By Max Smith
1still carrying the chill of
winter, alfalfa growers are
urged to get out into the al-
falfa field and look for wee-
vils; numerous reports to our
Extension Office reveal these
insects to be feeding on al-
falfa plants noi more than 6
inches high; the mild winter
might be blamed for the ear-
ly activity of the weevils and
the several spells of extreme-
ly warm weather during the
past several weeks. With the
WITH the northwest winds' normal harvest time several
weeks ahead, these insects
will do serious damage to
the alfalfa plants if an insec-
ticide is not applied when
half or more of the plants are
showing evidence of damage.
A publication on the control
of these insects is available
upon request,

THE BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, PA.
a greater return per .acre
from their land. Not that the
corn was not a good crop for
them, but by putting it into
their livestock they feel they
did not get a very good price
for their corn crop. When we
begin to look for crops that
will return a greater profit
per acre than corn in this
part of the county, we do not
find very many. Even though
the corn grower may not
want to feed the crop to his
livestock, he might continue
to grow this adapted crop
and sell it this fall, rather
than to put it through live-
stock. Corn yields are on the
increase, if and when the
weatherman cooperates.
IT'S SOON corn planting
time in Lancaster County and
this “King of the Crops” con-
tinues to play a very impor-
tant part in the agricultural
economy. We urge growers
to take the time to prepare
the soil and plant the crop
carefully in order to get max-
imum yields per acre. The
corn planter is a very accur-
ate machine when properly !
adjusted, and if the operator
will drive slow enough for
its mechanism to operate as
manufactured. I fear that
many corn planters are raced
back and forth across a field
so fast that planting accur-
acy cannot be expected. With
the costs of inputs getting
higher each year to grow
most crops, It is only good
management to do the job
thoroughly in order to get
maximum return. Planting
rates should be checked care-:
fully to be certain the right
population is obtained: al-
lowances for plant mortality
from insects, birds, poor ger-
mination, and ete. should be
made toward the goal of get-
ting the desired population’

in mature plants.
| THE MAKING of small grain
crops into silage is one of
the best methods of getting
the most feed value per acre.
The first of these crops to
be harvested will be winter
rye; growers are advised to
cut the growth of rye when
in the late boot to heading
stage of development; pala-
tability decreases as the crop
matures beyond this stage.
Other small grains such as
wheat, barley, or oats should
be ensiled in the flower stage
for best feeding quality.
| Small grains, like other gras-
| ses, make the best silage
| when not more than 70 per-
cent moisture; thus condi-
tioning and wilting early cut
small forage prior to ensiling
is recommended.

plays were three - dimension-

We can imagine how much
fun the children and their
teacher had, gathering ideas
with which to ‘“make” the
names!
Wonder what they would
have done if a teacher had
been named ‘“Heisey’’; would
they have put the letter “Z”
up on a mountain peak, per-
haps? Or have set a can of
