The new U S farm program is thinking in terms of more acreage control plus price supports This the Lancaster County fanner does not want, I believe. The cost of operations on farms is still rising some and prices received are no better which makes the net margin smaller. We will have to practice efficiency more to have left what we should have Farmers will be hearing more about the Lancaster County Agriculture Center in 1961. A permanent board is now operating with a fin ance committee and a plan ning committee. The courts have granted a charter to the board as a non profit organization (do nations toward the building of the center will be tax de ductible) Under present plans, rental fees for office space from several farm or ganizations will make the building self supporting Henry Kettering, president of the Lancaster Couity Hol stein Breeders Association - In looking back over 1960 we must admit it has been a good year for dairymen With above normal rainfall more gain on less feed.

Peach Bottom grazing was very good from early spring to late fall. Our hay and grain sup plies are plentiful which will give us a good start into the new year. As we average our prices paid to farmers for milk dur ing 1960 they are slightly a hove 1959. Dairy cow num bers have been increasing; therefore, our sale averages for the year and a late fall, HENRY KETTERING are a bitlower than ’59. The margin between good cattle with good records and com mercial cows is broadening. Looking into the new year, our Creator has promised while the earth remameth there will be seedtime and harvest. We need to apply ourselves and our work to the weather for the weather yer Hen Declared All Time Champion I; r v 2' X V* \ * - 5 ‘ u * \ LEGHORN HEN OWNED BY SHAVER POULTRY Breeding Farm at Galt, On tario, Canada, was the high layer in Missouri’s 49th standard egg test conducted at Mountain Grove, Mo.

We have faith in the fu ture. The recent blanket of snow during cold-weather is causing us to have hope for a good pasture, hay - and grain crop in 1961. How will the price of milk in '6l compare to the price in 1960? Lower if supply and demand rules. Per person consumption has decreased 10 per cent in the last ten years Higher if the support level is higher after April 1, 1961. The number of farms sell ing milk in ’6l will be half that of 1940, but we are pro ducing 15 per cent more milk. There will be more cows per farm and more milk per cow. Dairy heifer numbers are higher than they have been for some time; the result is increased production. The outlook for prices to be paid for dairy animals in 1961 is lower. This market is affected by the support price of milk and the price of beef cows. If you are not production testing your herd. 1961 is the year to start. Tire cost of the test work is absorbed by the dividend received from testing H. E Engle, Research Ag ronomist at the Southeastern -J'. Field Research Laboratory at Landisville.
