An effective way to pi event or
eradicate silverflsh is to spray

Alfalfa and clover growers
who made a new seeding of th
ese legumes this spring with
out a nuise crop, are advised
to apply a chemical spray for
the control of Aveeds. If Eptam
was not applied befoie tba
seeding was made, then one qu
art per acre of 2,4-D-B should
be sprayed over the field when,
t/he weeds aie from one to two
inches high. This piactice is
very important to prevent thei
weeds from crowding out the
little legume seedlings.
Cross ventilation is very im
portant in the steer harn dol
ing the spring and summer
months. Doois should be open
ed and windows removed ito
permit maximum air circula
tion Cattle comtort is veiy im
portant toward efficient gains;
hot, stuffy barns do not pio
vide this comtort.
