Chat With

Edward May

My September column ordinarily makesreference to the end of summer, vacationsand the return to school. This column willbe no exception.

The Shenandoah schools started the 30thday of August. However, prior to that thefootball boys reported for practice andworked diligently preparing for what theyhope will be a winning season.

Our family is deeply involved in footballas Eddie enjoys the game and is one of thefew returning lettermen. So starting withthe first game on September 10th, the fam-ily will be on the football circuit. Naturally,we attend all games, whether at home oraway.

In some respects, I was sorry to have thisschool year arrive. Mainly because Eddie,or perhaps I should say Ed Jr., is startinghis final year of high school. I know thisyear will pass all too rapidly and beforewe know we will be attending our son'shigh school graduation. 'Since Eddie is theyoungest of our three children, in some re-spects we will be sorry to see him finishhigh school. However, looking at it philo-sophically, such is life and "time marcheson." We can't reverse the clock, so Eleanorand I will enjoy our son's final year, andwe will enjoy his participation in severalschool activities.

We had a mighty fine summer. We vaca-tioned in northern Wisconsin during whichtime we were only about 60 miles fromdaughter, Karen and her husband and thosetwo grandchildren, Bill and Amy. Later,after returning home the rest of the familyvisited Shenandoah. Annette and her hus-band, David live in Seattle, Washington,and their nine -day -visit passed all tooquickly.

Still on the subject of family, Eleanor andI have joined the bicycle parade that seemsto be sweeping the country. I have readseveral articles which indicates familiesfrom coast to coast are cycling for the ex-ercise. We considered buying a tandem butdecided against it. We bought Eleanor anew bike while I am using one we boughtEddie some six or seven years ago. Wecycle nearly every night, and not only en-joy the exercise but also enjoy visits withmany friends who seem to be outdoors earlyin the evening when we are riding. Thephotograph shows a picture of the two ofus preparatory to "riding off."

We had more visitors than usual in Shen-andoah during the summer. The Centennialactivities the latter part of June were re-sponsible for part of this. The pageant de-picting the 'history of the 'town was a suc-cess, as was the tremendous Centennialparade, plus the outstanding performanceof the famous Blackwood Brothers GospelQuartet. The Blackwoods are extremelywell-known in the KMA area as the Black -woods were regular performers on KMA afew years ago.

Later, specifically on Sunday, July 18th,over 23,000 people attended "Open House"at 'the Earl May Test Gardens. The testgardens are still extremely colorful andwill remain so until we have a killing frost

which normally takes placearound the middle of Octo-ber. Each day brings manyvisitors to view the test gar-dens and you are always wel-come.

So Shenandoah continuesto be a place of interest. Ihope you will visit us some-time in the near future.Radio S'tati'on KMA con-tinues to play a prominentpart in the area. You arecordially invited to visitKMA. We would like tomeet you. I believe you willenjoy seeing the fine facili-ties of KMA, together withviewing the many pictureson the walls of former staffmembers and events that area part of KMA's heritage.

FRANK COMMENTSAnother Open House at the Earl May

Trial Grounds at the south edge of Shen-andoah has come and gone. The specificdate this year was the 3rd Sunday in July,which was July 18th. In no way possiblecould we have had better weather. It waspartly cloudy all day with a light breezeout of the northwest and temperatures inthe mid -80's. The official opening time was9:00 a.m. as usual, but the cars had startedpouring in by 7:00. By 10:00, we were quitesure that the attendance would set a newall-time record, and by noon we had passedthe old record of 18,500 and practically allparking places were filled.

Fortunately a lot of the early comersstarted pulling out for home shortly afternoon, so that the late -comers had very littletrouble in finding a parking place. The fourshuttle buses were kept very busy all daylong shuttling visitors back and forth be-tween the trial grounds and the gardencenter and the radio station downtownwhere other hundreds of cars had foundparking space around the garden center.

As usual, there was a lot of interest inthe 60 sample flower beds located justacross the drive from the observationtower. Visitors were invited to look thosebeds over and vote for the one they thoughtwas the prettiest. As an inducement, all ofthose who had voted for the bed which re-ceived the most votes, will be given enoughseed next spring to make a bed just like itin their own yard. The competition 'vasvery keen, and I think that every one ofthe 60 beds received at least a few votes.The final tabulation showed that bed No.53 had received the most votes. Now lookagain at the picture on this page. Bed No.53 is the first one of those three big round

4

beds on the left hand side of the picture.The border around the outside edge con-sists of Plum Purple Petunias and the cen-ter is solidly planted to Diamond JubileeMarigolds, which is very similar to FirstLady Marigold, which pulled so many voteslast year. The bed coming in second wasbed No. 1 which you can just barely see inthe lower right hand corner of the picture.It had burning bush across the back withOrange Jubilee Marigolds in front of itwith a border of Verbenas at the front.The third place bed was No. 5 which waslocated in the extreme southeast corner ofthe plot and which also had burning bushfor the background with First Lady Mari-golds in the center, with Happiness Pe-tunias across the front. The fourth placebed was No. 22, which was over near thecenter of the plot and which was a rathersmall diamond shaped bed with Blue BlazerAgeratum for a border with the new an-nual Silver Puff Hollyhocks filling in all thecenter.

