Feed Will Prevent
milk Slump

Giving dairy cows supplemental
feed before their bodyweight and
milk production slumps will pay.
Once they drop. it's hard to get
them back up to their former
level.
"You can't blame low produc-
ton entirely on hot weather and
flies," says John Dietrich. Exten-
sion dairyman at the University
Iof Maryland. Low production at
this time Of year usually means
hungry cows.
Bluegrass pastures which have
provided good grazing up to now
are getting short" Dietrich points
out. Even some Of the taller
growing pasture mixtures don't
provide enough feed to insure a
continued high milk flow.
THE cheapest way to keep UP
milk production and the cows
bodyweight Is to feed supple
mental hay in racks out In the
pasture. A bumper hay crop is
indicated for the State. so that
feeding hay will be the most eco
nomical way to supply the extra
feed the cows need"

Rock Phosphate Is Beneficial
As Permanent Soil-Builder

In addition, rock phosphate Is
believed to have a lasting effect
when applied to the soil, feature
helpful in permanent systems OF
farming.
The Virginia Experiment Sta
ton gives these preliminary
answers to the question. How can
rock phosphate be used best?":
Preliminary Answers.
Superphosphate Is superior to
rock phosphate in practically all
cases.
Rock phosphate is not suitable
where a lot Of phosphorus is
needed Immediately.
You can expect satisfactory re-
suits from rock phosphate only If
you use it in large amounts Q.000
to 1000 pounds per acre., and II
you use it to build up permanently
the phosphorus content Of the soil
for longtime usage.
Rock phosphate gives better re-
suits when you mix it thoroughly
with the soil rather than when
you apply it in bands.
Rock phosphate gives better re-
suits in acid soils than on we'll
lined soils.
Rock phosphate gives better re-
suits in a rotated crop system
which includes legumes. Certain
Ilegumes like alfalfa and clovers
are able to use rock phosphate
more effectively than do other
crops.
Where you use rock phosphate
on soils low in phosphate, supple
ment it with superphosphate until
the soil has received adequate
phosphorus.

Berry Paintings
Need Attention

Proper spacing Of new straw
berry runners is an important
factor in production Of high quail
Iity fruit. says Bruce Aroian, associ-
ate horticulturist at VPI.
He says the easiest and most
economical way to handle the new
runner plants. which are now be-
ginning to appear, Is to let them
root as they will until late August
Cultivation at the side Of the rows
will keep the runners from spread
ing out Of the rows and into the
lmiddles. Plants that become toe
thick may be dug out.
To get even distribution OF
plants in a row it is often desirable
to train the new runners by NOV
ing them with a hoe to the space
where the. plants are needed.
The best way to distribute the
runners from a plant is to train
them in all directions so the
mother plant is completely sur
rounded by new growth. Where
Ia plant Is missing, early runners
from nearby plants may be trained
into the empty space to. flll the
row. II the row is filled by late
August with runner plants 6 to 8
inches apart. it is safe to destroy
any late runners.
Mr.. Aroian also advised rasp-
berry and blackberry growers to
check the terminal growth Of the
new shoots in their paintings.
He said the tips Of the new
shoots should be pinched off when
they reach the desired height to
prevent the plants from growing
long, sprawling canes. Pinching
the tips throws the growth into
sturdy side branches, making
sturdy. compact bushes. Head the
black raspberry at about 18 to "a
inches and the purple raspberry
and blackberry about 6 inches
lhi2her.

there isn't any grass, either. In
the summer we have grass, but
the flies poster the cows until
they can't Craze.
Sprays do some good. But there
isn't anything I have found that
will drive away the big green
headed fly or the larger horse fly.
The horse fly can just about take
the hide of a COW and I have
seen cows run like race horses to
get into a stable.
The horse fly won't 60 indoors.
so a cow under a shed Is safe
from him. But there are other
stable flies that can worry an
animal almost to distraction and
both DDT and methoxychlor are
losing their effect with each new
fly generation.

I could do with few less flies.
