year again,” she said. “I
think ril do better this year.
My animal is typier; sbe has
grown out better and she has
done better in local shows
than before.”
Taking care of the animals
and showing them will be up
to the girls themselves as
has been the case in the past
They are independently
responsible for their
animals, and have been
accustomed to making
their own decisions all along
concerning the 4-H projects
and showing them. Although
the burden of their decisions
rests on their own youthful
shoulders, these girls have
very supportive parents who
help with transportation and
encouragement.
WHAT'S MEW
PULL—TYPE COMBINE
Massey-Ferguson will add
a new MF 751 pull-type
combine to its line of har
vesting machinery in 1978. It
offers many of the same
features as the self-propelled
MF 750 and has similar
capacity.
The MF 751 operates with
any tractor equipped with 1-
3/8 in. 1000 rpm PTO.
Controls which can be
operated from the tractor
cab include an electro
magnetic table throw-out
mechanism, elec-
tromagnetic grain tank
unloader spout control, and a
cylinder speed tachometer.
The Hi-Inertia rasp bar
cylinder with cast-iron
spiders is standard. It aids in
maintaining constant
cylinder speed and reduces
slugging problems.
A large 140 bushel grain
tank is top-front mounted
and balanced over the
wheels. Good flotation is
William Jenkins, Patti’s
and Beth’s father, drives
tank trucks for Kramme and
is often away from home
several days at a time.
“Last year I was away for
24 hours at a time for 220
days out of 365,” explained
Jenkins.
“ It was not unusual for
him to come home from
work and immediatey load
up some animals and take
them to a show,” remarked
Mrs. Jenkins.
Mrs. Jenkins is a fulltime
cafeteria and classroom aide
at an elementary school in
the Kennet district and
consequently is not able to
attend the Farm Show
either.
“We have two really good
girls, here, when it comes to
provided by 18.4 x 26,12-ply
tires which conform to new
ASAE tire standards.
The combine features a
variable speed cylinder
drive controlled by a crank
located on the right side of
the combine. Al 3 ft. pickup
table is supplied. Pickup
attachments offered include
10 foot and 12 foot drum and
draper types.
The MF 751 used the same
threshing, separating and
cleaning components as the
self-propelled MF 750. The
threshing cylinder is 50
inches wide by 22 inches in
diameter, with a choice of
narrow or wide spaced
concave types.
Sixteen states and the
District of Columbia
recorded net migration
losses between 1970 and 1976,
according to the Census
Bureau, and two states -
Rhode Island and New York
- actually lost population.
getting their animals ready
for shows,” she added. “The
first year Patti went to the
Farm Show my husband or I
were there most of the time.
This year they will be on
them own
Competing in seven dif
ferent shows this Summer
despite the hectic schedules
proves the famly’s
willingness to be involved in
the girls’ commitments to
showing their animals.
“We plan our vacations for
the fairs and shows in
mind,” explained Mrs.
Jenkins.
In addition to the busy
show schedule during the
Summer, Patti also puts in
80 hours as a candy striper at
the Coatesville hospital.
Both girls belong to the
sewing division of the
Southern Chester County
Community 4-H Club and
have entered projects last
year as well as this year at
the Farm Show in addition to
the dairy entries. Patti will
be exhibiting a grey wool
goucho and Beth will be
taking up a yellow cotton
sundress for a third year
sewing project.
Since Patti is older, she
has made some plans about
her future after graduation.
Presently she is enrolled in
the vo-tech school studying a
two-year health assistant’s

'course. She leans toward -
becoming a veterinarian's
assistant now rather than
nursing. Whether she goes
into large or small animal
veterinary work will depend
on her reactions after
clinical experience in both
areas through the vo-tech
program.
Both girls play in
struments in the high school
band. Their mother is busy
at her work as a school aide
and as a 4-H leader for “just
about everything other than
dairy,” as Janet Jenkins
puts it. The girls give their
club leader Leon Wilkinson
much credit for the success
they have bad and the
training they have put into
practice in the show ring.
The Jenkins have Datuea a
flooded show at the state All-
American, hauled animals
home from the Farm Show
during a snowstorm, cared
for very sick animals, taken
special steps to-time work
with shows and managed to
provide the support needed
by Patti and Beth to continue
their 4-H dairy projects.
Mom may have to work all
week; dad may be driving a
truck in Louisiana; it may
flood, or it may snow, but
Patti and Beth Jenkins are
looking forward to the 1978
Farm Show and its
challenges.
