says Welsh, a recent high
school graduate who is
currently working full time
on his father’s dairy farm. “I
have learned that it costs
just as much to raise a poor
herd replacement as it does
to raise a good one,” he said.
In his own herd, the young
winner has 14 Holsteins, four
Brown Swiss and two Ayr
shires. He has been ex
perimenting with, calf hut
ches, a relatively new idea
which he says has proved
very worthwhile in his own
operation. He started out by
building two hutches and
now has 16.'
Welsh has prepared a 4-H
demonstration on the use of
hutches, which he has given
to many clubs both within
and ouiside of York County.
With the demonstration he
won an award two years ago.
He plans to go to college
and major in animal science
before settling down with his
own fanning operation.

The York County girl said
that one reason she likes to
preserve her own food is
because of “all the con
troversy over food ad
ditivies.” She added, “I like
to'know what is in my food.
Doing it myself assures me
of what I’m eating.”
The eight-year 4-H’er said
that drying foods, one of the
first preservation methods
used, “fascinates me” and
this is one reason she
decided to put together a
booklet on it.
She also put together an 11-
page project book for other
4-H’ers to use in drying food
in their food preservation
projects. Among the foods
she has dried are apples,
onions, peaches, green
beans, and carrots.
Miss Palmer also has done
extensive canning and
freezing in her project. She
had members bring their

pressure bookers in for

foods would be processed at
the correct temperature of
240 degrees.
Miss Palmer served as a
junior leader, assisting
younger 4-H members with
their food preservation
projects.
Her other 4-H projects
have included clothing,
health and home en
vironment.
THOMASPERRY
Monroe County
A 16-year-old Penn l
sylvania youth, who planted
marigolds among vegetables
to deter insects, L. Thomas
Perry Jr., Stroudsburg,
received a $l,OOO scholarship
at the 57th National 4-H
Congress in Chicago.
Perry, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Lowell T. Perry, is a high
school junior and plans a
career in bio-chemical
research.
The Monroe County youth
learned that marigolds
would deter insects away
from vegetables while
studying how to control

insects through both
chemical and organic
methods.
Because the youth found
pulling weeds was the most
unpleasant aspect of
vegetable gardening, he
learned to mulch for weed
control. Then the youth
began a compost pile and
learned how to turn wastes
into rich organic material to
add to the garden soil.
The 4-H’er said that he
kept financial records, he
could see the advantages of
growing your own
vegetables. “I believe most
people accept that
vegetables you grow
yourself are more nutritious,
but they are also cheaper,”
he said. “My family and I
canned and froze excess
vegetables and many
Winters we bought only a
few vegetables from the
grocery store to supplement
our supply.”
The youth also became
interested in vegetable
judging and organized a
judging team that won first
place in state competition in
1976.
Perry’s other projects
have included leadership,
poultry, citizenship, wildlife,
bicycle, and crafts.

Although she has been in
the 4-H horse program for
the last seven years. Miss
Long considers that her real
involvement began two
years ago when she acquired
her gelding, “Blue,” as a
weanling. She has been
training him ever since and
last year placed first in the
yearling class at the Penn
sylvania 4-H Horse
Production Show.
This year the Cumberland
County winner entered Blue
in the county 4-H roundup.
Her horse placed second in
showmanship and first in
grooming. The winner
considered winning the
grooming award a real
challenge since her mount is
“90 per cent white.”
From there, horse and
rider went on to win fourth in
a performance class with 30
contestants riding.
“These last two years
have been really satisfying.
Being able to grow up with a
horse for two years and then
breaking him to ride I feel is

a big accomplishment, Miss
Long says.
“Through years of
working with horses I have
learned much by just wat
ching and listening. I enjoy
what I do and I put a great
deal of time and effort into it.
I have shown a lot of
production stock. I really
enjoy Working with young
horses and brood mares,”
she continues.
Last year the winner was a
member of the county horse
judging team that won the
state contest. The award
carried with it the honor of
representing Pennsylvania
at the Quarter Horse
Congress in Ohio, the
National Arabian Horse
Show and the Keystone
Horse Judging Contest.
“As I pursue a career in
business, I still will never

my career becomes, horses
will always be my second
