monwealth competing.
Approximately 400 con

Lancaster County Agent,
Jay W. Irwin said that
classes in the state contest
gave members an op
portunity to display their
skills m horsemanship and
ability to groom a horse for
showing.
He reports the primary
purposes of the State 4-H
Horse program are to
develop riding skills; gain
self-confidence by com
peting in shows; receiving
training in leadership and
citizenship;and learn the
meaning of responsibility by
caring for an animal.

report which will be made
public on February 2nd.
Farmers are urged to
cooperate with the Crop
Reporting Service by
providing the requested
information. The national
estimates to come out of the
survey can play a valuable
role in helping farmers
decide how to respond to the
current demand and supply
situation. Should they plant
more or less, expand or hold
even in livestock operations,
or perhaps is it wise to sell
inventories now or hang on to
them? ... all these are
questions which are key to
the 1977 decisions farmers
must make.

JESUS ANSWERS JOHN’S DISCIPLES
And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the
multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the
wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
But what went ye out for to see 9 A man clothed in soft
raiment 9 Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in the
kings’ houses
But what went ye out for to see 9 A prophet 9 yea, I
say unto you, and more than a prophet
For this ts he, of whom it is written. Behold, I send a
messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way
before thee
