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.
There’s no sense in worrying
about your money when your
creditors have whole staffs to
do nothing else but that

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

able fiom the NEPPCO office at

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.
Dr Witmer said, “If we aie
preparing even one or two per
cent of the population for life
we should do it ”
After the open meeting, the
board continued on into the
night and announced they had
unanimously decided to continue
