school year as rodeo coach and equine instructor

I am proud of the job Coach Winn has done in this posi-tion said Odde who was named ASampI head in early 2007

The K-State Rodeo Club had a successful year under the leader-ship of President Ca-sey Adams who gradu-ated last month with a

degree in finance Among the major

accomplishments this year were hosting one of the most highly-at-tended college rodeos in the country raising funds for the club and team through events including a fall team roping Iron Woman competition ranch rodeo bull riding clin-ic a barrel race and funding another row of stalls at Burtis Arena

Club and team members of the year were recognized Male club member of the year is Blade Winter who served as stock co-chair while the top female club member is Brooke Wallace the 2016 Miss Rodeo K-State

Male team member of the year is junior Dixon Winn who finished 14th in the

Central Plains Region in bull riding and also competed in team roping calf roping and steer wrestling

Kinzie Alexander freshman who compet-ed in breakaway rop-ing and team roping at the college rodeos was the female team member of the year

The 2017-18 K-State Rodeo Exec-utive Board will be headed by President Milan Hunter junior

from Buffalo Creek Colorado

Other new board members are Kinzie Alexander presi-dent-elect Reiny Ostrander vice pres-ident Bailey Jeffries secretary Blade Winter treasurer Emily Ebert Miss Rodeo K-State Kealey Dwyer social chair Cassidy Hill advertis-ing chair Sponsorship Chair Jacob Grinstead (Continued on page 9)

fense the recall police flagged me for was for a defect in my heated seat which was an-other feature I didnrsquot know I possessed except when I ate extremely spicy foods of course The other time was for a defec-tive sensor that read my cabin temperature which posed as much danger to my person as a good steak and a glass of wine These government-mandat-ed recalls get a little old after awhile and I guess the car salesman sensed my disgust as I was looking fondly at the old photographs of horses and carriages on the walls

ldquoIf you think you have problems nowrdquo said the salesman ldquocan you imagine all the things the bureau-crats would have made us recall back then Commerce would have come to a standstill as

ldquoWhat are you in forrdquo asked the cold-looking culprit as if this was my first day in prison and he was to be my new best friend my cell mate But we werenrsquot in jail we were in the lob-by of the dealership where we buy our cars My new friend was a salesman who was hiding ready to pounce like a moun-tain lion on any poor unsuspecting soul who dared set foot in the jungle of the car lot Like a hawk he was looking out the huge plate glass window to spot his prey who had unknowingly ventured into no-manrsquos land He was ready to bolt out the door and be all over any prospective buyer like brown gravy on mashed potatoes

ldquoI received another notice in the mailrdquo

As I Recall

I said ldquothat therersquos

another recall to fix something on my car Hey you look familiar I know you yoursquore the guy who sold me my multi-recalled carrdquo

ldquoWe only issue the recalls for your own safetyrdquo the salesman meekly said

ldquoMaybe so but I hardly see how I was in any danger from a rear windshield wiperrdquo

ldquoWe sent out that recall because the heater that warms the water for your windshield wipers in freezing weather may get hotrdquo

ldquoIsnrsquot that the pointrdquo I asked ldquoAnd I hardly feel like I was in much danger of having a horrendous wreck because I never used that particular feature anyway In fact I never knew the car had that optionrdquo

As the day dragged on I engaged the salesman in chit chat because about the only thing I hate worse than going to the dentist is waiting for my car to be fixed especially in a lobby where the only reading material was Vogue and a Pottery Barn catalog that some other poor sap of the recall class had left behind

No wonder there were no tip jars in this place

I was in familiar ter-ritory though having been here three times before for my fairly new car The first of-

they could have issued recalls for uneven tread wear on horse-shoes loose rivets on harnesses or manure stains on the leather Back then yoursquod have received a telegram that read ldquoThe emis-sion control system on your 1878 model horse may run a little rich when filled with high octane alfalfa This could result in the driver getting exhaust all over his church clothes Please bring in your horse so that the proper adjust-ments can be maderdquo

ldquoOr rdquo I suggestedhellip ldquoWARNING Dear Sir or Madam it has come to our attention that the horse our salesman sold you may have a screw loose and this coupled with the fact that your horse may not have had all the training that our salesman

indicated could result in your engine running away from you Please be advised that should this happen and you did not respond to our recall notice your loss will not be covered by our extensive 3 day or 3 mile guaranteerdquo

ldquoIn the old daysrdquo the used car salesman said ldquothe govern-mentrsquos recall police would have had a field day as horse trad-ers back then had a reputation for saying almost anything to get you to buy a horserdquo

Hmmm Sounds like someone else I know

Finally my car was ready and on my way home I decided to check out the rear windshield wiper so I turned it on Almost immediately my seat started warming up

Onions DevelopingThis is the time of

year that onions grow and develop rapidly Regular watering (if needed) and a light fertilization are helpful to maximize growth Onions develop so that as much as 23 of the bulb remains out of the soil There is normal and there is no need to cover the bulb with soil

Some varieties of onions are nearing har-vest time when the tops begin to fall over Oth-

ers may not be ready to harvest for about a month You may wish to break over the tops that havenrsquot fallen to encourage drying of the neck Allow a few days to pass and then dig the onions to insure they donrsquot sunburn Temporarily store them in a dry well-venti-lated area for a week or two before cutting the tops to insure the necks are complete-ly dry Remove the foliage (or braid the

leaves) and store in a cool dry location (Ward Upham)

Deadheading Flowers

Some plants will bloom more profusely if the old spent flowers are removed a process called deadheading Annuals especially focus their energy on seed production to insure that the species survives If you remove old flowers the ener-gy normally used to produce seed is now available to produce

more flowers Perenni-als can also benefit by lengthening the bloom-ing season However some gardeners enjoy the look of spent flow-ers of perennials such as sedum or purple coneflower Also the seed produced can be a good food source for birds

Not all plants need to be deadheaded including sedum lsquoAutumn Joyrsquo melam-podium impatiens most flowering vines Lythrum periwin-kle (Catharanthus)

and wishbone flower (Torenia) Those that do increase bloom in response to dead-heading include hardy geraniums coreopsis petunias marigolds snapdragons bego-nias roses campan-ulas blanket flowers delphiniums zinnias sweet peas salvia scabiosa annual

heliotrope geraniums (Pelargonium) and yarrow

Deadheading is easily accomplished by removing spent flow-ers With some plants pinching between a thumb and finger can do this but tough wiry stems will require a scissors or pruning shears (Ward Upham)

How to register your boatPRATT ndash Summer-

time is boating time and with 24 federal reservoirs and more than 200 community lakes there are plenty of places for Kansans to enjoy being on the water However before you make you make your first trip take a second and make sure your registration is up to date

All boats powered by gas diesel electric motors or sail must be registered and numbered through the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks and

Tourism (KDWPT) for use on public waters Boaters can renew their registrations in person at KDWPT state park and regional offices or boat regis-tration agents (a list of agents by county can be found at wwwksoutdoorscom under ldquoBoatingrdquo)

If you sell a boat you must notify the depart-ment in writing within 15 days If you buy a boat from an individ-ual an application for registration needs to be submitted accom-panied by the previous

ownerrsquos certificate of number or a bill of sale and the registration fee If you buy a boat from a Kansas dealer the application needs to be submitted with a form STD8 or a bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If you buy a boat from an out-of-state dealer the bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If no sales tax was paid go to your county treasurer and pay sales tax then submit that receipt Registration applications can be downloaded from the

KDWPT website filled out and mailed in with the registration fee of $3250 (valid for three years)

The assigned regis-tration number must be painted or permanently attached to each side of the forward top half of the boat Numbers must be vertical block characters at least 3 inches tall that read from left to right A registration decal is issued each time you renew and it includes the year it expires Instructions on how the registration num-bers should appear are available in the Kansas

Boating Regulations Summary or online

Boat registrations expire three years from date of renewal and KDWPT will send out renewal notices six weeks prior to expira-tion

Fees from boat reg-istrations fund boating access education and law enforcement pro-grams and also provide match for federal fund-ing For more informa-tion on boat registra-tion contact your local KDWPT state park or regional office or call 620-672-5911

Spring-Flowering Bulb Foliage Can be Removed

It is important to leave spring-flowering bulb foliage in place until it ldquoripensrdquo or becomes brown The energy produced by the leaves after flow-ering is transferred to the bulb so that it can flower the following year The ripening process should be near completion now for tulips daffodils and various other spring-flowering bulbs Use clippers scissors or even a mower to remove dead foliage Also try to map out where the bulbs are planted as there will be no foliage to make the location next fall when it is time to fertilize (Ward Upham)

Cowboy to Great Beyond

best way to really know Keene There wasnrsquot anything Keene couldnrsquot do and not much he didnrsquot do in his most colorful life not all realized until reading eulogy

That first training job for Keene brought additional clients with his personal calls and notes At retirement age Keene prided as ldquoear manrdquo for Cheyenne Frontier Days wild horse race

With lovely-wife Sue they were regu-lars and buyers at the horse field-day-sale Keene with another half-dozen cowboys photographed ldquoshoot-ing the bullrdquo makes great office wall picture

ldquoCome up and wersquoll go fox huntingrdquo Keenersquos invitation an unforgettable expe-rience ldquoHey I have a saddle I want you haverdquo accepted on a Thanksgiving Day

Keene is a book unwritten yet con-densed here Military family rambunctious teenager fisherman camper explorer hippy motorcyclist Army veteran scuba diver two sonsrsquo dad fiversquos grandpa builder of whatever imagined construction inspector farmer leatherworker horse teamster collec-tor master farrier

Far far from con-clusive Keene simply ldquoan unforgettable character who lived according to his own rules always dreaming big dreamsrdquo

Once more remind-ed of Ecclesiastes 3 ldquoTo everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenhelliprdquo

That was first in-troduction to Keene more than a dozen years ago It was beginning of a real cowboy friendship great comradery with a most unique talented individual

Only realizing hersquod passed last month after seeing an estate auction advertisement it was truly heartfelt loss

All of the Keene experiences were instantly reflected Smile automatically uncontrollably spreads just remembering

Roaring into the ranch yard diving out of the pickup Keene was all grins unload-ing those horses to train ldquoRodeo broncsrdquo was no exaggeration at least in appearance

Donrsquot know how old but big rugged scarred branded rough hair tangled long manes tails un-trimmed at-least-shoe-size-four-feet roan draft horses

Tales of the horses his lifersquos adventures flowed as now-broad-er-grinning Keene aired meager expec-tations ldquoYou get rsquoem started and Irsquoll ride rsquoemrdquo promise taken lightly

Kansas farmer testifies on importance of food aid By Brooke Haas Kansas Wheat Communications Intern

On June 7 Ron Sup-pes a Kansas wheat farmer and former US Wheat Associates Chairman testified in front of the House Agriculture Committee on the importance of food aid discussing his recent trip to Tanzania where he viewed pro-grams that used wheat

Suppes is a wheat farmer from Dighton Kansas and food aid is a topic that hits home to him On his recent trip to Tanza-nia Suppes gained more knowledge than ever about wheat food aid programs He then decided to take his knowledge back to America to talk to

farmers about the value these programs offer

For over 60 years the wheat industry has led a helping-hand in being a partner with the US food aid American farmers are proud to share a part with the US food aid and are sharing their crop with the rest of the world

ldquoMore wheat is used in US in-kind aid than any other com-modity averaging 40 percent of the total It is also the most pop-ular commodity for monetizationrdquo said Suppes ldquoIt is a versa-tile product and of key dietary importancemdashbread products are staples in diets around the world Wheat is the source of 20 percent of the worldrsquos caloric

intake and provides 20 percent of protein for the worldrsquos most vulnerable 4 billion peoplerdquo

The US is the top leader of food aid donations and total de-velopment assistance Suppes says the wheat he grows is ldquodoing good half way around the worldrdquo and feels that is something to be proud of

ldquoWhat the world likes about US wheat is the quality as well as the consistency so they donrsquot have to change their mill settings Wersquore the most reliable source of wheat in the world and you go visit these customers we have and theyrsquoll tell you thatrdquo

Food aid continues (Continued on page 15)

(Continued from page 14) to be a powerful tool used to help others in need

Suppes said ldquoIt helps generate good-will in other countries a sentiment I saw first-hand in Tanzania But in the short-term these programs also involve a significant amount of wheat a fact not lost on Kansas farmers with full grain bins and more wheat piled on the ground from last yearrsquos historically high harvestrdquo

ldquoWhile these tools have a place in foreign assistance programs US commodities play an important role in helping regions unable to produce wheat and other commodities on their own due to drought conflict or other circumstancesrdquo he says ldquoWe have enough surplus that no one should be going hungryrdquo

ldquoIn marketing year 201516 we sent almost 600000 metric tons (MT) or about 22 million bushels of HRW as food aid That makes up almost 10 percent of last yearrsquos HRW exports and only Japan Nigeria and Mexico imported more HRWrdquo Suppes says

Suppes says a significant portion of these donations went to Ethiopia because their country was facing famine

Suppes strongly believes that mon-etization is a strong tool that will provide necessary commodi-ties to food-insecure areas and will benefit development programs by ldquogenerating funding from the sales of donat-ed US commoditiesrdquo

Not only does monetization benefit development pro-grams it can also give local small- and medium-sized buyers a competitive advantage because it is priced comparably to what a large buyer would pay

During Suppes trip to Tanzania he saw how the Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring wheat mone-tized there allowed the miller purchasing the wheat to pass along savings to their poorer customers He also visited four of the proj-ects funded by wheat monetization in the country

When asked about the importance of food aid Suppes replied ldquoIrsquom here because I think monetization is very important In fact Irsquom currently planting sorghum right now and my tractor is idle so thatrsquos how important I think it is I need to be here to talk to you about itrdquo

Suppes said in con-clusion ldquoThis is a year when the US wheat farmer has been a world leader in produc-ing a surplus of wheat It is a year when the US needs to be a world leader in helping provide for those in need with these ample suppliesrdquo

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

By John Schlageck Kansas Farm Bureau

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

There is no future in giving up

That was the mes-sage of strength courage and determi-nation presented to college rodeo cowboys and cowgirls at the banquet of the K-State Rodeo Club in Man-hattan

Amberley Snyder is a barrel racer who has fought her way back from tragedy inspiring all of America to ldquoGet Back on the Horserdquo

Telling her inspi-rational story while competing in rodeos across the United States Snyder let the challenges she faced refine her not define her

Snyder was voted the fan exemption contestant at the worldrsquos richest one day rodeo RFD-TVrsquos The American in Dallas

Competing with the best in the world Snyder received a standing ovation from 40000 spectators winning the hearts of America for turning tragedy into triumph

Snyder had major positive momentum in life after quali-fying for the 2009 National High School Rodeo Finals in pole bending winning the National Little Britch-es Rodeo Association all-around cowgirl title and being elected Utah FFA state pres-ident

Everything was go-ing great Snyder told K-State Rodeo Club members alumni and friends at the banquet

Those dreams were temporarily dashed on January 10 2010 Snyder was driving to the Den-ver Stock Show and Rodeo looked down at a map faded into the other lane overcor-rected and rolled her pickup at 75 miles-per-hour

Not wearing a seat belt Snyder was eject-ed and slammed into a fence post that broke her back Following five hours of emer-gency surgery the

doctors prognosis was Snyder would never regain use or feeling below her waist

During one of Snyderrsquos many physi-cal therapy sessions a therapist asked Snyder for three goals She answered Walk ride and rodeo

Remarkably only 18 months after the accident Snyder was back on her horse Setting many goals she discovered the ladder on her horse trailer provided a means for pulling her-self up on her horse

With determination Snyder again com-peted in college and professional rodeos Graduating in 2015 with a bachelors degree in agricul-ture education shersquos pursuing a masters in counseling

According to Sny-der the 2009 accident taught her one most important lesson and her overarching mes-sage ldquoAttitude is a little thing that makes a big differencerdquo

K-State Animal Sciences amp Industry (ASampI) Head Ken Odde is retiring from that position He was recognized during the banquet for his lead-ership role in taking K-State rodeo to a new level

Ken Odde has established a strong relationship between his department and the K-State Rodeo Club and Team said Clarke Jackman Baldwin City chair-man of the K-State Rodeo Advisory Council

Some monumen-tal steps in the rodeo programs recent advancement would not have been possible without Kens support and guidance Jack-man insisted

During Oddes leadership the de-partment worked with the club and advisory council to bring the rodeo team practice facilities and horse housing on-campus

Rodeo student ath-letes now keep their horses in stalls and runs adjacent to Burtis Arena just north of Kimball Avenue The team has regular prac-tices at the facility

Another of Oddes major contri-butions to the program was hiring K-States first-ever full-time ro-deo coach on the ASampI staff Casy Winn just completed his second school year as rodeo coach and equine instructor

I am proud of the job Coach Winn has done in this posi-tion said Odde who was named ASampI head in early 2007

