HARRISBURG
Agriculture Secretary Kent
D. Shelhaxner has announce!
that Pennsylvania’s second
performance test ram sale
will be held on June 3 at the
Agriculture Department’s
Meat Animal Evaluation
Center, University Park, at 2
p.m.
Shelhamer said that prior
to 1970, too much emphasis
was placed on breed
characteristics, style, head,
ears, and color instead of
growth, the amount of retail
cuts, or the composition of
weight gain in sheep.
“Learning from the past,”
WHAT'S MEW
TRUCK BUMPER
A unique truck bumper
that also serves as an air
tank, stabilizer, traction
booster and quick hitch is
being built by Wadler
Manufacturing Co. of
Galena, Kans.
Called Super Bumper, it
comes in sporty chrome
models, or painted versions
for the more economy
minded. It will fit the front or
rear of anj major brand
pick-up track, four-wheel
drive vehicle or van, says
the company
Super Bumper is six in
ches square and made of
thickwall, heavy-duty steel.
The product’s most
unusual feature is its air
tank. Holding 12 gallons of
air at 150 PSI, the bumper
delivers enough air to ac
complish several jobs
ranging from pressurizing
water systems on
recreational vehicles to
inflating flat tires.
An accessory vacuum
pump provides the bumper
with a constant and
automatic air supply. It
mounts directly mto a
vehicle’s vacuum system
and comes with a dash
mounted gauge.
A quick hitch and lighted
license plate bracket are
standard on each bumper.
Removal of a single pin
permits a four-inch height
adjustment to the Class EH
hitch.
Super Bumper weighs 160
pounds. In the customary
rear-mounted position it
boosts traction by the ap-

Shelhamer said, “we know
that major emphasis must
be placed on traits of major
economic importance such
as growth, composition of
weight gain, and carcass
desirability.”
“A breeder must provide
profitable sheep to the
commercial farmer. He can
only improve his sheep as
rapidly as purebred
breeders improve the
quality and performance of
the rams they offer for
sale,” he said.
“Commercial sheepmen
and breeders,” said the
agriculture secretary,
“should be willing to pay
proximate equivalent of 400
pounds of dead-weight over a
vehicle’s axle.
The bumper does a sur
prising job m stabilizing the
handling and ride charac
teristics of any vehicle,
according to Wadler of
ficials. Even weight
distribution and extended
load area are key factors m
this.
The bumpers will retail in
the range of $l5O to $2BO. For
