Many growers resist the idea of double cropping because
of the pressure of time. It’s time to think twice. With
ORTHO PARAQUAT CL plus a residual herbicide you can
actually harvest one crop and plant a second the same day.
PARAQUAT is a fast-acting herbicide that kills a broad
spectrum of unwanted weeds and grasses. You can plant
land treated with PARAQUAT immediately. You plant right
into the stubble of the proceeding crop with no fuel con
suming plowing or discing.
The savings on fuel are sizeable. You also save on time,
labor, and equipment usage costs. For best results, apply
PARAQUAT with ORTHO X-77® Spreader.
DANGER: PARAQUAT is highly toxic if swallowed and
should be kept out of the reach of children. To prevent
accidental ingestion, never transfer to food, drink, or
other containers. Read the label carefully and follow all
directions, danger state
ments, and worker safety
rules. Restricted Use
Pesticide. Use all chemi
cals only as directed.

Top
cows recognized
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A
listing of 1234 registered
Hereford cows have been
afforded special recognition
by the American Hereford
Association.
Cows in this elite group
have combined the single
most important economic
trait of fertility, with the
second most important trait
of growth of her offspring.
To be selected, a cow must
meet very high criteria. She
must be four years of age or
older, must have had her
first calf at 25 months of age
or younger, have a calving
interval of 370 days or less,
and her calves must have
weaned at least 5 percent
above the average of her
herd.
Only about one-half of one
percent of the nation’s
registered Hereford
breeding cows can meet the
rigid standards to attain
listing.
“Because of different
management programs,
many cows do not have the
opportunity to be listed,
however those making the
list are efficient, productive
cows and are deserving of
the snecial recoemtion ”

state H. H. Dickenson,
executive vice president of
the AHA.
There are cows from 314
breeders from 30 states
shown on the list. “This
widespread distribution m
numbers and areas further
reflects the Hereford cow’s
ability to adjust to different
climates and management
programs,” Dickenson
added.
South Dakota Hereford
breeders ranked first in both
the number of breeders and
the number of cows, with 259
head from 47 breeders
meeting the standards.
Montana ranked second in
both categories with 185
cows from 45 breeders, and
North Dakota ranked third
with 24 breeders and 132
cows.
Two cows listed are 16
years of age, have weaned 14
calves, and still maintain the
5 percent above average for
growth on their offspring.
They are Alva Aster Zatone
A, owned by Russell E.
French, Oelrichs, S.D., and
RC Evan Heiress, 53, owned
by Ned Ray Purtle and Son,
