CONDITIONS
Farmers Should
Exercise Dairy Cows
EDWARD J. WOODS
Washington Co. Agent
I know that many of our dairy
farmers keep their milking cows
confined to the stall bams much of
the lime. This is easy to do when
you are short of labor during the
winter months.
In order to have a healthy herd,
the cows should be allowed out
side to exercise daily unless severe
weather conditions exist. The
exercise will not only keep their
feet and legs in better condition,
but will permit the cows in heat to
be detected that is often a prob
lem when cows arc kept confined
too much of the time.
If the herd is turned out for 15 to
30 minutes each day, the time
involved will be very worthwhile.
You’ll find very few days when the
weather will interfere.
Knock Out Those
Alfalfa Weeds
Winter weeds in our alfalfa
fields are every bit as predictable
as summer weeds are in com and
soybeans.
Colder weather is here and hay
fields are dormant We now have a
choice to use different herbicides,
depending largely on the kinds of
weeds present that need to be
knocked out.
The most commonly found
winter annuals at this lime include
chickweed and the four mustard
weeds—shepherds purse, pepper
weed, pennycress, and yellow
leesll

rocket. Also, expect to see see
dlings of other weeds plus some
tough perennials, too. It pays to
know your weeds before selecting
the herbicide.
Check the “Agronomy Guide”
and read the label on the container
or package. There arc directions
and limitations to get the job done
right in the next six weeks.
Evergreens Drop Some Of
Their Needles During Fall
Don’t worry if your evergreens
drop some of their needles during
the fall.
This is because pines, spruces,
and similar evergreens usually
start dropping one year’s growth of
needles during September and
continue well into October.
In Scotch pines, the 3-year-old
needles turn yellowish and then
fall off. The red pine usually drops
its 4-year-old needles, while the
white pine normally keeps only 1
or 2 year’s growth of needles.
Don’t be concerned if your ever
greens have dropped or are still
dropping needles. The needles
which arc lost are those nearest the
center of the tree. The younger,
green needles remain at the ends of
the branches.
While this shedding operation is
in progress, the trees often appear
to be dead or dying. However, as
soon as they are exposed to a hard
wind or heavy rain, the old needles
arc knocked to the ground and the
trees again appear normal.
