C. Blaney says experiments prove that flies are only a minor cause of the drop In production The milk decline year is attributed at this time of to hot weather, and reduced feed consumption. When temperatures rise, the respiration rate of the cow increases In an attempt to regulate body temperature, and a high res piration rate is favorable to heavy milk production. At the same time, a cow will seek thade and comfort instead of being Inclined to hustle not graze long on hot days Providing cow comfort will help maintain milk production during August. Here are four suggestions: 1. Have plenty of fresh water available at all times. 2. Bupplement short pastures with hay. silage, or green feed, 3. Feed grain, especially to high production cows 4. Cows like a cool, shady place to lle down and rest. If none is avails able, bring them to the barn dur. ing the heat of the day. . ‘Warns Scarcity of Clover, Alfalfa County Agent Blaney Urges Farmers to Scrutinize Fields for Seed Because of the serious clover and alfalfa seed situation, Centre county farmers are urged by County Agent R.
