Your County Agent Says A common problem in fall planted grains are weeds such as mustard, pigweed, lambsquarter. etc. To pro duce a good quality storable crop, these weeds should be controlled. An early spring application of 2-4.D. will eliminate these weed prob lems. At a low cost per acre producers can be assured of good clean storable grain which is an important consi deration Weed seeds, lea ves. etc., in grain causes moisture and heat which is the environment most sui table for grain weavil and mokl , . . Many operators will be calving soon, which brings to mind one of our major causes of losses in our cattle ■ calf scours. If you have calved on the same ground for many years and experienced prob lems with calf scours, better look for another calving ground. Many of the or ganisms that cause calf scours live over in the seal. If the cows udder is covered from this contaminated soil, that first meal the calf gets contains the agent to cause scours even before the colostrum milk from the cow gives the calf any natural resistance to the disease. • • • Some of our problems in livestock management are due to inadequate nutrition For example; a cow low on phosphorus will not cycle properly during breeding season. So if you have a lol of late calving cows you should check the phosphorus she gets in her diet. A simple mineral supplement such as steamed bone meal contain ing phosphorus will usually fill her needs. Ewe paralysis in your flock can usually he kept in check by feeding those ewes a small amount of grain as they near lambing Of course, there is nearly always the possibility of disease in your heard. You should check with your veterinarian about this possi bility.
