—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 24,1977 18 Dairy clubs consider new approach CHAMBERSBURG - Franklin County dairy clubs are currently debating an idea which would mean withdrawing the County’s 4- H dairy roundups from the County Fair and having it earlier in the Summer in conjunction with other 4-H roundups of all sorts. It’s thought that this idea will open up “many possibilities” for expanding time and bam space from Monday to Wednesday of Fair Week. (The Franklin County Fair this year was held from Aug. 21-17.) According to reports submitted during a direc tors’ meeting of the Franklin County 4-H Dairy Council on Sept. 13, it’s also believed that the proposed move will allow Guernsey exhibitors more tune to “get settled in and ready for their show.” Also, other kinds of livestock could be housed and shown on an open and 4-H basis as the Guernsey and Holstein shows are held. There could be goats, sheep, swine, rabbits, and poultry. The 4-H roundups could be a two to three day com bination of all the roundups that would agree to combine time, space, and forces.

Yet, piranhas are wonderful parents to their young. The females lay their eggs on aquatic vegetation. The males fetilize the eggs and then stay in the neigh borhood while the hundreds of eggs hatch. No passing fish would dare to snack on baby piranhas with papa piranhas hanging around. NEW IDEA 95 BU. GROUND DRIVEN SPREADERS For Shipment Soon. Limited Supply. Order Yours Today.

There are many new 4- H projects in Franklin County, and many that have never really been presented to the public. Some reasons to keep the Dairy Roundup in the fair were that the animals would have to be readied, trucked, and stayed with two separate weeks instead of one, and the beef and swine roundups are now being held at auction bams to take advantage of commercial buyers. Final decision will be withheld until further discussion. President Roy Crodell asked for discussion about the county’s 4-H dairy-calf sale. The sale, to date, has been open only to 4-H’ers, FFA members, and junior dairy breed members from age 8 to 21, residing in Franlkin County. They must each bid on the calf they wish, to purchase for a project. The object is to teach them how to follow an auctioneer, use a sale catalog, bid properly, and know the value of individual calves, based upon type and pedigree. A decision was made to have the sale again Human nature has its ups and downs, as everyone knows. But using a theory known as biorhythms you may be able to plot your highs and lows accurately. When you’re low - physically, emotionally or intellectually - you tend to feel fatigued, depressed, and slow-witted. Some of these days are called “crisis days” - when you should be particularly alert. Ac cording to its proponents, a biorhythm chart can pin point the days when you should be especially careful. 206 New idea Spreader Available SPECIAL PRICE 1305 Manheim Pike, Lancaster, PA 17601 PH : 717-393-3906 this year and keep the rules the same.
