HARRISBURG - Increased
parking fees to finance higher
premiums have been approved by
the Pennsylvania Farm Show
Commission.
Farm Show parking will now
cost $2.00 per car.
In approving the doubling of the

specified that much of the in
creased revenues be devoted to
hiking premiums at the show.
Premiums were increased 15
percent across the board by the
Commission, with an additional
adjustment for beef cattle and
maple symp.
The premiums for beef cattle
will be put on a par with those of
dairy cattle and the maple syrup
premiums will be brought more m
line with those of honey.
The Commission also took other
action concerning various classes
of judging and other phases of
competition conducted at the
Farm Show.

Premium List Committee, include
60 Belgians, 30 Percherons and 10
Clydesdales. It was also recom
mended that the responsibility for
the horse pulling contest remain
with the pulling committee and the
