De Laval’ concentrated
cleaners last 30% longer.
With De Laval’s concentrated dairy cleaners and sanitizers,
you may get nearly a third more washes per gallon. And as much
as 30% savings on your cleaning bill
Less-concentrated cleaners often contain unnecessary water
or filler. Blit water and filler are no help at all when you get down
to serious cleaning You have to use more of their cleaner Which
means more work More frequent trips to your dealer. And more
of your cleaning dollars down the drain.

Roland Singy, of Switzerland,
is the retired head of the Animal
Breeding Station in Grangeneuve
and the chief executive of the
Holstein Association of
Switzerland.
Singy was instrumental in the
acceptance of the Holstein Frie
sian cow in Alpine Europe.
In the 19S0*s, the Black and
White (Fribourg) breed, a dual
purpose breed related to Simmen
tal, had severe breeding problems.
The breed then made up about one
percent of Switzerland’s cattle
population.
Singy strongly supported a new
breeding philosophy that used
Canadian and United States
semen. This eventually resulted in
more Black and White cattle,
steady productivity growth and
increased production.
From 1972, Singy traveled
yearly to North America to select
bulls for Swiss semen import. His
goal was to eventually replace the
Black and White cattle with Hols
teins. His sampling program of
Swiss-bred bulls is highly
respected in Switzerland and
internationally.
Singy’s leadership extended to
service as executive secretary of
the Fribourg Holstein Association.
He established the Dairy Expo in
Bulle and managed it up to his
retirement in 1990.
Singy served as director of the
Swiss Artificial Insemination
Association, the KSV (Swiss
association for cattle, semen and
embryo export) and the Swiss E.T.
Association. Singy is also very
involved in the community activi
ties of Villars-sur-Glane where he

War On
Mosquitoes
ANNAPOLIS, Md.
Maryland Secretary
of Agriculture Robert
L. Walker announced
that Maryland Depart
ment of Agriculture is
stepping up its mos
quito war on the Lower
Eastern Shore in
response to heavy rains
which threaten to pro
duce a bumper crop of
mosquitoes.
Governor William
Donald Schaefer said,
“I am pleased that the
Maryland Department
of Agriculture is mov
ing quickly to head off
this problem. Mosqui
toes are a real pest and
pose a nuisance to peo
ple, livestock, and
pels.”
Mosquito popula
tions on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland are
likely to increase great
ly. Recently, rainfall
amounts on the Eastern
Shore exceeded four
inches and have caused
flooding in salt marsh
and upland mosquito
breeding sites.
A concerted effort by
the Maryland Depart
ment of Agriculture to
control the larvae at the
source is under way,
utilizing all available
gound equipment and
aircraft. Aerial spraying
has been hindered by
the poor flying condi
tions, but will intensify
as the weather improves
and adult mosquitoes
begin to emerge and fly
in search of a blood
meal.
All participating
county, city, and com
munity control prog
rams can expect to see
increased spraying to
reduce mosquito annoy
ance. Aerial spraying to
reduce large mosquito
populations is likely to
occur on the lower East
ern Shore in the coming
weeks.

homeowners may con
