Brown Swiss Show Added
To All-American Agenda
A new addition to the Penn
sylvania All-American (PAA)
Dairy Show will add glamour and
hoopla to the judging ring. The
10th PAA opens Monday, Sep
tember 24, at the Farm Show
Building
The new event is the
designation of the Brown Swiss
breed show as the approved
Eastern National show of the
Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders’
Association, Beloit, Wisconsin.
This is just one of six breed shows
in the PAA with the Holstein
breed having been sanctioned the
Eastern National for a number of
years
Because it is the Eastern
National show, several things
occur almost automatically. The
amount of premiums offered
jumps more than 10 percent to
$lO,OOO and the number and
quality of entries increase,
resulting in keener competition
Most of the glamour and hoopla
will occur at the tail end of the
judging in the Brown Swiss
classes, Tuesday, September 25.
The top two ribbon winners in
each of the five cow classes along
with the champion and reserve
champion of Monday’s Junior
Show, will enter the ring in a
parade of champions
Parade of Champions are not
new to the Farm Show but this
one should prove to be unique in
that the champion cows will all be
wearing neck bells and their

traditional Swiss vests and hats.
It is from this parade of
champions that Judge James
Armbruster, Eagle, Wisconsin,
will select the Grand and Senior
Champion Females and the
Reserve Grand and Reserve

final touch will be appropriate

transform the Farm Show Arena
into a quaint little Alpine chalet
and farmstead.
All junior members of the
Brown Swiss Association will be
wearing distinctive jackets as
they take their animals into
competition. Junior members

For Legislation
The major problems
bargaining associations face
today are processors’ refusal to
negotiate, weak membership
cooperation, need for more
members, inadequate financing,
and insufficient bargaining
legislation. Product oversupply
also was mentioned at the time
the problems were explored in a
recent survey by the U. S.

To help solve problems, the
most popular proposal was
legislation to encourage
bargaining, that is, the actual
negotiation of price and terms of
trade between buyers and
associations of farmers.
The survey was conducted by
USDA’s Farmer Cooperative
Yom Name
P.O. BOX 266. LITITZ. PA 17542
Service (FCA), and results are in
a 28-page PCS booklet,
“Bargaining Cooperatives--
Selected Agri-Industries.” The
study shows something of the
scope of agricultural bargaining
throughout the country. In all, 53
bargaining associations
responded by providing data on
their activities. Dairy bargaining
cooperatives were not included,
because PCS considers their
actions specialized enough to
merit a separate study.
Survey information is from 11
fruit, 8 vegetable, and 5 regional
sugarbeet associations, plus a
number of multi-commodity
organizations, including the
American Agricultural
Marketing Association and the
National Farmers Organization.
Nearly all responses said
members, nonmembers and
processors benefit from
association bargaining. They
listed these bargaining results:
better prices for members, more
price stability, assured market
for products, more orderly
marketing, supervised grading
and inspection, and reliable
representation.

They indicated they will seek to
increase membership and
bargaining strength.

Plants with shallow roots-such
as azaleas, rhododendrons,
mountain laurel, and flowering
dogwood need frequent
waterings. And it’s a good idea to
continue watering these plants on
a regular basis until the ground
freezes this fall, says J. Robert
Nuss, Extension oranemntal
horticulture specialist at The
Pennsylvania State University.
