A Chat With

Edward May

I hope you don't mind if I talk about myfamily. All of us are proud of our families,and I would like to bring you up to dateon the Ed May family.

A picture of the newest member of thefamily appears on the front cover of thisissue. She is seven -month -old Amy, ourfirst grandchild. Amy spent two weeks withgrandpa and grandma during August.Needless to say, we had a wonderful timewith her, and it certainly took some re-adjusting at our house when we took Amyhome to her father and mother, Jim andKaren Sislo, who live at Rhinelander, Wis-consin. Jim completed his Service commit-ment the first of August and is now in theprocess of establishing his dental practicein northern Wisconsin.

Another member of the May family,Eddie, is pictured on this page, and perhapsI should add the golfing memberfamily. We were pleased and very proudwhen Eddie won the Shenandoah JuniorGolf Championship. He has worked hardon his golf game and felt quite rewardedwhen he took championship honors. He isshown in the picture with his golfing friendand Junior Tournament runner-up, RustyGiese. (I might add I play golf myself, butEddie beats me regularly. In fact, I don'tgive him much of a match now unless hehappens to have a bad day.However, I still enjoy play-ing with him, and I have cer-tainly enjoyed the rapportwe have been able to developon the golf course. I fre-quently smile when I recallthat Eddie beat me for thefirst time three years ago,and by some strange coinci-dence, it happened to be onFather's Day.)

Now that school has start-ed Eddie spends most of hisfree time practicing football.He is 5 ft. 8 in. tall andweighs about 150 lbs.

Since school has been men-tioned, I would like to bringyou up to date on the othermember of the May family,namely, Annette Sanders.Annette and her husband,David, are attending Univer-

September, 1969

sity this fall in Seattle, Washington. Thiswill be Annette's final year and she isanxious to get it behind her. She says itseems to her she has been in school for along time, but when she finishes she willhave a wonderful education, something noone can take away from her.

Next month we will have a picture show-ing four generations, namely, my mother,myself, Karen and Amy. We are proud ofthis four -generation picture as many fam-ilies are not fortunate enough to have fourgenerations living.

I hope you had a nice summer. Crops inthe immediate KMA area benefited greatlyfrom the generous summer rains, and yieldsshow a tremendous improvement over ayear ago. For any of you that might havebeen hit by hail, flood, army worms, or anyother adversity, I hope next year will treatyou much better. I believeple in this part of the country that mighthave been hit by adversity still have enoughof the true pioneer spirit to withstand thesetbacks and continue to look to the future.

Another crop year is about completed,and, at the same time Radio Station KMAhas celebrated another birthday. Since 1925KMA has been filling the air waves, andwe consider all of you members of theKMA family.

FRANK COMMENTS

By Frank Field

The picture this month shows me stand-ing in behind a row of a very showy annualplant which we list in the catalog with theother flower seeds as Joseph's Coat, butwhose botanical name is "Amaranthus Tri-color." Actually, it is very closely relatedto a common weed called "Pigweed." ThePigweed is very branched and grows al-most in bush form, while the Joseph's Coathas practically no side branches and growsa single stem 3 or 4 feet tall, and then theupper leaves instead of being a plain greencome out in shades of yellow, pink and red.This is where it gets its name of "Joseph'sCoat," because it certainly does come inmany colors. If you were among the morethan sixteen thousand people who visitedthe Trial Grounds on Open House Day inJuly, you undoubtedly saw this row ofAmaranthus Tricolor and might even havetaken a color picture of it, as thousands ofpeople did. It was located toward the westend of the Trial Grounds on the north sideof the drive, just east of the bean trials.

It is an annual like Marigolds and Zin-nias and dies out root and branch with thefirst frost. The seed for this row wasplanted about the middle of May and sinceit likes hot weather it didn't make muchof a showing until after that long periodof cold, wet, rainy weather was over. Infact it was just showing good color onOpen House Day, July 20th. This picture,by the way, was taken on August 10th.No, it cannot be grown as a house plantfor several reasons. One is that it has tohave full sun in order to develop the bril-liant colors and two, it gets too big andgrows too tall.

