Martin, ROl, Millersville, son of John Martin, Jr. Martin was one of 78 youngsters who registered the calf which was awarded by drawing. To be eligible the young person must be willing to show the animal as a 4-H or FFA project animal. Eight-year old Martin says he will join 4- H, and was obviously pleased at the prospect of raising the calf.

Micheal Young, director of programs for the Penn sylvania Holstein Association, explained the division of responsibilities among staff members of the state association, and he thanked Lancaster county for its continued support of the export program. He said, “Pennsylvania is the export center of Holsteins going to Europe,” adding that more animals were sent abroad from Lancaster County in one two-month period than from two neighboring states. He also discussed some of the reasons for continuing exporting such great numbers of Holsteins to Europe, saying, “We are building better relations through agriculture.” He explained the European way of raising animals for both milk and meat corn sumption, and said a large percentage of their milk is used in cheese and manufactured dairy products because of the relatively inefficient tran sportation available for the fresh product. He encouraged everyone to be on some kind to official testing to improve the value of their animals, and told breeders they should always ask to check registration papers before signing the check for animals they have purchased. Young announced that Lancaster county is the first club in the state to go over 600 members, as this county did in 1974. He said, “The Lancaster County Holstein Phone 717-768-7111 Rodney Martin, right, proudly leads the Holstein he won during the Breed’s Field Day. Shown with Club is the backbone of the state.” 1974 Dairy Princess Diane Crider, Nottingham, spoke to the dairymen about just why milk is important to each person, calling it the one food that is “custom-made” to fit our bodies. She said it is a matter of good health, good ecology, good economics and pure enjoyment to drink milk. She concluded by saying, “Milk is truly one of God’s greatest miracles.” N. Alan Bair, Associate County Extension Agent spoke briefly to the dairymen on the importants of using health charts.
