ROTATE FLOWER BEDS The fungi, bacteria and ne matodes that cause many plant diseases overwinter in the soil, says Carlton F. Taylor, exten sion plant pathologist at Penn State University.

Computer programming in volved in the new information exchange program will be paid for by the Holstein Association and the data used will continue to be identified with its USDA source. Only standard DHIA production records will be used in the sire evaluations. By tying the Holstein Associa tion’s sire proving program for production into the revised USDA sire summary to give a single sire proving system, dairy farmers will benefit from the information produced. Both agencies have emphasized the greater uniformity of cattle re cords, broader sources of in humation and modern statisti- I cal methods as chief reasons.
