somewhat less than desirable, or
even nonexistent, because the
ingredient will be rendered
inactive betore it even reaches the

much as 50 percent or more ot the
active ingredient may be
decomposed.
"A pH in the range of 4 to ti is
recommended tor most pesticide
sprays,” Hock points out. ‘You
can adjust spray solutions to this
range by buffering agents on the
market. Although there is a great
deal ot variability, in general we
tind that insecticides are attected
more severely by alkaline water
than tungtcides or herbicides.”

He explained that the young
animal has the option of three
locations in the hutch. The calf can
take advantage of the shade in the
back, find a medium range of light
and air at the opening or can get a
full measure of air by standing
outside the hutch.
- "She’s not at the mercy ot just
one pen inside the barn,” Meyer
said.
Meyer cautioned against the use
of fiberglass in the wrong places.
Light and heat is easily filtered in
but not as easily filtered out, he
said. The build-up ot heat can
stress the animals, even in spring
and fall.
The correct placement ot
building is essential tor natural
ventilation systems. It buildings
are too close, the air movement is
stifled. Meyer suggested setting
buildings a minimum ot 60 feet
apart.
One of the most important
features, he said, ’s to construct
building cross-ways to the wind.
"It’s difficult to get air to travel
eighty feet, let alone three him-

cautions that there are a tew
pesticides that should not be
acidified under any cir
cumstances. Sprays containing
fixed copper fungicides, including
Bordeaux mixture, copper oxide,
basic copper sullate, copper
hydroxide plus lune or lime sulfur
should not be acidified.
"But, it the product label tells
you to avoid alkaline materials,
chances are good that the spray
mixture will benefit by adjusting
the pH to 6 or shghly lower,” Hock
says.

dred,” he said citing the use ot
natural ventilation in a 300-teet
tree-stall which was erected long
ways to the wind.
Milking parlors and holding
areas can present problems it not
properly ventilated. If a partition
does not exist between the holding
area and the parlor, heat from the
waiting cows causes condensation
and moisture in the parlor. The
result is a wet ceiling and wet
insulation, Meyer suggested
sectioning ott the holding area and
installing circulating tans tor the
comfort ot the waiting animals.
Most humans know what it’s like
to walk from the humid outdoors
into an air conditioned building or
curl in front ot a tire while the
winter wind whistles outside.
Without proper ventilation, our
bovine buddies are at the mercy ot
the elements and their complaints
come in the form ot lower milk
yeild and poor health.
