The four winners will be hon ored at a special banquet kicking off the 1992 World Dairy Expo. This year’s show is Sept 30 - Oct 4 at the Dane County Expo Cen ter, Madison, Wis. Roland Singy, of Switzerland, is the retired head of the Animal Breeding Station in Grangeneuve and the chief executive of the Holstein Association of Switzerland. Singy was instrumental in the acceptance of the Holstein Frie sian cow in Alpine Europe. In the 19S0*s, the Black and White (Fribourg) breed, a dual purpose breed related to Simmen tal, had severe breeding problems. The breed then made up about one percent of Switzerland’s cattle population. Singy strongly supported a new breeding philosophy that used Canadian and United States semen. This eventually resulted in more Black and White cattle, steady productivity growth and increased production. From 1972, Singy traveled yearly to North America to select bulls for Swiss semen import. His goal was to eventually replace the Black and White cattle with Hols teins. His sampling program of Swiss-bred bulls is highly respected in Switzerland and internationally. Singy’s leadership extended to service as executive secretary of the Fribourg Holstein Association. He established the Dairy Expo in Bulle and managed it up to his retirement in 1990. Singy served as director of the Swiss Artificial Insemination Association, the KSV (Swiss association for cattle, semen and embryo export) and the Swiss E.T. Association. Singy is also very involved in the community activi ties of Villars-sur-Glane where he De Laval concentrates are formulated for maximum cleaning power A small amount cuts nghl through hard-to-reach deposits, even in automatic cleaning systems.

Walker announced that Maryland Depart ment of Agriculture is stepping up its mos quito war on the Lower Eastern Shore in response to heavy rains which threaten to pro duce a bumper crop of mosquitoes. Governor William Donald Schaefer said, “I am pleased that the Maryland Department of Agriculture is mov ing quickly to head off this problem. Mosqui toes are a real pest and pose a nuisance to peo ple, livestock, and pels.” Mosquito popula tions on the Eastern Shore of Maryland are likely to increase great ly. Recently, rainfall amounts on the Eastern Shore exceeded four inches and have caused flooding in salt marsh and upland mosquito breeding sites. A concerted effort by the Maryland Depart ment of Agriculture to control the larvae at the source is under way, utilizing all available gound equipment and aircraft. Aerial spraying has been hindered by the poor flying condi tions, but will intensify as the weather improves and adult mosquitoes begin to emerge and fly in search of a blood meal. All participating county, city, and com munity control prog rams can expect to see increased spraying to reduce mosquito annoy ance. Aerial spraying to reduce large mosquito populations is likely to occur on the lower East ern Shore in the coming weeks.
