Nippy mornings and clear
cool nights are the best
weather ingredients for any
farmer’s fair or so say the
residents of New Holland.
And if that is indeed true,
then the people of that
eastern Lancaster County
community had their wishes
come true this week when
they staged their annual
community fair.
While two other Lancaster
County fairs had been
hampered the week before
by heavy rains, New Holland
was dealt an ideal week.
Sporting both a street fair
and agricultural events, the
Farmer’s Fair opened on
Wednesday evening with a
parade. Thursday marked
the 4-H steer contest along
with the annual pig show.
Tractor driving contests
were held on Thursday
evening with events for both
the adults and 4-Hers.
Numerous exhibits
ranging from arts and crafts
to field crops were displayed
in various buildings
throughout the community.
4-H Steer
Show
Cindy Yoder, a young lady
Youths from the New Holland area, braved the
chilly weather on Thursday afternoon to show their
market hogs at the Farmer’s Fair.
AC executive
expects strong
equipment market
DENVER, COLO. - Joseph
H. Maloney, executive vice
president, Allis-Chalmers
Corp., said that the end of the
economic recession in the
United States, coupled with
an improved agricultural
outlook, will help generate a
strong market for
agricultural equipment for
the remainder of 1975 and for
1976.
Worldwide prospects for
farm machinery are also on
the rise, Maloney said at the
annual convention of the
Farm and Industrial
Equipment Institute being
held here.
“The long term im
plications of the latest
Russian grain deal are that
weather conditions will
periodically depress their
crop and provide an ad
ditional market for us. In
view of their increasing red
meat consumption and the
grain needed to support that
program, we have reason to
be encouraged as to the
future prospects for high
level export shipments. With

from Morgantown, exhibited
the grand champion steer at
the farm show. Her charolais
steer brought $.96 per pound
when auctioned off at the
New Holland Sales Stables
following the show. H. D.
Matz, Ephrata, bought the
grand champion animal
which weighed in at 1115
pounds.
Kathy Martin, New
Holland R 3, showed her
Hereford steer to reserve
grand champion honors and
also won a berth in the fitting
and showing competitions.
Other 4-Hers placing in the
top of their classes were:
Angus
Ist - Tami Groff, New
Holland R 3; Tim Groff, New
Holland R 3; 3rd - Vicki Bare,
Witmer.
Crossbred
2nd - Donna Eberly,
Churchtown; 3rd - Robert
Weaver, New Holland Rl.
Hereford
2nd - Billy Martin,
Goodville; 3rd - Dale Her

Hog Show
A number of New Holland
area youths were on hand
Thursday afternoon for the
other offshore markets
exhibiting similar dietary
trends and increasing
needs for grain, the impact
on this country’s carry-over
stocks, prices, and farm
income give us confidence in
the future.” he said.
With sales up 42 per cent
through July, 1975, over the
same period in 1974, the
Agricultural Equipment
Divisions of Allis-Chalmers
Corp. are a major profit
contributor to the company.
“One of the prime factors in
this increase has been the
introduction and acceptance
of our new high horsepower
tractors,” Maloney said.
“And, despite a very sub
stantial increase m factory
shipments of Gleaner
combines, we are still unable
to keep up with a continued
heavy demand.”
Concerning the industrial
tractor market, Maloney
said that the increase in new
housing starts and other
economic factors signal a
slow recovery for that
market.
