Hopes To [Continued From Page 1] or ponies and that she has enjoyed working with them since she was young. Her interest in horses helped Jane become a member of the horse judging taam for Lancaster County. Being on the team meant many hours of practice and studying including making trips to various horse farms in the area. Jane explained how the judging is arranged and why oral reasons are given. “The horses are usually classified into three pairs,” she reported, “you muk place them as a high, middle and - low pairs and then tell the judges why you placed them in that manner.” “At first I was frightened to get up in front of the judges and talk but now I feel much more confident,” she explained. Along with her interest m horses and animals, Jane also likes to cook and bake. At the County Achievement Day, Jane’s bread dish won the Best of Class Award in the Senior Division. “My favorite recipe,” she said “is a hamburger casserole made with macaroni, ground beef and cheese.” Jane also took a food preservation project which is an individual project for older 4-H members. During the summer season, she made jams and jellies which she also exhibited at the Achievement Day. Although Jane has many accomplishment of which she can be very proud, - perhaps the most prominent is that of being a Keystone Award Winner in the Achievement Program. Older 4-H members are asked each year to fill out a “blue form” detailing their activities and contributions to 4-H work These are submitted to the state office and several top 4-Hers in ROOF PROBLEMS?

When asked why she had chosen the Achievement catagory, Jane explained that she wanted to show how much she had gained from being in 4-H and that she didn’t want to be judged only on one catagory. “I could have applied for Hoover, Feister Win County FFA Awards | Continued From Page 11 son of Mr. and Mrs. George S.

In addition to a drop in the estimated corn crop, soybeans fell 16 percent from last year and grain sorghum was off 34 percent. The wheat crop alone was up 8 percent from last year, but still didn’t meet the USDA’s predicted,harvest figure which woulc have topped last year’s crop by 18 percent. “Of course,” Moore added, “This report came out be fore we got all that rain in August, so we could see improvement in soybeans. But I think the com that was lost is going to stay lost. The rainsmight have helped the late planted corn out there, buy you know what’ll happen to that com if we get an early frost.” Another factor pushing up domestic prices, Moore said, is the export market. “I think we’re in a better position than ever before for export controls,” he said. “Normally, we export 20 percent of our com crop, 40 perent of our wheat and 50 percent of our soybeans. Last year, we sold 40 percent of our com abroad, 76 per cent of our wheat and 55 percent of our soybeans. “Now , we’ve been told that export controls will be imposed only if national security is endangered, or if we have short domestic supplies or if we’re ex periencing abnormally large inflation. “The way I see it, we’ve got inflation - abnormally large inflation - and we’ve got a' short domestic supply. I don’t think American con sumers are going to sit still for soaring meat, milk and egg prices just so we can sell our grain to other countries. The only alternative to ex port controls is a five to ten percent reduction m livestock numbers.” Moore noted that the domestic com requirement for the commg year should be about 4.9 billion bushels, which is about the same ‘as the amount we’re expected to grow. The USDA has said Ksico— . PAGE 41 I • f A «0 I < . « \ that already some 800 million bushels is slated for export, and there are firm commitments this early in the year for 400 million bushels. One point Moore did add was that domestic con sumption could be off as much as 10 percent, because many beef and hog feeders won’t be buying com in the coming year. “I expect that hog producers are in the process of liquidating right now,” he told the audience. “There’s .no way a hog farmer can see a profit for himself in this business for the rest of the year.” Beef producers will be pressed on one side by high com prices and on the other by low retail prices, Moore feels. “Depending on which way you look at it,” he said, “there’s either a surplus of beef cattle or a shortage. USDA figures show cattle on feed dow 21 percent, but they show cattle numbers at 138.3 million, which is up five percent from last year. 'Those animals may not be on feedlots, but they’re out there somewhere, and they’ve got to come to market.” Moore expects to see a lot more beef animals going straight from the range to the supermarket. Right now, in fact, the USOA is con sidering a change m the beef grading system that would make this process easier. Beef mdutry spokesmen are urging the USDA to reduce requirements for each grade by one notch, so that what is now considered good beef could be sold as choice.
