Henry Menusan, Insecti
cide specialist, pointed out
that dairymen will have a
choice of only two or three
spray materials for forage
insect control this year.
Methoxychlor is the stan
dard for the alfalfa weevil,
but it will not kill the lar
vae. The spray should be
timed to hit the adult wee
vil in the growing tip. On
Clover the application should
be held off until the spittle
bugs can be seen- on the
plants
Menusan also suggested
using as much water as feas
ible in the spray material.
“Up to 30 gallon or more
to the acre with the same
quantity of spray material
will give better results than
less water,” he said.
After spraying clover or
alfalfa with parathion, the
crop should not be harvest
ed for a period of 14 days
with Methoxychlor & mala
thion the waiting time is 7
days. “To get the full bene
fit of the spray, you should
wait that long anyway,”
Menusan explained.
Use of Heptachlor
The entomologist suggest
ed that any heptachlor left
over from last year should
be used to treat soil for ro
ot insect control on corn,
tobacco, tomatoes or pep
pers. It can also be used to
control lawn insects as well
as moles in the lawn

Menusan cautioned dairy
men to be very careful in
following instructions of the
manufacturer in using insec
ticide.
Thomas Kinsley, inspector
for the Food and Drug Ad
ministration, reiterated this
warning in 'his talk, Toxic
Substances in Milk.”
Kinsley stated that Food
and Drug regulations allow
no tolerance for insecticide
or antibiodics in milk. . “If
research shows that toleran
ces can safely be set, the
FDA would probably set
those tolerances, but until
that time, we have no re
course but to insist upon a
zero tolerance ” Kinsley
said
Self Policing Asked
Kinsley ca’led on the dairy
men to police their own
to prevent any
unfavorable publicity and
the possibility of undermin
ed confidence of the whole
somness of milk as a food
for infants, elderly persons
and persons recuperating fr
om an illnes
A panel composed of five
county dairymen and mod
erated by Taylor discussed
problems of herd manage
ment One of the significant
points of agreement among
the group was that most of
the udder flareups in their
herds could be traced to an
uddervinjury of some kind.
Taylor pointed out that
farmers have blamed many
things, such as high protein
rations, too much gram, too
much corn, too much barley,
too much wheat, and too
