JCB Telescopic and

give you more
versatility, more cost
effectiveness than
articulated loaders or
rough terrain forklifts.
At a base price of only
$29,500 no single machine
comes close to a JCB LOAOALL for productivity.
There’s a wide range of hydraulically-powered,
quick-change agricultural attachments. Choose
from buckets up to 2Vz cu. yds. for bulk materials;
special clamps for bales; silage and manure forks;
and forks for palletized loads of feed and fertilizer.
Both machines come with 2 or 4-wheel drive for
greater traction and mobility. Whichever you choose,
you won’t find a better value for

When these classes were com
pleted for all five divisions a
blocking contest was held to
determine a champion fitter.
Judging the show was Richard
Kuzemcbak, shepherd at Penn
State. Chairpeople of the 4-H Sheep
were Tom and Barb Griggs of R 1
Hartstown.
Mrs. Griggs mentioned that a
blocking contest had not been held
for a few years at the fair. She
decided to initiate it once again as
"this is what they do in
Harrisburg” and she wants the 4-
H’ers to know what they're doing
when they reach the state level.
It seems that the blocking
contest is a ‘true test’ of the 4-H
members ability to clip a lamb for
show. Each individual is assigned
a lamb, straight from the pasture
and given 45 minutes to car and
clip. When the time is up they are
judged on the job they’ve done. No
outside help is allowed for this
contest.
Although this takes a bit longer
and is optional lor the sheep
showers, almost everyone par

way to become Champion Fitter or
