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.
Without the commercialism
of a midway, 4-H’ers’ at-
The deadly piranha fish of
the Amazon’s waters can
turn man or beast to bones
with its deadly jaws and
razor-sharp teeth. 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.

tention would be focused on
their own projects and many
other interesting ones that
they can observe and leam
from. 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.
