TO TOPDRESS ALFALFA
There are several times of the
year when alfalfa can be top
iressed but fall is one of the best
times The use of a phosphorus
potash fertilizer is suggested
because alfalfa plants are heavy
users of both of these elements
Some growers will topdress after
the removal of the first cutting
while others prefer applications
during the late summer or early

QUALITY
THAT’S AN ELUSIVE COMMODITY ISN’T IT? THIS IS
OUR APPROACH TO QUALITY IN DAIRY FEEDS.
1. Formulation Control
a requirements determined by our own research,
b computer selected ingredients to meet those
requirements
1 not least cost formulation
c current and legal registrations and tag
2. Incoming Ingredients
a sample every one before unloading
b maintain quality records on each supplier
(they really hate us for that)
3. Quality Production
a precise mixing procedure on vitamins
minerals
b dose tolerances on all ingredients
4. Quality of finished product
a visual inspection
b correct identification
c lab analysis
d flushing between feeds
Quality control is a way of life with us, not simply a
program

fall; either time should give good
results; the important thing is to
do the topdressing at least once a
year in order to get larger yields
and to hole the alfalfa plants for
longer periods of time. The use of
nitrogen in the fertilizer for
established stands of alfalfa is
still questionable, as a starter
fertilizer for new stands, the
nitrogen is helpful in getting a
stronger plant in a shorter length
of time

Because payment deductions
for less-than-average-quahty set
aside land are being increased
for the 1973 programs, producers
can be better assured of equitable
application of set-aside
provisions in the 1973 wheat, feed
gram, and cotton programs,
according to a report last week
from the USDA
For wheat and feed grain
farms, when low-quality acreage
is offered for set-aside that is
acreage not representative of
land on which the farm’s crops
are grown the entire payment
will be based on the productivity
of the set-aside land.
This announcement was made
as a result of a study of 1971-72
program operations which
revealed that a few producers
with farms having both poor
quality and quality cropland have
offered the poor-quality for set
aside and accepted deductions
from their farm payments. The
deductions were not enough to
offset the monetary advantage
gained by producing crops on the
quality acreage rather than
setting it aside from production.

A new antipollution trans
fer and storage pumping sys
tem to prevent oil from spill
ing, rather than containing
or collecting damaging spills
after they occur, has been an
nounced by Ocean Science
and Engineering, Inc, Long
Beach, Calif.
The system can be dropped
from a cargo plane or heli
copter or delivered by an
other ship and deploys imme
diately, according to William
H. Glennon, president.
“OSE’s portable pump is
then lowered into the stricken
vessel’s tanks and connected
to the rubber-nylon container
floating along-side,” he con
tinued. “Using multiple
pumps, up to 20,000 tons or
more of oil per day can be
pumped from a distressed
tanker. In many cases, too,
prompt lightening of a
grounded ship enables it to
be freed before wave action
ruptures the hull, resulting
in' a major uncontrolled oil
spill,” Glennon added.

cases where set-aside land is not