The K-State Rodeo Club had a successful year under the leader-ship of President Ca-sey Adams who gradu-ated last month with a

degree in finance Among the major

accomplishments this year were hosting one of the most highly-at-tended college rodeos in the country raising funds for the club and team through events including a fall team roping Iron Woman competition ranch rodeo bull riding clin-ic a barrel race and funding another row of stalls at Burtis Arena

Club and team members of the year were recognized Male club member of the year is Blade Winter who served as stock co-chair while the top female club member is Brooke Wallace the 2016 Miss Rodeo K-State

Male team member of the year is junior Dixon Winn who finished 14th in the

Central Plains Region in bull riding and also competed in team roping calf roping and steer wrestling

Kinzie Alexander freshman who compet-ed in breakaway rop-ing and team roping at the college rodeos was the female team member of the year

The 2017-18 K-State Rodeo Exec-utive Board will be headed by President Milan Hunter junior

from Buffalo Creek Colorado

Other new board members are Kinzie Alexander presi-dent-elect Reiny Ostrander vice pres-ident Bailey Jeffries secretary Blade Winter treasurer Emily Ebert Miss Rodeo K-State Kealey Dwyer social chair Cassidy Hill advertis-ing chair Sponsorship Chair Jacob Grinstead (Continued on page 9)

fense the recall police flagged me for was for a defect in my heated seat which was an-other feature I didnrsquot know I possessed except when I ate extremely spicy foods of course The other time was for a defec-tive sensor that read my cabin temperature which posed as much danger to my person as a good steak and a glass of wine These government-mandat-ed recalls get a little old after awhile and I guess the car salesman sensed my disgust as I was looking fondly at the old photographs of horses and carriages on the walls

ldquoIf you think you have problems nowrdquo said the salesman ldquocan you imagine all the things the bureau-crats would have made us recall back then Commerce would have come to a standstill as

ldquoWhat are you in forrdquo asked the cold-looking culprit as if this was my first day in prison and he was to be my new best friend my cell mate But we werenrsquot in jail we were in the lob-by of the dealership where we buy our cars My new friend was a salesman who was hiding ready to pounce like a moun-tain lion on any poor unsuspecting soul who dared set foot in the jungle of the car lot Like a hawk he was looking out the huge plate glass window to spot his prey who had unknowingly ventured into no-manrsquos land He was ready to bolt out the door and be all over any prospective buyer like brown gravy on mashed potatoes

As I Recall

I said ldquothat therersquos

another recall to fix something on my car Hey you look familiar I know you yoursquore the guy who sold me my multi-recalled carrdquo

ldquoWe only issue the recalls for your own safetyrdquo the salesman meekly said

ldquoMaybe so but I hardly see how I was in any danger from a rear windshield wiperrdquo

ldquoWe sent out that recall because the heater that warms the water for your windshield wipers in freezing weather may get hotrdquo

ldquoIsnrsquot that the pointrdquo I asked ldquoAnd I hardly feel like I was in much danger of having a horrendous wreck because I never used that particular feature anyway In fact I never knew the car had that optionrdquo

As the day dragged on I engaged the salesman in chit chat because about the only thing I hate worse than going to the dentist is waiting for my car to be fixed especially in a lobby where the only reading material was Vogue and a Pottery Barn catalog that some other poor sap of the recall class had left behind

No wonder there were no tip jars in this place

I was in familiar ter-ritory though having been here three times before for my fairly new car The first of-

they could have issued recalls for uneven tread wear on horse-shoes loose rivets on harnesses or manure stains on the leather Back then yoursquod have received a telegram that read ldquoThe emis-sion control system on your 1878 model horse may run a little rich when filled with high octane alfalfa This could result in the driver getting exhaust all over his church clothes Please bring in your horse so that the proper adjust-ments can be maderdquo

ldquoOr rdquo I suggestedhellip ldquoWARNING Dear Sir or Madam it has come to our attention that the horse our salesman sold you may have a screw loose and this coupled with the fact that your horse may not have had all the training that our salesman

indicated could result in your engine running away from you Please be advised that should this happen and you did not respond to our recall notice your loss will not be covered by our extensive 3 day or 3 mile guaranteerdquo

ldquoIn the old daysrdquo the used car salesman said ldquothe govern-mentrsquos recall police would have had a field day as horse trad-ers back then had a reputation for saying almost anything to get you to buy a horserdquo

Hmmm Sounds like someone else I know

Finally my car was ready and on my way home I decided to check out the rear windshield wiper so I turned it on Almost immediately my seat started warming up

Onions DevelopingThis is the time of

year that onions grow and develop rapidly Regular watering (if needed) and a light fertilization are helpful to maximize growth Onions develop so that as much as 23 of the bulb remains out of the soil There is normal and there is no need to cover the bulb with soil

Some varieties of onions are nearing har-vest time when the tops begin to fall over Oth-

ers may not be ready to harvest for about a month You may wish to break over the tops that havenrsquot fallen to encourage drying of the neck Allow a few days to pass and then dig the onions to insure they donrsquot sunburn Temporarily store them in a dry well-venti-lated area for a week or two before cutting the tops to insure the necks are complete-ly dry Remove the foliage (or braid the

leaves) and store in a cool dry location (Ward Upham)

Deadheading Flowers

Some plants will bloom more profusely if the old spent flowers are removed a process called deadheading Annuals especially focus their energy on seed production to insure that the species survives If you remove old flowers the ener-gy normally used to produce seed is now available to produce

more flowers Perenni-als can also benefit by lengthening the bloom-ing season However some gardeners enjoy the look of spent flow-ers of perennials such as sedum or purple coneflower Also the seed produced can be a good food source for birds

Not all plants need to be deadheaded including sedum lsquoAutumn Joyrsquo melam-podium impatiens most flowering vines Lythrum periwin-kle (Catharanthus)

and wishbone flower (Torenia) Those that do increase bloom in response to dead-heading include hardy geraniums coreopsis petunias marigolds snapdragons bego-nias roses campan-ulas blanket flowers delphiniums zinnias sweet peas salvia scabiosa annual

heliotrope geraniums (Pelargonium) and yarrow

Deadheading is easily accomplished by removing spent flow-ers With some plants pinching between a thumb and finger can do this but tough wiry stems will require a scissors or pruning shears (Ward Upham)

How to register your boatPRATT ndash Summer-

time is boating time and with 24 federal reservoirs and more than 200 community lakes there are plenty of places for Kansans to enjoy being on the water However before you make you make your first trip take a second and make sure your registration is up to date

All boats powered by gas diesel electric motors or sail must be registered and numbered through the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks and

Tourism (KDWPT) for use on public waters Boaters can renew their registrations in person at KDWPT state park and regional offices or boat regis-tration agents (a list of agents by county can be found at wwwksoutdoorscom under ldquoBoatingrdquo)

If you sell a boat you must notify the depart-ment in writing within 15 days If you buy a boat from an individ-ual an application for registration needs to be submitted accom-panied by the previous

ownerrsquos certificate of number or a bill of sale and the registration fee If you buy a boat from a Kansas dealer the application needs to be submitted with a form STD8 or a bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If you buy a boat from an out-of-state dealer the bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If no sales tax was paid go to your county treasurer and pay sales tax then submit that receipt Registration applications can be downloaded from the

KDWPT website filled out and mailed in with the registration fee of $3250 (valid for three years)

The assigned regis-tration number must be painted or permanently attached to each side of the forward top half of the boat Numbers must be vertical block characters at least 3 inches tall that read from left to right A registration decal is issued each time you renew and it includes the year it expires Instructions on how the registration num-bers should appear are available in the Kansas

Boating Regulations Summary or online

Boat registrations expire three years from date of renewal and KDWPT will send out renewal notices six weeks prior to expira-tion

Fees from boat reg-istrations fund boating access education and law enforcement pro-grams and also provide match for federal fund-ing For more informa-tion on boat registra-tion contact your local KDWPT state park or regional office or call 620-672-5911

Spring-Flowering Bulb Foliage Can be Removed

It is important to leave spring-flowering bulb foliage in place until it ldquoripensrdquo or becomes brown The energy produced by the leaves after flow-ering is transferred to the bulb so that it can flower the following year The ripening process should be near completion now for tulips daffodils and various other spring-flowering bulbs Use clippers scissors or even a mower to remove dead foliage Also try to map out where the bulbs are planted as there will be no foliage to make the location next fall when it is time to fertilize (Ward Upham)

Cowboy to Great Beyond

best way to really know Keene There wasnrsquot anything Keene couldnrsquot do and not much he didnrsquot do in his most colorful life not all realized until reading eulogy

That first training job for Keene brought additional clients with his personal calls and notes At retirement age Keene prided as ldquoear manrdquo for Cheyenne Frontier Days wild horse race

With lovely-wife Sue they were regu-lars and buyers at the horse field-day-sale Keene with another half-dozen cowboys photographed ldquoshoot-ing the bullrdquo makes great office wall picture

ldquoCome up and wersquoll go fox huntingrdquo Keenersquos invitation an unforgettable expe-rience ldquoHey I have a saddle I want you haverdquo accepted on a Thanksgiving Day

Keene is a book unwritten yet con-densed here Military family rambunctious teenager fisherman camper explorer hippy motorcyclist Army veteran scuba diver two sonsrsquo dad fiversquos grandpa builder of whatever imagined construction inspector farmer leatherworker horse teamster collec-tor master farrier

Far far from con-clusive Keene simply ldquoan unforgettable character who lived according to his own rules always dreaming big dreamsrdquo

Once more remind-ed of Ecclesiastes 3 ldquoTo everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenhelliprdquo

ldquoSay I have a couple of broncs I got from a rodeo contrac-tor up northwest They wouldnrsquot buck and I want you to break rsquoem to riderdquo

That was first in-troduction to Keene more than a dozen years ago It was beginning of a real cowboy friendship great comradery with a most unique talented individual

Only realizing hersquod passed last month after seeing an estate auction advertisement it was truly heartfelt loss

All of the Keene experiences were instantly reflected Smile automatically uncontrollably spreads just remembering

Roaring into the ranch yard diving out of the pickup Keene was all grins unload-ing those horses to train ldquoRodeo broncsrdquo was no exaggeration at least in appearance

Donrsquot know how old but big rugged scarred branded rough hair tangled long manes tails un-trimmed at-least-shoe-size-four-feet roan draft horses

Tales of the horses his lifersquos adventures flowed as now-broad-er-grinning Keene aired meager expec-tations ldquoYou get rsquoem started and Irsquoll ride rsquoemrdquo promise taken lightly

Never ldquogentle giantsrdquo the ldquobroncsrdquo were rideable with enough cowboy try Keene had that Not perfect they did ev-erything cattle work trail rides fox hunts pulled wagons what-ever their big cow-boy-owner decided

Kansas farmer testifies on importance of food aid By Brooke Haas Kansas Wheat Communications Intern

On June 7 Ron Sup-pes a Kansas wheat farmer and former US Wheat Associates Chairman testified in front of the House Agriculture Committee on the importance of food aid discussing his recent trip to Tanzania where he viewed pro-grams that used wheat

Suppes is a wheat farmer from Dighton Kansas and food aid is a topic that hits home to him On his recent trip to Tanza-nia Suppes gained more knowledge than ever about wheat food aid programs He then decided to take his knowledge back to America to talk to

farmers about the value these programs offer

For over 60 years the wheat industry has led a helping-hand in being a partner with the US food aid American farmers are proud to share a part with the US food aid and are sharing their crop with the rest of the world

ldquoMore wheat is used in US in-kind aid than any other com-modity averaging 40 percent of the total It is also the most pop-ular commodity for monetizationrdquo said Suppes ldquoIt is a versa-tile product and of key dietary importancemdashbread products are staples in diets around the world Wheat is the source of 20 percent of the worldrsquos caloric

intake and provides 20 percent of protein for the worldrsquos most vulnerable 4 billion peoplerdquo

The US is the top leader of food aid donations and total de-velopment assistance Suppes says the wheat he grows is ldquodoing good half way around the worldrdquo and feels that is something to be proud of

ldquoWhat the world likes about US wheat is the quality as well as the consistency so they donrsquot have to change their mill settings Wersquore the most reliable source of wheat in the world and you go visit these customers we have and theyrsquoll tell you thatrdquo

Food aid continues (Continued on page 15)

(Continued from page 14) to be a powerful tool used to help others in need

Suppes said ldquoIt helps generate good-will in other countries a sentiment I saw first-hand in Tanzania But in the short-term these programs also involve a significant amount of wheat a fact not lost on Kansas farmers with full grain bins and more wheat piled on the ground from last yearrsquos historically high harvestrdquo

ldquoWhile these tools have a place in foreign assistance programs US commodities play an important role in helping regions unable to produce wheat and other commodities on their own due to drought conflict or other circumstancesrdquo he says ldquoWe have enough surplus that no one should be going hungryrdquo

ldquoIn marketing year 201516 we sent almost 600000 metric tons (MT) or about 22 million bushels of HRW as food aid That makes up almost 10 percent of last yearrsquos HRW exports and only Japan Nigeria and Mexico imported more HRWrdquo Suppes says

Suppes says a significant portion of these donations went to Ethiopia because their country was facing famine

Suppes strongly believes that mon-etization is a strong tool that will provide necessary commodi-ties to food-insecure areas and will benefit development programs by ldquogenerating funding from the sales of donat-ed US commoditiesrdquo

Not only does monetization benefit development pro-grams it can also give local small- and medium-sized buyers a competitive advantage because it is priced comparably to what a large buyer would pay

During Suppes trip to Tanzania he saw how the Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring wheat mone-tized there allowed the miller purchasing the wheat to pass along savings to their poorer customers He also visited four of the proj-ects funded by wheat monetization in the country

When asked about the importance of food aid Suppes replied ldquoIrsquom here because I think monetization is very important In fact Irsquom currently planting sorghum right now and my tractor is idle so thatrsquos how important I think it is I need to be here to talk to you about itrdquo

Suppes said in con-clusion ldquoThis is a year when the US wheat farmer has been a world leader in produc-ing a surplus of wheat It is a year when the US needs to be a world leader in helping provide for those in need with these ample suppliesrdquo

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

By John Schlageck Kansas Farm Bureau

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Exploring Kansas OutdoorsBy Steve Gilliland

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

(Continued from page 30) and our forefathers that evolution has been kind to us for we continue to embrace the arts pursue the sciences encour-age the interplay of ideas all kinds of ideas We are thank-ful for each other stillrdquo

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

all that comprise the event come from long ago from a time when hope moved a citizenry to accomplish the incredible

ldquoToday we realize that peo-ple like us are everywhererdquo the journal would say ldquothat

we share involvement in a common history ndash a history of anguish and at times cruel-ty and hardship but also of courage and warmth and rare nobility a history that gives us some feel of ourselves and will help us to endurerdquo

less terrorists ruth-less and our country godless Which leaves our clueless govern-ment fathomless and all us citizens speech-less

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

Rural MessengerPage 32 June 14 2017

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

One of the regu-

lars at our Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast club olrsquo A Payne Daily brought a sheet of paper to show us why we have so much to complain about in 2017 The pa-per reminded that our phones are wireless our cooking fireless our cars keyless our food fatless our tires tubeless our shirt and blouses sleeveless our youth jobless our leaders shameless our relationships mean-ingless our attitudes careless our babies fatherless too many folks shiftless our feelings heartless our education valueless our children manner-

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

fense the recall police flagged me for was for a defect in my heated seat which was an-other feature I didnrsquot know I possessed except when I ate extremely spicy foods of course The other time was for a defec-tive sensor that read my cabin temperature which posed as much danger to my person as a good steak and a glass of wine These government-mandat-ed recalls get a little old after awhile and I guess the car salesman sensed my disgust as I was looking fondly at the old photographs of horses and carriages on the walls

ldquoIf you think you have problems nowrdquo said the salesman ldquocan you imagine all the things the bureau-crats would have made us recall back then Commerce would have come to a standstill as

ldquoWhat are you in forrdquo asked the cold-looking culprit as if this was my first day in prison and he was to be my new best friend my cell mate But we werenrsquot in jail we were in the lob-by of the dealership where we buy our cars My new friend was a salesman who was hiding ready to pounce like a moun-tain lion on any poor unsuspecting soul who dared set foot in the jungle of the car lot Like a hawk he was looking out the huge plate glass window to spot his prey who had unknowingly ventured into no-manrsquos land He was ready to bolt out the door and be all over any prospective buyer like brown gravy on mashed potatoes

As I Recall

I said ldquothat therersquos

another recall to fix something on my car Hey you look familiar I know you yoursquore the guy who sold me my multi-recalled carrdquo

ldquoWe only issue the recalls for your own safetyrdquo the salesman meekly said

ldquoMaybe so but I hardly see how I was in any danger from a rear windshield wiperrdquo

ldquoWe sent out that recall because the heater that warms the water for your windshield wipers in freezing weather may get hotrdquo

ldquoIsnrsquot that the pointrdquo I asked ldquoAnd I hardly feel like I was in much danger of having a horrendous wreck because I never used that particular feature anyway In fact I never knew the car had that optionrdquo

