Proper Fertility Depends
On Amount, Time
WESTMINSTER, Md.
Proper nitrogen fertility depends
upon the amount and time of
application. If too little or too
much nitrogen is applied, or if it
is applied at the wrong time,
many pest problems are made
worse.
However, many weed and dis-

The Dairy Jubilee is an annual
event held to promote the use of
dairy products to Penn State stu
dents and faculty and to promote
a positive image for Penn State’s
Dairy Science Club and Pennsyl
vania dairy farmers.
The event was broadcast live
on two television stations.
The Dairy Club especially
thanks the Pennsylvania Dairy
Promotion Program which helped
sponsor the event and to Erin

for their participation.
ease problems are minimized
greatly when proper applications
are made. Nitrogen is important
for a dense lawn that resists weed
encroachment and recovers rapid

What effect does nitrogen
have on the groundwater that
goes into your well and potential

ground water pollution exists
only where high rates of soluble
nitrogen are applied to sandy
soils having a high water table: .•
The proper timing and
amounts of fertilizer are impor

•September—one pound of
nitrogen per 1000 square feet
•October—one pound of nitro

•November—one pound of
nitrogen per 1000 square feet
The following fertilizers will
give one pound of nitrogen:

Ayrshire Breeders’
Meeting Reminder
BRATTLEBORO, Vt. In an attempt to
generate comment and discussion by rank and
file members of the Ayrshire Breeder’s Associa
tion, the national organization has scheduled
several forums at large shows and events across
the country.
The purpose of the forums is to help the breed
association develop its short- and long-term
goals, as established through a consensus of
opinion by breeders.
The association recently sent out a news
release from its headquarters in Batdeboro, Vt,
reminding breeders of the forum scheduled to be
held during the North American Livestock
Exposition (NAILE), in St. Louis. Mo.
According to the news release, the forum is
scheduled to be held from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., tyov.
7, at the expo center grounds, with more specific
details available at the site.
“We will discuss what was said during the
•open forum at World Dairy Expo in Madison,”
said Jim McConnell, president of ABA, in the
statement
“We will pose many of the same questions to
these Ayrshire breeders (who attend NAILE):
Where should the breed be in five yean? In 10
years? What is the most important role of the
association? How can more rapid genetic gains
be achieved?”
According to McConnell, the forums are
extremely important to Ayrshire breeders. “We
are deciding where we want the Ayrshire breed
to be, and the best people to do that are the breed
crs. I look foward to hearing all of their
comments.”
