Holsteins became aquainted with
the Ivy cow when she was a 3-year
old and carried an 86-point score
for Jefferson County fanner John
Parks, who was trying to sell the
young cow.
"1 showed her to a number of
people for John Parks. 1 ; finally
bought half interest in her,
myself,” Dobenener recalled.
Parks admitted that part
ownership deals are not the ex
ception but rather the rule with
many of his Parkacres Holsteins.
“We don’t- have excellent
facilities to give this type of cow
the individual attention she;
deserves," Parks noted. ,
“But 1 do get satisfaction from
breeding this type of cow," he
added.

LANCASTER - This year
marks the 39th observance of
NationaLFann Safety Week.
So important is this practice to
the health and well-being of
America's fanners that -the
president of the United Stales
decided to play his part too.
President Reagan has signed, a
proclamation making this week s
time for nation-wide emphasis on
farm safety activities. v
Toward this same end," Lan
caster Fanning has dedicated this
week’s issue to the safety
measures all conscientious far
mers should practice to protect
themselves and their loved ones on
the farm. In brief, these practices
are: obey safety rules, avoid short
cuts, practice good housekeeping,
be alert and wear protective
clothing.
This year’s theme, "Make it a

According to recent National
.Safety Council - estimates, farm
work accidents resulted in ap
proximately 1,900 deaths and
190,000 disabling injuries in 1981
(including both farm and non-farm
residents), a reduction of only five
percent from 1980 figures. This
makes a reduction of 11 percent
from 1971.
While difficult jobs and adverse
conditions are part of farming,
they should not be used as an ex
cuse for poor safety performance.
