Samples with good green color will score higher in the Woodlot ROCK SPRINGS - Management of small woodlots will be demon stated at the Rock Springs Research Center next week “Primary focus is on sustained yields of a multitude of products from the forest, including firewood, while retaining attractiveness and value,” says George Kelly, assistant professor of wildlife ecology at Penn State. Methods will emphasize achieving objectives of the owner while maintaining multiple-use values of forest lands. These presentations will be given in the con servation-research demons tration area as part of Penn State’s Ag Progress Days. Personnel at the educational exhibits tent will explain sources and types of assistance available to private non-industrial owners of forestland. Nearly 80 percent of the forested area of Pennsylvania is owned by this segment of the population, Kelly says. Other displays will illustrate evolution of forestry practices and of Pennsylvania forests. The historical feature will show tools used in the woods as well as the common forest harvesting methods during the past century.

For many dairymen, udder edema is a naggmg problem that costs them through lost produc tion.” Udder edema, sometimes called, “caked udder”, is characterized by excessive build up of fluid in the tissue of the udder The cow’s udder swells, grows hard and the teats become thick and unphable. This condition makes it impossible to milk the cow properly. First calf heifers often develop udder edema. One study at the University of Illinois revealed that 96.5 percent of the first calf heifers studied had detec table udder edema. It is believed that a combination of the increased blood flow to the udder, the unborn calves’ weight and higher blood pressure at birth cause the condition. Udder edema may go away one to two weeks after PLAN NOW FOR GRAIN STORAGE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ASCS INTEREST-FREE .LOANS ON 1980 CROP.

Even so, this delays the heifer from reaching her potential. The result is lost milk and money. Udder edema also in creases the risk of a cow developing further com plications. A swollen udder stretches and weakens the medial suspensory ligament causing a pendulous udder which often predisposes a cow to mastitis. Severe cases of udder edema can lead to early culling. Udder edema can be treated and your veterinarian can best tell you how to treat it. Medication such as a steroid/diuretic that can usually clear up an ed matous udder within three to four days is often prescribed by veterinarians. This medication has the ad vantage of reducing the inflammation that can lead to bacterial infections. Optimum productivity is the key to a successful dairy operation. Prompt treat ment of udder edema helps lower the risk of production losses. .STATE ZIP,
