■Lancaster Farming. Saturday. August 17,1968 8 In-Plant Judging Adds New Twist To NEPPCO's Market Egg Contest A change‘in rules to permit in-plant judging promises to turn the NEPPCO Market Egg Show into an anything-can-hap pen race at the Council’s annual exposition in Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 8-9-10. “Sometimes in past years it has appeared that Pennsylvania had an edge on other contestants because of closeness to the con test,” commented J. C. Lambert, Jr., show chairman. “But this year will be an entirely different story and with the possibility of some surprising results.” Under current rules, egg en tiles need not be brought to the Ice Cream Eaters Consume 70,205,000 Gallons In 1967 Ice cream lovers licked and spooned their way through Pennsylvania’s 70,205,000-gallon output of 1967. Ice milk climb ed up on the favorite chart: to an increase of 10 percent, oi ls 043,000 gallons, while ice cream dipped 3 percent. Never theless, the Commonwealth maintained its position as se cond among all the states in ice cream production. Of the 1,901 million pounds of milk used in the manufacture of dairy products in Pennsyl vania last year, ice cream and other frozen products were the largest users. They accounted for 1,128 million pounds, or 59 percent, while creamery butter was second, using 346 million pounds or 18 percent. A State Crop Reporting Ber ime of manufactured dairy pro ducts in the Commonwealth in 1967 indicated that 2,900,000 gallons of milk sherbet were pioduced, a 13 percent decline fi om the previous year Cream ery butter totaled 15,824,000 pounds, an increase of 18 per cent Swiss cheese production set a new xecoid at 5,746,000 pounds, Italian cheese was up 28 per cent to 8,740,000 pounds, and ci earned cottage cheese declin ed by 4 percent to 40,604,000 pounds. The manufacture of non-fat diy milk m 1967 declined 7 per cent from 1966 to an output of 34,017,000 gallons. Street’s Name Wall Street, New York City, owes its name to Peter Stuyves ant who, as governor of New Amsterdam in 1652, ordered a palisade .built on the site to pro tect the town from an English invasion.

State egg enforcement officials will do the judging right in the plant of the entrant. “The Gimmick,” said Lam bert, “is that officials may swoop down on any given day and select their own random sample of plant output. As a result we may get some surprise win ners ” When eggs had to be trans ported to the show, it worked a hardship on distant entrants. Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York have been the favor ed states. Now entrants in Maine, Ohio or West Virginia will be on an equal footing with them. There’s no entry fee for the show, but entrants must be mem beis of the Northeastern Poul try Producers Council. Those scoring 98 points or better out of 100 will receive blue ribbons. All of the latter are then eli gible for a special “Best of Show Gold Award ” In past years, winners have used the blue ribbons as a springboard for brand promotion at the consumer level Many have used special point-of-pur chase promotion and local adver tising to announce the fact that their eggs received a top rating in a 14-state area contest. NEPPCO officials this week urged all dealers, retailers, pro ducers and handlers to seek the piestige and promotional value of the contest by firing off entry blanks Deadline for en tiles is Aug. 30 Applications and show information are avail able fiom the NEPPCO office at 10 Rutgeis Place, Trenton, N J. 08618 • L S School Board (Continued from Page 1) In the discussion from the 50 or more farm interested persons present, these points were given to the board for consideration: 98 percent of all jobs are, in some way related to agriculture; anyone who comes from farm background has a recommenda tion students from the ghetto doesn’t have; though only 4 per cent of the population in the Twp. is from the farm, 40 per cent of the school taxes are com ing from agriculture; the school had state approval for the Ag facilities; students would not like to transfer to another school for their senior year; and the less the number of Agricul ture students the more important the quality of the education of that number must be Near the end of the 3Vz hour session, one farmer asked lor the individual board members to express their opinions and without exception they said the meeting had been informative and helpful.
