Cover provided along fences and ditches serves as important nesting cover for pheasants, especially that persisting from the previous year. It also provides safe travel lanes. A preferred alternative to burning for weed control is the use of herbicides. They allow the maintenance of perennial grass cover, which, in itself, discourages the establishment of weeds, and saves fences. Lands not being used for crop production will prove more beneficial to the farmer if planted to a permanent cover of grass mixed with alfalfa. This protects the soil from erosion and at the same time provides critical nesting cover for pheasants. Proper grazing of such lands in summer or fall will provide forage for livestock without serious detriment to pheasants, provided grazing is not excessive. Fencing of large areas and rotation grazing may be a desirable practice. Weed control in such areas can be accomplished with herbicides or by spot mowing. Both of these practices can be deferred until after the nesting season but before the weeds concerned have gone to seed. The diversity which trees, shrubs and other vegetation provide to the landscape lends itself to a quality environment. Persons desiring additional information concerning the improvement of wildlife habitat on the farm should contact the Division of Wildlife Resources. They will be happy to help. a affected, either directly or indirectly, by whatever the farmer does with his farm management program. There are ways to use land whereby both landowners and pheasants or other wildlife are the benefactors. Many farmers enjoy pheasants and like to have them around. Some have inadvertently lost them as a result of farming practices which have eliminated cover. Good pheasant numbers can be maintained with a minimum of cover. Some practices which benefit pheasants as well as the farmer include the planting of shelter belts, hedgerows, maintenance of vegetation along fence-row- s and seeding of idle acres. Shelter belts planted around farm buildings provide protection from weather, particularly in areas of irritable prevailing winds. These same areas provide a source of protection from winter weather for pheasants if properly planted. They also make the farm more attractive. Hedgerows serve as a living fence or as a drift fence which traps snow and adds to the soil moisture reserve the following spring. Some consider the latter benefit more than enough compensation for the space required to maintain the hedgerow. Wind damage to crops may also be reduced by this added protection. Pheasants utilize this cover for escape and protection from enemies and also as safe travel lanes. Many farmers burn fencelines as a means of weed control.

Let them rise up and help you, and be your pro- tection'7 (Deuteronomy 32:37, 88). Whst is your god 7 Many young people worship a car. They must nave oversized rear tires and a cutout, and must devote all their time, energy, and money to keeping the car bright and shiny. Sometimes a girl friend or a boy friend becomes a young persons god. Whatever is most necessary to your happiness is your god, and the thing for which you live. Some men make gods of their business, their lusts, or their appetites. Something becomes important to them, and they invest in it. Oh, they do not create the god as an artisan makes an idol of v; od or stone. But they spend so much effort in the pursuit and v ja of that object that they corns to worship it.

It refers to one who runs a foundry in which metal objects are cast The founder polishes, trims, and bejewels the object; then he sets it up as his god. Young friend, a god is supposed to be able to help you when you are in trouble. Do you think that a drag car is going to help you? More than likely it will get you into trouble. And in a moment of crisis, the thing you have made your god will not be able to help you. Actually it will mock you. This same principle applies to older men who make gods of their businesses, their lusts, or their appetites. There is only one God Who is able to help you in the time of trouble (Psalm 46:1).

At that annual event six national winners each receiving S700 scholarships will be announced. Janice Touchstone, of Petalum, Calif., one of the 1973 national winners in the home environment program, remodeled a small, dark, ugly bathroom in a far corner of her home into a second bathroom. She recovered the floor with scraps of linoleum, repapered one wall and refinished the others rs 4-- H 5. 4-- H with paneling. She also replaced a sink with a second hand fixture and found a used counter top to replace a worn one. Total cost for her remodeling job was $43. Peggy Molloy, of Littleton, Colo., gained the reputation as a top resource person in home decorating as a result of her work. Another 1973 national winner, she conducted workshops in the program in the county and district and served as a judge at county and state fairs. Through her work in home environment, Miss Molloy started her own small business making pressed and dried flower pictures. She also remodels rooms using antique furniture as a central focus.
