HAHRISBURG - Pinchurst
Farms. Sheboygan Kills,
Wls , capped off the two-day
Eastern National Holstein
Show by being named

Pennsylvania All-American
Dairy Show at the Farm

3,000 pound behemoth ap
proaching his eleventh birth
day, and is from the herd of
C. M. Bottema and Son,

Reflection,” was shown by
Weather-resistant
RAMIK Brown rodenticide
keeps shape, freshness, taste, potency.
Count on a long period of excellent control.
Potent treatment costs little in comparison
with loss of just a few of your trees.
What’s one of your trees worth?
What will a bushel of fruit bring?
Figure what your loss would be from just one dead
tree ... root-pruned or girdled and killed by
orchard mice (meadow voles).
The figure the application of highly effective
Ramik Brown weather-resistant rodenticide.
You’ll find Ramik well worth it!
Ramik bait Is 26% protein
As food sources diminish after harvest, meadow
voles go all out for highly palatable, apple-flavored,
mouse-sized Ramik pellets... and leave your trees
alone. Most other foods simply do not attract
rodents as high-protein Ramik does.
The quiet killer
Ramik Brown pellets contain a small amount of the
well-known anticoagulant, diphacinone ... a killing
a'gent used by professional exterminators.
Diaphacinone thins out the blood so that the vole
bleeds internally, painlessly, and dies.
Because diphacinone is in such low concentration,
the vole does not react violently. Ramik does not
“signal” its killing ingredient. Chance of bait
shyness is much lessened.
Ramik lasts long, does the job
A special patented manufacturing process helps
Ramik pellets retain shape, payability and potency.

Although dairymen from
closer to home did not have
any champioas, a number of
them placed within the top
five in various clavscs
Kingstcad Farms of
Damascus, Md , for
example, captured third
place in the junior yearling
bull class and second place
for senior yearling bulls
Their entry for aged bulls
placed third In addition, the
Maryland breeders came up
with the fourth place junior
heifer calf, third place senior
yearling heifer, and second
place junior get of sire.
Glenn H. Stoltzfus,

first in the junior heifer calf

treated for mold- and insect-resistance, weather
resistant Ramik keeps fresh over a comparatively
long period.
Get ready to bait with Ramik Brown
As it says on the label, apply Ramik pellets after
harvest and before snow. Ramik will knock down the
hungry vole population. Later, when the snow
recedes, a second application can be made to
control high density populations or the voles that
may have reinfested the vacated tunnels.
Ramik is a pesticide Handle it as you would any
other orchard chemical Never allow exposure
of bags to non-target species Do not expose
bait in small piles, or in a constncted pattern
The bait should be scattered evenly over the
orchard floor at the rate specified on the label
Reseal any unused portion of the bait and store
in a closed storage area

At the moment he works
for his father in part as a
hired man, and for himself
as a hog farmer. He has a 70-
sow farrowing operation of
his own, which he began
building last Spring. At that
time, he built a farrowing
house, and this Spring he
added a gestation house.
Kevin developed this in
terest in swine as a member
of the livestock judging
team.
“I like working with
hogs,” he explained.
“People say they are the
smartest animal on the
farm, and I believe them.
They do have their own
personalities,” he added.
His own part of the far
ming operation also includes
three steers, one of which is
his 4-H project, and his sheep
projects. To add to this, he
also has an acre of tobacco.
Some day he hopes to go
into partnership with his
father, and says he has no
intention of using the oratory
skills he learned in 4-H to go
into politics.
“I always wanted to be a
farmer,” he notes.
Did 4-H make up his mind
in this area?
“No, not really. But, 4-H
guided me, and it kept me
busy when I might not have
had anything to do,” he
notes. “It was really wor
thwhile. It was good work,”
he concludes.
