Dry Cow Meet
At Darden Spot
Garden Spot Young
Farmers will sponsor a
meeting, March 12,7:45 p.m.
at the High School ag room.
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.

Plant Proteins, Vitamins
Not Affected by Fertilizer
Fertilizer increases yields
but has little effect on the
protein and vitamin content
of food plants, according to
scientists with the
Agricultural Experiment
Station at The Pennsylvania
State University. 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

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

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

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.