If you have visited the Trial Groundsthis summer, you have noticed here andthere in various locations small signs say-ing, new for 1970, indicating some floweror vegetable which will be listed in the cata-log next spring for the first time. Thereare six or eight new vegetables for next

year and at least a dozen new flowers.Some of them are just improvements onolder varieties and some of them are en-tirely new and different. Among the newflowers is a new Morning Glory on theorder of Heavenly Blue, but darker incolor and coming into bloom at least amonth earlier. The main draw back withHeavenly Blue is that it doesn't make anyshowing until the first of September andthis one began blooming the last of July.

Most of the new flowers are ones whichwon the coveted All -America. Award andnaturally will be featured by all leadingSeed Houses, but a few of them are ourown introductions which no one but theEarl May Seed and Nursery Company willhave. These are varieties which have cometo light in the Trial Grounds and haveusually been tried out for two or three suc-cessive years in order to make sure theyare well adapted to our midwest climate.

Remember last spring I told you that Ihad lost my old garden spot to progress.Well, there is a big apartment house onthat location now, which has eleven apart-ments in it. These apartments will beready for occupancy late in September ifeverything continues to go along as well asit has been. Yes, we did miss the gardenthis summer and several farmer friendsoffered to share garden space with us, butwe decided that it was time we began toslow down a little since there wasn't sucha need for so much canned stuff with allthe children married and gone into homesof their own.

By the time you are reading this, Jennyand I will have gotten back from a week'svacation down in the Ozarks on Table RockLake. We didn't take our usual weekend inJuly so in August we took a full week in-stead. Will tell you all about it in theOctober Guide. How was your summer?

By WARREN NIELSON

This has been a busy Summer! Activitystarted when I attended a regional FarmBroadcasters' meeting in Grand Forks,North Dakota, and then tried for a littleCanadian fishing. The Gowings next wentnorth for a week's fishing in the Lake ofthe Woods area. Then Jack and Paulinewent to Hawaii for the Summer meeting ofthe Farm Broadcasters and the Nielsonsspent a wonderful two weeks in the BlackHills, Yellowstone and the ColoradoRockies. As I write this column, the Gow-ings have just returned from the PacificNorthwest. However, now that school hasstarted again, we'll all keep our noses alot closer to the grindstone.

Fair time is always an enjoyable timefor me, and I get just as much of a kickout of watching our young people at Coun-ty Fairs as I do at the big State Events.

This year at the Iowa State Fairacross some unique dairy cat-tle. They are about the sizeof the Holstein and are allblack except for a whitebelt. They are called DutchBelted Cattle and have aglamorous history that goesback to the Roman andDutch Empires. In those daysonly the nobility owned cat-tle and only perfectly mark-ed animals were allowed tolive. When the empire fell,the peasants were allowed tokeep the off-color animalswhich developed into ourmodern Holstein breed!

Dutch Belted cattle havestrong genetic abilities, gooddispositions and a higherbutterfat content than do theHolsteins. Although there arefew registered animals left Iunderstand that there is aDutch Belted Associationwith headquarters in Heifers,Florida.

Donald Maasden of Algo-na, Iowa, has a herd of sixand had three on display atthe Iowa State Fair. Maas -

I ran

den says they were first imported into thiscountry in 1838 and were such a raritythat P. T. Barnum imported many for hisshows.

Dutch Belted cattle represent the oldestbreed known to man, says Maasden, butonly a handful remain. He thinks if therewere an open class for them he is sure thatthey would create enough interest that thebreed would come back rapidly.

The pictures of the cattle created quitea stir around the office. No one had everseen any before . . . until just before presstime . . . when KMA Salesman KeithRamsey stopped to look at them and saidthat when he used to travel in Florida heremembered that one of the big dairies hadan entire herd of Dutch Belted Cattle.Keith says he remembers it because seeingan entire herd of this kind of cattle was astriking sight!

Tne ancient breed of Dutch Belted Cattle are all blackwith wide white belts. However, any width belt is allowedas long as it is uniform. Some cattle also show a littlewhite on their feet and although this doesn't disqualifythem, it is better if they are all black except for the whitebelt.

VACATIONAT HOME

Americans are noted for vacations awayfrom home. However, a few of the KMApersonnel decided just to rest and relax athome and in the area. The KMA Guidecameraman was busy snapping pictures ofthose who stayed in KMA land to vacation.

