"You have to keep up with
the time* or the girls would
lose interest," Debbie
commented.
When asked what her
feeling was concerning the 4-
H projects now, Debbie
replied, "well, I believe that
everything has become more
relaxed."
"The projects are being
changed and altered to blend
in with the present lifestyles
and I think that is good."
What values does 4-H offer
for youth today? Debbie
noted the work of the ex
tension in providing in
formation on activities to all
the members.
“I think it is great how well
the extension works to in
form all the members about
the program and activities in
4-H.”
“Getting young people
involved and in protects
other than in their club is
important and helpful for
later life.”
Debbie’s 4-H work in
sewing helped her decide on
a career in the Clothing and
Textiles field. The young
lady graduated this spring
from Mansfield having
majored in that area of
Home Economics and is
currently employed at
Donccker's Clothing Store in
Ephrata. Debbie expressed
an interest in continuing her
education as she would like
to teach clothing courses in
college.
"I may go back to school
but for now I enjoy being at
home and getting some
varied experience."
No doubt her 4-H work will
keep her busy until the
members finish their
projects for this year.
Debbie is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Myers,

Seed Expert
Offers Advice
A seed expert with the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
(USDA) offered some advice
to farmers and seedsmen in
the Northeast about an
amendment of the Federal
Seed Act.
Clyde Edwards, chief seed
law enforcement officer in
USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service (AMS),
said he hoped an explanation

The Stonemans, a pop
country musical group,
which has become in
creasingly popular
throughout the last year, will
highlight the July 12 edition
of Shindig at Cripple Creek.
A family quintet, the
Stonemans, have been
pleasing crowds of bluegrass
fans from Nashville to San
Francisco with their
mountain music and artistic
lyrics. Playing a variety of
instruments, the group has
been awarded myriad good
reviews from critics all over
the country.

of “Title 5” of the federal
seed law might clear up
some evident misun
derstanding for farmers and
local seedsmen who sell seed
of certain varieties of cotton,
lima bean, soybean and
wheat. Special protection
has been granted to the
owners of these varieties
under the Plant Variety
Protection Act (PVPA).
At present, there are 66
varieties of cotton, lima
bean, soybean and wheat
that are specially protected.
The owners of these varieties
are the holders of the cer
tificates of protection issued
for the varieties under the
PVPA.
When the PVPA was
signed into law in late 1970,
the “Title 5,” amendment
was added to the Federal
Seed Act. The main thrust of
“Title 5,” according to
Edwards, is that specially
protected varieties cannot be
generally sold by variety
name unless the seed is
certified. Neither can the
seed be legally sold under a
different variety name.
Edwards noted that
reports from AMS field of
fices indicate that some
farmers and some seed
dealers stand a good chance
of getting into trouble
through lack of knowledge
about “Title 5.” It seems
they bought seed of some of
the 66 varieties last year,
planted and harvested it, and
saved some of the seed. Now,
they are planning to sell it by
variety name as uncertified
seed, which would be an
illegal sale.
As AMS learns of such
instances, individual con
tacts are made, but this is a
slow process. Edwards
suggests that farmers and
seedsmen in the Northeast
can contact their State
Department of Agriculture,
or local County Extension
Agent, to determine whether
the varieties they have on
hand are specially protected
varieties and can be legally
sold by variety name only as
a class of certified seed
With the approval of the
owners of the varieties, seed
