Egyptians visit U.S. farms BY KIMBERLY HERR WILLOW STREET - J. Mowery Frey Jr.’s Fultonway Farm, Willow Street, served as one of the model farms for Egyptian visitors during last Friday’s tour. The visitors represented various banks and the Egyptian Depart ment of Agriculture, as well as some Egyptian news media. The group was also representing the Principal Bank for Development and Agriculture Credit, which is the sole source of credit for Egyptian farmers. Their U.S. host was the Agricultural Cooperative Development Intemationl (ACDI), in Washington, D.C. Genetic base change FREDERICK, Md.

On Friday, the men visited Atlantic Breeders Cooperative, Willow Valley Restaurant, where milk and fat, according to Dr. Frank Dickinson, Chief of the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory, and one of the major acrhitects of the sire summaries. Also, they will see a lot of cows with negative Cow Indexes. The average index for a Holstein female after the base change will, be a -388, Dickinson said, and only 20 percent of the breed’s cows will have positive Cow Index values. “The increased P.D.’s are a sign they ate lunch, Frey’s farm and the Lancaster headquarters of Farm Credit Service. According to one of the tour participants, the most intriguing aspect of Friday was the work being conducted by Atlantic Breeders in artificial in semination. The Egyptian visitors arrived in the United States Oct. 31 and they will remain here until Nov. 16. After visiting Frey’s farm Friday, the group was heading to Baltimore, Md., and then on to Washington D.C. for some sight seeing. explained increase in the new sire sum maries. Of course, the changes will vary from breed to breed, reflecting the genetic progress breeders have made since the last base was established in 1974. The average P.D. of Ayrshire bulls will drop only 637 pounds, the least among the five major dairy breeds. By contrast, Brown Swiss breeders have made the most progress, whereas, P.D.’s of their bulls will decline 1094 pounds, Dickinson said. And in the Holstein breed, P.D.’s will decline by 978 pounds of milk and 28 pounds of fat. For example, a +2OOO pound Holstein bull changes to +1022. The adjustment is pure arithmetic. The bulls have not changed, only the numbers. Differences between bulls (their ranking) will remain the same. Dickinson left them with this suggestion, “Go home and cull your semen tanks to get the low P.D. bulls out of there, so you as a dairyman, will raise your genetic progress and growth.” License revoked DOVER, Del.

The license of Dallas Veal, owner of All-Right Termite Control in Milford, Delaware, was ter minated after Department of Agriculture inspectors learned Veal had used the pesticide Chlordane inconsistent with the label instructions.
