County agent Max Smith
told dairymen the recom
mendation for control of
alfalfa weevil will be about
the same as last year One
pound of Dieldnn per acre
should be applied m the fall
during late October or Nov
ember taut not after the fi"st
of December. Either granules
or spray may be used, he
said, but not less than 50
pounds of 2% granules should
be used because of difficulty
of eveiT coverage with small
er amounts of a more con
centrated material. If spray
is used, not less than 20
gallons per acre is recom
mended.
Smith said it does not now
appear that Heptachlor will
be released for use on for
age crops _ next year.

Feed Program
Said Vital To
Calf Program
A good program for grow
ing dairy replacement heif
ers is the safest insurance a
gamst problems that heifers
may have in calving the first
time, according to John C.
Thompson, nationally known
dairy authority and manager
of the dairy research farm of
a national feed company.
Some dairymen believe
they should breed their first
caff heifers to -beef bul's in
order to get smaller calves.
Thompson believes this prac
tice is too often a substitute
for. a proper calf growing
program. It is a costly prac
tice that results in the loss
of one generation of dairy
breeding stock. Thompson
contends that if the heifers
are grown right and bred at
the right stage of develop
ment, they are completely
capab'e of producing safely a
first caff of their own breed
Recent college research
gives evidence that cross
breeding may not be as in
strumental in producing a
small calf as some dairymen
believe. This research indi
cates the heifer herself has a
major influence on the size
of the calf In a University
of Illinois test, calves from
Ho'stein dams by Angus
bulls were 18 8 pounds heav
ier than those from Guernsey
dams by the same sires. Tests
at the University of Wiscon
sin showed that Angus bull-
Holstem heifer crosses pro
duced calves five pounds hea
vier than Holstein bull Ang
us heifer, thus illustrating a
gam the influence of the dam
on the size of the calf.
To grow a heifer properly,
Thompson recommends a diet
of high qua'ity forage plus 3
pounds o e growing ration
