SOMERSET (Somerset Co.) -
Fifty-eight members of the county
4-H Clubs participated in the
annual Public Speaking Contest
held at the St. Peter's Catholic
School and church hall on April
22. There were 25 in the senior
division and 33 in the junior divi
sion. Serving as master of ceremo
nies was Robert Antram, interim
director of the Somerset County
Cooperative Extension Service.
Paul Will, 17, son of Dan and
Kathy Will took first place with a
speech about "Creativity." Citing
examples from children, teenagers
and adults dealing with children.
Will was convincing. "I just sort
of challenged the audience to
broaden their mind," he said, later.
A junior at the Berlin-
Brothersvalley High School and a
member of the Milksquirts 4-H
Club, Will says he's been in 4-H
since age eight, always showing
cows and pigs at the county fair.
Right from the outset. Will says
he's been in the thick of 4-H public

speaking competitions. Twice pre
viously he has gone to the state
contest.
Will's home, a 750 acre Century
Farm called the North View Farm,
has a 90 head dairy herd of cows
demanding of the Will’s a three
times-a-day milking schedule.
Michele Countryman's in-depth
speech on "Body Language"
placed her second in the contest
She, too, will participate in the
state contest held next August at
the Pennsylvania State University.
"We all have it," declared
Countryman about body language.
Sure enough, her illustrations
proved that everybody has uncon
scious body movements that to an
observer are suggestive of almost
anything between total boredom
to keen alertness of mind.
The daughter of David and Lin
da Countryman, the Berlin-
Brothersvalley junior, like her
peer, is a member of the Milks
quirts 4-H Club. From years of
practice, Countryman is quite the
expert on food preservation, hav

fertilizer has been earning tomato
grower loyalty for more than forty
years. In die field! Under weather con
ditions that often fail to cooperate! At
harvest, when talk time is over and
product promises are measured by re
sults! Growers have found that Calcium
Nitrate comes through.
Use Calcium Nitrate on your next
crop. You will be pleased by the growth,
yield and quality you see. The kind of
profitable results achieved by tomato
growers across America, season after
season, because of Calcium Nitrate’s
unique combination of nutrients:
Nitrate nitrogen for fast
response. Better timing and
control. Calcium Nitrate supplies
nitrate, the non-acidifying nitrogen
that’s readily available for plant
uptake—under plastic mulch or open
rows. You’ll see fast, uniform response
with the precise feeding and timing you
need for better growth and better
crop management.

Earlier, more uniform maturity.
Improved yield and quality.
Nitrate nitrogen gives the quick opti
mum response the crop needs and then
“runs out.” Elimination of residual
nitrogen and salt problems promotes
better yields, uniform maturity and
harvest efficiency. One good thing leads
to another when you fertilize with
Calcium Nitrate.
Vital calcium: it helps your crop;
helps your soil. Calcium Nitrate con
tains 19% water-soluble calcium. This
vital nutrient, combined with nitrate
nitrogen, provides tomato crop benefits
both above and below the ground.
Young leaves, stalks, roots and fruit
must have calcium for proper develop
ment. Adequate calcium in the fruit
markedly improves harvest and ship
ping quality. This low-salt, non-acid
source of nitrate and calcium is un
matched by any other nitrate fertilizer.
Available in bag or bulk. Apply
Calcium Nitrate straight or ask your
dealer to include it in your tomato
fertilizer. You’ll be glad you did!
As with any fertilizer application, con
sult your extension office or other advisory
service for recommended practice that
meets local crop and soil conditions.
