E. R. B o n e w i t z Ci ted as K a n s a s D a i r y Leader

E. Ralph Bonewitz, Extension dai ry spe- cialist at Kansas State University, was named the 1965 Kansas Dairy Leader at a special recognition banquet in Hutchinson during the Kansas State Fa i r .

The Kansas In terbreed Dairy Cattle Council bestowed this honor on Professor Boncwitz

who has been engaged in dairy education work in the state for the past 24 years as a s tate Extension special- ist, a county agent, and a vocational agriculture teacher. He was hon- ored for his dedicated service to the dai ry in- dustry, avid promotion of new dairy Exten- sion programs, vigor- ous support of 4-H

have endeared him to Kansas dairymen. During his 16 years as a state Extension