Shown above is the car that Mike Goodincherishes. While on vacation, Mike broughtthe car to Shenandoah. It had been storedfor two years in his parents' garage. Thecar is a 1953 Corvette, of which only 300were made. Mike bought the car in 1963in Minneapolis, and spent the first year re-building it. Although the car would beworth more pure stock, Mike has the carfor his enjoyment, and says he will neverpart with it. (For those who understandsuch lingo, the motor is a 1960 Chevy, 261,six cylinder, with aluminum pistons, Iskyfull race cam, McGurck racking head, thathas been planed, portand relieved, andpolished. Transmission is a '55 Chev over-drive, 3 one -barrel carburetors.) The caris far from stock, but Mike enjoys it thatway. Some years back he set a record inhis class at the drag races.

To be able to do what he pleased; golfas the desire overcame him, relax at hisdesk in the office and just plain enjoy rest-ing, is what Regional Sales Manager AndyAndersen did for his two-week vacation.

Two old buddies were re-united at the KMA studiosduring their vacations thissummer. Merl Douglas whohas worked as morning an-nouncer for KMA for moreyears than he likes to admitis pictured visiting withEddie Corner, who also work-ed at KMA when live talentwas prominent. Eddie is nowlocated in Kansas City. Merland Eddie enjoyed lookingat the picture gallery on theKMA studio walls and remi-niscing about the good oldGlenn Miller and Dorseytunes, as well as the countrymusic they played in the 40's.

As you can plainly see in the picture, Andyis relaxing in the KMA sales office. Editor'snote: This isn't the usual pose or attire forAndy at the office. We know you have seenmany pictures in the Guide of Andy inregular business attire the other 50 weeksout of the year.

Managerial Secretary Evalyn Saner is agirl of many talents. Evalyn was quite busyduring her vacation this summer-paintingher house. As Evalyn states "four piecesof the house are painted, two to go." Thisdoesn't mean she has a six -sided house,however. Evalyn got away from her paint-ing once in a while for a jaunt for a dayor so with friends during her holiday.

Bob Tarbell JoinsNews Staff at KMA

KMA is happy to say "Welcome Aboard"to BOB TARBELL. Bob joined the KMANews staff on August 4th and has assumedthe responsibility of gathering, writing, andairing several newscasts daily. A native ofNorwich, New York, Bob is 28 years old.Following a four-year hitch with the AirForce, he returned to school at the Univer-sity of Kansas, where he received a Bache-lor of Science in Journalism last June.

Bob says he likes the weather of the mid -west better than the cold and snow of up-state New York. (You may be surprised,Bob!)

His hobbies include astronomy, writing,and photography. Additionally, he enjoyswhat he calls the "strenuous" sports, likewatching television, listening to the radio,and reading. (But not necessarily in thatorder, we hope.)

News Director Larry Miller shows Bob Besides writing and reading news, BobTarbell the operational procedures in says he enjoys meeting people and learningKMA's News Department. about interesting situations.

WeightWinner"To the loser goes the spoils."Or in this case we shouldstate "From the loser goesthe money." Andy Andersen,KMA regional sales managerand Earle Crowley, head ac-countant of KMA, had afriendly wager recently con-cerning who could lose themust weight during a 25 dayperiod. As the picture shows,Earle can't believe the scaleswhen he found that Andyhad lost two pounds morethan he had, so he had toforfeit the $5.00.

TODAY'S WOMANBy JO FREED

Hello again! A month or so ago I men-tioned that I would print a picture of ourhome and huge yard. With the beautifulweather we have had this summer, it hashad to be mowed at least once if not twicea week. This job is not mine, however, be-cause our two daughters enjoy mowing onour riding lawn -mower.

At the far right you will notice the tworows of tall pine trees. There are 20 treesin all. Lightning struck two of them andthey had to be cut down. However, no onecan remember when they were planted sowe don't know their age. We often havetalked to different settlers in this area andstill are wondering why they were plantedin two perfect rows and to the east of thehouse (where they would offer no weatherprotection), but, we love them. Many birds,squirrels, owls and rabbits use them for ahome. As I have mentioned on my "Today'sWoman" program, someday I will sit underthem and make a tape recording . . . it'sa lovely sound in the mornings.

