C. along with the 13 other young agriculturalists. We were preparing for a three month agricultural work study program in the Soviet Union. On June 7 we began a month long study of Soviet agriculture and Russian at the Byelorussian Agricultural Academy, one of the oldest and best agricultural academies in the country. When one of our teachers speaks no English we have no choice but to learn the language. Our agricultural lectures were usually given by department heads and assistant professors. We had many lectures on Soviet economics, agronomy, mechanization, and animal husbandry. The theory is being explained here at the academy, but the most in teresting part of the program will be seeing it applied on the farms. Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 1,1977-125 There are many similarities as well as dif ferences between the Byelorussian Agricultural Academy and my alma mater, Penn State. The most noticeable difference is size. About 5000 students are enrolled at the academy. As an undergraduate student, I was accustomed to an enrollment of 30,000 students. One of the reasons for the difference in size is that the academy prepares only agricultural specialists. Penn State offers degrees in many areas besides agriculture. Enrollment in the Penn State College of agriculture however is half the size of the enrollment of the academy. The organization of the academy is very similar to that of the college of agriculture. Each institution is divided into departments which prepare students for one of a number of different specialties. However, there is a dif ference in the time required to complete a degree. At Penn State the normal tune required to complete a degree is four years. Here students study from four and one half years to nearly five years, depending on their major. These students also receive on the job training. Not all American students York chooses 4-H royalty contestants YORK - Preliminary competition for selection of the 1977-78 York County 4-H king and queen were held Wednesday, September 21 at the 4-H Center near Bair.

Probst get this training, although it is becoming available to a larger number of students. Here less emphasis is put on animal agriculture and more emphasis placed on mechanization, drainage and irrigation, due to the need in this area for that type of improvement. Another difference that did not go unnoticed was the classes here last only 45 minutes. That is half as long as I experienced as an un dergraduate. Of course there are two sides to every coin. The students here attend classes six hours a day, six days a week, and they do not have the freedom to arrange their own schedule as I had as an undergraduate. Students here are also assigned dormitories ac cording to their major. Students with the same or similar majors live in the same dormitory. All in all it has been an interesting and rewarding experience to study in a Soviet agricultural academy. I have learned much about the system and the people of the Soviet Union. I am very eager to get to the farms where I can learn about Soviet agriculture from a different angle. I hope to share future experiences with you m coming weeks. appearance, speaking ability, poise and personality and 4-H activities. The judges for the preliminary contest were Stephanie Runkle, manager of JoAnn Fabrics, Queensgate Shopping Center; Tom Boyer, dairy farmer, Sprmg Grove; and Joan Lam berson, Extension Home Economist, York County Agricultural Extension Service. Final selection of the 4-H King and Queen will be held on Sunday, October 9th in conjunction with 4-H Achievement Day, at 2 p.m. at the 4-H Center.