As the day dragged on I engaged the salesman in chit chat because about the only thing I hate worse than going to the dentist is waiting for my car to be fixed especially in a lobby where the only reading material was Vogue and a Pottery Barn catalog that some other poor sap of the recall class had left behind

No wonder there were no tip jars in this place

I was in familiar ter-ritory though having been here three times before for my fairly new car The first of-

they could have issued recalls for uneven tread wear on horse-shoes loose rivets on harnesses or manure stains on the leather Back then yoursquod have received a telegram that read ldquoThe emis-sion control system on your 1878 model horse may run a little rich when filled with high octane alfalfa This could result in the driver getting exhaust all over his church clothes Please bring in your horse so that the proper adjust-ments can be maderdquo

ldquoOr rdquo I suggestedhellip ldquoWARNING Dear Sir or Madam it has come to our attention that the horse our salesman sold you may have a screw loose and this coupled with the fact that your horse may not have had all the training that our salesman

ldquoIn the old daysrdquo the used car salesman said ldquothe govern-mentrsquos recall police would have had a field day as horse trad-ers back then had a reputation for saying almost anything to get you to buy a horserdquo

Hmmm Sounds like someone else I know

Finally my car was ready and on my way home I decided to check out the rear windshield wiper so I turned it on Almost immediately my seat started warming up

Onions DevelopingThis is the time of

year that onions grow and develop rapidly Regular watering (if needed) and a light fertilization are helpful to maximize growth Onions develop so that as much as 23 of the bulb remains out of the soil There is normal and there is no need to cover the bulb with soil

Some varieties of onions are nearing har-vest time when the tops begin to fall over Oth-

ers may not be ready to harvest for about a month You may wish to break over the tops that havenrsquot fallen to encourage drying of the neck Allow a few days to pass and then dig the onions to insure they donrsquot sunburn Temporarily store them in a dry well-venti-lated area for a week or two before cutting the tops to insure the necks are complete-ly dry Remove the foliage (or braid the

leaves) and store in a cool dry location (Ward Upham)

Deadheading Flowers

Some plants will bloom more profusely if the old spent flowers are removed a process called deadheading Annuals especially focus their energy on seed production to insure that the species survives If you remove old flowers the ener-gy normally used to produce seed is now available to produce

more flowers Perenni-als can also benefit by lengthening the bloom-ing season However some gardeners enjoy the look of spent flow-ers of perennials such as sedum or purple coneflower Also the seed produced can be a good food source for birds

Not all plants need to be deadheaded including sedum lsquoAutumn Joyrsquo melam-podium impatiens most flowering vines Lythrum periwin-kle (Catharanthus)

and wishbone flower (Torenia) Those that do increase bloom in response to dead-heading include hardy geraniums coreopsis petunias marigolds snapdragons bego-nias roses campan-ulas blanket flowers delphiniums zinnias sweet peas salvia scabiosa annual

heliotrope geraniums (Pelargonium) and yarrow

Deadheading is easily accomplished by removing spent flow-ers With some plants pinching between a thumb and finger can do this but tough wiry stems will require a scissors or pruning shears (Ward Upham)

Tourism (KDWPT) for use on public waters Boaters can renew their registrations in person at KDWPT state park and regional offices or boat regis-tration agents (a list of agents by county can be found at wwwksoutdoorscom under ldquoBoatingrdquo)

If you sell a boat you must notify the depart-ment in writing within 15 days If you buy a boat from an individ-ual an application for registration needs to be submitted accom-panied by the previous

ownerrsquos certificate of number or a bill of sale and the registration fee If you buy a boat from a Kansas dealer the application needs to be submitted with a form STD8 or a bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If you buy a boat from an out-of-state dealer the bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If no sales tax was paid go to your county treasurer and pay sales tax then submit that receipt Registration applications can be downloaded from the

KDWPT website filled out and mailed in with the registration fee of $3250 (valid for three years)

The assigned regis-tration number must be painted or permanently attached to each side of the forward top half of the boat Numbers must be vertical block characters at least 3 inches tall that read from left to right A registration decal is issued each time you renew and it includes the year it expires Instructions on how the registration num-bers should appear are available in the Kansas

Boating Regulations Summary or online

Boat registrations expire three years from date of renewal and KDWPT will send out renewal notices six weeks prior to expira-tion

Fees from boat reg-istrations fund boating access education and law enforcement pro-grams and also provide match for federal fund-ing For more informa-tion on boat registra-tion contact your local KDWPT state park or regional office or call 620-672-5911

Spring-Flowering Bulb Foliage Can be Removed

It is important to leave spring-flowering bulb foliage in place until it ldquoripensrdquo or becomes brown The energy produced by the leaves after flow-ering is transferred to the bulb so that it can flower the following year The ripening process should be near completion now for tulips daffodils and various other spring-flowering bulbs Use clippers scissors or even a mower to remove dead foliage Also try to map out where the bulbs are planted as there will be no foliage to make the location next fall when it is time to fertilize (Ward Upham)

Cowboy to Great Beyond

best way to really know Keene There wasnrsquot anything Keene couldnrsquot do and not much he didnrsquot do in his most colorful life not all realized until reading eulogy

That first training job for Keene brought additional clients with his personal calls and notes At retirement age Keene prided as ldquoear manrdquo for Cheyenne Frontier Days wild horse race

With lovely-wife Sue they were regu-lars and buyers at the horse field-day-sale Keene with another half-dozen cowboys photographed ldquoshoot-ing the bullrdquo makes great office wall picture

ldquoCome up and wersquoll go fox huntingrdquo Keenersquos invitation an unforgettable expe-rience ldquoHey I have a saddle I want you haverdquo accepted on a Thanksgiving Day

Keene is a book unwritten yet con-densed here Military family rambunctious teenager fisherman camper explorer hippy motorcyclist Army veteran scuba diver two sonsrsquo dad fiversquos grandpa builder of whatever imagined construction inspector farmer leatherworker horse teamster collec-tor master farrier

Far far from con-clusive Keene simply ldquoan unforgettable character who lived according to his own rules always dreaming big dreamsrdquo

Once more remind-ed of Ecclesiastes 3 ldquoTo everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenhelliprdquo

ldquoSay I have a couple of broncs I got from a rodeo contrac-tor up northwest They wouldnrsquot buck and I want you to break rsquoem to riderdquo

That was first in-troduction to Keene more than a dozen years ago It was beginning of a real cowboy friendship great comradery with a most unique talented individual

Only realizing hersquod passed last month after seeing an estate auction advertisement it was truly heartfelt loss

All of the Keene experiences were instantly reflected Smile automatically uncontrollably spreads just remembering

Roaring into the ranch yard diving out of the pickup Keene was all grins unload-ing those horses to train ldquoRodeo broncsrdquo was no exaggeration at least in appearance

Donrsquot know how old but big rugged scarred branded rough hair tangled long manes tails un-trimmed at-least-shoe-size-four-feet roan draft horses

Tales of the horses his lifersquos adventures flowed as now-broad-er-grinning Keene aired meager expec-tations ldquoYou get rsquoem started and Irsquoll ride rsquoemrdquo promise taken lightly

Never ldquogentle giantsrdquo the ldquobroncsrdquo were rideable with enough cowboy try Keene had that Not perfect they did ev-erything cattle work trail rides fox hunts pulled wagons what-ever their big cow-boy-owner decided

Suppes is a wheat farmer from Dighton Kansas and food aid is a topic that hits home to him On his recent trip to Tanza-nia Suppes gained more knowledge than ever about wheat food aid programs He then decided to take his knowledge back to America to talk to

farmers about the value these programs offer

For over 60 years the wheat industry has led a helping-hand in being a partner with the US food aid American farmers are proud to share a part with the US food aid and are sharing their crop with the rest of the world

ldquoMore wheat is used in US in-kind aid than any other com-modity averaging 40 percent of the total It is also the most pop-ular commodity for monetizationrdquo said Suppes ldquoIt is a versa-tile product and of key dietary importancemdashbread products are staples in diets around the world Wheat is the source of 20 percent of the worldrsquos caloric

intake and provides 20 percent of protein for the worldrsquos most vulnerable 4 billion peoplerdquo

The US is the top leader of food aid donations and total de-velopment assistance Suppes says the wheat he grows is ldquodoing good half way around the worldrdquo and feels that is something to be proud of

ldquoWhat the world likes about US wheat is the quality as well as the consistency so they donrsquot have to change their mill settings Wersquore the most reliable source of wheat in the world and you go visit these customers we have and theyrsquoll tell you thatrdquo

Food aid continues (Continued on page 15)

(Continued from page 14) to be a powerful tool used to help others in need

Suppes said ldquoIt helps generate good-will in other countries a sentiment I saw first-hand in Tanzania But in the short-term these programs also involve a significant amount of wheat a fact not lost on Kansas farmers with full grain bins and more wheat piled on the ground from last yearrsquos historically high harvestrdquo

ldquoWhile these tools have a place in foreign assistance programs US commodities play an important role in helping regions unable to produce wheat and other commodities on their own due to drought conflict or other circumstancesrdquo he says ldquoWe have enough surplus that no one should be going hungryrdquo

ldquoIn marketing year 201516 we sent almost 600000 metric tons (MT) or about 22 million bushels of HRW as food aid That makes up almost 10 percent of last yearrsquos HRW exports and only Japan Nigeria and Mexico imported more HRWrdquo Suppes says

Suppes says a significant portion of these donations went to Ethiopia because their country was facing famine

Suppes strongly believes that mon-etization is a strong tool that will provide necessary commodi-ties to food-insecure areas and will benefit development programs by ldquogenerating funding from the sales of donat-ed US commoditiesrdquo

Not only does monetization benefit development pro-grams it can also give local small- and medium-sized buyers a competitive advantage because it is priced comparably to what a large buyer would pay

During Suppes trip to Tanzania he saw how the Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring wheat mone-tized there allowed the miller purchasing the wheat to pass along savings to their poorer customers He also visited four of the proj-ects funded by wheat monetization in the country

When asked about the importance of food aid Suppes replied ldquoIrsquom here because I think monetization is very important In fact Irsquom currently planting sorghum right now and my tractor is idle so thatrsquos how important I think it is I need to be here to talk to you about itrdquo

Suppes said in con-clusion ldquoThis is a year when the US wheat farmer has been a world leader in produc-ing a surplus of wheat It is a year when the US needs to be a world leader in helping provide for those in need with these ample suppliesrdquo

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

By John Schlageck Kansas Farm Bureau

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Note to media edi-tors We will provide a specific site location along with accessibility to its owner or subject matter expert Mike Kandt for interviews upon request along with a representative

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

(Continued from page 30) and our forefathers that evolution has been kind to us for we continue to embrace the arts pursue the sciences encour-age the interplay of ideas all kinds of ideas We are thank-ful for each other stillrdquo

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

all that comprise the event come from long ago from a time when hope moved a citizenry to accomplish the incredible

ldquoToday we realize that peo-ple like us are everywhererdquo the journal would say ldquothat

we share involvement in a common history ndash a history of anguish and at times cruel-ty and hardship but also of courage and warmth and rare nobility a history that gives us some feel of ourselves and will help us to endurerdquo

less terrorists ruth-less and our country godless Which leaves our clueless govern-ment fathomless and all us citizens speech-less

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

Rural MessengerPage 32 June 14 2017

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

One of the regu-

lars at our Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast club olrsquo A Payne Daily brought a sheet of paper to show us why we have so much to complain about in 2017 The pa-per reminded that our phones are wireless our cooking fireless our cars keyless our food fatless our tires tubeless our shirt and blouses sleeveless our youth jobless our leaders shameless our relationships mean-ingless our attitudes careless our babies fatherless too many folks shiftless our feelings heartless our education valueless our children manner-

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

fense the recall police flagged me for was for a defect in my heated seat which was an-other feature I didnrsquot know I possessed except when I ate extremely spicy foods of course The other time was for a defec-tive sensor that read my cabin temperature which posed as much danger to my person as a good steak and a glass of wine These government-mandat-ed recalls get a little old after awhile and I guess the car salesman sensed my disgust as I was looking fondly at the old photographs of horses and carriages on the walls

ldquoIf you think you have problems nowrdquo said the salesman ldquocan you imagine all the things the bureau-crats would have made us recall back then Commerce would have come to a standstill as

ldquoWhat are you in forrdquo asked the cold-looking culprit as if this was my first day in prison and he was to be my new best friend my cell mate But we werenrsquot in jail we were in the lob-by of the dealership where we buy our cars My new friend was a salesman who was hiding ready to pounce like a moun-tain lion on any poor unsuspecting soul who dared set foot in the jungle of the car lot Like a hawk he was looking out the huge plate glass window to spot his prey who had unknowingly ventured into no-manrsquos land He was ready to bolt out the door and be all over any prospective buyer like brown gravy on mashed potatoes

As I Recall

I said ldquothat therersquos

another recall to fix something on my car Hey you look familiar I know you yoursquore the guy who sold me my multi-recalled carrdquo

ldquoWe only issue the recalls for your own safetyrdquo the salesman meekly said

ldquoMaybe so but I hardly see how I was in any danger from a rear windshield wiperrdquo

ldquoWe sent out that recall because the heater that warms the water for your windshield wipers in freezing weather may get hotrdquo

ldquoIsnrsquot that the pointrdquo I asked ldquoAnd I hardly feel like I was in much danger of having a horrendous wreck because I never used that particular feature anyway In fact I never knew the car had that optionrdquo

As the day dragged on I engaged the salesman in chit chat because about the only thing I hate worse than going to the dentist is waiting for my car to be fixed especially in a lobby where the only reading material was Vogue and a Pottery Barn catalog that some other poor sap of the recall class had left behind

No wonder there were no tip jars in this place

I was in familiar ter-ritory though having been here three times before for my fairly new car The first of-

they could have issued recalls for uneven tread wear on horse-shoes loose rivets on harnesses or manure stains on the leather Back then yoursquod have received a telegram that read ldquoThe emis-sion control system on your 1878 model horse may run a little rich when filled with high octane alfalfa This could result in the driver getting exhaust all over his church clothes Please bring in your horse so that the proper adjust-ments can be maderdquo

ldquoOr rdquo I suggestedhellip ldquoWARNING Dear Sir or Madam it has come to our attention that the horse our salesman sold you may have a screw loose and this coupled with the fact that your horse may not have had all the training that our salesman

indicated could result in your engine running away from you Please be advised that should this happen and you did not respond to our recall notice your loss will not be covered by our extensive 3 day or 3 mile guaranteerdquo

ldquoIn the old daysrdquo the used car salesman said ldquothe govern-mentrsquos recall police would have had a field day as horse trad-ers back then had a reputation for saying almost anything to get you to buy a horserdquo

Hmmm Sounds like someone else I know

Finally my car was ready and on my way home I decided to check out the rear windshield wiper so I turned it on Almost immediately my seat started warming up

Onions DevelopingThis is the time of

year that onions grow and develop rapidly Regular watering (if needed) and a light fertilization are helpful to maximize growth Onions develop so that as much as 23 of the bulb remains out of the soil There is normal and there is no need to cover the bulb with soil

Some varieties of onions are nearing har-vest time when the tops begin to fall over Oth-

ers may not be ready to harvest for about a month You may wish to break over the tops that havenrsquot fallen to encourage drying of the neck Allow a few days to pass and then dig the onions to insure they donrsquot sunburn Temporarily store them in a dry well-venti-lated area for a week or two before cutting the tops to insure the necks are complete-ly dry Remove the foliage (or braid the

leaves) and store in a cool dry location (Ward Upham)

Deadheading Flowers

Some plants will bloom more profusely if the old spent flowers are removed a process called deadheading Annuals especially focus their energy on seed production to insure that the species survives If you remove old flowers the ener-gy normally used to produce seed is now available to produce

more flowers Perenni-als can also benefit by lengthening the bloom-ing season However some gardeners enjoy the look of spent flow-ers of perennials such as sedum or purple coneflower Also the seed produced can be a good food source for birds

Not all plants need to be deadheaded including sedum lsquoAutumn Joyrsquo melam-podium impatiens most flowering vines Lythrum periwin-kle (Catharanthus)

and wishbone flower (Torenia) Those that do increase bloom in response to dead-heading include hardy geraniums coreopsis petunias marigolds snapdragons bego-nias roses campan-ulas blanket flowers delphiniums zinnias sweet peas salvia scabiosa annual

heliotrope geraniums (Pelargonium) and yarrow

Deadheading is easily accomplished by removing spent flow-ers With some plants pinching between a thumb and finger can do this but tough wiry stems will require a scissors or pruning shears (Ward Upham)

How to register your boatPRATT ndash Summer-

time is boating time and with 24 federal reservoirs and more than 200 community lakes there are plenty of places for Kansans to enjoy being on the water However before you make you make your first trip take a second and make sure your registration is up to date

All boats powered by gas diesel electric motors or sail must be registered and numbered through the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks and

