SYKESVILLE, Md. - This year’s tenth annual statewide sale of per formance-tested bulls has been turned into a bull preview and open house at the University of Maryland’s beef cattle research farm near Sykesville. The Saturday event is scheduled March 22, reports William A. Curry, extension Grangers decry state to furlough chaplains HARRISBURG - Charles E. Wismer, Jr., Master of thg Pennsylvania State Grange, denounced the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare’s move to permanently furlough all its institutional chaplains m Harrisburg Wednesday. “It is interesting that a Department that concerns itself with handing out dole ( money to feed the hungry poor and umernployed puts such a dollar value on the work of God,” Wismer said. The furlough of the in stitutional chaplaincy staff was accomplished as a result of a requirement by Governor Thornburgh for the Department of Welfare to divest itself of 1000 positions. As a result, the Depart ment of Welfare announced that it would be replacing its animal science specialist at the College Park campus. An informal, open-air program of talks and demonstrations will get under way at 9:30 a.m. in the corral area near the center of the research farm. About 18 bulls with good herd size prospects will be available for inspection by prospective buyers, beginning at 11 o’clock. Purchase arrangements can full-time chaplaincy staff with chaplains on a con tractual basis. Wismer, spokesman for the 48,000-member rural orgamzaion, noted the move “speak? of a curious detachment from spiritual considerations from such a charitable bureaucracy.” Criticizing the cost-cutting move, Wismer questioned how contractual chaplains could be successfully in tegrated into therapy programs. “Clergy not mtergrated into the treatment team of an institution would find it difficult to participate m therapy programs-especia lly if they are not specially trained and experienced,” he stated. The State Grange Master further pointed out that he READ LANCASTER FARMING FOR COMPLETE AND UP-TO-DATE MARKET REPORTS be made by private treaty with individual consignors. Curry notes that 27 young bulls, representing six beef cattle breeds, will have finished their 140-day feedlot trial just two days before the open house. A 112-day progress report based on February 21 weights shows one Angus bull with an average daily gam of 4.24 pounds and move believed that part-time institutional chaplains might actually be dysfunctional to the therapy goals of the hospitals. “If they are not part of the patients’ normal routine, they might be regarded with distrust, and create negative consequences in terms of long range therapy.” Modern-Day Workhorses from 1 . * ‘ Long 4-wheel drive tractors at 2-wheel drive prices.
