Champion Holstein at Solanco belongs to Welk
By JOANNESPAHR
QUARRYVILLE - They
kept it all in the family last
Thursday, when Paul Welk
of Welk-Crest Farm, Peach
Bottom Rl, beat the five
year winning streak of his
cousin Maurice Welk,
Quarryville R 2, in the open
Holstein show at the
Southern Lancaster County
Community Fair. Paul Welk
walked away with the grand
champion and senior
champion of the show.
Maurice Welk, however,
didn’t slip too far behind in
his winnings, coming up with
the reserve grand champion
and reserve senior cham
pion.
Paul Welk’s six-year-old
daughter of Simpon Farm
Tidy Gent, classified “88
Very Good” swayed the
judging in her direction with
her udder, judged best udder
of the show. Judge John
Smith, York County Ex
tension agent, remarked
about her dairy character.
Up to this point the
champion Rock Hall Tidy
Diane has a production
record of 17,825 pounds of
milk and 727 pounds of fat.
She was- bred by Homer B.
Readinger, Fleetwood. Pa.
According to Welk, who
hasn’t shown animals in 12
years since 4-H, his aged cow
was never shown before. She
wouldn’t have been shown
this year, either, if it hadn’t
been for the urging of Welk’s
son.
“We didn’t think we could
get her to lead, but we
worked about three weeks
and were finally able to,”
Welk explained. Welk will
probably continue his
showing in the upcoming
years.

champion animal,

Bottom, with the grand champion.
WHAT'S NEW
A
communications device
connecting a weather
research aircraft with a
satellite 22,Mtaailes (35,400
kilometers >4Bpace is ready
to provide near in
stantaneous 1 information
about the. -,yowth and
movement'HpjlUTicanes in
of over 16,000 pounds of milk
and 575 butterfat and a
projected record of 20,000 of
milk as a three-year-old, was
recently purchased by her
owner Maurice Welk. Welk
recently started a whole new
herd following a dispersal
sale on June 3. The animal’s
sire was Skokie Headliner

dam with ' a production
record of 22,000 pounds of
milk, 860 pounds of butterfat.
Miss Akers’ junior calf,
Solanco Acres Jet Stream
Peggy, a daughter of Arlinda
Jet Stream, is Miss Akers’ 4-
H project for the Lancaster
County 4-H Holstein Dairy
Club. The animal was bred
by Curtis Akers and raised
by Nancy since a calf. Along
with her champion winnings,
Miss Akers was also the
champion showman of the
junior show.
In the junior division show,
Douglas Hershberger,
Quarryville R 4, showed his
junior yearling to the
reserve grand champion
title. “Zion Meadows Astra

Akers both belong to the
same 4-H club, where
Hershberger is a six year
member.
All tolled, 57 animals were
entered in the shows with the
following results:
the Carnbean and South
Atlantic.
The device, in effect, is an
airborne data collection
platform which utilizes the
data collection capabilities
of NOAA’s GOES-2 satellite.
A somewhat similar piece of
equipment, still in the
research stage, is in daily
use aboard a Pan American

Even though there had
been no Atlantic hurricanes
until the end of August, the
device has been tested under
actual flight conditions
during reconnaisance of a

are to install similar tran

both P-3 planes - next year.