Tourism (KDWPT) for use on public waters Boaters can renew their registrations in person at KDWPT state park and regional offices or boat regis-tration agents (a list of agents by county can be found at wwwksoutdoorscom under ldquoBoatingrdquo)

If you sell a boat you must notify the depart-ment in writing within 15 days If you buy a boat from an individ-ual an application for registration needs to be submitted accom-panied by the previous

ownerrsquos certificate of number or a bill of sale and the registration fee If you buy a boat from a Kansas dealer the application needs to be submitted with a form STD8 or a bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If you buy a boat from an out-of-state dealer the bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If no sales tax was paid go to your county treasurer and pay sales tax then submit that receipt Registration applications can be downloaded from the

KDWPT website filled out and mailed in with the registration fee of $3250 (valid for three years)

The assigned regis-tration number must be painted or permanently attached to each side of the forward top half of the boat Numbers must be vertical block characters at least 3 inches tall that read from left to right A registration decal is issued each time you renew and it includes the year it expires Instructions on how the registration num-bers should appear are available in the Kansas

Boating Regulations Summary or online

Boat registrations expire three years from date of renewal and KDWPT will send out renewal notices six weeks prior to expira-tion

Fees from boat reg-istrations fund boating access education and law enforcement pro-grams and also provide match for federal fund-ing For more informa-tion on boat registra-tion contact your local KDWPT state park or regional office or call 620-672-5911

Spring-Flowering Bulb Foliage Can be Removed

It is important to leave spring-flowering bulb foliage in place until it ldquoripensrdquo or becomes brown The energy produced by the leaves after flow-ering is transferred to the bulb so that it can flower the following year The ripening process should be near completion now for tulips daffodils and various other spring-flowering bulbs Use clippers scissors or even a mower to remove dead foliage Also try to map out where the bulbs are planted as there will be no foliage to make the location next fall when it is time to fertilize (Ward Upham)

Cowboy to Great Beyond

best way to really know Keene There wasnrsquot anything Keene couldnrsquot do and not much he didnrsquot do in his most colorful life not all realized until reading eulogy

That first training job for Keene brought additional clients with his personal calls and notes At retirement age Keene prided as ldquoear manrdquo for Cheyenne Frontier Days wild horse race

With lovely-wife Sue they were regu-lars and buyers at the horse field-day-sale Keene with another half-dozen cowboys photographed ldquoshoot-ing the bullrdquo makes great office wall picture

ldquoCome up and wersquoll go fox huntingrdquo Keenersquos invitation an unforgettable expe-rience ldquoHey I have a saddle I want you haverdquo accepted on a Thanksgiving Day

Keene is a book unwritten yet con-densed here Military family rambunctious teenager fisherman camper explorer hippy motorcyclist Army veteran scuba diver two sonsrsquo dad fiversquos grandpa builder of whatever imagined construction inspector farmer leatherworker horse teamster collec-tor master farrier

Far far from con-clusive Keene simply ldquoan unforgettable character who lived according to his own rules always dreaming big dreamsrdquo

Once more remind-ed of Ecclesiastes 3 ldquoTo everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenhelliprdquo

ldquoSay I have a couple of broncs I got from a rodeo contrac-tor up northwest They wouldnrsquot buck and I want you to break rsquoem to riderdquo

That was first in-troduction to Keene more than a dozen years ago It was beginning of a real cowboy friendship great comradery with a most unique talented individual

Only realizing hersquod passed last month after seeing an estate auction advertisement it was truly heartfelt loss

All of the Keene experiences were instantly reflected Smile automatically uncontrollably spreads just remembering

Roaring into the ranch yard diving out of the pickup Keene was all grins unload-ing those horses to train ldquoRodeo broncsrdquo was no exaggeration at least in appearance

Donrsquot know how old but big rugged scarred branded rough hair tangled long manes tails un-trimmed at-least-shoe-size-four-feet roan draft horses

Tales of the horses his lifersquos adventures flowed as now-broad-er-grinning Keene aired meager expec-tations ldquoYou get rsquoem started and Irsquoll ride rsquoemrdquo promise taken lightly

Never ldquogentle giantsrdquo the ldquobroncsrdquo were rideable with enough cowboy try Keene had that Not perfect they did ev-erything cattle work trail rides fox hunts pulled wagons what-ever their big cow-boy-owner decided

Kansas farmer testifies on importance of food aid By Brooke Haas Kansas Wheat Communications Intern

On June 7 Ron Sup-pes a Kansas wheat farmer and former US Wheat Associates Chairman testified in front of the House Agriculture Committee on the importance of food aid discussing his recent trip to Tanzania where he viewed pro-grams that used wheat

Suppes is a wheat farmer from Dighton Kansas and food aid is a topic that hits home to him On his recent trip to Tanza-nia Suppes gained more knowledge than ever about wheat food aid programs He then decided to take his knowledge back to America to talk to

farmers about the value these programs offer

For over 60 years the wheat industry has led a helping-hand in being a partner with the US food aid American farmers are proud to share a part with the US food aid and are sharing their crop with the rest of the world

ldquoMore wheat is used in US in-kind aid than any other com-modity averaging 40 percent of the total It is also the most pop-ular commodity for monetizationrdquo said Suppes ldquoIt is a versa-tile product and of key dietary importancemdashbread products are staples in diets around the world Wheat is the source of 20 percent of the worldrsquos caloric

intake and provides 20 percent of protein for the worldrsquos most vulnerable 4 billion peoplerdquo

The US is the top leader of food aid donations and total de-velopment assistance Suppes says the wheat he grows is ldquodoing good half way around the worldrdquo and feels that is something to be proud of

ldquoWhat the world likes about US wheat is the quality as well as the consistency so they donrsquot have to change their mill settings Wersquore the most reliable source of wheat in the world and you go visit these customers we have and theyrsquoll tell you thatrdquo

Food aid continues (Continued on page 15)

(Continued from page 14) to be a powerful tool used to help others in need

Suppes said ldquoIt helps generate good-will in other countries a sentiment I saw first-hand in Tanzania But in the short-term these programs also involve a significant amount of wheat a fact not lost on Kansas farmers with full grain bins and more wheat piled on the ground from last yearrsquos historically high harvestrdquo

ldquoWhile these tools have a place in foreign assistance programs US commodities play an important role in helping regions unable to produce wheat and other commodities on their own due to drought conflict or other circumstancesrdquo he says ldquoWe have enough surplus that no one should be going hungryrdquo

ldquoIn marketing year 201516 we sent almost 600000 metric tons (MT) or about 22 million bushels of HRW as food aid That makes up almost 10 percent of last yearrsquos HRW exports and only Japan Nigeria and Mexico imported more HRWrdquo Suppes says

Suppes says a significant portion of these donations went to Ethiopia because their country was facing famine

Suppes strongly believes that mon-etization is a strong tool that will provide necessary commodi-ties to food-insecure areas and will benefit development programs by ldquogenerating funding from the sales of donat-ed US commoditiesrdquo

Not only does monetization benefit development pro-grams it can also give local small- and medium-sized buyers a competitive advantage because it is priced comparably to what a large buyer would pay

During Suppes trip to Tanzania he saw how the Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring wheat mone-tized there allowed the miller purchasing the wheat to pass along savings to their poorer customers He also visited four of the proj-ects funded by wheat monetization in the country

When asked about the importance of food aid Suppes replied ldquoIrsquom here because I think monetization is very important In fact Irsquom currently planting sorghum right now and my tractor is idle so thatrsquos how important I think it is I need to be here to talk to you about itrdquo

Suppes said in con-clusion ldquoThis is a year when the US wheat farmer has been a world leader in produc-ing a surplus of wheat It is a year when the US needs to be a world leader in helping provide for those in need with these ample suppliesrdquo

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

By John Schlageck Kansas Farm Bureau

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

How to register your boatPRATT ndash Summer-

time is boating time and with 24 federal reservoirs and more than 200 community lakes there are plenty of places for Kansans to enjoy being on the water However before you make you make your first trip take a second and make sure your registration is up to date

All boats powered by gas diesel electric motors or sail must be registered and numbered through the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks and

Tourism (KDWPT) for use on public waters Boaters can renew their registrations in person at KDWPT state park and regional offices or boat regis-tration agents (a list of agents by county can be found at wwwksoutdoorscom under ldquoBoatingrdquo)

If you sell a boat you must notify the depart-ment in writing within 15 days If you buy a boat from an individ-ual an application for registration needs to be submitted accom-panied by the previous

ownerrsquos certificate of number or a bill of sale and the registration fee If you buy a boat from a Kansas dealer the application needs to be submitted with a form STD8 or a bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If you buy a boat from an out-of-state dealer the bill of sale showing sales tax paid is required If no sales tax was paid go to your county treasurer and pay sales tax then submit that receipt Registration applications can be downloaded from the

KDWPT website filled out and mailed in with the registration fee of $3250 (valid for three years)

The assigned regis-tration number must be painted or permanently attached to each side of the forward top half of the boat Numbers must be vertical block characters at least 3 inches tall that read from left to right A registration decal is issued each time you renew and it includes the year it expires Instructions on how the registration num-bers should appear are available in the Kansas

Boating Regulations Summary or online

Boat registrations expire three years from date of renewal and KDWPT will send out renewal notices six weeks prior to expira-tion

Fees from boat reg-istrations fund boating access education and law enforcement pro-grams and also provide match for federal fund-ing For more informa-tion on boat registra-tion contact your local KDWPT state park or regional office or call 620-672-5911

Spring-Flowering Bulb Foliage Can be Removed

It is important to leave spring-flowering bulb foliage in place until it ldquoripensrdquo or becomes brown The energy produced by the leaves after flow-ering is transferred to the bulb so that it can flower the following year The ripening process should be near completion now for tulips daffodils and various other spring-flowering bulbs Use clippers scissors or even a mower to remove dead foliage Also try to map out where the bulbs are planted as there will be no foliage to make the location next fall when it is time to fertilize (Ward Upham)

best way to really know Keene There wasnrsquot anything Keene couldnrsquot do and not much he didnrsquot do in his most colorful life not all realized until reading eulogy

That first training job for Keene brought additional clients with his personal calls and notes At retirement age Keene prided as ldquoear manrdquo for Cheyenne Frontier Days wild horse race

With lovely-wife Sue they were regu-lars and buyers at the horse field-day-sale Keene with another half-dozen cowboys photographed ldquoshoot-ing the bullrdquo makes great office wall picture

ldquoCome up and wersquoll go fox huntingrdquo Keenersquos invitation an unforgettable expe-rience ldquoHey I have a saddle I want you haverdquo accepted on a Thanksgiving Day

Keene is a book unwritten yet con-densed here Military family rambunctious teenager fisherman camper explorer hippy motorcyclist Army veteran scuba diver two sonsrsquo dad fiversquos grandpa builder of whatever imagined construction inspector farmer leatherworker horse teamster collec-tor master farrier

Far far from con-clusive Keene simply ldquoan unforgettable character who lived according to his own rules always dreaming big dreamsrdquo

Once more remind-ed of Ecclesiastes 3 ldquoTo everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenhelliprdquo

Kansas farmer testifies on importance of food aid By Brooke Haas Kansas Wheat Communications Intern

On June 7 Ron Sup-pes a Kansas wheat farmer and former US Wheat Associates Chairman testified in front of the House Agriculture Committee on the importance of food aid discussing his recent trip to Tanzania where he viewed pro-grams that used wheat

Suppes is a wheat farmer from Dighton Kansas and food aid is a topic that hits home to him On his recent trip to Tanza-nia Suppes gained more knowledge than ever about wheat food aid programs He then decided to take his knowledge back to America to talk to

farmers about the value these programs offer

For over 60 years the wheat industry has led a helping-hand in being a partner with the US food aid American farmers are proud to share a part with the US food aid and are sharing their crop with the rest of the world

ldquoMore wheat is used in US in-kind aid than any other com-modity averaging 40 percent of the total It is also the most pop-ular commodity for monetizationrdquo said Suppes ldquoIt is a versa-tile product and of key dietary importancemdashbread products are staples in diets around the world Wheat is the source of 20 percent of the worldrsquos caloric

intake and provides 20 percent of protein for the worldrsquos most vulnerable 4 billion peoplerdquo

The US is the top leader of food aid donations and total de-velopment assistance Suppes says the wheat he grows is ldquodoing good half way around the worldrdquo and feels that is something to be proud of

ldquoWhat the world likes about US wheat is the quality as well as the consistency so they donrsquot have to change their mill settings Wersquore the most reliable source of wheat in the world and you go visit these customers we have and theyrsquoll tell you thatrdquo

Food aid continues (Continued on page 15)

(Continued from page 14) to be a powerful tool used to help others in need

Suppes said ldquoIt helps generate good-will in other countries a sentiment I saw first-hand in Tanzania But in the short-term these programs also involve a significant amount of wheat a fact not lost on Kansas farmers with full grain bins and more wheat piled on the ground from last yearrsquos historically high harvestrdquo

ldquoWhile these tools have a place in foreign assistance programs US commodities play an important role in helping regions unable to produce wheat and other commodities on their own due to drought conflict or other circumstancesrdquo he says ldquoWe have enough surplus that no one should be going hungryrdquo

ldquoIn marketing year 201516 we sent almost 600000 metric tons (MT) or about 22 million bushels of HRW as food aid That makes up almost 10 percent of last yearrsquos HRW exports and only Japan Nigeria and Mexico imported more HRWrdquo Suppes says

Suppes says a significant portion of these donations went to Ethiopia because their country was facing famine

Suppes strongly believes that mon-etization is a strong tool that will provide necessary commodi-ties to food-insecure areas and will benefit development programs by ldquogenerating funding from the sales of donat-ed US commoditiesrdquo

Not only does monetization benefit development pro-grams it can also give local small- and medium-sized buyers a competitive advantage because it is priced comparably to what a large buyer would pay

During Suppes trip to Tanzania he saw how the Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring wheat mone-tized there allowed the miller purchasing the wheat to pass along savings to their poorer customers He also visited four of the proj-ects funded by wheat monetization in the country

When asked about the importance of food aid Suppes replied ldquoIrsquom here because I think monetization is very important In fact Irsquom currently planting sorghum right now and my tractor is idle so thatrsquos how important I think it is I need to be here to talk to you about itrdquo

Suppes said in con-clusion ldquoThis is a year when the US wheat farmer has been a world leader in produc-ing a surplus of wheat It is a year when the US needs to be a world leader in helping provide for those in need with these ample suppliesrdquo

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

By John Schlageck Kansas Farm Bureau

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Note to media edi-tors We will provide a specific site location along with accessibility to its owner or subject matter expert Mike Kandt for interviews upon request along with a representative

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

Cowboy to Great Beyond

best way to really know Keene There wasnrsquot anything Keene couldnrsquot do and not much he didnrsquot do in his most colorful life not all realized until reading eulogy

That first training job for Keene brought additional clients with his personal calls and notes At retirement age Keene prided as ldquoear manrdquo for Cheyenne Frontier Days wild horse race

With lovely-wife Sue they were regu-lars and buyers at the horse field-day-sale Keene with another half-dozen cowboys photographed ldquoshoot-ing the bullrdquo makes great office wall picture

ldquoCome up and wersquoll go fox huntingrdquo Keenersquos invitation an unforgettable expe-rience ldquoHey I have a saddle I want you haverdquo accepted on a Thanksgiving Day

Keene is a book unwritten yet con-densed here Military family rambunctious teenager fisherman camper explorer hippy motorcyclist Army veteran scuba diver two sonsrsquo dad fiversquos grandpa builder of whatever imagined construction inspector farmer leatherworker horse teamster collec-tor master farrier

Far far from con-clusive Keene simply ldquoan unforgettable character who lived according to his own rules always dreaming big dreamsrdquo

Once more remind-ed of Ecclesiastes 3 ldquoTo everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenhelliprdquo

ldquoSay I have a couple of broncs I got from a rodeo contrac-tor up northwest They wouldnrsquot buck and I want you to break rsquoem to riderdquo

That was first in-troduction to Keene more than a dozen years ago It was beginning of a real cowboy friendship great comradery with a most unique talented individual

Only realizing hersquod passed last month after seeing an estate auction advertisement it was truly heartfelt loss

All of the Keene experiences were instantly reflected Smile automatically uncontrollably spreads just remembering

Roaring into the ranch yard diving out of the pickup Keene was all grins unload-ing those horses to train ldquoRodeo broncsrdquo was no exaggeration at least in appearance

Donrsquot know how old but big rugged scarred branded rough hair tangled long manes tails un-trimmed at-least-shoe-size-four-feet roan draft horses

Tales of the horses his lifersquos adventures flowed as now-broad-er-grinning Keene aired meager expec-tations ldquoYou get rsquoem started and Irsquoll ride rsquoemrdquo promise taken lightly

Never ldquogentle giantsrdquo the ldquobroncsrdquo were rideable with enough cowboy try Keene had that Not perfect they did ev-erything cattle work trail rides fox hunts pulled wagons what-ever their big cow-boy-owner decided

Kansas farmer testifies on importance of food aid By Brooke Haas Kansas Wheat Communications Intern

