have- already gone into the
show.
Many of the winners in
the 1960 show will be in
contention for the prize mon
ey and ribbons in the 1961
edition, but at least two of
the prominent county en
trants of former years will
be absent.
Glenn Foreman, the 1960
winner of the Grand Cham
pionship Steer banner will
not have a steer in the ring
next year. Glenn decided to
sell his 4-H animal at the
time of the Southeast dis
trict roundup. It was his
feeling that the steer was
finished at that time and
would not improve* if- held,
until the Farm Show.
One of the Ayshire exhib
itors, usually counted on to
bring a large share of rib
bons back to Lancaster coun
ty, will be absent from com
petition. Masonic Homes
Farms, Elizabethtown, thru
a missed deadline in mailing
entries, failed to get any
livestock entered for compe
tition in the show. The farm
showed the Grand Champion
Ayrshire bull at the 1960
show.
Exhibitor of the ’6O Grand
Champion Ayrshire female,
15-year-old R. Edwin Ham
ish, Christiana Rl, plans to
march once again on the cov
eted banner His cow, Glen
hurst Dixie Pretty, has not
yet been beaten in showring
competition. At present she
is in the finals' of the All
American Ayrshire competi
tion, and last week her Dairy
Herd Improvement Assn,
record was 62 8 pounds
of 4.4 per cent milk per day.
She is in her second lacta
tion.
But it is not on “Dixie”
alone that Eddie is pinning
his hopes He will also show
Rock Acres Miss Chex, pur
chased at the sale
of' the John E. Pads herd
earlier this year.
Eddie also has his eye on
the Ayshire bull banner as
well He will exhibit the 13
month old Ridgelawn Pre
Wonder, bred by A. J. Strits,
Greencastle R 3, Pa.
In the Swine division of
the show, one of the peren
nial winners, C. Warren
