The topic to be discussed is Dry Cow Management. Speakers will be Mr. Gerald Hess, nutritionist, and Dr. Melvyn Wenger, veterinarian. Areas to be emphasized at the meeting are needs for proper protein energy, mineral balance during the dry period, common mistakes and miscon ceptions and dry cow mastitis treatment and medications. Proper dry cow management is one of the most neglected areas of dairy herd management. This study will center on exposing this neglect and establishing management practices that will work toward improving this critical management period. < All area dairymen are invited to attend, refresh ments will be served.

Protein content is controlled by genes while vitamin content is influenced by both genes and environment, declared Drs. R. M. Leach, E. L. Bergman, and D. E. Baker of the Penn State faculty. They said many years of worldwide efforts to alter the protein and vitamin content of plants through fer tilization have been relatively unsuccessful. Their comments are featured in a special foods issue of “Science in Agriculture,” the quarterly magazine of the Agricultural Experiment Station. The forage grasses, they noted, are one exception to the concept that genes SALE 12 noon Dinner Bell Terms by, EDGAR PORTER Lancaster Farming, Saturday. Mar. 9.1974 control protein content. Such grasses respond to nitrogen fertilization with some in crease in protein. Variation in plant mineral content can be reflected in a number of health problems affecting human beings and animals. Included among such health conditions ar iodine deficiency or goiter, cobalt deficiency, magnesium deficiency or grass tetany, selenium deficiency, selenium toxicity, and molybdenum toxicity. The special issue of “Science of Agriculture” contains 14 articles featuring developments in food science. Copies are available free from the Agricultural Mailing Room, 112 Agricultural Administration Building, University Park, Pa. 16802. Ask for the foods issue of “Science in Agriculture.” In their report, Dr. Leach and associates mentioned widespread public interest in organic plant production. They observed, however, that plants usually take up essential nutrients as inorganic forms. Thus, if soil nutrients are applied in organic 'form, the nutrients must first be converted to inorganic form in the soil before being absorbed by plants. This means that plants produced on organically fertilized soils are not necessarily of higher nutritional quality than plants grown with the use of inorganic fertilizers. This does not suggest that organic material is of no value, the Penn Staters commented. Organic fer tilizers improve soil c haractenstics such as water- Development School Planned For Community Leaders About 110 grass roots community leaders from 13 states and" Puerto Rico gathered at the Kanuga Conference Center near Hendersonville, N. C., Sunday, Mar. 3 for the second National Rural Development Leaders School. Among highlights of the session, coordinated by USDA’s Rural Development Service (RDS), were speeches by U. S. congressmen and Agriculture Department holding capacity, tillability, and rain absorption capacity. Applying waste materials to the soil provides a means of recycling wastes to improve environmental quality. Several projects are un derway at Penn State to study the effects of applying waste materials to the soil. In one study, the effect of repeated application of sewage sludge upon plant composition and animal health is being investigated. The results will lead to a better understanding of the transfer of mineral elements from the soil through plants in the food chain of animals and man. A second project,, related to wastes as applied to soil, involves the development of a new soil testing procedure. This new procedure will determine how much of each element is available for uptake by the plant. From su«h a soil test it would be possible to predict the potential for altering plant composition and subsequent human and animal health when applying waste materials to the soil. A third project relates to the effect of dried poultry manure on vegetable production, with and without additional application of various essential elements as inorganic fertilizers. Results after two years of studies have shown that best yield was gained when ad ditional phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium were added to the soil. Of course each crop has specific nutrient requirements and plant nutrient application should be based on the results of soil tests. officials. Purpose of the school is to teach community leaders how to be more effective m their rural development work. The course is an in tensive program of lectures, discussions, and group assignments of practical decisionmaking based on community development problems. The students represented rural communities in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Puerto Rico. Faculty members for the school were from govern ment, industry, business, education, and public in terest groups. Subsequent offerings of the school, to be held in different regions of the country, are being planned. These sessions will be announced as programs for them are developed. FOR SALE TENN.
