In beef cattle. The crossbred calves excelled In birth weight, average dally gain, weaning weight at SX days, and weaning confor mation score. AKS and Nebraska Agricultur al Experiment Station scientists are using Angus. Hereford and Shorthorn breeds In their studies of heterosis at the Fort Robinson Beef Cattle Research Station. Bulls of each breed are mated to cows of their own breed as well as to cows of the other two breeds to produce stralghthmls and all possible crosses. The ef f.vts of heterosis are measured by comparing the average traits rf the crosstrcds with the aver age traits of the stralghtbreds. The scientist are evaluating pre-weanlng and poMwcanlng jTrowth rate, llvabllity of calves, fee I efficiency, and carcass traits in the first phase of the exin-rl- ment.

In the first place, these areas are a continuing source of blowing, spreading weed seeds that invade valuable cropland. They also provide cover for insects and rodents, and fre quently present a serious fire hazard. Easy, effective control "program" One spray of Atrazine80W or Simazine 80W herbicide can give you effective control of a great many broadleaf weeds and grasses. Contrast the ad vantages of a one-step "program" with the other weed control methods . . . mowing, discing, burning, or short term control with other chemicals. Such methods force you to work at weed control month after month. Atrazine or Simazine provides long lasting weed control through the sea son. They keep on working. You don't Weeds controlled Atrazine and Simazine control a wide range of annual broadleaf weeds and grasses and some perennials. Among them are tKe following Important problem species: Cheatgrass, ryegrass, tarweed, Russian thistle, foxtail, quack- grass, mustard and puncture vine. When to use Ceigy herbicides Atrazine can be applied before weeds break ground, or after they emerge. It attacks through both roots and foliage. Simazine, however, works through weed roots and should be applied before weeds are up. Because there's little or no foliar activity, Simazine presents virtually no drift hazard when applied near growing crops. Both Atrazine and Simazine should be applied at a time when rainfall can normally be expected ... to move the herbicide into the weed root zone.
