Field Bromegrass
Promising Cover Crop
GENEVA, N. Y. Research
at the Cornell Experiment Sta
tion here shows that field brome
grass is a promising cover crop
for cherry and peach orchards.
When seeded in August ait the
rate of eight to 10 pounds an
acre, it makes sufficient growth
before winter to provide a good
cover crop.
Another advantage of field
bromegrass, the Cornell re
searchers say, is that it tills ex
tensively.
On medium to highly fertile
soils, they found that an ex
cellent cover is produced and a
good supply of organic matter is
returned to the soil. On poor or
eroded soils, application of from
100 to 300 pounds of 10-10-10
fertilizer at seeding time is re
commended.. - . *

LANCASTER—CATTLE; three
days 3,696, week ago 5,213. Small
er receipts early this week could
be attributed to a slower move

ern states. Continued dry weather
in'the local area appeared to limit
the demand for stocker and feed
er steers and prices now $.50-1.00
lower than last week’s close, in-
First Aid for
Tired Cattle
When Appetites become jaded, it’s lime to send in new
Red Rose Rnmenator. ft helps cows offfeed or under stress'
to get more nutrition from roughage.
A cow’s rumen is a constantly working organic machine.
Like the crankcase in your tractor, sometimes you have to
add some oil-oil in the form of added digestive bacteria.
The secret ? Red Rose Rutnenator. It is a fast, efficient way of
supplying extra rumen bacteria thru the cows’ feed; goes to
work quickly turning roughage into usable nourishment,
lower cost gain.
In addition to bacteria, Red Rose Rumenator contains
growth substances for bacteria, vitamins, minerals and
antibiotics.
