D2o—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 26,1981 Pa. Cattlemen hold field BUTLER More than 350 en thusiastic Pennsylvania cattle producers turned out recently at Rolling Ridge Farms, located near here, for the Pennsylvania Cat tlemen’s Association field day. The field day, which turned out to be slightly soggy due to the weather, was co-sponsored by the Pennsylvania Simmental Association and held at the 800- acre Simmental farm of Harold and Rose Schneider. The Schneider farm is a model of how barren stripmme land can be reclaimed and put back into production as a cattle operation. Penn State’s Lester Burdette was on hand for the day’s events to discuss proper yield grading of beef. He stressed knowledge of yield grading is important for Fire poses threat at harvest time NEWARK, Del. - Fire has been a valuable tool since the dawn of civilization, yet it also has the power to destroy, says Delaware Extension safety specialist Ronald C. Jester. "We’re often surprisingly casual about the potential dangers of fire. We smoke in bed, let electrical wiring and heating systems run down, handle flammable liquids carelessly, put off developing a fire escape plan and .... fail to equip our combines with fire ex tinguishers.” Fire is a serious matter at harvest tune. A ripe, dry crop catches fire easily and bums rapidly. The personal safety of the operator is at stake, and the combine and crop may be destroyed, stresses Jester. Proper care and operation of equipment can prevent most combine fires eliminate the cause of fires by keeping the area around the engine free of chaff, trash, and excess grease. Replace faulty mufflers and exhaust pipes. Follow maintenance recom mendations as to lubrication, adjustments, and engine tune-ups. Fire can be caused by overheating of bearings owing to lack of lubrication, or by overheating of Compare the Stoltzfus Woodwork Calf Hutch Lifting Rook for easy handling (Option) v Rear Vent (Option) Sturdy 2xl construction Treated skids exterior plywood -ft Dealers: (Calf Hutches Only) Berks County: JOE RUTH RO #4133 Fleetwood.

There were a few rays at the field day, but not from the sun. Instead, they were the rays emitted by a Sonoray electronic device demonstrated by Robert Kimble, director of the Meat Animal Evaluation Center at State College. This piece of equipment shows the amount of back! at on an animal and helps determine the yield grade through the use of sound waves. The Pennsylvania Holstein Association displayed a scale model of the proposed Penn State Ag Arena for the field day par ticipants to inspect. In a heifer show, Middletown’s Joseph Messick exhibited his entry belts owing to too much or too little tension. Keeping the engine properly tuned and tuned will prevent backfiring. Also avoid extended overloading that could result in overheating of com ponents, he recommends. When refueling, turn off the engine and do not smoke. Avoid fuel spills. During routine main tenance, check the fuel system for loose connections and leaks. Watch for and repair leaks in the fuel lines, carburetors, pumps' and filters before a machinery fire has a chance to occur. Be sure smoking materials are out before disposing of them. Caution during equipment repair is also extremely important. When using flammable materials while overhauling, degreasing or repainting, work only in a well ventilated area or outdoors. Be careful about welding and other sources of heat or sparks. Equip your combine with at least two fire extinguishers. Mount one in or just outside the cab, and another where it can be reached from the ground. A good choice would be the 2A-20 B;C rated multi-purpose dry chemical ex tlunguisher, Jester concludes.