The official Open House was a monthago, but honestly I think the trial groundsare just as attractive right now a-. theywere then, in spite of the fact that in thatmonth we have received only 33/100 ofrain, and I am very sure that you will findit just as attractive a month from now asit is right now. So, if you have not yetvisited Shenandoah and the Earl May TrialGrounds, feel perfectly free to come any-time you like and take as much time asyou like to really look things over. Youwill find everything very plainly marked,and even on Saturdays and Sundays youwill find folks on hand to answer your ques-tions or tell you where certain things arelocated. Write down the names of thethings you like best and the chances arevery good that you will find them listed innext spring's seed and nursery catalog.

You regular radio listeners noticed thatI was off the air for a coupleof weeks, and I want to takethis opportunity to thank allof the people who sent getwell cards and letters. I readevery one of them and I real-ly appreciate them. Theyhelped a lot. I started tak-ing my radio time again onAugust 10th, and my doctorsays that my last electro-cardiogram shows that myheart is back practically tonormal, or at least as normalas it will ever be again. Theunderstanding is that I willhave to slow down a littleand take it just a little biteasier. That won't be toohard to do though becauseas I get older I find I amalso getting lazier. How areall you folks?

The KMA Guide

RFD 960By CLIFF ADAMS

Fairs and more fairs! Yes, the KMAfarm department has been real busy cover-ing fairs and livestock shows, and as Iwrite, we have more fairs to cover. Ouremphasis has been on county fairs duringthe past month, and now it is the statefairs' turn. We hope to be able to reportthe next time that we will have givencoverage to the Nebraska, Iowa and Mis-souri state fairs.

I had a real nice visit with Ken Fulk,the executive secretary of the Iowa StateFair while he was at the MontgomeryCounty Fair in Red Oak. Ken was judginglivestock when I met him, and I think hiscomments about fairs and 4 -Hers were mostappropriate. He stated that fairs are forpeople and that the real purpose of fairs isto promote self-improvement. By improv-ing our livestock, grains and other productsof the farm we hope to improve our way oflife. Certainly the motto of the 4 -Hers fitsin well with that objective, "To make thebest better."

There are some interesting stories in con-nection with some of these young people.One of them concerns the young girl whotook over her late brother's sheep projectwhich he entrusted to her shortly before hedied from cancer. She went on to capturethe grand championship in two divisions.

KMA Farm Director Cliff Adams talks toWilson Moon, Iowa State Conservationist,about Pony Creek.

September, 1971

Another is about the young man who wona grand championship at a fair and man-aged to operate over 600 acres for hisfather who had suffered a heart attack.His mother was so proud and well shemight be I should add. This young mandid his own selection of the calf that wenton to win the top honors. Another youngman who won top honors with his calf hasa father who is suffering from multiplesclerosis. The father watched his son froma wheel chair, as he won the honor.

Our young people in 4-H and FFA shouldbe given much credit. They are not thedelinquents you read about who captureso much of the attention in some of ourbig cities. Truly, they are the good demon-strators who are interested in improvingtheir lot and the communities in which theylive, not in tearing them down.

Crop reports have given a picture ofsuper -abundance in the nation. In spite ofthe threats of southern corn leaf blight,drought and insects, predictions now showa record production of corn, wheat, sor-ghum grain and soybeans. While some ofthe crop is not yet in the bins, so far it in-dicates a bumper year. There is concernthat this abundance unfortunately meanslower prices not only for grain but thelivestock to which much of it is fed.Grain production in western Europe hasalso increased and that could mean furthertrouble for U. S. farm exports. It is almostcertain that the acreage diverted from pro-duction under the government's farm pro-gram will be increased next year.

I had the opportunity to visit the dedi-cation of the Pony Creek Watershed de-velopment at Glenwood, Iowa, recently.This project which took 10 years to com-plete is a tribute to the Soil ConservationService of Iowa. An 83 -acre lake and anadjoining park are some of the benefitsthat result. Proof that man can improvehis environment and leave something bene-ficial to future generations. The Soil andWater Conservation Districts were in theforefront of saving our environment longbefore it became popular to talk about it.

The Sidney Rodeo is over for anotheryear. Our associate farm director, JackMihall has been covering that event. Jackshould know all the fine points of livestockand man's attempt to subdue them afterthat week. The life of the almost legendarycowboy lives on at a rodeo which is onepart of the American Scene.

Billie OakleyTakes VacationHello There!

It's up, up and away for me this month!I will drive, with friends from Grand Island,Nebraska, as far as Las Vegas; spend a dayor two . . . then fly on to Eugene, Oregon,to visit my family. Both parents are a bitunder the weather, so we will have a quietvisit this time. After that, I shall againmeet my friends in Nevada and drive homewith them, traveling the southern route. Ihave never spent any time in southern NewMexico . . . nor have I ever visited southernColorado. Hopefully, some of 'the wrinkleswill disappear from my face, and even mypersonality, from a two-week trip awayfrom the office and work. Everyone needsa vacation of some kind or other, and Ihope you have managed one into yourschedule.

