820-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 28,1989 BY LINDA WILLIAMS Bedford Co. Correspondent MANNS CHOICE (Bedford Co.) A Group Study Exchange Program from Pakistan and repre senting Rotary International toured some Bedford County farms recently. Five women and their group leader were hosted by the Bedford Rotary Club. Farms were included on their tour because Pakistan’s livelihood is 70 percent dependent on agriculture. “We are impressed with the modem methods of farming here,” said Naheed Shah, a career diplo mat with the Pakistan Foreign Ser vice, and a member of the group. “It is much more technical than ours, but then, we expected it would be.” The group visited farms in the Manns Choice area of Bedford County and took an in-depth look “I Dare You” Leadership Award Presented CLEMENTON, NJ Phaedra Niemczak, a member of the Gol den Nuggets 4-H Square Dance Club, has been awarded the national “I Dare You” leadership award in recognition of her per sonal integrity, balanced living, and motivation for leadership. The honor was presented by Camden County 4-H at their annual 4-H awards night held at the 4-H Cen ter in Blackwood on October 14.

The award was first offered in 1941 by William H. Danforth, founder of the Ralston Purina Company in St. Louis, who dared young people to achieve their highest potential and to influence others through lives of service.

The Fairs milk 60 to 70 head of Holstein cattle and farm 640 acres of ground. “Pakistan farms would have less acreage and all the cows would be milked by hand,” explains Shah. Few of the farmers in Pakistan would have an education. “Land owners, perhaps,” says Shah, but definitely not those who do the farming.” A farm in Pakistan would have as many as 30 to 35 persons working for a share of the crops. The land is irrigated by canals. Punjeba has the most extensive irrigation system in the world. Cotton, rice, leather, and tobac co are exported from the country. “In some years, sugar cane would cal, social and spiritual develop ments as the back bone of leadership.

More than 8,000 schools and 4-H programs partici pate in the “I Dare You” leader ship award each year.
