Standing 14 inches in height, this week old foal was a new arrival to the
Marshall Jones farm, Westtown, Pa. The mother to this black youngster with
the white nose was a Sicilian donkey which stands about 40 inches in height.
Sicilians are noted for their grey coloring with a black cross over their shoulders
and down their backs. All totaled, Jones’ wife owns two donkey mares, two year
and-a-half old colts, two foals, and one jack. She has hopes for breaking the
colts for carriage driving.
Calf hutches was the topic at a recent Garden Spot Young Farmers dairy
management meeting. Included in the program were slides of different
operations, a talk on dairy health by a veterianarian, and inspection of a calf
hutch brought in for the meeting.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 26,1977
Nat. Grange resolutions decided
GREENSBORO,N.C. -
National Grange delegates
passed a resolution last week
regarding proposed USDA
set-aside regulations in the
new farm bill. The farm
organization called for the
regulations to be written to
permit grazing of set-aside
land at the same time as
other crop land is grazed and
that livestock be removed
from set-aside acreage when
they are normally removed
from crop acreage. The
delegates said the current
regulations restrict the use
of this acreage so that
normal grazing would
require expensive tem
poraryfencing.
The delgates sent a
telegram to the Senate
Agriculture Committee in
support of providing all-risk,
all-county and all-producer
crop insurance. In addition,
they recommended _ the
Commodity Credit Cor
poration charter be
amended to provide
adequate funding flexibility,
and that provisions be made
for farmer-elected com
mittee program ad
ministration, government
cost-sharing of premium and
administrative costs of at
least the current net ex
penditure level, individual
farmer cost of production
coverage based on the
farmer’s own production
record, and offer op
portunities for private in
surance carriers to par
ticipate in federal crop in
surance where feasible.
The delegates also voted to
support the following:
Legislation which would
require the reporting and
publicizing of foreign in
vestments in agricultural
land; establishment of
cooperative processing and
marketing facilities for all
agricultural products;
changes in the disaster loan
program that would permit
repayment privileges up to
10 years and with a provision
for repayment mortatorium
when conditions justify;
adequate funding for
Agriculture Cooperative
Extension Service.
The Grangers also took
action on resolutions to
oppose any land purchase
programs that mvolve the
government as the pur
chaser and lessor of far
mlands; any action that
would modify the Capper-
Volstead Act; and the ex
pansion of services by the
Farmers Home Ad
ministration and Farm Cedit
Administration into other
lines of financing, until
agricultural needs are met.
