WOULD YOU LIKE A TEMP-MATIC' SOLID STATE RECORDER/CONTROLLER IN YOUR MILK HOUSE? Features: Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 15,19*0—A17 Letters To The Editor Dear Editor: I would respectfully ask for the opportunty to com ment on some of the statements in your March 1 issue, on the Expo tractor pull. I personally an aware of four large tractor pulling sleds within the state, with the Franklin County sled being one of the three larger, three-axle types. The sled which was designed and contracted for by our club in late 1975 was, to our knowledge, the very first of this type built anywhere in the world. We are naturally very proud of that fact— especially since it embodies many innovations new to sled building at that time. Some of these features are now in fact required of all sleds used at National Tractor Pulling Association pulls. I do not concede that any of these three-axle sleds is superior to any other, since dimensions, weights, etc., are all relatively similar. For instance, while we cannot get the skid on our sled to float in the air a garden tractor did make a full pull with it at the 1377 Gratz fair. The sled was not transferring weight, ob viously, and another tractor nudged the sled to start it rolling. Total weight of the sled is over 58,000 pounds; maximum transfer to skidplate is 42,500 pounds. I know of three other sleds of this type here in the Eastern part of the nation, but out side Pennsylvania. Our club was particularly happy to see stock tractors pulling at Expo ‘BO, as we proposed the first stock rules to our state pulling association. Incidentally, two of the three classes were won by our members. Respectfully, Eugene Sellers, Northeast Pa. Tractor Pulling Club Trout Run Dear Editor: As you may know the National Beef Research and Educational Act has failed to achieve an affimutive vote. On a State and National basis the majority of voters failed to approve the Beeferendum effort. However, the industry debate did bnng to the fore front issues that are a challenge to cattle producers and to consumers. Con sumers are spending a smaller percentage of their income on Beef than ever before. The debate high lighted such problems as “Beef causes cancer”, “Beef causes heart disease”, and the increasing use of Beef substitutes. The Beeferendum effort helped the consumer benefit from more information on the nutritional value of beef and more facts countering the food faddist push of the vegetarian craze. The farmer-producer gained needed information on the extremes of the cattle cycle and new ways to expand his market. For the industry these needs are immediate and the Beeferendum effort may have sown “seeds of ideas” for a future harvest. To those who helped with their time, energy, and finances, Isay, “thankyou.” The Pennsylvania cattle industry owes you a debt of gratitude. To those who felt it necessary to distort facts and promote misleading suggestions, I am sure their lives and businesses will reap the implications of their efforts. To one and all of my fellow cattle producers I offer my hand in friendship and trust our trails will cross many times as we strive to im prove our industry together. H.H.
