Beef Clubs Receive Steers
For 1959 Feeding Projects
A total of 115'feeder calves were distributed this week
to members of Rd Rose and New Holland 4-H Baby Beef
Clubs, as the county youngsters embarked on new feeding
projects.
Saturday morning saw 97 Red Rose club members
draw lots for calves from Penna., New York, Ohio, Mary-
land, Virginia, West Virginia
and Nebraska beef breeding
herds.
This string of feeder stock
was selected by a committee
composed of County Agent
Max Sm'th, Ira Rutt, Peach
Bottom; Fred Linton, Quarry
villo; Mylin Good, Manheim;
Harry Showalter, Reinholds;
Jay R Nisselus, Manheim,
and Victar Longenecker, of
Elizabethtown.
Draw’rigs for both clubs
were held at the New Hol
land Sales Stables.
The NH. club calves were
purchased from Valley View
Farms, Timonium, Md; the
George Jackson Farm, Chris
tiana and Bay Manor Farms,
Lewis, Delaware.
Smith told the 18 New
Holland dub members be
fore their drawing Wednes
day afternoon, “We feel this
is one of the best arjd most
umform lots of steers ever
acquired for this club The
price for them is very reas
onable, considering the mar
ket for fancy feeders today.
Right now, I think you are
all even and the job you do
in feeding will tell the story
ten months from now ”

Eat More Broilers'
A University of Tennessee
study among 3,611 families
in 69 counties of the state
shows .that professional gro
ups of people eat more broi
ler meat than any other class.
More specifically, the study
showed that such profession
als as teachers, medical per
sonnel, lawyers and public
servants ate 28 1 / j> pounds of
broiler meat, per person per
year.
Miners eat 20 pounds each,
the least of any group, while
people in agriculture, farm
eis, foresters and fishermen,
each ate an average of 21
pounds of broiler meat each
year.
The study further showed
that each city dweller con
sumed about 2Vi pounds mo
re broilers a year than did
people living in the country.
Farm owners ate about 1%
lbs more per pear than did
farm tenants, and small fam
ilies consumed more per per
son than large families.
