food here is that it is "richer." Some new local dishes for
him were chicken comsoup and red beet eggs.
Sixteen-year-old Dan Dolloff visited with Darryl
Bollinger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elam Bollinber, Manheim
RD7. His biggest 4-H project is raising 120 Holstein veal
calves. He also has three beef cattle and a field crops
project where he raises squash, pumpkins and 28 acres of
sweet com which he hopes to sell at a local fruit stand for
75 - 80 cents.
Gun safety and woodworking are other projects he has
taken, as well as forestry, where he learned to identify
trees and their habitats, and learned how to grow them
and how to prune them. Although not a farm boy himself,
Dan lives with a farm family on a 350 acre farm, about 125
acres oi which are tillable.
At the Bollingers Dan helped to milk the 50 head of
Holsteins, and said it is a lot different from the four or
five times he had milked previously. He had milked in a
milking parlor, and the Bollingers have a pipeline.
Dan said the growing season in Maine is a few weeks
behind Pennsylvanian this year, although generally the
seasons are about the same.
What’s the biggest difference? To Dan It was the fact
that there are “no mountains” in Lancaster County. He
said, “I just can’t visualize a place with no mountains.”
He said he feels the exchange is valuable in “seeing the
different landscapes and learning the different ways of
farming.” Darryl agreed, “It’s a good ways of farming.”
Darryl agreed, “It’s a good way to meet other people and
to find out how other people do things.” Dan added that he
had never heard of the Amish.
Another difference is that since so much of Maine is
wooded, most farms do some work with their trees, and
the one on which Dan lives is no exception. He said they
cut the trees in winter and haul the logs out with work

horses, and then sell the logs to the mill. He said they don’t
make too much money; it’s mostly something to do in the
winter.
Dan helped to cultivate some field com at the Bollingers
and he said, "If we had been doing it at home, we would
have had to stop 20 times to remove stones.” He said
there are stone walla everywhere which were built with
stones picked from the fields, and there could be five
times as many fences because there are so many rocks in
the fields. One springtime activity, of necessity, is
cleaning the fields before planting.
Dan was also impressed with the size of some of the
equipment found here in the county. Despite the fact that
farms may be larger in Maine, most of them are not large
tillable acreages, consequently, there is not need to have
really large equipment. Darryl and Dan talked about feed
prices, and agreed that they are about the same.
Dan will be participating in their county fair this year,

exhibiting a bee! which he won lasst year at a calf
scramble. He explained that there were 11 kids (or nine
anmais and the first nine who got halters on and tied up
the calves won them. The scramble was sponsored by the
local fair association, and the only qualification was that
you be a 4-H member.
During the week, the visitors had a chance to see Landis
Valley Farm Museum, and the Jugging operation of
Robert Book, Leola. They also participated in the
program and dancing provided by the Rutherford County
4-H Square Dancers on Saturday. There were interesting
activities to participate in with their families too. Clark
and Dolloff both attended the Holstein Field Day, and
Cindy and Clark visited Park City. Clark was particularly
impressed with his visit to Donegal Mills, the historic
Donegal Church and Witness Tree and the Cameron
Mansion.
All in all, it was an exciting week, filled with new ex
periences both for the visiotors from Maine, and for their
hosts locally. Next week a busload of local 4-H’ers will
return the visit, and spend a week getting to know Oxford
County Maine.
The experience of living with people is one which will
create a lasting understanding, and give the young people
a unique opportunity for expanding their horizons.
