~The report of Ray Dick, tester for Luzerne County Cow Testing As-
sociation for the month of June, 1945, shows that 17 herds with 413
cows in milk and 48 dry were on test during the month.
Eight cows were sold for dairy purposes and five for non-dairy pur-
poses. Five cows were bought.
One hundred and sixty-four cows produced over 40 pounds butterfat,
during the month and 65 produced over 50 pounds. There were 161
cows which produced over 1,000 pounds milk and 89 ran over the 1,200
pound mark.

This has been an extremely backward season, according to Mr. Dick,
and a great many dairymen were unable to get all the acreage anticipat-
ed into corn and oats. “I find,” he said, ‘‘some dairymen still have’ this
land unplanted. I would suggest with a little fitting, or possibly if the
field is very weedy, to plow and prepare a firm seed bed and make a
seeding of Ladino, Timothy, and Orchard Grass. It is possible to secure
excellent seedings of this combination by seeding no later than August
15 in Luzerne County. Lime should be added to bring the soil up to a
7 pH and if no manure is available, I' would suggest the application of
at least 400 pounds’ of 4-12-4 be broadcast and thoroughly worked into
the soil previous to seeding. The seed bed should be firmed by either
roller or cultipacker and the following seed mixture be broadcast on one
acre: 8 lbs. Grimms Alfalfa, inocluated; 4 lbs. Timothy; 3 lbs. Orchard
Grass; 1 1b. Ladino. With a successful August seeding you will have an
excellent field to make hay of the following spring.” ;
Small amounts of DDT are available this summer,” Mr. Dick says,
“and some of the dairymen have been able to secure this material. We
had two demonstrations, one at Shoemakers and the other at the Seely
Farm. We used five pounds of this DDT at $1.00 per pound diluted in
25 gallons of water. This amount is suggested for the average size barn.
The walls, ceilings, windows, and stanchions were sprayed with a power
sprayer using a No. 2 size disk in the gun. Sufficient material was ap-
plied at the point where the material started to drop. In a half hour
after this material was applied thousands of flies were found dead or
partially dead due to contact with this chemical.
this week on some barns that have been sprayed showed the number
of flies almost negligible in the barn. If you can secure some of this
DDT, I believe it would be a very fine investment, for contented cows
will produce more milk. One application of this chemical is effective for
a period of three months.” :
