—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 26, 1965 4 From Where We Stand,.. County Farm Youth and Agribusiness It's a cinch that with the number o£ faims nationally on the decrease every farm boy who wants to farm may not be able to do so. Many will, but what about the others? Although they can’t all stay on the farm most of them can stay close to agriculture if they wish. How? In a field bxoadly known as agribusiness For quite a few years the cry of allied industry has been that they can’t get enough young people with agricul tural backgrounds to fill the jobs. Farmers today buy a tremendous amount and variety of “things" to use in their farming operations. Opportuni ties are there for the farm-raised youth if he or she. will examine the facts. Several state umveisities are exa mining these lacts right now Penn State is supei vising a study through the voluntary cooperation of the county vo cational agriculture tehchers About 17 counties have reportedly completed their surveys of agricultural industry in their areas Some one-half dozen more are in the process Lancaster County teachers will be visiting industries in the county this summer which produce, service, or sell agricultural products. The objectives of this program'are to: I—determine the number of em ployees currently working in these oc cupations; 2—estimate the number needed in the future; 3—estimate the quality and quanti ty of entry .opportunities into the vari ous fields; 4—determine the training needed* for competency. The University of Delaware is well .along _on the same sort of study. Their preliminary findings showed that the vo-ag departments would have to grad uate approximately 550 students each year to keep up with that state’s de mands -for agriculturally trained em ployees. They are presently graduating about 125. Now, many of these jobs re quire skills that go beyond high school levels, but the demand seems to be there on all levels. On the same subject, Russell E. Larson, Dean of the College of Agricul ture at Penn State, told delegates to the 4-H Congress that one of the brightest fields is in agriculture-related research. He said that agriculture needs plant and animal scientists, farm management specialists, agricultural engineers and • Jugging ("Continued from Page 1) about the time involved’ The Spiuce Villa stoie is open foi business fiom 9 am un til 9pm foi six days a week, and fiom 5 to 8 pm on Sun days Fiom start to finish the piocess of conveitmg the taw milk to a pasteuuzed, homog enized product in a gallon jug takes about eight houis a day The plant is located immediately in back of the stoie, sepaiated by a dem and a large window So the two jobs processing milk and waiting on customeis can be combined veiy neatly.

So even though all the farm-raised kids may not be able to find their niche on the farm, there are exciting opportunities awaiting them m the agri culture-related areas. ★ ★ ★ ★ Slow Moving Vehicles Should Be Marked A conspicuous emblem attached to slower moving farm machinery will warn motorists of the danger of colli sion. Fluorescent yellow-orange in the center and reflective dark red on the outside, the triangular Slow Moving Ve hicle emblem can be seen and identified by higher speed motorists at 500 feet or more under practically all driving conditions. Vehicles traveling at 20 miles an hour are about 100 times as likely to be involved in collisions as vehicles travel ing at the speed limit, according to the U S Department of Agriculture safety specialists. Two out of three of these accidents are rear-end collisions. Often the oncoming motorists simply do not realize until too late how slowly the vehicle ahead is moving. To help reduce the incidence of this type of traffic accident, the National Safety Council, the American Society of Agricultural Engineers and the Auto motive Safety Foundation are spon soring the use of the SMV emblem. This distinctive sign was developed by Ohio State University research and extension specialists. The emblem Should be centered on the back of the machine, approximately three to five feet above the ground. This location is within the normal range of headlight beams and is -readily noticed during the daytime. The sign is inex pensive, easily mounted and does-not in terfere with the operation of the ma chine. An additional safety device, the sign is not intended as a replacement' for the usual flags, reflectors and red warning equipment. - It'should be used on farm machinery such as tractors and wagons, and on highway maintenance and construction equipment. National Farm Safety Week, July 25-31, will mark the beginning of a nationwide educational program to en courage the use of the emblem and to acquaint the motorists with its mean ing. hour loutine goes The milk to about 40 degiees Then it comes m fiom the bain in goes into the holding tanc, cans and totals about 115 gal- which has its own refngeiu lors pei day The fiist step tion unit, and is further is to sanitize the equipment cooled to about 36 degiees This piocess passes water at From the tank it may be 180 degrees from the pas- jugged off as needed Usual teuuzer thiough all the othoi ly he draws off 30-40 gallons equipment and ends up at the foi immediate needs, and bulk holding tank at a mini- stores the balance in the tank mum figure stipulated by law But this is still not the end of 160 degiees Next the wa- of the opeiation When the tei is pumped fiom the sys- tank is empty, and before tem and the milk is dumped the next day’s production can into the pasteuuzer Theie it be processed, the entire sys is exposed to temperatures tem and all the equipment of 143 degiees for 30 min- must be thoroughly washed, utes All of these times and In add’tion to milk, Bru temperatuies foi each pro (Continued on Pa K e 16) cess are electucally recorded * u I «. • on a chart and the charts are ® Area rtOlsrCins subject to examination by the (Continued fiom Page 1) milk inspector for the Pa six-year-old. had 19,470 lbs To Waiter Lawns Dept of Health °f Next the milk goes through days - summer, many lawns may the homogenizei all milk 3-Jane Segis Rag Apple Pab- need wateiing to keep them sold on the’ faim is homog- s * |} ad 19690 °f milk and 681 gieen We recommend water emzed In this step, time and of fat ,l n 311 daJ,S- she is alO in g on iy when the grass needs propei conditions aie again ye ?r, r , TT T , it This is usually when the impoitant if a satisfactory fo £ E * SJ 0 blades of green show signs of p.oduct is to be pi educed * f milk 832 of fat in 298 %U \ ting °“ “ a . ny aieas wher f Milk not piopeily homogeniz- ' wateiing facilities are avail ed Brubakei said, will have Isaac M.
