The Maryland ABC-Sirc
Power Open House held Oct.
16, 1975 at Frederick, Md.
was a successful event. Over
700 people turned out to see
the in-waiting sires,
daughters of proven sires,
and to meet the people who
operate their cooperative.
The Annual Meeting of
Maryland ABC was called to
order at 10 o’clock a.m. by
President Schnebly. After
reading of the minutes,
Treasurer & General
Manger of Maryland ABC,
W.L. Campbell gave the
financial report. He com
mented on the strength of the
cooperative. In a year that
was financially uncertain for
most businesses, Maryland
ABC produced a substantial
margin and is in a sound
financial position.
Following the meeting,
Professor M McCullough, a
leading nutritional specialsit
from the University of
Georgia, spoke on “New
Concepts in Feeding Dairy
Cattle.” He spoke on three
major feeding aspects;
intake, balancing a ration,
and what you feed cows. He
stated that there are many
feeds on the market that will
fill a cow. However,
Egg voters
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture reminds eligible
egg producers of the
referendum Nov. 3-28 on the
proposed nationwide
research and promotion
order for eggs, egg products,
and spent fowl (laying hens
no longer productive).
Marked ballots must be
received in Washington, D.C.
no Later than Nov. 28.
All eligible voters known to
the Department have been
mailed ballots and in
structions. Any producer
who has not received a ballot
may obtain one by con
tacting a county office of

Stabilazation and Con-

complete
records
In the herd of Milton M.
Brubaker, Spruce Villa
Farm, lititz, Pennsylvania,
a five-year old registered
Ayrshire cow named Ayrwen
Royal Priscilla has com
pleted an official milk
production record of 16,560
pounds, with 683 pounds of
butterfat, on twice daily
milking for 305-day DHIR
testing period. This record is
one of many being made by
an increasing number of
registered Ayrshires on the
Ayrshire Breeders’
Association official DHIR
testing program.
Priscflla’s record is 1%
times the national average
for all dairy cows The
Ayrshire breed is noted for
persistent, profitable
production of nutritious,
quality milk.
Also in the herd are the
following cows and their
records - Monica Royal
Anna. Age J-3; Milk 12,980;
Fat 537; Tunes Nat. Average
dairymen should strive to
increase intake with feed
that will add to production.
He also stated that modem
dairy rations should be
formulated by a competent
feed company or university
because they have the
facilities to do it more ac
curately to insure a com
pletely balanced ration.
Following Prof. Mc-
Cullough's very informative
talk, the Maryland Dairy
Shrine Club held their 12
Annual Meeting. Two dairy
industry pioneers, John
Conover and Wendell Ar
buckle were honored.
John Conover served as
Extension Dairy Specialist
at the University of
Maryland from 1922-1944.
This was during the earlier
days of Extension when it
was very difficult to get
acceptance of new and better
methods and change the
attitudes of farmers. His
dedication to the service of
farm people gained him the
wide spread respect and fond
rememberance of all those
who knew him.
Wendell Arbuckle per
formed in an outstanding
manner, his teaching,
research and extension
reminded
servation Service, or from
the Director, Poultry
Division, Agricultural
Marketing Service, USDA,
Washington, D.C. 20250.
An official with the AMS
Poultry Division said that
flock owners in all states
except Hawaii and Alaska
who had, at any time bet
ween June 1 and Aug. 31,
1975, more than 3,000 laying
hens producing eggs for
commercial use, and who
are now engaged in egg
production are eligible to
vote. Flock owners whose
output is used primarily for
hatching purposes are not
eligible to vote.
John says -
The grandpa in the
Service Dept, is not
going to get ahead of
me. I am going to
celebrate too with
