Egg Cholesterol
(Continued from Page At)
ress Day here last week, McCha
ren said that it looks like new facts
will show there’s no reason for the
general public to restrict egg con
sumption because of cholesterol.
While the standard of 300 milli
grams of cholesterol per large egg
has been the standard, McCharen
expects the new figures to come in
at about 240 milligrams. At that
level, even a treatment diet for
high blood cholesterol will allow
three egg yokes per week. Some of
the reason for the optimism has
been the recent tests by the Pen
nsylvania Department of Agricul
ture to confirm or disprove claims
of low cholesterol in eggs from
Lancaster County producers.
“We’ve known for a long time
that the USDA data was based on
weak research done in the 19405.
Now not only has the analytical
chemistry changed, so has the egg
industry. In fact, there’s no basis
for the quantitive recommenda
tions for dietary cholesterol. It’s
intuitive,” McCharen said.
For some reason 300 milligrams
per day was picked and everyone
started to repeat the figure.
McCharen said the Egg Nutrition
Center works with health profes
sionals in nutrition education,
works in supermarket on consumer
education, works with media rela
tions, and conducts research.
When the final figures are in,
McCharen said she believes they
will have a new major news story.

Dick Yule has practiced a life
long method of improving his
work and making life interesting.
He sets goals. When he attains one,
long session, Mitchell Woodward,
Nutrition Management Specialist,
said excess manure management is
something we are going to con
tinue to be faced with if we are
going to farm as we have in the
past. Woodward said profitability
and safety were two major con
cerns. He discussed the farm nutri
ent management plan that uses
computer programs developed by
Penn State University to help
balance the more nutrients with
crop needs. “That’s really how we
are going to control the excess
problem,” Woodward said.
Woodward said that over 70%
of the soil tests that come from
Lancaster County have excessive
nutrients. As the nutrient level
increases, Woodward said the pos
sibility of the profitable response
to fertilizer application decreases
and the possibility of ground water
contamination increases.
Dr. Hugh Johnson, Director of
Poultry Department, American
Farm Bureau Federation, dis
cussed the animal welfare move
ment and said the group wants to
eliminate animals from food,
research and pleasure. Johnson
listed the media, legislative action
and the legal defense fund as
methods this group uses to oppose
agricultural animal programs.

ress Day was sponsored by the

The
Silage
Maker
When he was in fifth grade, he
skipped school one day, rode his
bicycle 14 miles to a cattle sale
where he bought a registered heifer
with his savings. He led (or tried to
lead) the heifer home behind his
bicycle. The task was not an easy
one and he was spotted by a state
trooper. The trooper made a call to
Dick’s home to an unsuspecting
mother not aware of her son’s
“school day” activities. His
mother’s wrath was properly
administered, but the calf was
bought and taken home to his resi
dence which at that time was no
longer in a farm setting. The only
shelter available was the garage.
The heifer created a whole new
family life for Dick and his
parents. Weekend trips were made
without Dick who had to stay
home to care for his stock. But, he
showed the calf and purchased
other calves. Eventually, he had
acquired five head in the garage.
When he reached age 13, he got a
job on a farm, took his small herd
with him and made the farm his
home until he got married. This
was 1962. His small herd had
grown to eleven. He bought an
additional 30 head and he and his
new wife Virginia went into farm
ing. That was 26 years and seven
children ago.

The Yule children have helped
on the farm as they were growing
up, but only 16 yr. old Dan works
on the farm at present. One other of
the children, Dottie, has gone into
farming with her husband in West
Winfield, N.Y.
Darline, 10, and Daphne (both at
home) are in 4-H. Both showed
calves at the 1978 Bloomsburg
Fair. Darline was first in Class and
2nd in open for Sr. calf. Daphne
was 2nd in class for yearling.
Dave Yule is working locally
and Diane just finished college
majoring in die field of human ser
vices. Another daughter, Debbie
has remained in New York with
her family.
The Yules travel all over Pen

Asso. Conventions. Dick acts as
advisor to this group. There are
nearly 1800 members statewide.
The Yules have been very active
with young people. They were 4-H
leaders for four years prior to this
recent advisory post.

Along with son Dan, the two can
manage the farm on occasions
when Dick and Virginia attend
conventions and other related
meetings which may take them
away for several days.
With all the pressing duties Dick
and Virginia seem to accomplish,
they also find time for hobbies.
Each winter Dick tries to make
some piece of furniture for the
house. Last year it was a chary
comer cupboard. This winter he’s
waking on a pair of oak end
tables. Virginia enjoys wooden
craft construction. She also paints.
One of her attractive pieces hangs
in her kitchen, a scene of the Yules
farm reproduced on a replica of a
cross cut saw.
Dick has already set his next
goal - to have a 1988 Progress
Breeders Award added to his
bronze plaque. If past experience
has any value in attaining this
award or in the effort put forth to
ward that end, the dairy industry
can only benefit from Yules Pride
Farm’s dedication.
