The son of the late Amos

in the Manheim neighborhood,
cropping tobacco, corn, wheat
and grass running a herd of 13
Holstein and Guernsey cows.
Farming five years this com
ing spring, Martin entered the
county contest for the first tune,
and ranked first in. a field of sev
en competing on the H. B. End
slow faim at Donegal Hall, the
former rural school now used as
a church hall by historic Done
gal Church.
Martin scored 506 points. In
second place was Ray Miller, R 2
Mt Joy with 495; in third Rob
ert Kauffman, R 1 Manheim with
482; fourth, Warren Miller, R 2
Mt Joy, 449; fifth, Ephnam
Hernley, R 1 Elizabethtown with
442, and tied for sixth, Henry
Stoltzfus, R 1 Mt. Joy and C. J.
Mumma, R 1 Columbia, with 433
points.
Judges for the event were
Paris Gruber, R 1 Mt. Joy; Wil
lis Hackman, R 3 Elizabeth
town, and Lewis Bixler, R 1
Marietta, while William K.
Risser, Salunga, was chairman
of the contest committee.
Bert Home, extension engine
er from the Pennsylvania State
University, was present to help
supervise }udging on straight
ness and depth of furrow, spac
ing between furrows, coverage
and speed
The winner, who did the best
job in the 50-foot plot, is mar
ried and has a son who will be
four years old next March. He
started farming as a hired hand
for Irvm Snyder, Donegal, and
Martin Greiner, R 2 Mt. Joy.
Declaring that human under
standing was the “truest path” to
enduring peace, President Eisen
hower urged that “every pos
sible chink in the Iron Curtain”
be widened."
Champion Plowman
President of MFIC
Shows Improvement
COBLESKILL, N. Y. The
leader of one of the Northeast’s
largest farmer' cooperative
groups, Dr. Kenneth A. Shaul,
continued to show steady im
provement here today from a
respiratory illness suffered last
week, officials at Community
Hospital reported.
Dr. Shaul, president of the
7,500 member Mutual Federation
ot Independent Cooperatives, has
been undergoing treatment and
resting here since entering the
hospital Oct 6
Members of the family told
friends today that Dr. Shaul’b
illness was' due more to over
work and exhaustion than to any
organic difficulties.
It is expected, however, that
he will remain in the hospital
for several more weeks, his son,
John, said today.
