)o harvest.
Because adequate soil mois
ture levels will assure a heavy
third culling, our recommenda
tion is to apply the protective
spray so that the stunted and
yellow-green growth damage
does not develop in the third
cutting. Leafhopper problems
usually disappear after late
August.
Development of the individu
al is the primary goal of 4-H.
Citizenship and leadership aie
stressed.
