Twix Jerseys capture District II championships
BY GINGER S. MYERS
SHIPPENSBURG - The perfect
combination of great weather,
outstanding Jersey cattle, and
dairy-farmer camaraderie all
came together recently at the
Pennsylvania District II Jersey
Show, held in conjunction with the
Shippensburg Community Fair.
Over 100 head of Jersey cattle,
representing 14 exhibitors, were
paraded before James McCaffree,
Delta, official judge for the show,
which was co-sponsored by the fair
and the Cumberland Valley Jersey
Breeders Association.
While no single exhibitor
dominated the show, Twix Jerseys,
owned by Dennis Hardy and
family, Petersburg, could boast of
capturing the most champion
rosettes.
Leading out the grand champion
of both the open and 4-H shows was
Jerome Hardy, with his senior two
year-old, T.K. Saint Lily. Lily was
praised by the judge as being the
most balanced cow in the show and
was designated to receive the
show’s best udder award.
This outstanding daughter of
Favorite Saint is projected to
produce over 15,000 pounds of milk
actual in 305 days.
Jerome’s brother, James, also
collected his share of winnings for
leading out both the junior

champion in the open and 4-H
shows and the grand champion of
the FFA show.
Capturing the junior champion
title for the second year in a row
was the winner of the senior
yearling class, Tee Pee Justin
Bella.
Designated grand champion of
the FFA show was G. R. Elan EL
Princess Betty Dramer, winner in
that division of the three-year-old
class.
Keeping it all in the family,
Janice Hardy showed the reserve
grand champion in 4-H competition
with her five year old, Girk Earl
Lisa.
Filling in the reserve grand
champion slot was Faithful Ad
vancer Colleen, shown by Mar-De
Farms, Newville. Colleen strikes a
chord of recognition with most
Pennsylvania Jersey breeders,
having been grand champion in
previous years at the Farm Show
and in Louisville.
Mar-De Farms, combining the
wins of Marilyn Zinn and her
sister, Mary Ellen Deaven,
received the banner for premier
exhibitor of the show.
The premier breeder banner was
captured by another familiar
show-winning family Pleasant
Valley Jerseys, owned by the
Lester Martin family, Cham-
bersburg. On the strength of
having paraded out the show’s
reserve junior champion, Belles
Morning Glory, and five second
place wins, the Martins collected
enough points to win this coveted
award, which was sponsored by
the Cumberland Valley Jersey
Breeders Association.
Following are the individual
class winners.

Block said he authorized the
Stabilization Corporation to offer
buyers of this year’s crop a 10
cents per pound rebate from the
no-net-cost tobacco fund at the
beginning of the marketing season.
The 10-cent rebate will further
reduce the effective 1985 loan rate
to $1.55 per pound.
Another rebate of 13 cents per
pound has been authorized to be
paid at the end of the marketing
season on all purchases if during
the season buyers have purchased
at least 650 million pounds of the
1985 flue-cured crop and, subject to
prices and conditions to be made
available to buyers by the
Stabilization Corporation, at least
125 million pounds of the 1976-1984
flue-cured inventory.

Secretary Block said he intends
to keep the tobacco program
operating at no-net-cost to tax
payers but wishes to be flexible in
carrying out this principle and will
work with the tobacco industry to
keep the no-net-cost fund sound.
He said also that while he is
willing to offer these concessions
announced today, he at the same
time expects everyone in the
tobacco industry to do their part to
ensure a successful 1985 flue-cured
sale.
