No-till planting of alfalfa and
other forages in August can be
very effective according to Joel
Myers of the Soil Conservation
Service in Harrisburg. “Conserv
ing soil moisture and reducing soil
erosion” can be two primary bene
fits. In addition young seedlings
can survive die winter months in
the firmer seed bed provided by
no-dll. Myers added that the more
crop residue the more likelihood of
conserving additional moisture
and obtaining a quicker more uni
form stand.
Factors to consider in no-till for
age seedings should include; 1.
Soil fertility and pH level based on
soil test 2. Uniformity of the field
surface. 3. Evaluation of exiting
weeds and developing a spray
program to meet the needs.
In conjunction with no-till
planting in Dauphin County, Lynn
Hoffman, Manager of the Rock
Springs Agronomy Farm at Penn
State will be conducting no-till for
age demonstrations during the
Agricultural Management Day at
the Paul Clugston Farm (Halifax)
on July 31. Planting demonstra
tions are scheduled for 10:00 a.m.
and 1:30 p.m. Lynn will discuss
adjustment of no-till drills, weed
control in no-till and the benefits of
no-till fotage plantings, individu
als having specific questions relat
ing to any type of no-till planting
should plan to see Lynn sometime
between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
As a followup to this planting
demonstration several no-till for
age demonstrations are scheduled
in the Lykens Valley area on
August 13. The first of these will
be held on the Calvin Mauser
Farm, RD, Elizabethville from
11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and the
second will be held on the Ray
Matter Farm west of Berrysburg
along Route 25 at 7:00 p.m. These

An Opportunity For Fall Seedings
plantings will provide individuals
with a first hand opportunity to
observe fall forage seedings of
alfalfa.
On August 27, there will be a
twilight tour of no-till soybean
plantings with different weed con
trol programs. More details will be
released later on this program.
Interested individuals may contact
the Soil Conservation Service
564-6155 or the Cooperative
Extension Service 564-6956.
Individuals interested in no-till
forage seedings in August and
planting of no-till small grains and
cover crops should make arrange
ments for a no-till drill as early as
possible. Last year over 500 acres
of no-till fall grains and cover crop
were successfully planted in Dau
phin County. Early plantings were
usually most successful, but late
plantings will usually be equal to
or better than late conventional
Avian Influenza Outbreak In China
CHICAGO, 11. The first out
break of Avian Influenza ever
reported in China occurred recen
tly in a Beijing chicken egg laying
farm and “spread from one house
to the next like dominos until over
400,000 birds were infected,”
Timothy S. Chang, PhD, of Michi
gan State University reported to
the 124th annual meeting of the
American Veterinary Medical
Association (AVMA).
“Because the disease was unfa
miliar to staff veterinarians, it was
not diagnosed for two weeks, and
by then all birds on the farm had
been infected,” Chang reported.
Diseased birds were all destroyed
and incinerated with the assistance
of military personnel and
equipment
The unprecedented outbreak
occured when 1,000 pet birds

seedings and the risk of erosion is
reduced as well.
Myers continued by indicating
that current ASCS cost-sharing
programs in Dauphin County do
include no-till planting with grain
drills. For further information in
Dauphin County contact ASCS by
calling 652-8401. Requests for
cost-sharing should be made well
in advance of actual planting.
In summary Myers indicated
that weed control in no-till crops
will be emphasized in no-till prog
rams. He added that good weed
control is needed to obtain top
yields with no-till plantings. This
can only be achieved by identify
ing existing weed problems and
developing a program to control
those problem weeds. For further
information on no-till planting
contact Joel Myers by calling
564-6155.
imported from another Asian
nation were temporarily housed in
a vacant building ten feet away
from the laying house. For some
reason, these pet birds had not
gone through poultry quarantine
procedures.
“These pet birds started to die
of a respiratory disease almost
immediately after their arrival.
Fortunately, Avian Influenza did
not spread to nearby chicken
breeder flocks, turkey breeders,
and commercial broiler farms,”
Chang reported.
China was the number one poul
try production nation before World
War 11. It is believed that Avian
Influenza might have appeared in
Asia, possibly even in China,
before this outbreak, but it was not
officially recorded and reported in
Chinese poultry archives.
The A VMA, based in the Chica
go suburb of Schaumburg, is the
professional association of 'the
nation’s 44,000 veterinarians.
Over 300 scientific presentations
were made at the July annual meet
ing, the largest gathering of veter
inarians in North America.
