[Kenneth Young's Animals
# Take First In State
under the vocational agricul-
ture program of the Donegal
High School. Last January,
he exhibited his heifers in
the Harrisburg Farm Show
for the first time in the jun-
ior yearling class. This was
also a first for the school
since none had ever been
exhibited at the Harrisburg
show prior to Kenneth’s en-
try
In the spring of 1956 he
purchased three additional
heifers. In addition to his
herd, he also is carrying on
corn and tobacco projeets
plus 500 laying and hatching
hens. His other activities
include participation in the
Future Farmers of America
Donegal chapter of which he
is chaplain. He sings in the
school chorus and plays saxa-
phone in the school band
plus entering into activity in
his local church.
Wins Prizes
During the Hershey Penn-
sylvania Dutch contest in
August he showed three of
his animals. He placed first
in the junior yearling class;
fifth in the senior calf divis-
ion and eighth in the senior
yearling class. His next ap-
pearance was entering the
southeastern regional FFA
Junior Dairy show at the
Guernsey Barn, Lancaster, on
Aug. 31. For this show he
took first place prizes in each
of the classes in which he
entered his animals. His first
were in. the senior yearling,
junior yearling and senior
calf classes. His junior year-
ling entry was voted reserve
champion of the show.
Since only first place win-
ners are permitted to enter
the state contest and since
only two animals may be
exhibited by one person,
Kenneth exhibited his junior
yearling and senior calf win-
ners. At the Pennsylvania
State Guernsey show he a-
ga'n took two first place pos-
itions for his animals
At this state show last
Thursday, officials chose five
. to represent Pennsylvania at
th2 national contest in Iowa
and the local boy was one of
the chosen five. He will be
the only FFA entrant from
Lancaster County to repre-
sent Pennsylvania next week.
He also exhibited his ani-
mals in the York Fair where
he was awarded a fourth and
fifth place for his two junior
yearling entries
To Receive Calf
Today at the Lampeter
Farm Fair, the local lad was
presented with a calf. The a-
ward is given annually by
the different breeders to the
boy in the vocational agricul-
ture department who excell-
ed in farm projects, commu-
nity activities and church ac-
tivities.
With this Guernsey, his
herd is increased to six. The
twenty-seven boys of the
school’s vocational agricul-
ture department with the
Vocational Agriculture In-
structor, Grant Miller, were
on hand to see the presenta-
tion. The entire department
also escorted Kenneth to the
state show in Harrisburg
last Thursday.
Takes Summer Trip
During the past summer,
Kenneth was one of seven to
be chosen from Lancaster
County to attend the Nation-
al Institute of Cooperatives
in Raleigh, N. C. Boys were
chosen for their interest in
farm cooperatives.
Kenneth, a junior at Don-
egal High School, plans to
have a herd of eleven pure
bred Guernseys by the ©