On June 7 Ron Sup-pes a Kansas wheat farmer and former US Wheat Associates Chairman testified in front of the House Agriculture Committee on the importance of food aid discussing his recent trip to Tanzania where he viewed pro-grams that used wheat

Suppes is a wheat farmer from Dighton Kansas and food aid is a topic that hits home to him On his recent trip to Tanza-nia Suppes gained more knowledge than ever about wheat food aid programs He then decided to take his knowledge back to America to talk to

farmers about the value these programs offer

For over 60 years the wheat industry has led a helping-hand in being a partner with the US food aid American farmers are proud to share a part with the US food aid and are sharing their crop with the rest of the world

ldquoMore wheat is used in US in-kind aid than any other com-modity averaging 40 percent of the total It is also the most pop-ular commodity for monetizationrdquo said Suppes ldquoIt is a versa-tile product and of key dietary importancemdashbread products are staples in diets around the world Wheat is the source of 20 percent of the worldrsquos caloric

intake and provides 20 percent of protein for the worldrsquos most vulnerable 4 billion peoplerdquo

The US is the top leader of food aid donations and total de-velopment assistance Suppes says the wheat he grows is ldquodoing good half way around the worldrdquo and feels that is something to be proud of

ldquoWhat the world likes about US wheat is the quality as well as the consistency so they donrsquot have to change their mill settings Wersquore the most reliable source of wheat in the world and you go visit these customers we have and theyrsquoll tell you thatrdquo

Food aid continues (Continued on page 15)

(Continued from page 14) to be a powerful tool used to help others in need

Suppes said ldquoIt helps generate good-will in other countries a sentiment I saw first-hand in Tanzania But in the short-term these programs also involve a significant amount of wheat a fact not lost on Kansas farmers with full grain bins and more wheat piled on the ground from last yearrsquos historically high harvestrdquo

ldquoWhile these tools have a place in foreign assistance programs US commodities play an important role in helping regions unable to produce wheat and other commodities on their own due to drought conflict or other circumstancesrdquo he says ldquoWe have enough surplus that no one should be going hungryrdquo

ldquoIn marketing year 201516 we sent almost 600000 metric tons (MT) or about 22 million bushels of HRW as food aid That makes up almost 10 percent of last yearrsquos HRW exports and only Japan Nigeria and Mexico imported more HRWrdquo Suppes says

Suppes says a significant portion of these donations went to Ethiopia because their country was facing famine

Suppes strongly believes that mon-etization is a strong tool that will provide necessary commodi-ties to food-insecure areas and will benefit development programs by ldquogenerating funding from the sales of donat-ed US commoditiesrdquo

Not only does monetization benefit development pro-grams it can also give local small- and medium-sized buyers a competitive advantage because it is priced comparably to what a large buyer would pay

During Suppes trip to Tanzania he saw how the Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring wheat mone-tized there allowed the miller purchasing the wheat to pass along savings to their poorer customers He also visited four of the proj-ects funded by wheat monetization in the country

When asked about the importance of food aid Suppes replied ldquoIrsquom here because I think monetization is very important In fact Irsquom currently planting sorghum right now and my tractor is idle so thatrsquos how important I think it is I need to be here to talk to you about itrdquo

Suppes said in con-clusion ldquoThis is a year when the US wheat farmer has been a world leader in produc-ing a surplus of wheat It is a year when the US needs to be a world leader in helping provide for those in need with these ample suppliesrdquo

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

ldquoInterestingly both Wsm1 and Wsm3 as a

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

By John Schlageck Kansas Farm Bureau

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

(Continued from page 30) and our forefathers that evolution has been kind to us for we continue to embrace the arts pursue the sciences encour-age the interplay of ideas all kinds of ideas We are thank-ful for each other stillrdquo

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

all that comprise the event come from long ago from a time when hope moved a citizenry to accomplish the incredible

ldquoToday we realize that peo-ple like us are everywhererdquo the journal would say ldquothat

we share involvement in a common history ndash a history of anguish and at times cruel-ty and hardship but also of courage and warmth and rare nobility a history that gives us some feel of ourselves and will help us to endurerdquo

less terrorists ruth-less and our country godless Which leaves our clueless govern-ment fathomless and all us citizens speech-less

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

Rural MessengerPage 32 June 14 2017

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

One of the regu-

lars at our Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast club olrsquo A Payne Daily brought a sheet of paper to show us why we have so much to complain about in 2017 The pa-per reminded that our phones are wireless our cooking fireless our cars keyless our food fatless our tires tubeless our shirt and blouses sleeveless our youth jobless our leaders shameless our relationships mean-ingless our attitudes careless our babies fatherless too many folks shiftless our feelings heartless our education valueless our children manner-

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

Cowboy to Great Beyond

best way to really know Keene There wasnrsquot anything Keene couldnrsquot do and not much he didnrsquot do in his most colorful life not all realized until reading eulogy

That first training job for Keene brought additional clients with his personal calls and notes At retirement age Keene prided as ldquoear manrdquo for Cheyenne Frontier Days wild horse race

With lovely-wife Sue they were regu-lars and buyers at the horse field-day-sale Keene with another half-dozen cowboys photographed ldquoshoot-ing the bullrdquo makes great office wall picture

ldquoCome up and wersquoll go fox huntingrdquo Keenersquos invitation an unforgettable expe-rience ldquoHey I have a saddle I want you haverdquo accepted on a Thanksgiving Day

Keene is a book unwritten yet con-densed here Military family rambunctious teenager fisherman camper explorer hippy motorcyclist Army veteran scuba diver two sonsrsquo dad fiversquos grandpa builder of whatever imagined construction inspector farmer leatherworker horse teamster collec-tor master farrier

Far far from con-clusive Keene simply ldquoan unforgettable character who lived according to his own rules always dreaming big dreamsrdquo

Once more remind-ed of Ecclesiastes 3 ldquoTo everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenhelliprdquo

ldquoSay I have a couple of broncs I got from a rodeo contrac-tor up northwest They wouldnrsquot buck and I want you to break rsquoem to riderdquo

That was first in-troduction to Keene more than a dozen years ago It was beginning of a real cowboy friendship great comradery with a most unique talented individual

Only realizing hersquod passed last month after seeing an estate auction advertisement it was truly heartfelt loss

All of the Keene experiences were instantly reflected Smile automatically uncontrollably spreads just remembering

Roaring into the ranch yard diving out of the pickup Keene was all grins unload-ing those horses to train ldquoRodeo broncsrdquo was no exaggeration at least in appearance

Donrsquot know how old but big rugged scarred branded rough hair tangled long manes tails un-trimmed at-least-shoe-size-four-feet roan draft horses

Tales of the horses his lifersquos adventures flowed as now-broad-er-grinning Keene aired meager expec-tations ldquoYou get rsquoem started and Irsquoll ride rsquoemrdquo promise taken lightly

Never ldquogentle giantsrdquo the ldquobroncsrdquo were rideable with enough cowboy try Keene had that Not perfect they did ev-erything cattle work trail rides fox hunts pulled wagons what-ever their big cow-boy-owner decided

Kansas farmer testifies on importance of food aid By Brooke Haas Kansas Wheat Communications Intern

On June 7 Ron Sup-pes a Kansas wheat farmer and former US Wheat Associates Chairman testified in front of the House Agriculture Committee on the importance of food aid discussing his recent trip to Tanzania where he viewed pro-grams that used wheat

Suppes is a wheat farmer from Dighton Kansas and food aid is a topic that hits home to him On his recent trip to Tanza-nia Suppes gained more knowledge than ever about wheat food aid programs He then decided to take his knowledge back to America to talk to

farmers about the value these programs offer

For over 60 years the wheat industry has led a helping-hand in being a partner with the US food aid American farmers are proud to share a part with the US food aid and are sharing their crop with the rest of the world

ldquoMore wheat is used in US in-kind aid than any other com-modity averaging 40 percent of the total It is also the most pop-ular commodity for monetizationrdquo said Suppes ldquoIt is a versa-tile product and of key dietary importancemdashbread products are staples in diets around the world Wheat is the source of 20 percent of the worldrsquos caloric

intake and provides 20 percent of protein for the worldrsquos most vulnerable 4 billion peoplerdquo

The US is the top leader of food aid donations and total de-velopment assistance Suppes says the wheat he grows is ldquodoing good half way around the worldrdquo and feels that is something to be proud of

ldquoWhat the world likes about US wheat is the quality as well as the consistency so they donrsquot have to change their mill settings Wersquore the most reliable source of wheat in the world and you go visit these customers we have and theyrsquoll tell you thatrdquo

Food aid continues (Continued on page 15)

(Continued from page 14) to be a powerful tool used to help others in need

Suppes said ldquoIt helps generate good-will in other countries a sentiment I saw first-hand in Tanzania But in the short-term these programs also involve a significant amount of wheat a fact not lost on Kansas farmers with full grain bins and more wheat piled on the ground from last yearrsquos historically high harvestrdquo

ldquoWhile these tools have a place in foreign assistance programs US commodities play an important role in helping regions unable to produce wheat and other commodities on their own due to drought conflict or other circumstancesrdquo he says ldquoWe have enough surplus that no one should be going hungryrdquo

ldquoIn marketing year 201516 we sent almost 600000 metric tons (MT) or about 22 million bushels of HRW as food aid That makes up almost 10 percent of last yearrsquos HRW exports and only Japan Nigeria and Mexico imported more HRWrdquo Suppes says

Suppes says a significant portion of these donations went to Ethiopia because their country was facing famine

Suppes strongly believes that mon-etization is a strong tool that will provide necessary commodi-ties to food-insecure areas and will benefit development programs by ldquogenerating funding from the sales of donat-ed US commoditiesrdquo

Not only does monetization benefit development pro-grams it can also give local small- and medium-sized buyers a competitive advantage because it is priced comparably to what a large buyer would pay

During Suppes trip to Tanzania he saw how the Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring wheat mone-tized there allowed the miller purchasing the wheat to pass along savings to their poorer customers He also visited four of the proj-ects funded by wheat monetization in the country

When asked about the importance of food aid Suppes replied ldquoIrsquom here because I think monetization is very important In fact Irsquom currently planting sorghum right now and my tractor is idle so thatrsquos how important I think it is I need to be here to talk to you about itrdquo

Suppes said in con-clusion ldquoThis is a year when the US wheat farmer has been a world leader in produc-ing a surplus of wheat It is a year when the US needs to be a world leader in helping provide for those in need with these ample suppliesrdquo

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

all that comprise the event come from long ago from a time when hope moved a citizenry to accomplish the incredible

ldquoToday we realize that peo-ple like us are everywhererdquo the journal would say ldquothat

we share involvement in a common history ndash a history of anguish and at times cruel-ty and hardship but also of courage and warmth and rare nobility a history that gives us some feel of ourselves and will help us to endurerdquo

less terrorists ruth-less and our country godless Which leaves our clueless govern-ment fathomless and all us citizens speech-less

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

Rural MessengerPage 32 June 14 2017

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

Kansas farmer testifies on importance of food aid By Brooke Haas Kansas Wheat Communications Intern

On June 7 Ron Sup-pes a Kansas wheat farmer and former US Wheat Associates Chairman testified in front of the House Agriculture Committee on the importance of food aid discussing his recent trip to Tanzania where he viewed pro-grams that used wheat

Suppes is a wheat farmer from Dighton Kansas and food aid is a topic that hits home to him On his recent trip to Tanza-nia Suppes gained more knowledge than ever about wheat food aid programs He then decided to take his knowledge back to America to talk to

farmers about the value these programs offer

For over 60 years the wheat industry has led a helping-hand in being a partner with the US food aid American farmers are proud to share a part with the US food aid and are sharing their crop with the rest of the world

ldquoMore wheat is used in US in-kind aid than any other com-modity averaging 40 percent of the total It is also the most pop-ular commodity for monetizationrdquo said Suppes ldquoIt is a versa-tile product and of key dietary importancemdashbread products are staples in diets around the world Wheat is the source of 20 percent of the worldrsquos caloric

intake and provides 20 percent of protein for the worldrsquos most vulnerable 4 billion peoplerdquo

The US is the top leader of food aid donations and total de-velopment assistance Suppes says the wheat he grows is ldquodoing good half way around the worldrdquo and feels that is something to be proud of

ldquoWhat the world likes about US wheat is the quality as well as the consistency so they donrsquot have to change their mill settings Wersquore the most reliable source of wheat in the world and you go visit these customers we have and theyrsquoll tell you thatrdquo

Food aid continues (Continued on page 15)

(Continued from page 14) to be a powerful tool used to help others in need

Suppes said ldquoIt helps generate good-will in other countries a sentiment I saw first-hand in Tanzania But in the short-term these programs also involve a significant amount of wheat a fact not lost on Kansas farmers with full grain bins and more wheat piled on the ground from last yearrsquos historically high harvestrdquo

ldquoWhile these tools have a place in foreign assistance programs US commodities play an important role in helping regions unable to produce wheat and other commodities on their own due to drought conflict or other circumstancesrdquo he says ldquoWe have enough surplus that no one should be going hungryrdquo

ldquoIn marketing year 201516 we sent almost 600000 metric tons (MT) or about 22 million bushels of HRW as food aid That makes up almost 10 percent of last yearrsquos HRW exports and only Japan Nigeria and Mexico imported more HRWrdquo Suppes says

Suppes says a significant portion of these donations went to Ethiopia because their country was facing famine

Suppes strongly believes that mon-etization is a strong tool that will provide necessary commodi-ties to food-insecure areas and will benefit development programs by ldquogenerating funding from the sales of donat-ed US commoditiesrdquo

Not only does monetization benefit development pro-grams it can also give local small- and medium-sized buyers a competitive advantage because it is priced comparably to what a large buyer would pay

During Suppes trip to Tanzania he saw how the Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring wheat mone-tized there allowed the miller purchasing the wheat to pass along savings to their poorer customers He also visited four of the proj-ects funded by wheat monetization in the country

When asked about the importance of food aid Suppes replied ldquoIrsquom here because I think monetization is very important In fact Irsquom currently planting sorghum right now and my tractor is idle so thatrsquos how important I think it is I need to be here to talk to you about itrdquo

Suppes said in con-clusion ldquoThis is a year when the US wheat farmer has been a world leader in produc-ing a surplus of wheat It is a year when the US needs to be a world leader in helping provide for those in need with these ample suppliesrdquo

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

By John Schlageck Kansas Farm Bureau

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

One of the regu-

lars at our Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast club olrsquo A Payne Daily brought a sheet of paper to show us why we have so much to complain about in 2017 The pa-per reminded that our phones are wireless our cooking fireless our cars keyless our food fatless our tires tubeless our shirt and blouses sleeveless our youth jobless our leaders shameless our relationships mean-ingless our attitudes careless our babies fatherless too many folks shiftless our feelings heartless our education valueless our children manner-

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

(Continued from page 14) to be a powerful tool used to help others in need

Suppes said ldquoIt helps generate good-will in other countries a sentiment I saw first-hand in Tanzania But in the short-term these programs also involve a significant amount of wheat a fact not lost on Kansas farmers with full grain bins and more wheat piled on the ground from last yearrsquos historically high harvestrdquo

ldquoWhile these tools have a place in foreign assistance programs US commodities play an important role in helping regions unable to produce wheat and other commodities on their own due to drought conflict or other circumstancesrdquo he says ldquoWe have enough surplus that no one should be going hungryrdquo

ldquoIn marketing year 201516 we sent almost 600000 metric tons (MT) or about 22 million bushels of HRW as food aid That makes up almost 10 percent of last yearrsquos HRW exports and only Japan Nigeria and Mexico imported more HRWrdquo Suppes says

Suppes says a significant portion of these donations went to Ethiopia because their country was facing famine

Suppes strongly believes that mon-etization is a strong tool that will provide necessary commodi-ties to food-insecure areas and will benefit development programs by ldquogenerating funding from the sales of donat-ed US commoditiesrdquo

Not only does monetization benefit development pro-grams it can also give local small- and medium-sized buyers a competitive advantage because it is priced comparably to what a large buyer would pay

During Suppes trip to Tanzania he saw how the Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring wheat mone-tized there allowed the miller purchasing the wheat to pass along savings to their poorer customers He also visited four of the proj-ects funded by wheat monetization in the country

When asked about the importance of food aid Suppes replied ldquoIrsquom here because I think monetization is very important In fact Irsquom currently planting sorghum right now and my tractor is idle so thatrsquos how important I think it is I need to be here to talk to you about itrdquo

Suppes said in con-clusion ldquoThis is a year when the US wheat farmer has been a world leader in produc-ing a surplus of wheat It is a year when the US needs to be a world leader in helping provide for those in need with these ample suppliesrdquo

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

By John Schlageck Kansas Farm Bureau

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Note to media edi-tors We will provide a specific site location along with accessibility to its owner or subject matter expert Mike Kandt for interviews upon request along with a representative

