“Yuki” Enjoys Country Life
One of the hardest things for
Hiroyuki Ogura to handle is the
English language. Especially the
English language spoken as it’s
meant to be spoken - with a
Pennsylvania Dutch accent.
The hardest thing for the
Clarence Stauffer family to
handle was Hiroyuki Ogura. Not

This is Yuki’s first experience
at farm living, and he reports
that he likes the peaceful country
life-style. A native of Osaka,
Japan, Yuki is a sophomore
business management student at
Kohnan University, which is near
Osaka. He says he’d like to come
back to this country to continue
his busniess studies.
Yuki met his first cow when
came to the Stauffer farm, and
the experience hasn’t persuaded
him to swing to dairy science.
Being a city dweller, Yuki said
he didn’t know too much about
Japanese farmers, except that
they’re all rich.
Yuki’s father operates a chain
of eleven restaurants in Osaka,
and is president of that city’s 200-
member Lions Club.
While Yuki is visiting the
Stauffers, his family is hosting a
student from Indiana. Farm
work isn’t one of the things one
learns in the city, Yuki oc
casionally pitches in with some of
the chores.
His stay here has been very
quiet, Yuki said, but not entirely
inactive. He accompanied the
local contingent of 4-H’ers to
Penn State for the Tues. annual
State 4-H Days and spoke briefly
at a meeting of the Baron-Stiegel
Lions Club.
Hiroyuki Ogura, an exchange student from Japan, is a
guest at Stauffer's Sunny Craft dairy farm, Ephrata. He says
that he's enjoying his first experience at farm living.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 26,1972 —
Pennsylvania Crop Reporting
Service said the 1,266,000 chicks
put on feed was a 14 percent
improvement over the previous
week but still one percent behind
a year ago.
The renewed interest stalled, at
least temporarily, the steady
downward trend in broiler
production by Pennsylvania
farmers The current 10 week
average of chick placements
trails the same period in 1971 by
six percent.
The setting of eggs in hat
cheries is also m the decline. The
1,819,000 settings is a three
percent gain over last week, but
like placements down 13
percent—in a comparison with
both the same week and the
three-week average in 1971.
Outshipments of day old chicks
stay high, averaging 261,000
during the past 10 weeks. The
figure represents about 15 per
cent of all eggs set in the state
