Dairying Is His Interest
(Continued From Pap I)
In the 4-H classes, Rick’s
animal placed 2nd in the
senior yearling class and Bth

Other 4-H activities also
kept Rick busy as he par
ticipated in many leadership
programs such as the teen
leader council of Lebanon
County, and attended the
Leadership Conference in
Dublin Gap. He also at
tended the Leadership
Council training at Penn
State prior to the 4-H
Congress.
As an outstanding 4-Her
Rick also Went to the
Consumers' Corner
Use Care When Canning
Constant vigilance might well
be the watchword for homemak
ers as they handle, process, pre
pare and eat food.
Although certain forms of
mold, yeast and bacteria can be
important in some areas of food
production, other forms can be
quite harmful and even fatal.
With canning season upon us,
it is important to be alert to
the dangers of one of the worst
Eastern Uni
ister Go.

Rick participated on the
dairy Judging team at the
State 4-H Festival and
placed 12th individually.
Between his busy
moments in 4-H, Rick is also
active in the Cedar Crest
FFA Chapter and is
presently serving as the
chapter treasurer and the
county secretary.
For his work in FFA
projects that have included
dairy, grain and field crops,
Rick has been awarded the
Chapter Star Farmer Award
and record book awards.
Rick explained that he
would like to continue in
offenders in the whole story of
food processing
This organism, a type of bac
terium, produces a deadly poison
and causes the disease, botulism
The organism is colorless, odor
less and tasteless
The disease it causes has
marked symptoms, including
muscular weakness, double vis
ion, dilated pupils, swelling of
the tongue, and paralysis of the
throat and eye muscles, often
making it impossible for the per
son to see or speak
IT PAYS TO FEED THE AGRI-KING WAY!
"Agri-King first sampled my roughage on November 15,1973. At that time the herd was averaging
36 pounds of milk per cow per day. Sometime in December we began feeding the Agri-King products.
By February they dropped in production by 1 pound of milk per cow per day. We were not happy at all
and called the Agri-King serviceman to tell him we were quitting because the results were unfavorable,
and it was costing way too much money. The serviceman asked if he could come down and find the
problem. We agreed but told him that it wouldn’t do any good. He came and went over the complete
ration. I didn't realize that the small changes in feeding made such a big difference. We heard him out
and things made common sense. He convinced us to try it for 3 more months following the Agri-King
feeding, program accurately."
"So we started all over again, retesting and balancing the complete ration - the hay, silage and grain.
After following this balanced program for 3 months, the cows started to freshen easier, milk better, and
breed better. By the beginning of Summer the cows were up 10 pounds of milk per cow per day and by
the middle of Sept, the herd was up 20 pounds of milk per cow per day from when we started. This is
the highest they’ve ever been.”
"I had never really wanted to get over 45-50 pounds of milk per cow per day for fear of tearing up the
cows, but now they've been averaging over 50 pounds for more than 3 months and the herd health is
still in excellent condition.”

farming after he graduates
from Cedar Crest High
School in the spring.
Rick is Interested in going
to college to major in dairy
science and would even
tually like to work in ex
tension with dairy.
“I’d like to stay around the
farming area,” he explained
“and am mainly interested
m dairying.”
While long term interests
are still in the formulating
stage for Rick, he knows that
his plans will be for the near
future, as he will be
traveling to visit Penn State
following his being named a
finalist in the distinguished
Junior Member Club of the
Pa. Holstein Association.
Unless the disease, which is
sometimes mistaken for tetanus,
is diagnosed correctly within a
few hours, it is fatal
Fortunately, this disease can
be prevented The organism that
causes it grows in a non-acid or
low-acid medium and in the ab
sence of air. .
A jar or can of low-acid food
that has not been properly pioc
cessed is a fertile place for bac
terial growth The organism can
survive a temperature of 212 de
grees for 8 to 10 hours But it
can easily be destroyed at a tem
perature of 240 degrees and 10
pounds pressure in a matter of
minutes, depending on the food
For this reason, it is import
ant to use a pressui e canner that
has been tested and is working
properly, when canning low-acid
foods These foods include meats
and all vegetables, except
tomatoes
