Greater Emphasis Reported
On Erosion Control in Pa.
Pennsylvania State Con
servationist R.M Davis recently
announced that greater emphasis
will be placed on controlling
erosion and sediment in Penn
sylvania in 1972 by the U.S. Soil
Conservation Service.
Davis said that sediment is still
one of the greates polluters of
Pennsylvania’s waters.
Annually, in Pennsylvania,
more than 50 million tons of soil
are moved by erosion processes
and much of it ends up as
sediment m streams and lakes.
Not only does sediment destroy
aquatic life, but also carries
pesticides and nutrients which
degrade water quality for
municipal, industrial, and
recreational uses, Davis said.
Farm lands account for about
half the sediment production in
the Commonwealth
Unprotected construction sites
and strip-mining areas are other
major sources of sediment in the

3-Day Beef Cattle Conference
A comprehensive Beef Cattle
Conference will be held March 21,
22 and 23 at Pennsylvania State
University.
Although the conference will
emphasize purebred and com
mercial brood cow production
systems, inforamtion will also
pertain to finishing beef cattle
systems. The conference will be
held in the Meats Laboratory and
the Beef-Sheep Center at
University Park.
state. On a per-acre basis, strip
mined areas and urban
developments can produce 10 to
100 times more sediment than
agricultural lands, Davis pointed
out.
Proven practices and
techniques are readily available
for erosion and sediment control.
Local soil and water conservation
districts, with the assistance of
the Soil Concervation Service and
other conservation agencies, are
providing help to over 50,000 land
users in controlling erosion.
Sediment and erosion control
ordinances have been established
by many communities, and land
developers have begun to
recognize the need for holding
back sediment, Davis continued.
Assistance in planning and
applying practices to control
sediment and erosion is available
from the local offices of the Soil
Conservation Service in Penn

The program will include
discussion of practices involved
in establishing and maintaining
pastures for profitable pasture
and forage production. Methods
of storing forages' for wintering
beef cows and calves will be
discussed.
Other important topics will
include: maintaining herd
health, calculating rations for
different types of beef cattle,
constructing and maintaining low
cost and effective equipment and
facilities, and a demonstration of
certain beef cattle production
skills
Another section of the program
will go into detailed discussions
of methods of improving the
inherited ability of cattle, and
record keeping methods.
A special feature will be an in
depth discussion of the merits of
some of the new breeds recently
introduced into the United States.
Another “special” will be a
consideration of the controversial
“optimum cow body size”
question that recently has
For good production next lactation,
FEED PURINA
DAIRY CONDITIONER
As a dairyman, you know that good milk production
doesn’t just happen. It’s something you plan for by
establishing a herd with the genetic potential for good
production, then managing and feeding your cows so
they’ll produce up to their bred-in ability.
Many successful local dairymen also plan for good pro
duction with a proven program of dry cow feeding.
They need Purina Dairy Conditioner, a research
proven ration to help give dry cows body condition
they need for good production after they freshen.
Purina Dairy Conditioner is an extra-palatable 12%
percent protein ration. It’s fortified with vitamins A
and D plus extra phosphorus to help guard against milk
fever.
Purina Dairy Conditioner is low-cost, too, because the
amounts you feed depend on your cows’ condition and
on the quality of the roughages you feed. For example,
a cow dried off in good condition being fed high-quality
roughages would require less Dairy Conditioner than
a cow in only fair condition being fed fair quality
roughages.
Drop in soon and get your free copy of the
Purina Dry Cow Program folder. We’ll be glad
to show you how Purina Dairy Conditioner can
help you prepare your dry cowsJor good pro
duction next lactation.

become extremely important in
procuding cattle.
According to Dr. Lowell L.
Wilsort, v professor of animal
science and chairman of the
program, “this conference ties
together many of the essentials of
modernizing cow-calf production
systems. The beef cattle business
is changing rapidly. To ef
ficiently use land through beef
cattle, the producer must in
corporate as many modern
production practices as he
possibly can.
“In Pennsylvania, a state
producing only approximately 25
per cent of the total beef con
sumed in the state, there is an
opportunity to raise more beef
cows. We hope that by providing
this program, we can help
this potential,” he affirms.