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Univer-sity researchers have identified a gene that will provide resistance to the wheat streak mosaic virus a disease that is currently caus-ing economic losses in Kansas fields

Bernd Friebe a research professor with the Wheat Genet-ic Resources Center in the Department of Plant Pathology said the Wsm3 gene is just the third gene known to provide resistance to the virus ndash and the first that can do so at outdoor temperatures of 75 degrees Fahren-heit and higher

ldquoWe need more genetic diversityrdquo for controlling wheat streak mosaic virus

Friebe said ldquoLeaf stripe and stem rust each have about 70 named resistant genes This is progress toward developing more re-sistance toward wheat streak mosaic virusrdquo

Wheat streak mo-saic virus is charac-terized by streaks of yellow-non-uniform discoloration in wheat Plants infected as seedlings are often stunted and have a reduced head size The disease causes yield losses so severe that in extreme cases the crop can not be harvested

Kansas Wheat a partnership between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers reported in late May

Wsm3 is the first gene known to be effective at higher temperatures

that the wheat streak mosaic virus is nega-tively affecting fields in western and central Kansas Crop losses could be as high as 20 percent in some areas

In the past farmersrsquo efforts to control the virus have focused mostly on removing volunteer wheat which harbors the wheat curl mite the primary carri-er of the wheat streak mosaic virus

The first two genes known to provide resis-tance to the virus were Wsm1 ndash identified by Kansas State Univer-sity about 25 years ago ndash and Wsm2 which was discovered by re-searchers at Colorado State University

But those two genes only provide protection in lower temperatures Used in combination with Wsm1 or Wsm2 the warm-weather friendly Wsm3 could become part of a breeding mix that can give farmersrsquo much-needed relief Friebe said

The new Wsm3 germplasm has been released through the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station It is currently available to breeders through the National Science Foundationrsquos IndustryUniversity Cooperative Researcher Centers program ndash whose mem-bers have immediate access to the germ-plasm ndash but will also be available to public breeding programs in two years

Through traditional breeding processes it can take several years before resistance genes show up in varieties available for planting

ldquoKansas State Uni-versity is putting it into Everest wheat linesrdquo said Friebe referring to the universityrsquos most

popular variety cur-rently Everest was first released to growers in 2009 and in 2017 is the No 1 wheat variety planted in Kansas for the fifth straight year

Kansas State Uni-versityrsquos work in this area began more than 25 years ago when researchers studied resistant germplasm developed by South Dakota State Univer-sity scientist Darrell Wells and his co-work-ers Friebe said the resistance was derived from a wild relative of wheat Thinopyrum intermedium better known as wheatgrass

The resistant gene was named Wsm1 Friebe said it took K-State researchers nearly 20 years from the beginning of the study to the point where they had devel-oped a Wsm1 germ-plasm with reduced wheatgrass genetic material available for wheat breeding

Technology has since improved and it took researchers about six years from identifying Wsm3 which was also derived from wheat-grass and the release of a germplasm which has only a small wheatgrass segment Breeding programs have also improved and instead of 10-12 years to see the resis-tance show up in new varieties it will like-ly take less time for Wsm3

bonus are also confer-ring resistance to the Triticum mosaic virus (a related virus also affecting wheat yields) but only at cooler temperaturesrdquo Friebe said

Until newly-devel-oped resistant varieties are available growers are urged to continue with best practices for controlling the spread of the wheat streak mosaic virus in their fields They include timely removal of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds avoid-ing early planting and planting current-ly-available resistant varieties

By John Schlageck Kansas Farm Bureau

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

By John Schlageck Kansas Farm Bureau

While I hoped Irsquod never hear this phrase roll of the lips off a farmer or rancher again I did the other day I heard someone say ldquoIrsquom just a farmerrdquo

Wersquove all heard these words before Wersquove heard them said at the elevator the grocery story the local cafeacute church and just about everywhere else in rural Kansas

I heard them for the first time in years at a local Co-op in the southwestern part of our state They were uttered by an articulate bright young man

When asked for his

name he cheerfully told me When asked his occupation the man dressed in jeans a flannel shirt and seed cap looked down at his boots well-worn and nicked and replied soft-ly ldquoJust a farmerrdquo

Just a farmer With those three

words he revealed his uncertainty about the value of his profession As if because of his oc-cupation his comments wouldnrsquot count

There is no such occupation as ldquoJust a farmerrdquo In Kansas and other states across our country farming is a proud and cherished lifestyle It is also the number one business in Kansas

Farmers are responsi-ble for the food we buy in our grocery stores and serve to our fami-lies each day

Kansas farmers sow more than seeds in the ground ndash they establish the roots that anchor our communities They also supply many other items from their farms that are used in our nationrsquos industry

Travel through rural Kansas and yoursquoll meet and talk to farmers and ranchers who not only care about their land but the towns where they live They not only work to grow crops and livestock but to make their communities a better place to live

Without question rural communities thrive and prosper when farmers ranchers and community busi-nesses work together for the common good Probably the single greatest roadblock for success and growth in any community is a lack of organized leadership with vision and the determination to implement forward

thinking Fortunately Kansans and Kansas farmers and ranchers have always adhered to a ldquocan dordquo attitude

We continue to build on a long and proud heritage of self-help and self-responsibili-ty by investing in our farms ranches busi-nesses communities and the people we employ We believe our communities and our way of life can continue to be a part of a livable frontier ndash a community and state of mind where there is always room to grow and prosper

And when weather calamities devastate a region of our state people pull together and help one another survive while looking to better times ahead

Yes as I have always said ldquoNo one is lsquojustrsquo a farmer teacher mail-man lawyer or grocer Everyone is important especially the Kansas farmer and rancher when it comes to put-ting the most nutritious abundant food on our kitchen tablesrdquo

Stand up revel in your vocation Be proud Providing food fuel and fiber for the people of this world is without a doubt the most noble profession one can be a part of

So the next time yoursquore asked what is your profession you might consider re-sponding like this ldquoYes Irsquom a farmer stockman and therersquos nothing Irsquod rather be Therersquos not a better place Irsquod rather live work and raise my family My vocation involves helping feed the world and I have dedicated my life to doing sordquo

John Schlageck is a leading commentator on agriculture and rural Kansas Born and raised on a diversified farm in northwestern Kansas his writing reflects a lifetime of experience knowledge and passion

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Note to media edi-tors We will provide a specific site location along with accessibility to its owner or subject matter expert Mike Kandt for interviews upon request along with a representative

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

It is not too late to plant tomatoes in the garden Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in Kansas gardens They are easy to grow produc-tive in small garden areas and used in a wide variety of ways There are about 4000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from so you can pick your favorite by experimenting with any you want Big to small green to purple even black varieties So have fun

Tomatoes require a lo-cation that is fairly fertile well-drained and sunny getting at least a half day of sun or more Smaller vine tomatoes can be grown in containers

VarietiesMost modern tomato

varieties are hybrids with disease resistance Certain

varieties produce well in our variable climate Fl91 Jet Star Mt Spring Mt Fresh Celebrity Scar-let Red Red Defender Security28 Fabulous and Fl 47 are adapted varieties as well as several other hybrids Whopper and Beefmaster are large ldquobeef-steakrdquo types For canning choose the productive and firm-fruited

LaRoma Campbells or Heinz varieties Small fruited or cherry varieties include Mt Belle

Red Cherry Small Fry Sweet 100 and Cherry Grande Patio Pixie and Tiny Tim are dwarf variet-ies well suited to container growing

When to plantPlant tomatoes after

all danger of frost is past Early May is the common spring planting time For a later harvest tomatoes can

be planted as late as JuneSpacingMost garden tomatoes

should be spaced at least 18 inches to 2 feet apart in rows 3ndash5 feet apart Dwarf varieties can be spaced closer

CareTomatoes are usually

grown from transplants Choose a strong healthy transplant that has a dark green color and balance between the size of the plant and the container Set the plant slightly deeper than the container and firm soil well around the root system Water with a starter solution immediately after planting Tomatoes respond to mulching because they require stable soil mois-ture Black plastic mulch encourages early growth while organic mulches are excellent for summer when applied 2ndash3 weeks after

planting Weeds compete with tomatoes for nutrients water and light

Use shallow cultivation near the plants to scrape away small weeds A side dressing of fertilizer when the first fruit on the plant are about the size of a wal-nut usually will improve yields and lengthen the harvest period Cold nights early in the growth period or hot dry windy weath-er may cause blossom damage or blossom drop Irregular shaped fruit called ldquocatfacedrdquo fruit may develop from early cold pe-riods Avoid excessive fer-tilization as it may increase catfacing and blossom drop as well as fruit deformities

HarvestingTomatoes will ripen on

or off the plant when the fruit are full sized and starting to show a slight tinge of color Harvest

early to reduce the chances of cracking fruit rots and other damage Early har-vest encourages additional production Store ripening fruit at 55degF for maximum storage life or place them in a warmer location for quicker ripening Red pigments do not form in temperatures of 95degF or above therefore deeper red color will result from ripening off the vine in summer heat

At the end of the season harvest all full-sized fruit and store them in a cool basement for ripening to enjoy fresh tomatoes 1ndash2 months after the last freeze

Common concerns leaf blight diseases mites aphids blossom end rot fruit worms or horn worms

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Note to media edi-tors We will provide a specific site location along with accessibility to its owner or subject matter expert Mike Kandt for interviews upon request along with a representative

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

Water Garden TourMankindrsquos fasci-

nation with water is almost as old as civi-lization itself Current headlines only cover the extremesndashdroughts or floodingndashbut there are more intrinsic pos-itive values associated with water those that bring a sense of peace to chaos in our modern lives

This is exactly what the Kansas Pond So-ciety hopes to demon-strate with their 2017 Water Garden Tour on Fathers Day weekend June 17th and 18th For the nominal fee of $10 a carload the Kansas Pond Society has plotted an adven-turous route of water features all designed to inspire even teach causal area gardeners the rudimentary basics in creating a water sanctuary in their own back yard

Featured on the tour are distinct sites from water gardens with gorgeous hardscap-ing and gardens with hidden lsquosecretsrsquo to

the studio of a one-of-a-kind inspirational lsquoSteampunkrsquo artist who proves that adults can indeed have fun in their own yards

Another motivation for the Water Garden Tour is helping to fight childhood cancer by hosting Alexrsquos Lem-onade Stands at two tour-sites Alexandra ldquoAlexrdquo Flynn Scott was diagnosed with neuro-blastoma a pediatric cancer two days before her first birthday In spite of her own failing health she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help children with cancer In spite of her death at the age of eight her legacy continues with Alexrsquos Lemonade Stand Foundation This is a registered 501(c)3 charity and has raised more than $100 mil-lion toward fulfilling her dream of finding a cure

Mike Kandt KPS president says the KPS is a garden club dedicated to helping

others have a more successful experi-ence in building and maintaining ponds ldquoOur club members have considerable experiencerdquo he says ldquoWe share problems and solutionsrdquo The KPS meets the first Saturday of the each month Besides month-ly programs the club offers road trips to a variety of locations and events Kandt summed up the clubrsquos benefits ldquoOverall we just try to have funrdquo The Kansas Pond Society is one of the largest garden clubs in the Wichita Area Garden Council with more than 25 years sharing a mission to support Botanica while promoting water gardening

Tickets and maps for the Water Garden Tour can be purchased at Hongrsquos Nursery both Johnsonrsquos Gar-den Centers Scenic Landscapes and Tails and Scales Pet Shop in DerbyThe garden sites on the tour are open between 9am and 5 pm Saturday and noon to 5 pm Sunday June 17th and 18th

Note to media edi-tors We will provide a specific site location along with accessibility to its owner or subject matter expert Mike Kandt for interviews upon request along with a representative

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Rural MessengerPage 30 June 14 2017

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo it might be entered ldquoWe thank the Almighty (Continued on page 31)

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

all that comprise the event come from long ago from a time when hope moved a citizenry to accomplish the incredible

ldquoToday we realize that peo-ple like us are everywhererdquo the journal would say ldquothat

we share involvement in a common history ndash a history of anguish and at times cruel-ty and hardship but also of courage and warmth and rare nobility a history that gives us some feel of ourselves and will help us to endurerdquo

less terrorists ruth-less and our country godless Which leaves our clueless govern-ment fathomless and all us citizens speech-less

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

One of the regu-

lars at our Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast club olrsquo A Payne Daily brought a sheet of paper to show us why we have so much to complain about in 2017 The pa-per reminded that our phones are wireless our cooking fireless our cars keyless our food fatless our tires tubeless our shirt and blouses sleeveless our youth jobless our leaders shameless our relationships mean-ingless our attitudes careless our babies fatherless too many folks shiftless our feelings heartless our education valueless our children manner-

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

Still Early to Treat BagwormsMany bagworms

have hatched and have come out of the moth-errsquos bag but we are still a bit early to treat as we may miss those that are late to emerge The latter half of June is a good target to treat for these insects How-ever make sure you have living bagworms as sometimes natural predators and parasites provide good levels of control Look for a miniature version of the mature bagworm They are still tiny and are about the size of the lead point on a pencil

Insecticides com-monly used for con-trolling bagworms include spinosad (Con-serve Fertilome Borer Bagworm Leafminer amp

Tent Caterpillar Spray Captain Jackrsquos Dead Bug Brew Bonide Caterpillar Killer) Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel Thuricide) acephate (Acephate Orthene Bonide Sys-temic Insect Control) cyfluthrin (Tempo Bayer Vegetable amp Garden Insect Spray) and permethrin (nu-merous trade names) Products containing Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) are only effective

when used against bagworm larvae while they are still small Note that spinosad and BT are both organic but spinosad is a more effective product especially on larger larvae

Thorough coverage is vital for good control Most failures are due to the spray not pene-trating deep enough in the tree rather than the insecticide not work-ing (Ward Upham)

HEREFORD TEXAS

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

Rural MessengerPage 32 June 14 2017

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

One of the regu-

lars at our Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast club olrsquo A Payne Daily brought a sheet of paper to show us why we have so much to complain about in 2017 The pa-per reminded that our phones are wireless our cooking fireless our cars keyless our food fatless our tires tubeless our shirt and blouses sleeveless our youth jobless our leaders shameless our relationships mean-ingless our attitudes careless our babies fatherless too many folks shiftless our feelings heartless our education valueless our children manner-

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

MANHATTAN Kan ndash Kansas State Uni-versity has received funding to further its work in managing groundwater ndash a topic especially important in Kansas and other states where critical water resources are being depleted much faster than theyrsquore being replenished

The US Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture award-ed $499917 to the university to deter-mine the best ways for farmers participating in local groups to effectively manage groundwater resources such as the Ogallala Aquifer on which rural communities rely for water and farmers have depended on for years to irrigate their crops

The Ogallala under-lies eight Great Plains states and provides wa-ter to nearly one-fifth of the wheat corn cot-ton and cattle raised in

the United States But the million-year-old 174000-square-mile underground reservoir is being depleted at an unsustainable rate

Depleting an aquifer such as the Ogalla-la a part of the High Plains Aquifer through agricultural irrigation can ultimately have negative economic impacts on farmers due to reduced returns in the future said Nathan Hendricks a K-State agricultural economist who is leading the four-year project For that reason farmers have an incentive to collec-tively manage the ex-traction of water from the aquifer to maxi-mize the net benefits of using it over time

To help extend the life of aquifers by conserving the water in them Kansas recently embarked on a policy experiment to encour-age greater collective management of the Ogallala in western

Kansas by local farm-ers In some areas management plans called Local Enhanced Management Areas or LEMAs have been developed Once approved by boards of directors from Ground-water Management Districts those plans become binding on everyone within the policy boundary

Other plans called Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) are management plans that have also been implemented in parts of Kansas Participa-tion in WCAs is purely voluntary

ldquoOur project will examine how to formu-late these LEMAs and WCAs in a way that obtains support among farmers to effectively manage the groundwa-terrdquo Hendricks said ldquoWe will also look at how LEMAs and WCAs can be used together effectivelyrdquo

Hendricks and a team will study how economic incentives characteristics of water users and policy design affect support for the collective management among water users The team will also examine voluntary approaches compared with man-datory approaches to water management and

the interaction between the two approaches

The intent is help foster the success of LEMAs and WCAs with an eye toward slowing the aquiferrsquos depletion

ldquoMore broadly our project is of interest to other regions of the US that seek to find ways for local resource users to collectively manage their resourc-esrdquo Hendricks added

The grant is one of 49 USDA-NIFA awards to improve sustainable agriculture and help rural communities thrive according to a USDA statement The funding announced May 16 and totaling $179 million was made possible through NIFArsquos Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill

USDA-NIFA also awarded $49716 to Kansas State Univer-sity to coordinate and host a workshop on the economics of animal health and biosecurity K-State agricultural economist Dustin Pen-dell is the lead investi-gator on that project

A number of factors are involved in achiev-ing economic success in rural communities said NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy in the announcement ldquoThese NIFA invest-ments will help us un-derstand the social and behavioral factors that inform decision-mak-ing in agriculture which can help rural communities thrive

