Dairy Meets
Rescheduled
Scheduling problems have
forced shuffling of Lancaster
County dairy management
meetings, according to Alan
Bair, assistant county agent.
Dr. Sam Guss had been
scheduled for a Nov. 2 speech on
dairy cattlediseases, but the date
was changed to Nov. 21.
Richard S. Adams was to
conduct a meeting on Nov. 14 to
discuss vitamin-mineral for
mulation, forage testing and
feeding. That session has been
moved back to December 7.
Four of the seven winners in a con-
servation photo contest came from

“Changes Ahead in
Animal Agriculture”
“There will be lots of op
portunity in the years ahead,
especially for animal
agriculture. But there will be
problems, too,” Dr. William Pope
told the Pennsylvania Livestock
and Allied Industries Association
this week.
Pope is assistant dean at Texas
A&M’s College of Agriculture,
and was the featured speaker at
the association’s first annual
dinner meeting on Wednesday
night at the Penn Hams Motor
Inn in Camp Hill
As one example of the growth
of animal agriculture, Pope said
that in Texas alone, livestock
income was twice as much as
income from crops. Not too many
years ago, he said, crops ac
counted for more money than
animals.
Pope’s slide illustrated talk
was concerned with the
challenges the livestock industry
has met in the past as well as
those it will meet in the future.
“One of the things we’ve got to
realize is that there’s a different
kind of consumer today,” Pope
said. “Women buy 75 percent of
the food sold in the U.S , and they
just don’t realize the producer’s
problems. Her mother or gr
andmother might have livedon a
farm, but today’s housewife may
never even have visited a farm.
All she knows about food is what
she sees in the supermarket.”
Consumers don’t realize, Pope
went on, all that farmers do for
them. He cited figures which
show that American farmers
provide food for 600 million meals
a day, at a cost of about 40 cents
