‘Limber Legs’
“Limber legs” in Jersey
calves, a condition m which
calves are unable to control their
legs, is inherited, according to
the USDA
The first reports of limber legs
were made in 1969. Since then,
the condition has been reported in
several Jersey herds across the
country Both female and male
calves are affected
Affected calves appear normal,
but they are unable to stand and
their legs can be easily rotated or
bent with no visible discomfort to
the calf Normal muscling of the
legs is apparently lacking, and
the joints are loose
These calves are a complete
loss to the dairyman
ARS dairy scientist Robert C.
Lamb with Clive W. Arave and
veterinary pathologist James L.
Shupe of the Utah Agricultural
Experiment Station, Logan,
determined through a pedigree
analysis of affected calves that
the defect was genetically con
trolled All affected animals were
closely related

in Jerseys Is Inherited
know exactly how the condition is
inherited, they believe it is
controlled by a simple recessive
gene This means that half the
sons and daughters of carrier
bulls will be carriers
Further research is under way
with known and suspected
carriers to provide Jersey
breeders more information on
how to avoid this problem.

Nonmetro Pa. Areas Gain Most Jobs
As was true in the sixties
nationally—with the exception of
the Western U.S.—
manufacturing employment
grew faster in nonmetropolitan
areas than in metropolitan areas
in Pennsylvania.
Manufacturing employment
expanded 13.7 per cent in small
communities with populations
under 25,000 during 1960-66. This
was a much faster growth rate
than the 3 6 per cent of urban
areas with centers of 25,000 and

- Chemical Uniformity Each and every STARTER SPECIAL
pellet has all three primary nutrients - nitrogen, phosphorus,
potassium - chemically homogenized in precisely the most
desirable ratio 13-34-10 The nutrients can't separate or
segregate during handling as with troublesome, hard-to
regulate “dry blends ’’
- Double Duty Nutrients STARTER SPECIAL has both
quick acting and long-lasting nitrogen and phosphorus for
thorough plant feeding There is no urea or diammonium
phosphate that might endanger the seed through liberation
of free ammonia
Of course, these features also make it highly effective as
a banded starter But, with only slight adaptation of most
planters, it can be applied directly with the seed in exacting
measurement for safety and maximum response.
With this kind of control, you apply much less material
only 1/3 the amount needed for banding And the reduced
material handling could cut your planting time in half!
So. save time, trouble, and money at planting time. See us
soon about applying STARTER SPECIAL this spring as a
dry "pop-up".