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

One of the regu-

lars at our Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast club olrsquo A Payne Daily brought a sheet of paper to show us why we have so much to complain about in 2017 The pa-per reminded that our phones are wireless our cooking fireless our cars keyless our food fatless our tires tubeless our shirt and blouses sleeveless our youth jobless our leaders shameless our relationships mean-ingless our attitudes careless our babies fatherless too many folks shiftless our feelings heartless our education valueless our children manner-

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

There is a thread that runs through my earliest memories from my childhood all the way to present time Now this is when I would love to have this thread be some won-derful attribute that my family had been gifted but sadly it is much more mundane Tele-vision It has always been on ndash every day of my life My actual first memory is my mother sitting down beside me on the couch in the living room and en-couraging me to never forget what we were watching It was the funeral of JFK

That box kept (actu-ally) humming cath-ode ray tubes throwing heat and light from the back of our BampW TV like the soundtrack of my life These were the days that I actually believed that Captain Kangaroo lived in the back of MY TV which was great until my much older brother took great delight in allowing this much too young and gull-

ible little sister to sit beside him watching King Kong through the spaces between my fingers trying to hide my eyes I am pretty sure his favorite part was when he shut the TV off and looked at me and suggested that it must be pretty scary for Captain Kangaroo back there with King Kong

Over the years I remember watching the Huntley-Brinkley nightly news as we ate dinner witness-ing the ever growing body count half a world away in Viet-nam Many nights were spent sitting together watching Ed Sullivan visiting with Topo-Gigio Laugh

In and The Monkeys Sadly another count was shared every night again at the dinner table sounding like the following Thats the way it is Thursday June 12 1980 the 222nd day of captivi-ty for the hostages in Iran This is Walter Cronkite CBS News Good night This was the last nightly news show I would watch for several months as I left the next day for Basic Training in the United States Navy

All these years later I must admit that I live alone in a 900 +- sqft loft and have three TV sometimes several on at the same time This last week I was glued to the ldquoidiot boxrdquo listening to the Congressional Hearing of Jim Comey when I heard him say and I quote rdquoLordy I hope there are tapesrdquo I was immediately back to those afternoons in the early 70s when I would rush home from school to watch the Watergate hearings

So this weekend as I was driving home from a great 3 day visit

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Exploring Kansas OutdoorsBy Steve Gilliland

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural MessengerPage 30 June 14 2017

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo it might be entered ldquoWe thank the Almighty (Continued on page 31)

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

all that comprise the event come from long ago from a time when hope moved a citizenry to accomplish the incredible

ldquoToday we realize that peo-ple like us are everywhererdquo the journal would say ldquothat

we share involvement in a common history ndash a history of anguish and at times cruel-ty and hardship but also of courage and warmth and rare nobility a history that gives us some feel of ourselves and will help us to endurerdquo

less terrorists ruth-less and our country godless Which leaves our clueless govern-ment fathomless and all us citizens speech-less

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

Rural MessengerPage 32 June 14 2017

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

One of the regu-

lars at our Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast club olrsquo A Payne Daily brought a sheet of paper to show us why we have so much to complain about in 2017 The pa-per reminded that our phones are wireless our cooking fireless our cars keyless our food fatless our tires tubeless our shirt and blouses sleeveless our youth jobless our leaders shameless our relationships mean-ingless our attitudes careless our babies fatherless too many folks shiftless our feelings heartless our education valueless our children manner-

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

(Family Features) The same type of technolo-gy used in some of the United States Navyrsquos most powerful ships also powers handheld lawn equipmentA lineup of string trimmers leaf blowers and hedge trimmers from Cub Cadet use an innovative tech-nology to power the units called CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) The sophisticated motor technology generates power equal to gas engines and maximizes pound-for-pound power

efficiency compared to its 25 cubic centimeter gas-powered enginesThe technology also features a unique Power-Lok system This standalone drive unit offers lightweight high-performance string trimmer blower and hedge trimmer attachments It saves storage space and money with one tool that does the job of three different unitsPrinted circuit board technology and mag-netic rotors generate concentrated efficient power and torque that

is on par with gas-pow-ered units so the toughest outdoor chal-lenges can be tackled without the fill-ups fumes or pull-starts of gas enginesBy delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage CORE technology leverages a revolutionary motor de-sign and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed It also features zero gasoline emissions and much less noise than

gas-powered equip-mentBecause the motor con-sists of lighter weight materials and does not require a gas tank it is lighter for users to operateWith longer runtimes than other gasless tools the technology offers all the power needed for various outdoor projects with nearly 45 minutes of power on one charge The typical recharge time is 1 hourMore information is available at CubCadetcom

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

Whatrsquos in YOUR PondItrsquos fishing season

again and if the fishing experience in your pond needs ldquotuned-uprdquo this is the time to do that My friend whose pond ldquoturnedrdquo this spring obliterating all his fish got his pond restocked Friday the fish came from Hartley Fish Farm 5 miles west of King-man KS Hartleyrsquos has been family owned and operated since 1946 and depending upon rain amounts contains 300 to 600 acres of water in 100 different ponds I spoke at length with Bill Hartley who talked me through all the questions he would ask a pond owner when deciding how to stock or restock their pond

First they need to know how deep the pond is and how big it is in acres As long as itrsquos at least 6 feet deep (which most are) the depth is not real important but the size is important since the acre-age determines the num-ber of fish added Next theyrsquoll want to know if itrsquos a new pond or a pond without fish or if it al-ready contains fish If itrsquos an older pond containing fish theyrsquoll want to know what is being caught and how healthy the fish are Next theyrsquoll want to know the clarity of the pond is it covered with moss andor other aquatic weeds or is it relatively moss and weed free Then they will want to know your plans for the pond do you want to fish only for bass or do you want a well rounded population of different fish like catfish and bluegills for family and grandkids to catch

If the pond is new or if it contains no fish or very few fish for whatever reason its relatively free of weeds and moss and if the owner wants a bal-anced population of dif-ferent species Hartleyrsquos standard and least ex-pensive recommendation goes something like this in the spring stock 300 fingerling bluegills and red ear sunfish per acre 50 (8 to 12 inch) catfish per acre if they wonrsquot be fed any commercial food or 150 per acre if they will be fed and 2000 fat head minnows per acre Creating and maintain-ing a large population of minnows as forage for the other fish is a key to a healthy growing fish population Hartley says These minnows will also spawn and multiply if conditions are right and Hartley suggests sink-ing cinder blocks old PVC pipe or car tires as objects to which they can

if the pond is weedy Grass carp will control all aquatic plants that are rooted to the pond bottom and are the best long term solution for weed control but any floating moss or algae will have to be controlled with chemicals preferable in early spring But be vig-ilant when killing moss and algae with chemi-cals as the dying and decaying vegetation can sap the oxygen from the water and kill the fish thus creating the very situation my friend had faced When I was a kid we had a nice pond that the conservation people recommended stocking with largemouth bass and bluegills and though some bass grew large the pond filled with small

stunted bluegills and always had big patches of moss which we struggled to control Hartley says that moss and weed re-moval is essential for the large growing fish to be able to control bluegill and sunfish populations as small fish are able to hide in any vegetation and escape the larger predator fish Large-mouth bass smallmouth bass walleyes and crap-pies should be added in the fall after the minnows have had the summer to multiply as forage for those more predatory fish As an interesting trivia fact Hartley says it takes 10 pounds of forage to add 1 pound of weight to a bass and only 2 pounds of forage to add 1 pound to a catfish

Although the above recommendations are pretty standard Hartley says that every pond is different and their sug-gestions for each pond will differ according to conditions for example whether the pond is moss and algae covered whether itrsquos already full of stunted bass or blue-gills etc He says they even find differences from one pond to another at their fish farm Above all Bill Hartley stressed that despite their recom-mendations in the end they will do whatever the customer wants done Oh and by the way they can even add some of their hybrid bluegills to a pond especially for the kids to catch They get big and plump are feisty

and loads of fun to catch and are 90 males so they wonrsquot overpopulate

Hey its fishinrsquo sea-son again so whether you have a new pond just begginrsquo for fish or whether your older pond is dead and devoid of life before the grandkids threaten to chuck you into the depths of Davey Jones Locker until they have fish to catch get hold of the Hartley fami-ly at Hartleyrsquos Fish Farm wwwhartleyfishfarmsinccom and let them help you put some life into your water to help you better Explore Kansas Outdoors

Steve can be contacted by email at stevenrgillil-andgmailcom

attach their eggs Feed-ing the minnows with the kind of catfish food that sinks to the bottom is also helpful He also recommends 10 (10 inch) grass carp per acre if the pond is clean more

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

all that comprise the event come from long ago from a time when hope moved a citizenry to accomplish the incredible

ldquoToday we realize that peo-ple like us are everywhererdquo the journal would say ldquothat

we share involvement in a common history ndash a history of anguish and at times cruel-ty and hardship but also of courage and warmth and rare nobility a history that gives us some feel of ourselves and will help us to endurerdquo

less terrorists ruth-less and our country godless Which leaves our clueless govern-ment fathomless and all us citizens speech-less

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

Rural MessengerPage 38 June 14 2017

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

For the first time in nearly 40 years a new source of water is flowing into the fish and wildlife conser-vation pool in John Martin Reservoir That pool which has histor-ically been minimally maintained through the purchase of Colorado River water is intend-ed to provide a perma-nent pool of water to protect the reservoirrsquos world-class fishery

The water for the permanent pool was approved on a one-year agreement between Colorado and Kansas the two states whose citizens are the prima-

ry recreational users of the reservoir If extended beyond the first year it would have a significant beneficial impact on fishing and boating at John Martin in drought years when the reservoir can run dry killing fish and destroying habitat and recreational opportu-nities

The improved main-tenance of the perma-nent pool was made possible in May when the Arkansas River Compact Administra-tion passed a historic resolution allowing CPW to run water in the Highland Ditch on

the Purgatoire River in Bent County into John Martin Reservoir Stip-ulations in the tempo-rary agreement state that 6000 acre-feet of water may be deliv-ered during specific time periods and with consideration of transit losses

If the water flow goes as planned CPW hopes to renew the agreement for 2018 and work to make it a permanent agreement

The water agreement is the culmination of long negotiations between a variety of agencies including CPW the Colorado

CPW secures water for permanent pool Water Conservation Board the Lower Ar-kansas Water Manage-ment Association and the Attorney Generalrsquos office and brought to fruition through extensive collabora-tion between the state engineers of Colorado and Kansas

ldquoThis is really mon-umentalrdquo said Dan Prenzlow manager of CPWrsquos Southeast Region ldquoThis is good for parks It is good for fisheries Itrsquos a really big deal and itrsquos solving a decades-old problemrdquo

Simply put decades ago CPW bought a valuable water right that it hoped to use to

maintain the perma-nent pool at John Mar-tin But it was barred by legal restraints from sending the water downstream CPW hopes that continuation of this agreement will protect the permanent pool for the long term

ldquoThe result of this finer application of our water rights will be better protection of the fishery and boating re-source at John Martinrdquo said Brett Ackerman CPW deputy regional manager who oversaw the negotiations for the pilot agreement ldquoWith this agreement we hope to keep the pool at John Martin closer to full

ldquoThis will reduce the need and expense of fishery restoration after reservoir draw-downs and abate the need to frequently purchase costly Colorado River water saving the agen-cy considerable money and resourcesrdquo

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

Rogers View From The Hills

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural MessengerPage 30 June 14 2017

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo it might be entered ldquoWe thank the Almighty (Continued on page 31)

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

all that comprise the event come from long ago from a time when hope moved a citizenry to accomplish the incredible

ldquoToday we realize that peo-ple like us are everywhererdquo the journal would say ldquothat

we share involvement in a common history ndash a history of anguish and at times cruel-ty and hardship but also of courage and warmth and rare nobility a history that gives us some feel of ourselves and will help us to endurerdquo

less terrorists ruth-less and our country godless Which leaves our clueless govern-ment fathomless and all us citizens speech-less

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

One of the regu-

lars at our Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast club olrsquo A Payne Daily brought a sheet of paper to show us why we have so much to complain about in 2017 The pa-per reminded that our phones are wireless our cooking fireless our cars keyless our food fatless our tires tubeless our shirt and blouses sleeveless our youth jobless our leaders shameless our relationships mean-ingless our attitudes careless our babies fatherless too many folks shiftless our feelings heartless our education valueless our children manner-

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

Sidedressing Annual Flowers (Ward Upham) Modern annual

flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be helpful during a rainy summer or if flower

beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Urea (46-0-0) Apply 2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer (Ward Upham)

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

ldquoCOMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COM-MONrdquo Voltaire

The phrase that I

have used for many years and it is so true Why is there so little common sense left today I blame the lack of experience with farm life and the fur-ther away from contact with what it takes to have a basis of reality so goes society

The news this morn-ing says that a twenty five year old woman took secrets from the NSA and passed them to a news leaking group I am sure that she is surprised that she is now looking at ten years in Federal Prison for betraying the country It seems that when an oath is taken and the consequences of breaking that oath donrsquot carry the reality today that it used to

It is reported that the young woman was a Bernie Sanders sup-

is willing to take what is officially classified and leak it There is no honor in betraying the country If the in-formation is so heinous that it should be re-vealed there are ways of doing that within the

governmentWe are looking at

an entire group of people that respect and honor seems to hold no value The division of this coun-try is not between the winner and loser of an election The divi-sion exists in the fact that many people feel as though the United States is inherently evil and those who be-lieve in the US as good and a leader

No amount of lec-turing or debating will work until the oppos-ing sides come to terms with the reality that the US is the bastion of

freedom It is a sad fact that some have been willing to trade free-dom for safety

Until the ideal of individual responsi-bility is once again the mainstay of the coun-try there will be no reconciliation There are extremists on both sides of the coin and until there is belief in the goodness and strength of the United States there will be divisions

Is it desirable to look at your neighbor as an equal or as an enemy The reality of the farm is that things are set into patterns and there is both life and death good and

evil Till with the good order and reap a harvest or ignore the fundamentals and reap a crop of weeds

I am blessed to have spent my life in the country and see the sunrise and understand its beauty To hear the storm and understand its need To reap the bounty of the land and know that it is a gift It is a fundamental erosion of our repub-lics foundation that so many value a hostile attitude towards the country Will the foun-dations of the republic fail Our enemies have been betting on it for generations

porter I donrsquot know if that is true or not but when you are dealing with the justifiable secrets of our nation politics should not enter into it

She is so lucky that she did not do this in the time that her party actually made and enforced the laws of Sedition Enacted under Woodrow Wil-son and enforced by the administrations of FDR She could have gotten much more than the ten years she is looking at

I am not certain what goes through the mind of a person who

Rural MessengerPage 30 June 14 2017

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo it might be entered ldquoWe thank the Almighty (Continued on page 31)

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

all that comprise the event come from long ago from a time when hope moved a citizenry to accomplish the incredible

ldquoToday we realize that peo-ple like us are everywhererdquo the journal would say ldquothat

we share involvement in a common history ndash a history of anguish and at times cruel-ty and hardship but also of courage and warmth and rare nobility a history that gives us some feel of ourselves and will help us to endurerdquo

less terrorists ruth-less and our country godless Which leaves our clueless govern-ment fathomless and all us citizens speech-less

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

Rural MessengerPage 32 June 14 2017

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

One of the regu-

lars at our Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast club olrsquo A Payne Daily brought a sheet of paper to show us why we have so much to complain about in 2017 The pa-per reminded that our phones are wireless our cooking fireless our cars keyless our food fatless our tires tubeless our shirt and blouses sleeveless our youth jobless our leaders shameless our relationships mean-ingless our attitudes careless our babies fatherless too many folks shiftless our feelings heartless our education valueless our children manner-

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

Rural MessengerPage 30 June 14 2017

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo it might be entered ldquoWe thank the Almighty (Continued on page 31)

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

all that comprise the event come from long ago from a time when hope moved a citizenry to accomplish the incredible

ldquoToday we realize that peo-ple like us are everywhererdquo the journal would say ldquothat

we share involvement in a common history ndash a history of anguish and at times cruel-ty and hardship but also of courage and warmth and rare nobility a history that gives us some feel of ourselves and will help us to endurerdquo

less terrorists ruth-less and our country godless Which leaves our clueless govern-ment fathomless and all us citizens speech-less

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

Rural editors should think of their newspa-pers as the diary of a country town a com-munity journal

Years later the record of life in a place such as Lindsborg and the Smoky Valley would read as an accumu-lation of accomplish-ments with the oc-casional hiccup The ascent is gradual and setbacks are inevitable from time to time a learning process along the way to improve-ment ndash two steps up a step back then two up and so forth Gain and refinement are never achieved smoothly Whitley Austin the late legendary editor of The Salina Journal used to say ldquoWe strive to save the world and survive by pratfallrdquo

A good country journal contains the necessary accounts of official business of the crucial machinery of local government and the citizens elected to move its gears keep them lubricated en-sure the need for main-tenance and avoid the cost of neglect careful planning prudent investment efficient and equitable taxation are each a part of the stories building as chapters in that diary

ldquoToday our council wisely noted at its hearing on the budget a difference between being frugal and being cheaprdquo one chapter might begin