Fanuly gathering includes: (left to right) Lori Jo; LynnDenise; Gilbert Freed and Wilbur Freed.

All of our barns and buildings are tothe left of this picture and mostly out ofsight. Yes, we, too, have a dying elm treewhich will have to be cut down. Behind thetwo long rows of pine trees to the northare about 10 apple trees. This used to bea really large orchard with cherry, plum,pear and more apple trees. However, theweather has broken them down or theyhave died, so we had to take them out.

As you look across the fields from myhome, you can see for about six miles. Thepanorama includes different colored fields,red and white buildings, the NymanLutheran Church steeple to the north, andthe Bethesda Lutheran Church to the east.When the foliage is off the trees, you canjust get a peek at the Fremont CovenantChurch steeple to the south. To the southof our house is a dirt road where we findlots of pheasants, and one of the telephonepoles is the roosting place for a huge hawkwho flies whenever we drive down the road.Also, on that road are many beautiful Iowawild roses and other wild flowers.

The second picture on this page wastaken at the birthday party for my father-in-law. He likes to go to the local barbershop and visit each day. So on his birth-day, I had the bakery deliver a cake to thebarber shop, and I took paper plates, forksand a knife so they could all celebrate withhim. The cake that served 25 to 30 peopledisappeared within a short while. He liveda little over 30 years on this farm, and wehave lived here for about 17, and it stillisn't owned by anyone in our family.

I have enjoyed meeting somany wonderful people in theKMA area this past month.I certainly wish there wasmore time, so that I couldvisit each fair, celebrationand meeting.

Looking to the future; besure and make arrangementsto attend the Craft Carnivalwhich will be held at theNew Armory on FergusonRoad in Shenandoah thisyear on October 14th.

NORM'SFORUM

By

Norman WilliamsStation Manager

One of the most hard working depart-ments at KMA is the Sports Department.Manned by Bruce Pilcher, Sports Director,and Mike Goodin, the department is re-sponsible for the scheduling, the program-ming, the description, and the color for allplay-by-play local games. Basically, thismeans that the department decides whatgame to broadcast, schedules it, arrangeswith the school to allow KMA to broad-cast, gets the necessary information forbroadcasting, and arranges interviews.

During the football season, the big topicof discussion for the Sports Department isthe game of the week. This is an areagame featuring two of the top high schoolteams. In the past, KMA has always triedto cover the best high school game in ourarea. Promotion of this broadcast is takencare of by the Sports Department. Thisusually involves an interview with thecoach for the daily sports programs and apromotion for the announcers to program.

During the basketball season, Mike andBruce have a very hectic schedule. Earlyin the season usually only one game isbroadcast per week, but that changes afterDecember. From that time on, usually twogames per week are broadcast. Then comestournament time which means practicallyevery night for the department, since KMAalways broadcasts the districts, sub -statesand the state tourraja ment.

After basketball, the Sports Departmentturns to track and baseball. During thetrack season, the main responsibility is re-porting. Since track is an individual sport,very little play-by-play can be done, butteams' scores for the various meets are al -

ways given. In addition to covering themeets in person, a great deal of the SportsDepartment's time is taken up with phoneinterviews. It's easier to interview thevarious personalities on the phone, than itis at the site because they have a lot toconcentrate on when at the event.

During baseball, play-by-play is the mainfeature. This involves getting the battingaverages, the lineups, keeping track of theteams, watching the various schedules forthe key games for each conference, andchoosing the games for broadcast. Thisyear KMA couldn't broadcast as manygames as we would have liked because ofthe K. C. Royals' schedule.

The reporting of the daily sports newsis the primary task of the Sports Depart-ment. Usually this is taken care of byBruce Pilcher. When he is out of town oron vacation, Mike covers the sportcasts.We usually cover local and regional sportsnews on the programs and only the signifi-cant national stories. Accumulating thepertinent material for the program requiresa great deal of research, and often times,a great deal of editing, since all storiescannot be covered.

These are the highlights of the work thatthe Sports Department does. As you cansee they have plenty to keep them busy.
