Those with more inbreeding produc ed less than a 79-percent crop. Previous calf's sex had a slight influence on the cow’s subsequent conception rate. Cows nursing bull calves produced 1 8 percent fewer calves the next year than those having female calves. A recent USDA and Louisi ana study showed the effect of a calf’s sex on the dam’s subsequent fertility. Cows having male calves produced about 5 percent fewer off- spring. Reasons for this are not known. Researchers think the lower "rates may be due to greater difficulties in giv ing birth to the larger males, and greater nutritional de mands on cows nursing buU calves Farm machines can rust out quicker when neglected than they can wear out under normal usage with good care. Burton S Horne, Penn State extension agricultural engineer, urges farmers to use a rust preventive on fric tioning parts when machines are not in use.
