Tractor Puller Meet
For State Competition
The Pennsylvania Tractor
Pullers Association (PTPA)
will hold its annual State
Championship Pull-Off Oct. 5
from 1 to 7 p.m. at the
Somerset County Fair
Grounds at Meyersdale, it
was announced tobay by
Agriculture Secretary Jim
McHale.
“The association is one of
nine statewide agricultural
organizations that receive
our support through harness
racing proceeds,” said
'McHale. “This support was
granted because we felt the
association has been
focusing public attention on
agriculture,”
McHale urged people to
attend the annual tractor
pull and see “the skill our
fanners have with their
maachines.”
Lester 0. Houck,
association secretary, said
the event, sponsored by the
Southwestern Chapter of the
PTPA, will include the top
five tractors in each class
from each of the six chapters
that comprise the
associaion. “ITiis means we
will have 30 of Penn
sylvania’s best competing
for the number one spot in
each class,” said Houck.
HoUck explained that the
top five tractors in each
class are determined by the
amount of points they
receive at the nearly 40
PTPA sanction pulls across
the state held prior to the
Oct. 5 Pull-Off.
Purse money for the Pull-
Off will be $3,300, plus $l,lOO
certificates from Golden
Harvest Seed Company, the
1974 PTPA sponsor.
