“Even though it may sound
‘old hat’ to say so, pioducei
prices are affected by the re

milk," he emphasized.
Hatfield pointed to two dan

It’s a fact that houseflies are carriers of many livestock diseases,
and roundworms and tapeworms, too. That horn fly infestations
can reduce milk production by as much as 20%. That cattle
grubs account for 160 million dollars a year in livestock losses.

Pick the right for the job. READ THE LABEL, ob
serve the precautions, and follow the recommendations closely
as to dosage, physical coverage of the infested area, number of
applications, and placement of the pesticides.
Follow up. One application may not be enough for good control.
For example, insect eggs present during a spray may hatch later
and give you a whole new population to contend with. Watch for
what happens after your treatment, and continue the control as
the label indicates.

such a contractual arrangement
will put more money in the
dairyman's pocket.
“One of the mam reasons for
recent cooperative mergers is
to strengthen the dairyman’s
bargaining power. Encouraging
producers to pull out of their
cooperative and ship directly
to a handier is milk marketing
in reverse.
“In the milk business, where
the sources of supply are
numerous, a contract without a

tion can only lead to minimum
prices and dealer domination of
the maiket,’’ Hatfield said.
