818-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 6, 1993
As we have quite a bit of wood
land on our farm, we also have a
lot of fallen dead trees. My hus
band has been sawing this wood
for our son to bum in his stove.
Our daughter and son-in-law in
Wyoming County also bought a
new stove to help heat their house.
The year before we moved from
the farmhouse, we installed a new
furnace that burned wood but
automatically switched over to
fuel oil if the water temperature
dropped. Allen spent most of that
winter hauling very large chunks
of wood in the wheelbarrow to
satisfy the furnace’s need for fuel.
I like trees and do not like to see
them cut down as it takes so long
to grow another to replace the one
that is removed. However, our son
in Atlanta has weeks of work be
cause a big oak tree fell on the cor
ner of his house. Now he must re
pair his chimney, the railing on the
deck, the roof and replace the rain
gutters. Till he gets all of that
done. I’m not sure how he will
feel about trees.

Ida’s
Notebook
Ida Risser
one of my sisters sent to me long
ago. In it, she tells me that she
feels that I got her interested in
wild flowers. And, I in turn would
say that my father got me interest
ed in plants and trees. As we
worked in the fields, he would
name each weed that we hoed out
of the tobacco field.
Often we do not realize how we
influence others. Sometimes peo
ple will say to me, “Do you re
member what you said?” No, I
don’t know but they remembered.
Everything that we hear, see or
read influences us in some man
ner. A teacher’s influence extends
beyond the classroom. Even in our
families, there is no way to know
what our children will remember
about us.
SYRACUSE, New York
Designed to increase milk sales
through increased student partici
pation in the School Breakfast
Program, the American Dairy
Association and Dairy Council’s
(ADADC) “Breakfast in School is
Cool’’ promotion resulted in a six
percent increase in breakfast parti
cipation across ADADC’s region.
New breakfast items such as
breakfast pizza, egg in a cheese
pocket, and pancake on a stick
were offered to entice students to
eat a healthy breakfast in school.
Cranberry the Clown, Raggedy
Ann and Andy and Moo Moo the
Cow, along with other notable
celebrities, visited various schools
to encourage students to eat
school breakfast. Coloring, poster
and slogan contests were con
ducted during the promotion with
ice cream and pizza parties, t
shirts, stuffed animals, sport bags
Introducing the
new lean gain program
that’s already
produced over
3.5 billion pounds
of leaner port.
Moor Man’s MaxLearT Program featuring moo
new advanced formula Max Leah MVP”
Moor Man’s MVP has stood for Maximum Value Pork since
1986. In that time, more than 20 million MVP fed hogs have
gone to market faster, leaner and more profitably.
Now MVP is even better. New advanced formula Max Lean
MVP swine concentrate is joined by a full-line lean gain
program. Including Max Lean Pack for premixes and
concentrates, or Max Lean Completes. All are designed to
maximize lean gain. Your Moor Man Representative is eager
to help you put even leaner porJ< on America’s tables.
Pork and hog figures based on pounds of Formula MVP sold, amount required per hog to market weight, and
standard carcass weight.

classroom participation.
To enhance the promotion,
ADADC provided colorful neon
posters and stickers to catch the
attention of the students, bro
chures for parents, clip art and a
list of school breakfast ideas for
school food service directors. In
addition to providing promotional
materials, ADADC began market
ing a new nutrition program to
second grade teachers called
Healthy Choices: Balanced Meals.
This program reinforces the bene
fits of school breakfast while
teaching students about the four
food groups.
Fifteen media outlets, including
television and radio stations in
major markets, aired interviews
with ADADC staff who focused
on children’s health and the
importance of eating breakfast.
Research studies in Boston
showed students who ate school
breakfast scored better on standar
dized tests than those who didn’t
eat breakfast. The same study
showed less absenteeism and tar
diness among students who ate
breakfast. School breakfast not
only helps students; dairy farmers
benefit through increased milk
sales since a carton of milk is a
standard part of school breakfasts.
ADADC will continue in 1993
to work with food service direc
tors and teachers in elementary
schools by providing educational
and promotional materials prom
oting healthy meals which include
the four food groups. A refresher
kit will be mailed to school in time
for National School Breakfast
Week in March.
