Did you know that a 12-year old needs more protein than his father? Or, that a seven to nine year old child needs more pro tein than his mother? The rea son is that these are growing children who rely on a supply of protein to build and repair their body tissues. That’s why meats, a primary source of protein, should have such an important place in the diet. So, mother, pass the hamburgers, hot dogs and cold cuts! are responsible for their present problems and that by self dis cipline and cooperative action they, t h e m s e 1 ves, can solve them . . . without government control . . . then I have made my point ” Elizabethtown Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 30,1968—27 Garden Spot Young Farmers Take Touts Since Garden Spot Young Farmer’s are just about equal ly divided between d a i rymen and swine and beef raisers, it seemed logical to separate for their annual tour this year, ac cording to Don Robinson, Vo-Ag teacher. The swine and beef raisers journeyed to Pennsylvania State University where they toured the new beef barns, the meat evaluation center, meats labora tory and the swine barns. At the new beef barns the men were surprised to hear of experiments in feeding fruit pomace obtain ed free from fruit processing plants. At the meats laboratory they examined carcasses and learned how temperatures at marketing time can effect or change the quality of cut out meat. The next week several of these men used some of this knowledge as they competed in the Lancaster County Swine Producers Carcass Content At the meat evaluation center the group learned how breeders can send animals to the center for meat quality and feed conver sion evaluation The week after the Penn State tour, the dairymen in the chap ter toured the Turkey Hill Dairy farm near Millersville. There they were shown the operation by Mr. Frey, who, with his son, manages the 8-900 acre farm that supports 400 cows Eye brows were raised as the group watched the milking operation in the 36 stall parlor that re quires four men to operate and takes four hours to complete milking. The dairymen wanted to know how the manure for such a large operation could be handled so they were shown a large tunnel running under the width of the huge free stall barn. Into this tunnel the manure is scraped through openings in the floor. From there it is loaded by a dozer with a bucket scoop into self-designed 2,000 gallon tank spreaders. No water is added to the manure under this system. By separating, both the dairy men and livestock raisers felt they were able to spend more time in the area they were most interested.
