banners at the Lancaster
County Black and White
Show. The top five finishers
received prizes from Penn
field Corporation.
Attended by a sizable
crowd in spite of excellent
hay-making weather, the
field day centered around
just plain country
pleasantries and the
hospitality offered by the
Maurice Welk family. The
Welks’ herd of Holsteins,
known for performance in
both the milk bucket and
show ring, were scrutinized,
along with the facilities.
Welk houses and milks his
cows in a 4-row stanchion
barn.
Aside from the informal
parts of the program, there
were also talks by Associate
County Agent N. Alan Bair,
Dairy Council represen
tative, Ray Weber; and
Lancaster County’s 1976
dairy princess, Deb Kreider.
Bair tossed aside his
planned topics of discussion
and chose instead to eulogize
Rep. Jerry Litton,
Democrat from Missouri,
whom, Bair said, had done
an awful lot on behalf of
agriculture. The farmer -
politician and his family
were killed in an airplane
crash earlier this week.
Weber, a frequent visitor
to dairy field days, centered
his talk on the importance of
nutrition. “Educate yourself
so you can be a spokesman

for the dairy industry,” he
urged. He noted that farmers
know a lot about the feeding
and breeding of their
animals, but aren’t that well
versed when it comes to
nutritional knowledge about
the product they sell. In fact,
nutrition is something which
very few people knew much
about until just recent years.
In addition to his own
remarks on nutrition, Weber
also showed a film on the
subject which was produced
by the Food and Drug Ad
ministration. Titled “Read
the Label - Set a Better
Table,” the film drove home
the point which farmers
knew long ago: The diets of
their cows are much more
carefully planned than many
meals in households across
the country. Government
and private programs are
trying to change that,
however, and Weber stresses
that it’s important for
dairymen to have first-hand
knowledge of their product.
Another point made by
Weber is that there is “a
Calcium shortage in the
United States people do
not drink enough milk.” Of
evident concern to him is the
fact that U.S. high schoolers
are allowed to graduate
without at least one course in
nutrition. “If you eat poorly
now, it may not show, but it
will later,” he warned.
The County’s dairy
princess, spoke briefly on
her intentions and plans
during her reign. She said
she is aiming to carry her
message to all people
young and old alike, and is