Official business aside other pages glow with accounts of a place that accepts the vicissitudes of commu-nity life and enfolds the passions pursuits and destinies of noble men and women their concerns their hopes and surveys the work and aspirations of peo-ple who were important but not necessarily famous ldquoYesterday on the way to the hard-ware storerdquo the diary notes ldquowe had a chat with the men who were on their knees in the street digging clean-ing bricks measuring then replacing them one at a time tucking them in place with sand over summer and in the ghastly heat each day they made their way down the avenue a brick a foot a yard at a time The

Midsummers the past speaks of tomorrow

John Marshall

city administrator says brick streets are the most durable and least expensive to maintain in the long run Some of the bricks here are a hundred years old or more A lot of people have worked hard to keep themrdquo

A community that advances is a commu-nity on solid history one that embraces its heritage Festivals can be a kind of homecom-ing a refresher course reminders of our past Since 1971 Lindsborg has celebrated the revival of Midsummers to confirm generations of Swedish tradition while encouraging new ventures and refining old ones Midsummers has reflected the color and energy of life in a prairie town bringing gaiety to new levels ldquoWe take our cele-brating seriouslyrdquo the diary would say ldquowersquore

devoted to our heri-tage to build on itrdquo

Four months later Hyllningsfest a bi-ennial tribute to the communityrsquos ancestors who settled in the Valley nearly 150 years ago founded a town built a college created a community bound in genius and cour-age offered promise to the next genera-tions and ultimately hope to mankind The determination skill and intellect of these pioneers the architects of this society cannot be overplayed In the beginning they carried little more than a de-

sire to worship freely a love of beauty and a will that they survive

ldquoDear Diaryrdquo an entry would say ldquoA terrible storm tonight we could see it com-ing a great roiling of dark green rumbling up from the south the landscape went silent and uneasy wary Darkness came heav-ing toward us with a spitting rain coughing gusts of chilled air Everyone began to walk sideways un-easiness turning them like a magnet toward the specter of looming violencerdquo

Such entries are less about cruel me-teorology and naturersquos

indifference and more about the enduring nature of people who live in harsh spaces special violent events can incubate an over-whelming backwash of selflessness and charity ldquoThere was a terrible floodrdquo an entry began for August four summers ago ldquoand the City and the commu-nity turned themselves inside out helpingrdquo

From shared de-termination came a community bound to progress to aspire to achieve

(Continued from page 30) and our forefathers that evolution has been kind to us for we continue to embrace the arts pursue the sciences encour-age the interplay of ideas all kinds of ideas We are thank-ful for each other stillrdquo

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

all that comprise the event come from long ago from a time when hope moved a citizenry to accomplish the incredible

ldquoToday we realize that peo-ple like us are everywhererdquo the journal would say ldquothat

we share involvement in a common history ndash a history of anguish and at times cruel-ty and hardship but also of courage and warmth and rare nobility a history that gives us some feel of ourselves and will help us to endurerdquo

less terrorists ruth-less and our country godless Which leaves our clueless govern-ment fathomless and all us citizens speech-less

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

Rural MessengerPage 32 June 14 2017

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

One of the regu-

lars at our Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast club olrsquo A Payne Daily brought a sheet of paper to show us why we have so much to complain about in 2017 The pa-per reminded that our phones are wireless our cooking fireless our cars keyless our food fatless our tires tubeless our shirt and blouses sleeveless our youth jobless our leaders shameless our relationships mean-ingless our attitudes careless our babies fatherless too many folks shiftless our feelings heartless our education valueless our children manner-

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

The Midsummer Festival with ground zero at Riverside Park and a stonersquos throw from the countyrsquos Old Mill Muse-um and Heritage Square can be a glorious reminiscence The colors the artisans the music and games the stories

all that comprise the event come from long ago from a time when hope moved a citizenry to accomplish the incredible

ldquoToday we realize that peo-ple like us are everywhererdquo the journal would say ldquothat

we share involvement in a common history ndash a history of anguish and at times cruel-ty and hardship but also of courage and warmth and rare nobility a history that gives us some feel of ourselves and will help us to endurerdquo

less terrorists ruth-less and our country godless Which leaves our clueless govern-ment fathomless and all us citizens speech-less

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

Rural MessengerPage 32 June 14 2017

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

One of the regu-

lars at our Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast club olrsquo A Payne Daily brought a sheet of paper to show us why we have so much to complain about in 2017 The pa-per reminded that our phones are wireless our cooking fireless our cars keyless our food fatless our tires tubeless our shirt and blouses sleeveless our youth jobless our leaders shameless our relationships mean-ingless our attitudes careless our babies fatherless too many folks shiftless our feelings heartless our education valueless our children manner-

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

less terrorists ruth-less and our country godless Which leaves our clueless govern-ment fathomless and all us citizens speech-less

Then Payne said all the above scares him helliphellip a lot

Irsquod add that our breakfasts at the Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast Club are anything but fat-less

The 80th Flint Hills

Rodeo wuz held last week and true to form my Colorado buddy olrsquo Tex Junkman stopped by for a nice visit It wuz good to see Tex and his wife Hersquos healed up pretty well from the accidents with his horses

The rodeo wuz a big success becuz of the more than 300 contes-tants the great weath-er and all the folks in Chase County who

volunteer their time helping with the rodeo

Texrsquos neighbor from

Lakewood Colo Jay Esse sends me ldquostuffrdquo pretty regularly Itrsquos been building up hellip so the rest of this column are ldquoJerry Zingersrdquo that will diminish my stockpile a bit

Jay sez when it comes to running for exercise hersquod consid-er it if he ever saw a runner who wuz smil-ing But then he had second thoughts and decided to commence a strict running regime yesterday So far hersquos missed only one day

He sez when he wuz a kid he had a pet frog but it croaked

He sez he sings like a jailbird mdashalways behind a few bars and always trying to find the right key

At a rural high

school reunion every-one wuz shocked to see Zeke drive up in a chauffeured $80000 tricked-out pickup escorted by two gor-geous movie starlets Everyone recalled how

Zeke had struggled just to graduate and in the class yearbook he wuz mentioned as least likely to suc-ceed

As Zeke walked around shaking hands and passing out bottles of free liquid refreshments one stunned classmate asked Zeke how he

managed to amass such wealth

ldquoWellrdquo Zeke re-plied ldquoI found a product to promote livestock growth that I could make for $10 dollars and sell for $40 hellip and I sold millions of packages of the stuff worldwide What amazes me still is how fast that three percent adds uprdquo

An old farmer had

listened to his John Deere popping loudly away in his ears for five decades but in retirement he thought he noticed that his wife wuz getting hard of hearing So he decided to test her hearing

First he sneaked up to within 30 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo There wuz no response so he moved to within 20 feet and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo His wife remained silent so he crept up to within 10 feet of her and said ldquoDear can you hear merdquo

ldquoYes dearrdquo she replied ldquoFor the third time yes I hear yourdquo

Rural MessengerPage 32 June 14 2017

A young cowboy wuz shopping for a new pair of boots in a western clothing store when he spied an at-tractive young cowgirl in another part of the store who wuz look-ing down at what wuz obviously her shopping list

The cowboy got an idea and sidled over to where the cowgirl wuz standing and looked over her shoulder at her shopping list When the young lady looked startled at his forwardness he quick-ly quipped ldquoSorry I was just checking to see if I am on your list of things to pick uprdquo

His ploy didnrsquot work but yoursquove got to give him points for originality

I really enjoyed this

story from JaySwen and Ole were

talking about the ldquoold-en timesrdquo when their parents were young Swen says ldquoI won-

der what our parents did for entertainment back in them there old days They didnrsquot have TV the internet or Play Stationrdquo

Ole replies ldquoIrsquove often thought about the same thing so I asked my 18 brothers and sisters and they didnrsquot know eitherrdquo

In conclusion Jay

sez he donrsquot need a ldquoFitzbitrdquo to tell him how many steps hersquos taken in a day His knees tell him how far hersquos walked

He sez a good thing about getting to his age is that hersquos too old to die young

Jay wonders if everyone in the US drove a pink automo-bile would that make us a Pink CarNation And finally he won-ders when hersquoll be old enuf to know better I hope his answer is ldquoneverrdquo Now have a good lsquoun

Irsquove finally got my gardens in pretty decent shape but at a cost Irsquove worked so hard in them that I think Irsquom achy all over but I wonrsquot know until tomorrow for sure

One of the regu-

lars at our Old Boarsrsquo Breakfast club olrsquo A Payne Daily brought a sheet of paper to show us why we have so much to complain about in 2017 The pa-per reminded that our phones are wireless our cooking fireless our cars keyless our food fatless our tires tubeless our shirt and blouses sleeveless our youth jobless our leaders shameless our relationships mean-ingless our attitudes careless our babies fatherless too many folks shiftless our feelings heartless our education valueless our children manner-

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

MANHATTAN Kan mdash The Kansas Department of Agriculture along with the US Department of Agri-culture has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Shawnee County Kansas

On June 6 2017 several EAB galleries were ob-served and a live EAB adult was removed while peeling bark from a tree after KDA was notified by an arbor-ist The suspect tree was identified while the arborist was trimming branches for a home owner in a residential area near Lake Shawnee KDA sent the specimen to a laboratory with USDArsquos Animal and Plant Health Inspection Servicersquos Plant Protection and Quarantine

(USDA-APHIS-PPQ) which confirmed KDArsquos findings on June 7 2017

Emerald ash borer a pest of ash trees native to Asia was first discovered in North America near Detroit Michigan in summer 2002 Since that time the pest has killed millions of ash trees across the US It was first identified in Kansas in 2012 and has been identi-fied in several counties in northeast Kansas in the last five years Trees become infested with EAB when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark which hatch into larvae that bore tunnels into the tree EAB appears to prefer trees under stress but is capable of killing perfectly healthy trees

KDA encourages anyone in northeast Kansas to mon-itor their ash trees for signs of EAB and to be vigilant in not transporting any wood or tree materials from ash trees out of your county including firewood nursery stock green lumber and composted or uncomposted chips If you have ash trees on your property and would like assistance in identi-fying pests or preventing pests please contact the Kansas Forest Service or your local arborist for infor-mation and advice

After confirmation by KDA and USDA-APHIS-PPQ Kansas will expand the EAB quarantine cur-rently in place in Atchison Doniphan Douglas Jeffer-

son Johnson Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties to include Shawnee County If you believe any of your ash trees may have the pest whether or not you are in the quarantined area please notify KDA immedi-ately at (785) 564-6698 or KDAppwcksgov

KDA is committed to serving Kansas farmers ranchers and agribusiness-es and to protecting the statersquos natural resources All Kansans will play an important role in monitoring for EAB

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

While PrairieLand Partners John Deere will be providing most of the Gators a num-ber of satisfied Gator owners will bring their own for the Flint Hills tour

ldquoWe will be leaving promptly at 5 orsquoclock from the cattle pens each eveningrdquo Roth said ldquoAll of the Gators will be there ready and waiting But for those who bring their own Gators it would be best to arrive before-hand to unload and be

ready to head out with the group

ldquoParticipants will be guided through the Flint Hills and end up at an area where volun-teers will have supper ready for enjoyment and social gathering alongside a shaded creek After supper the sun will be setting and participants will enjoy a scenic ldquosun-setrdquo drive through the pasturesrdquo Roth de-tailed

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time They are not as easily thrown off flowering by high nitrogen levels as vegetables are As a matter of fact provid-ing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers

Apply a high ni-trogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out Additional fertil-izations every three to four weeks can be

helpful during a rainy summer or if flower beds are irrigated Common sources of ni-trogen-only fertilizers include nitrate of soda urea and ammonium sulfate Blood meal is an organic fertilizer that contains primarily but not exclusively nitrogen Use only one of the listed fertilizers and apply at the rate given below

Nitrate of soda (16-0-0) Apply 13 pound (75 cup) fertilizer per 100 square feet

Blood Meal (12-15-6) Apply 7 ounces (78 cup) fertilizer per

100 square feetUrea (46-0-0) Apply

2 ounces (14 cup) fer-tilizer per 100 square feet

Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) Apply 4 ounces (frac12 cup) fertiliz-er per 100 square feet

If you cannot find the above materials you can use a lawn fertil-izer that is about 30 percent nitrogen (nitro-gen is the first number in the set of three) and apply it at the rate of 3 ounces (38 cup) per 100 square feet Do not use a fertilizer that contains a weed killer or weed preventer

Rural MessengerPage 38 June 14 2017

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

(Continued on page 39)(Continued from page 38)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)

When I was grow-ing up there were not many real arguments around the house that I remember My dad was the disciplinarian for us kids and we all had rules to follow When we didnt follow the rules Mom always said Just wait until your father gets home That would put fear into us

Then the long wait whether it was 30 min-utes or 3 hours until dad came home from work It gave us plenty of time to think over whatever wrong we had been crazy enough to do I heard that state-ment many times when I was growing up and I knew when he got home I was really into it then

I cant remember ever arguing with Mom about anything either I am sure I did some grumbling and com-plaining to myself but knew that what she said was going to be how it was If I didnt believe her then dad would back it up when he got home because they went by the same rules for us kids

During the years when I was real little and Brownie and I would run off down the street for cookies he never stopped her from switching my legs all the way home but that changed as I got a little older Guess he figured I deserved it then when I ran off

When I was still young and in grade

Arguments at homeself and we could go around her again

One day after I was married my mother told me about him leaving her by herself when she was mad and want-ed to argue with him She said by the time he came back in she had forgotten what she was so mad about Then that made her mad because she couldnt pick up the argument from the point that he had left the house

Arguing with my dad when I was a kid was a one sided affair There was no arguing with him What he said was the law around our house I may have tried to argue once or twice but the consequences were too painful to try it again

If I started to argue and before I could get one sentence out of my mouth I was spanked if I was young enough for him to still spank me The last spanking was when I was in the 8th grade for sticking my tongue out at him

when he told me to do something that I didnt want to do

During high school he just grounded me It seemed like the only number that ever came out of his mouth when he grounded me was 6 weeks I was not about to argue with him or I would have been grounded longer after I expressed my opinion I dont think most kids of my generation the baby boomers had an opinion when it came to their dads rules at least we didnt voice them to him if we did

I usually ended up complaining to Mom about being grounded but that never did me any good She never took our side against dad so the punishment always stood So ar-guments at home were few and far between or non existent between my parents and non existent with me and my parents To contact Sandy therapyk9coxnet

By Sandra Pugh

school my cock-er spaniel Brownie protected me from my mother when I got in trouble with her My dog Brownie wouldnt let Mom spank me he would get between us and keep me safe He wouldnt however chal-lenge my dad I would have much rather had her spank me than my dad Wonder if it was a male thing or he just knew better than to get in my dads way

The arguments between Mom and Dad were always short lived If she began to fuss at him about some thing (which wasnt often) he wouldnt argue with her If she got louder and more insistent I remember him putting on his ball cap and heading out the back door

Dad could always find something to do in the yard or his work-shop for about an hour By that time she had calmed down and then he would come back in to see if she still wanted to argue She was usually over it by the time he came back in the house and he could go to his chair and read the paper

Some people do better if they dont have an audience and lose their reason to argue pretty fast It worked with Mom It was no fun for her to yell at the wall or the empty room It didnt take long for her Irish temper to cool and the starch to go out of her Then she would be back to her carefree

All-Terrain Utility Vehicle Tour of Flint Hills To Benefit Emporia Charities

By Frank J Buchman

Fun in the beautiful green Flint Hills of Kansas will benefit four most worthwhile causes

Itrsquos the ldquoGator Rallyrdquo Thursday through Sat-urday evenings June 15-17 ldquoThe Gator Rally is planned by PrairieLand Partners John Deere Emporia as a special benefit for the Emporia Child Care and Lyon County Special Olympicsrdquo announced Nik Roth manager of the Empo-ria PrairieLand loca-tion

ldquoPrairieland Part-ners Emporia believes in giving back to our community and this is one way to do it Our PrairieLand Partners staff has worked very hard planning this Gator Rally with all proceeds raised from the event going to these most worthwhile charitiesrdquo promised Roth

In clarification the John Deere Gator

is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by John Deere typically featuring a box bed in a variety of configura-tions ranging from two to six wheels They are designed to serve on farms worksites and ranches rather than as a pure off-road vehicle

A number of corpo-rations are sponsoring the fundraiser fun-in-the-hills but individ-ual participants also pay a token fee

ldquoDrivers and rid-ers will be enjoying the beautiful scenery of being out in the Kansas Flint Hills by being lsquooff roadrsquo travel-ing through pastures creek beds and steep prairie hills This ex-perience gives people the opportunity to view the Flint hills in a new way It definitely includes adventures while really enjoying Godrsquos creationrdquo Roth reiterated

The Flint Hills are so vast that people can (Continued on page 39)
