of a feeling the co-op is mine.
There’s a sense of ownership and

involved in YC participation,
along with concern over what he
felt was his lack of knowledge
about milk marketing. What he
found was that marketing basics
and principles were “leamable,”
and not as difficult and vague as
he had feared.
“What we have here in Order 4
is unique, and not as typical as we
thought,” was Jeffs impression of
the cooperative spirit of the Penn
marva member organizations. He

together of dairy farmers on a
national level, as dairy producer

Cablevey - the
PROFIT
CONVERTER
1.) CABLEVEY Measures Feed By Weight - No other barn feeder on the
market actually weighs the amount of feed delivered to each cow.
2.) CABLEVEY Saves Energy * 1 motor and 1 system handle many
livestock operations.
3.) CABLEVEY Reduces Feed Separation - Unlike flex augers, feed
separation is minimal - that means a more uniform ration to all cows.
4.) CABLEVEY Keeps Feed Fresh - “Trip After Fill” operation means no
feed is delivered to the drops until feeding time.
5.) CABLEVEY Takes the Corners - Specially designed 90° corners
allow efficient system operation for any barn layout.
6.) CABLEVEY Installs Easily - No need for installing steel beam track to
support heavy feed hopper loads.

“We need to emphasize the

YC programs of the Pennmarva
New Castle County
Demonstration Contest
The 1989 New Castle County
4-H Demonstration Contest was
held in Townsend Elementary
School recently. To prepare for
the contest, 4-H’ers had to be able
to present information about their
project while utilizing visual aids.
They had to be able to speak clear
ly and confidently while demon
strating eveiything from photo
graphy techniques to preserving
jellies to mature conservation.
While giving their demonstra
tions, 4-H’ers were evaluated by
judges who were looking for,
among other things, how well the
4-Hcr kept the audience’s atten
tion, how well they used their vis
ual aids, the organization of the
presentation and the overall enthu
siasm that was exhibited during
the demonstration.
As the judges were evaluating
each demonstration, the audience

had the benefit of learning many
interesting things. For example,
the audience learned how to cor
rectly sew on a button as shown by
a Meadowlarks 4-H club member,
Marybeth Miller. Kathy Slater of
the Porter Gang 4-H club showed
the audience how to personalize
their own stationary and Andrea
Passarelli of the Hockessin Clov
ers showed everyone how to make
delicious Favorite Layer Bars.
All the demonstrations pre
sented were very interesting and at
the same time very entertaining.
The top winners in each category
have the opportunity to compete at
the state level held at the Delaware
State Fair in July.
All 4-H’ers who participated
did an excellent job in communi
cating and presenting their know
ledge in their respective project
areas.
