The pigs on his father's farm might get a little fatter thanks to Johnny Kawahira's trip to the United States, but even if they don't Johnny figures the experience has been worth knows all about life on an Illinois farm now, and that's a long way from his home in Japan. So in Lincoln, when Johnny and 91 other Japanese trainees are picking up a few tips on such pursuits as twine raising and poultry breading during thr two-year stay in the US. The UNL trainees, part of a 187-member contingent sponsored by the Japanese Agricultural Training Council and the US. National 4-H Club Foundation, are on East Campus for three months of institutional training. They've already spent a year on a host farm in the Midwest learning how Americans grow things. At UHL th-yS study poultry or animal i for tot wadki and eaeciefired utinan in poultry, dairy or beef production their t sot weeks. At other American universities Japanese trainees are taught to raise fruit, vegetables or ornamental horticulture, according to their individual tastes. Johnny said the one real problem most trainees have is learning not only the right language, but also the right dialect. "Our teachers in Japan spoke with a British accent.'' he said. "Ifs been difficult for us to understand the American way of talcing." But other than being "not sure" how well he's communicating with Americans, Johnny said adjusting to the rest of a strange culture is just a matter of asking. "It's an old Japanese saying," he explained. "If you go to a foreign country you have to obey its customs." -.Lv. Ryuzo f&aKSa, who spent his year working for an egg hatchery outside of Lincoln, said he Hved with other Japanese students, but st the hatchery 3 the workers ware very friendly." The trip costs $600 for round-trip transportation and, at UNL. $800 for the institutional training segment. The trainees borrow from their native Agricultural Council to make the trip, and pay back all but 50 per month pocket money of then- US. salary until their debt is cleared. The 187 Japanese students ho trarol to the states each year are picked from about 1.CC3 applicants. They 3 have farm backounds and have completed a high school education-shout nine years hi Japan. Two years can be a long time to spend in a strange country, and Johnny Kawahira said homesickness is a problem for some trainees. "The past seems short," he said. "But sometimes the future seems long." nnixiiXEEiiiq THE ICE CREAM EMPORIUM OLD FASHIONED OPEN V Sundaes Tue. & Wed. (fbiUrf ffh Sodas 10A.M.-7PJW. UU Shakes k Tbur.-Sun. ; ' until 10 P.M.
