York
activities
YORK - To promote both
safety and skill for today’s
young farmers, the York
Fair annually sponsors a
tractor driving contest for 4-
H and FFA members. This
year the contest will be held
on Thursday of the coming
week.
All contestants must be 16
years of age by the opening
of the Fair and have a valid
safe tractor operator cer
tificate. The contest is
divided into three parts: A
written examination of 50
questions; a troubleshooting
examination on a tractor;
and tractor driving and
equipment handling course.
4-H and FFA members will
be judged together but prizes
will be awarded separately.
Prizes for both groups will be
$25 for first place, $l5 for
second, $lO for third and
fourth, and $5 for fifth
through last place.
Also, probable exhibitors
and judges for the livestock
division of the 1976 York Fair
have just been announced by
M. Ebert Rutter, Fair
manager.
In the dairy animal
category, 408 entries will be
judged by Creedln G. Gorn-
Hendrik Wentink, a
Pennsylvania egg farmer
and a member of the
National Egg Board, says:
“When you spend a good part
of your life with chickens as I
have - raising them,
worrying about them when
they’re not producing or
sick, and watching the poor
devils die - you get to know
them. I think they’re im
portant economically but I
also see them as my
friends.”

Pcnnfield's president,
Robert B Grayblll, offered a
luncheon at the Three
Crowns Restaurant in
lancastcr for the Chinese
engineers, teachers and
“Governments of all the
Midcast nations arc using
petrodollars to upgrade the
diets of their people,”
Michaelson said "Poultry
production is booming, fats
and oils consumption is
expanding and people arc
demanding more protein in
their diets. All these factors
point to greater op
portunities for soybean
products.”
Michaelson also pointed
out that Spain, with its
rapidly expanding pork and
poultry production, is now
the second most important
soybean crushing country in
Europe.
Initial ASA activities in the
Mideast, he said, were
planned to increase use of
soybean meal. A series of
poultry feeding seminars
was conducted there during
June to kick off the Mideast
program.
