Howett Seiverling, a senior
•it Waiwick and president of
the county chapter of Future
Fnimcrs of Ameiica, stated
that the school administration
was paitly at fault for the low
enrollment because “it does
not emphasiae the vocational
ac,iiculturc curriculum All the
emphasis heie is on the aca
demic piogram,” Seuerling
said
In response to a suggestion
by S Gerald Darlington.
Speedwell Forge Farm, the
board agreed that a committee
of interested persons should
study the problem and present
their findings *o the board not
later than March 21st
At present, the number of
county schools offering voca
tional agiiculture is nine. The
program was discontinued at
Cocalico and Donegal high
schools in the past few years.
Waiwick agriculture teacher
Clair W. Zerby told this re

showed that 14 would definite

tested high in agricultural in
terests, but weren’t sure of
their plans for next year. 12
others also scored high on the
interest test, but said they
would not take the agricultuie
program.
Of his present enrollment of
twenty-five students, Zerby said
only slightly more than half
are farm boys. The rest either
live in town or are classified
rural non-farm
Zerby also stated that the
latest county-wide survey of
job opportunities indicated
1400 possible agriculturally
related jobs would be avail
able in the county in the
next five years. “The nine
schools now carrying the vo
cational agriculture program
will not begin to fill that
need at their present rate of
enrollment,” Zerby said.
He added that far more
has to be done In the schools
to educate guidance and ad
ministration personnel on
the opportunities available in
the agribusiness field before
the vo-ag enrollment prob
lem will be solved.

Quoting histouaiis, Biemes
dei Ter said the average life
expectancy of a democratic
nation such as ours is 200
years “We’re nine years away
fiom that figure right now,”
he reminded the audience.
Civilizations before have fol
lowed a natural progression,
he said They were generally
conceived by bard working,
idealistic, simple people flee
ing tyranny. In several genera
tions, they became vastly suc
cessful. Then, somewhat deca
dent, as they learned to live
with less and less effort, and
depend more and more on the
‘Targets of big government”.
Eventually, the civilization
comes full circle, and those
who care end up by fleeing
the new tryanny they and their
ancestors helped create, Bie
mesderfer related.
'He suggested that this need
not be inevitable, that there
was nothing magic or pre
destined in the figure of 200
years. “We must work in our
communities at large to re
build a respect for the law
and to revive the spirit and
personal pride of craftsman

Turkey Growers Urged
To Limit '67 Increose
Turkey producers should lim
it 1357 pi eduction to no more
than a five percent increase
over 1068, and breeder hens
should increase by no more
than four percent, the U. S,
Department of Agi iculture iec
ommended this week.
In its 1967 Turkey Market
ing Guide, the Consumer and
MUiketing Service said the fa
vorable pnce-supply relation
ship m 1965 and 1966 is stimu
lating production in 1967
which could become excessive
if producers do not take ade
quate precautions.
U9DA estimates that al
though the demand for turkey
will increase in 1967, the gam
may be more moderate than
during the past two years. Fac
tors which contribute to in
creased consumption, accord
ing to the Guide, are rapidly
increasing consumer incomes,
a high level of employment,
less competition from red
meats, and the growth in popu
larity in f u rthereprocessed
foods containing turkey. These
factors will still help eniliairge
the demand for turkeys in
1967, but probably not as much
as in 1966. USDA officials es
timate that most of the in
creased production suggested
by the 1987 Guide will be ab
sorbed by a higher consump
tion of further processed and
cut-up forms of turkeys.
