See if some part of the stall prevents the normal lunge. This can be a wall or partition. Also look for “rub” marks where animals have repeat edly rubbed portions of stall struc ture in their efforts to rise. Neck rails poorly positioned can inter fere with rising. Installing brisket boards to keep animals back, opening up fronts of stalls, or using dividers which allow cows to put their heads to one side are all means to SALISBURY, Md. The Mid-Atlantic Soybean Associa tion is almost 25 years old. The charter, binding four states together as a regional affiliate of the American Soybean Associa tion, was signed on March 24, I^o. about two months ahead of the silver anniversary date, members of the association will mark the event at their annual meeting Jan. 12 at the Sheraton Inn Conference Center in Dover, Del. The meeting will be held in conjunction with the Delmarva Corn/Soybean and Vegetable Conference slated for Jan. 12 and New Members May allow the normal lunging motion to take place. This article can not begin to cover all the specific factors which go into stall comfort. If you do not routinely see 70 percent or more of your cows lying in stalls during quiet times of the day, then you can be sure that something is not right. Remember, if they were in a clean pasture they would all lie down. We want our stalls to dupli cate that clean pasture as much as possible. Soybean Association Sets Meeting It was founded to promote the production and use of soybeans and soybean products. Headquartered now in an office in Salisbury, Md., under the direc tion of Jerry Kennedy, MASA’s first office was on the College Park campus of the University of Maryland, and its “resident agent” was the late Joe Newcomer, a Uni versity of Maryland extension agronomist. The list of members of the association’s first board of direc tors and the signers of the articles of incorporation reads like a “who’s who” of Mid-Atlantic agriculture. In addition to Newcomer, the The MASA meeting will con vene at 3:30 p.m., shortly after the adjournment of the regular corn and soybean conference program, and will include a brief special anniversary observance. The guest speaker will be John Baize, formerly director of the Washington office of the Ameri can Soybean Association and now international trade consultant to the National Oilseed Processors’ Association. The association joins soybean producers, researchers and others in the industry from Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and Penn sylvania.
