Japan Exhibit
Helps Farmers
HARRISBURG Pennsyl
vania's participation in an agri
cultural exhibit in Japan next
month is another major step
toward opening world markets
for state fanners and food pro
cessors, State Agriculture Sec
retary Leland H. Bull asserted
last week.
A wide variety of Pennsylvan
ia food products will be display
ed at the exhibit the Ameri
can Festival which will be held
m Tokyo April 5-21. Pennsyl
vania will be among twelve
states with farm and food dis
plays at the show.
Japan, with its economy
booming and personal income
rising rapidly, has become on of
the world’s major markets for
agricultural products, Secretary
Bull said.
Pennsylvania, he said, is in
a strong position to help supply
that market. The state’s food
processing industry second
most important manufacturing
category in the Commonwealth"
in value of production has
had a 7.3 percent increase in
the past year. Output now ex
ceeds $4 billion, a figure topped
only by the primary metals in
dustry.
Eleven Pennsylvania manu
facturers and food processors
will have displays at Tokyo.
They will feature many special
ty products to appeal to the new
consumer demand that is grow
ing in Japan.
Included will be rolled chick
en and turkey meats, mush
rooms, grape juice, apple but
ter, maple products, jellies, and
canned fruits, vegetables and
juices. Chocolate products, pret
zels, crackers, cookies, paper
table items, and canned dog
lood also will be displayed.
The Pennsylvania exhibit,
which will be formally opened
by Secretary Bull, also will
salute the West Tokyo Little
League team which won the Lit
tle League World Champion
ship at Williamsport last sum
mer.
About 100,000 cancer pa
tients will die in 1968 who might
have been saved by earlier di
agnosis and prompt treatment.
The American Cancer Society
seeks to reduce this unnecessary
loss of life through research,
education and service.
Quality seems to be the re
sult of intelligent effont.

About This Pussy Cat And That
I know a little pussy.
Who’s coat is silver gray.
She lives down in the meadow.
Not very far away.
Although, she is a pussy,
She’ll never be a cat.
For she’s a Pussy Willow
Now what do you think of that?
Mew, Mew. Mew, Mew.
Skat!

Health problems.” Roy- noted
that one appreciates U. S. ag
riculture and standards of living
when one realizes that a man
with one cow, providing milk to
sell, is r i c h in Algeria. There
the average income is $3OO a
year.
Roy flew to Algeria and came
home by boat.
Edwin, the latest son to be
come a Keystone Farmer, likes
farming too, but isn't sure what
opportunities he will have in the
future. Ed likes mechanics and
received the Garden Spot Chap
ter FFA Award in this category
last week. He is a 17-year-old
senior at Lampeter-Strasburg
High School. He has served as
treasurer and chaplain of the
Garden Spot Chapter and re
ceived the Red Rose Degree and
the FFA Foundation Award.
The Brenemans have one
daughter, Doris, wife of Clar
ence Bauman. Clarence is at
tending Goshen College in Indi
ana, studying to become a so
cial worker. The Baumans
spent two years in Birmingham,
Ala., in Alternate Service.
Really, the best summary of
the Brenemans’ feeling for the
country life is what Breneman,
himself, said, “We are all sort
of ‘outdoorsmen’. The boys,
when they have free time, take
a gun and the dog and head for
the fields, rather than jump in
the car and drive someplace.”

sions, Hughes gave these points:
find the problem; collect the
facts; analyze the facts; make a
decision; take action and accept
the responsibility of that deci
sion.
“Too often we put ourselves
in the laborer category and out
of the management position as
farmers,” he said.
He also said cattle feeder
dare" not forget depreciation,
interest, repairs, taxes and in
surance.
For every dollar invested in
new buildings you can expect 8
to 10 percent increase in yearly
costs for repairs and for every
dollar invested in new machin
ery, the added yearly costs will
be 18 to 2 percent of the origin
al purchase price.
