The month of August seems to be a logical time to take a break from the heavy duties of hay making, silo filling, and other ache and sweat jobs. Take the family to the fair! The kids are probably already starting to groom and train their 4- H and FFA calves for the annual roundup. If they haven’t started, it’s high time they did. Get out the cake of Ivory soap and the water hose, and limber up the elbows for the annual heifer scrubbing. The best leather show halter should be tried on for size, so that the calf gets acquainted with it. And maybe good old dad will R.D. No. 5, BOX 566 MANHEIM, PA. 17545 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 3,1985-825 help the younger 4-H’ers wield the clippers. Local fairs have been a tradition in rural communities for centuries. They have served as an outlet for the stress and tension from farm work, as well as a time for meeting other folks, trading information and news, and showing off the fruits of one’s labors. Fair time has a meaning far beyond fun and frolic. It provides a tune and place for learning, competing, selling of ideas and knowledge, as well as a lot of fellowship and relaxation. I remember the first time T at tended the York Fair. It was about 1923, and I was too young to have a 4-H project, but my older brother Danny had raised a pen of feeder pigs. They did quite well as a project, making satisfactory gains and reaching the required weights in the allowed time. But the thing that discouraged Danny from continuing in the pig business was the record-keeping that went with it. He kept the records all right, but the truth that they revealed was appalling. They had cost him $l5O more than they brought at the roundup sale! The show itself wasn’t too bad, but his pen came in next to last. The only lesson he could see from the whole deal was that it was extremely unprofitable, and he wanted no more of the pig business. I resolved at that time, if I ever had a fair project, it would probably be a cow rather than pigs. Not that I have anything against them personally, but like Danny, I like to see some profit for my efforts. Exhibiting your best animals, best crops, or best crafts is one way of showing the community that you are doing your share to improve the world. If you don’t like to show off your farm’s produce, the next best effort is to attend the fair and show your appreciation for your neighbors. A show is not a show unless there is someone there to applaud or quietly show their skill at judging. Spectators are just as important as the exhibitors. So, take a couple of days off this month to go to the fair. Start with your local or county fair, and then plan to top off the season by at tending Ag Progress Days at Penn State on August 20-22. Ag Progress Days are not designed so much for competition as they are for in formation and education: Field and garden research, insect control, weed science, animal health, and the even-more important high tech of com puterized farming, which is the theme of this year’s ag fair. Millions of dollars worth of new machinery can be seen in action. Maybe it will be worth while to evaluate those monsters in action. And while you are evaluating their performance, don’t forget to also evaluate the cost and returns of owning them. Sme of the most valuable time you spend at the fair or ag exhibitions this summer might be just talking to your most suc cessful neighbors. Find out how they bred the champion cow, or harvested the champion hay or silage. The most valuable secrets of sweet success are often learned from observing how your suc cessful neighbor does it. But don’t be misled by false economics. His bills must be paid too, just like yours and mme. If he is honest, his success will show that too.
