HARRISBURG - Kent
Wiclhamer, chairman of the
nouse Agriculture Com
mittee and Columbia County
fruit grower, is willing to be
Pennsylvania’s next
Secretary of Agriculture,
according to a story filed by
the Associated Press last
Monday.
Shelhamer, 51, a
Democrat, lias been a House
member since 1964 and is
reported to be the Gover
nor’s choice to head the
statejs Agriculture
Department.

who needs them?
Quality roughage alone can provide much of the protein and energy
needed for milk production. But since roughages may lack both balance
and quantity of minerals necessary for maximum milk production,
bone and muscle development, and the most efficient utilization of
other nutrients—many dairymen need a mineral supplement program.
How can you tell if you need
a mineral supplement program?
Let us make a free analysis of your forage crops. We'll give you a report
on the nutrient value of your hay, silage, or other roughages, along
with recommendations for any supplements—if necessary. We won't
try to sell you anything you don't need!
Our three mineral mixes—Beacon Phos-Min, Beacon Mineral Ade and
Beacon Cal-Min—are formulated by highly respected dairy nutrition
specialists. The supplement they recommend will contain the necessary
minerals to make up deficiencies or imbalance in your roughages and to
achieve the proper calcium-phosphorus ratio in your total feeding
program.
You can rest assured that you aren't paying extra for exotic ingredients,
high transportation cost, and expensive promotion and sales cost.
With BEACON, you get
more mineral units per dollar invested.
Mineral supplements, formulated especially for the cow at reasonable
cost, are part of what we call “No nonsense feeding".

further reports that Ker
stetter, 61, is not Interested
in having the job for more
than one year. Shelhamer
couldn't take the job before
next year anyway since state
law prohibits a lawmaker
from joining the executive
branch during a current
legislative term.
Shelhamer announced a
week ago that he will not
seek re-election to the House
this year. Governor Shapp
picked him to succeed
McHale because he “knows
the problems of farmers”
and has had legislative
experience.

are the first cattle he’s ever
shipped outside of the
country except for some
which went to Canada.
Loaded aboard a “stretched
DC-8," the 75 animals left for

aloft with cattle exports
Myers is acting as an agent
for Zolman Enterprises,
Inc., an Amcrlcan-Iranian
concern which is Involved in
a variety of businesses,
Including the exporting of
cattle. According to
Zolman’s president, Javad
Zolfaghari, the firm has been
exporting cattle for about a
year and sent approximately
4,000 head of dairy cattle to
Iran during the first nine
months of 1975.
Myers and his brother,
Park, who is a partner in the
Black and White Farm, are
figuring on selling eight
plane-loads of grade Holstein
heifers in months to come.
The Zolman firm is ex
pressing interest in cattle
from this area and may
possibly rely primarily on
Pennsylvania animals. Each
plane load may take as many
as 80 head, depending on the
size and weight of the
heifers. Cattle will be picked
according to Iranian
specifications, Myers noted.

Although the science of
microphotography is over
100 years old, the real growth

“V-mail” was put on micro
film for shipment overseas.
During the four war years an
estimated one billion letters
were processed on film.
