Six of the seven contestants were on hand as well as the 1975 Dairy Princess Donna Akers. According to N. Alan Bair, extension agricultural agent, thirty five gallons of milk were given out to 1075 people. Drawing almost as much attention as the pretty con testants were a calf supplied by Melvin Eby, Gordonville, and Robert H. Kauffman’s Cindy of Elizabethtown. The promotion was sponsored by the Lancaster County Dairy Princess committee as an in troduction to .June is Dairy Month. Milk around the world PERU There are some cattle in Peru but not nearly enough to furnish more than a trickle of milk for the population. Besides, some of the mountainous country is too steep and rocky for cows to move about. Here the llama befriends the natives by giving them milk. GEO.V.SEIPLE & SON R.F.D. No. 2, Van Boren Road, Easton, PA 18042 Phone 215-258-7146 MEYERS FORAGE WAGONS Ernest Sipel, well known cattle dealer of Columbia, N.J. is shown standing beside a new Meyers Forage Wagon he recently purchased from Seiple’s. This is the second Meyers Forage Wagon he has purchased from Seiple’s in the past several years. The first Meyers was so satisfactory, that he decided that he would like to have another one. In Mr. Sipel’s opinion, the Meyers Forage Wagon is as good as any and better than most. DEALER INQUIRIES ARE INVITED Although Switzerland is a great dairy country, much of the terrain is not suitable for dairy cattle. High in the Alpine sections they must depend on goat’s milk. In the lower regions, though, they still use cow’s milk ... the finest of them all. - From Dairy Council 9
