County Agent Thomas E.
Piper complimented the
dairymen for their personal
support of milk production.
“Dairy Princess Ann
Murren has produced radio
spot announcements which
are broadcast several times
daily from the local radio
station,” he said.
Reporting that 100 persons
had turned out for the “bam
raismg” at the Eldon Baum
farm, R.l, Abbottstown, on
Tuesday, Piper suggested
that additional assistance
would be helpful in getting
the roof in place.
Reservations for the an
nual dairy tour of Hun
tingdon County, scheduled
for Tuesday, July 8, 1980,
must be made before July
Ist so that bus transportation
can be arranged. Piper
urged the dairymen to
contact members of the
committee immediately.
