A3B-Lancast«r Farming, Saturday, August 31,1985 COLLEGE PARK, MD - Dennis C. Westhoff of Magothy Beach (Anne Arundel County) has been named the first permanent animal sciences department chairperson in the College of Agriculture at the University of Maryland. Dr. Westhoff had served as in terim head since September 1982, when the former animal science and dairy science department were merged into one ad ministrative unit. Before that, he was acting dairy science depart ment chairperson for about 1% years. A faculty member at the College Park campus since 1970, Westhoff established his professional Managing alfalfa (Continued from Page A 37) this date. Storage of foods in the roots and crowns is usually completed by this time, especially if you’ve had a good frost. However, with these late cuttings be sure to leave a tall stubble that will help to catch and hold any snow to protect the plants during winter. If, on the other hand, you end up in September with a heavy stand of alfalfa, your earlier cuttings were lenient, and at least 45 days has elapsed since the last cutting, it’s probably okay to cut even during this so-called critical period. But again remember you stack the odds in your favor if you’ve (1) used a top, multi-pest resistant variety, (2) maintaned a good potash fertility program, and (3) kept insects, especially leafhop per, under control during the growing season. Dr. Sidney Bosworth, Extension forage specialist, ac Penn State, recently published an excellent leaflet on cutting management of alfalfa, red clover and birdsfoot trefoil. You may want to pick up a copy from your local county agent. Next month, for a change of pace, we’ll take a look at forage farming on the dairy and livestock farms of northern Japan.
