Many bring with them their prize animals, crops or exhibit in hopes of going home a grand prize winner. Ever since the first Farm Show in 1917 which had 40 boys com peting in a corn and potato judging contest, the Farm Show has been a growing educational experience for young people. By 1922, boys were striving for medals and silver loving cups in dairy cattle, swine, corn and potato judging contests. The Awards were given by State Department of Instruction of ficials. A new era in Farm Show youth competition came in 1926 when Francis Murren of Hanover took home 9266.60 for his Baby Beef Grand Champion. The 1,066-pound steer was sold at auction for 25 cents per pound, marking the beginning of Farm Show Junior Livestock Sales. Today, many Pennsylvania meat firms have given outstanding support to the Junior Livestock Market Sales. The 4-H competitions have grown quite a bit since their beginnings in 1924, too. Today, 4-H competition is in full swing with entries in competitions for lambs, beef, dairy cattle, entomology exhibits, tobacco, eggs, dressed turkeys, capons, honey, com, ch«w>n hwking and grooming, homeeconomics, safe tractor driving and potato judging. Future Farmers of America and Future Homemakers of America were initiated to the Farm Show in 1926, with exhibits that were displayed during the show. FFA members now compete in ac tivities such as dairy cattle, swine, small grains, potatoes, tobacco, vegetables, apiary products, eggs and poultry competitions. In the beginning years, these competitions were limited to the boys only, but with changing at titudes about women came more and more women competitors in traditional “male” categories. The dream of every Farm Show youth competitor is to take home “the prize.” These youngsters work all year with unseen dedication just to reach the Farm Show. Their work is rewarded in the end whether they win or not, through the thrill of competing with other young people. All those who compete leave the Farm Show with something special to remember the event. Last year the Farm Show Commission dedicated one night to benefit our farm youth. This year, once again. Farm Show holds a Farm Youth Benefit Night Concert starring Jercy Reed and Bill Anderson, with all proceeds going to improvement of facilities at the complex for our farm youth.
