Farm Improvement For 1967
Richard B. Gary, CAA
The soil is a good place to
start farm income improvement
for 1967. A soil inventory should
include a close study of the
acres to be farmed or grazed
since soils may vary in their
productive capacity and adapta-
bility lo crops
Cows: Before high milk pro-
duction can bo expected, it’s
necessary to have the genetic
potential for high production
bred into cows, explains Coun-
ty Agent Richard Gary.

tial, then it’s up to the dairy-

County Agent, Therfor. dairy-
men should be selective i n
their choice of bulls. The most
reliable information available
on a sire is his AI daughter-
herdmate predicted difference.
It more accurately indicates
his transmitting abiliy for pro-
duction than way of the pre-
viously accepted methods.
The cow herd can contribute
very little to the total genetic
improvement of the herd. For
this reason, and because of the
high preeent of herd replace-
ment required each year, it is
strongly recommended that all
cows and all replacement heif-
ers be bred to good, carefully |
selected dairy bulls; preferably
of the same breed predomin-
antly represented by the fe-
; male.
After all, the county agent
points out, that if the breeding
program is what it should be,
iiome grown herd replacemen
should be better genetic ma-
terial for mothers of future
herd replacements than the
older cows in he herd.
In the Cake Cutting ceremony the
girls of group Oga - Nyo - Da, under
the direction of Mrs. Opan Whisen-
ant, circled the cake and presented
it to the council members at the head
table.

HOW'S FISHING
Catching more moss and waterweeds than fish?
Are you catching mostly mud-cat and perch?
If your answers are yes.............
YOU HAVE A SICK POND
uu'iWJ..;
There are many types of waterweeds. Go by your Soil Conservation Ser-
vice office or County Agent’s office for information as to what treatment
is needed to control the waterweeds in your pond.
If your pond is overstocked to the point that all fish caught are small, or
if your pond is full of mud-cat and perch, the best thing to do is kill all
fish and re-stock with desirable fish. When temperature reaches 65 de-
grees or higher ust* 5 y>ounds of 5 percent rotenone powder to each acre-
foot of water. Fish killed by this method are safe to eat if dressed soon
after being killed.
Proper fertilization of new ponds will help to control waterweeds.
Fertilize until warm weather or until water is turbid enough to make White
disk invisible when submerged to a depth of 18".