Our recipe this month is a real winner.It's the kind of dessert salad you can makeahead of 'time and serve with pride. Enjoy!

We have State Fairs going on across thecountry, and I do hope you manage to at-tend one of them. While in Marshalltown,Iowa, I visited their County Fair and gotmyself inspired for the big ones. The 4-Hgroups really make and keep 'the fair inbusiness. Hopefully, they are growingstronger and greater throughout the mid-lands, and that is one of 'the bright hopesof our future. Let's give them all the sup-port needed for their growth.

How's your canning and freezing comingalong? I get so many letters from listenerswho say they are doing more than ever thisyear. It wasn't a good year for tomatoesin our area, but some report bumper crops.Let me hear a report from you. We're al-ways interested in knowing "what's newwith you!" Till next time . . . keep a smile.

Stand ByFor News

With this issue of The Guide, we wantyou to meet one of America's most talkedabout and listened to newsman and com-mentator. His familiar "Hello Americans,This is Paul Harvey . . . Stand by fornews . . ." means in-depth, interesting re-porting to you the listener.

Paul Harvey comes to you on KMA everyweekday morning at 7:35 . . . and everyafternoon at 1:15. KMA picks up PaulHarvey over the lines of the ABC Enter-tainment network. Most of the time PaulHarvey does his broadcast from Chicago,Ill. Many times he packs what he calls hisportable microphone into his private air-plane and does his show from many remoteparts of the United States. I think the suc-cess of Paul Harvey has been his ability toseek and cultivate the human intereststories on the air. It has been said that ifanother newsman would read the samestories that Paul Harvey does on the air itjust wouldn't sound the same. He has away of making the funny, funny, and theserious, very serious. The morning PaulHarvey show is five minutes long . . . andthe afternoon show lasts fifteen minutes.In the latter broadcast, Paul has a littlemore time for comment. Add a little gustoto your day . . . Tune in Paul Harveynews . . . We think you'll like it.

"FEEDBACK"QUOTES WE LIKE

We have always been intrigued by News-paper Headline writers. The Headlinewriter, of course, must boil a full-blownnews item into an eye-catching one or twolines, usually three to six words. Often, thewriter will be carried away to the heightof humor . . . catching editors looking theother way.

ITEM: An Associated Press story writ-ten in Paris several years ago quoted U. S.Spokesman Harold Kaplan as saying "Wemay someday have tea with the other side"in the Vietnam Peace talks in Paris. TheHeadline?

WE SEE TEA KEY TO HO CHI, VC!ITEM: United Press International's

Washington Bureau filed a story recentlyin reference to rumors that Vice PresidentSpiro Agnew would be dumped in favor ofTreasury Secretary John Connally as Presi-dent Nixon's running mate in 1972. TheHeadline?

ONLY THREE PRESIDENTS HAVESWITCHED MATES!

That one should be comforting to Mrs.Nixon. -0-

The marvels of our technological agecontinue . . . ably reported by newsmen.

WITNESS: COW BURP POWERCOULD HEAT HOUSE!

Not only will a cow give you milk, she'sgot the power to boil it! And if she hasnine friends, they could heat your housewater system too. Scientists have notedthat ten average cows belch enough meth-ane gas each day to keep a stove, waterheater, and furnace burning in a smallhouse.

Now that's one way to cut your utilitybill! -0-

One of the great pleasures of workingNews is research. Think of the problems( ?) encountered by the reporter assignedto study the monokini fad in St. Tropez,France. The legman (no pun intended) dis-covered that the five St. Tropez Gendarmeswere so busy with routine enforcement thatthere was no manpower to search the snackbars and discotheques for braless bodies.The followup revealed (again no pun) thatthe no top style on the Riviera astonishednewcomers the day they arrived, but byevening, they were bored . . . and the nextday . . . they were trying the new stylethemselves. -O-A Roanoke, Virginia, Newsroom decided toair thirty minutes of "Good News." It tooktwo newsmen twelve hours to put the pro-gram together.

PONY CREEK AREA DEDICATED

Hidden away in the bluffs about threeand one-half miles from Glenwood, Ia., isthe recently completed Pony Creek Water-shed and Park which will benefit arearesidents in many ways.

Constructed with federal funds, 22 struc-tures were built to control problems offlooding and sedimentation in the 30 -square -mile area. The project costing$1,250,000 was dedicated at special cere-monies in August at which time Congress-

man William Scherle and Iowa GovernorRobert Ray were among the speakers.

In addition to providing controls, thewatershed also boasts an 83 -acre lake whichcan presently be used for boating and fish-ing. Many Indian artifacts were discoveredduring the construction which may havehelped lead to the nomination of PonyCreek Park by the Department of the In-terior to the national registry of historicalsites.
