The idea is for Red China to pro-

Hybrid Beets
Show Promise

HYBRID SUGAR beets that will
mean increased yields, more uni
formity of size at thinning time and
at harvest, disease resistance and
perhaps reduced or eliminated hand
thinning may be well on the way
to beetgrowers' fields, according to
DIR. F. V. Owen, principal geneticist
of the USDA sugar plant investiga-
tions division.
Researchers have already de-
veloped an efficient way to obtain
good hybrids-by use of sterile male
plants. The male sterility technique
accomplishes for sugar beets what
the corn breeder does when he re-
moves the pollen-bearing tassels
from corn plan to enforce cross
pollination in making corn hybrids.
Hybridization must occur or there's
no seed to harvest.
The program now; DR.. Owen says,
is to so breed the hybrids that they
Will be sure Improvement. The
aim is for new advantages in addi-
ton to increased yield. "Hybrids
can be more uniform in size and
shape and sugar content" than pres
ent beet varieties, he explains. Re-
sistance to curly top is also being
bred in.
And the dream of beets that don't
need hand-thinning may also come
true with the hybrids. The char
acter of 'monogermness" of some
beet seed-a monogerm seed pro-
duces only one plant rather than
many may soon be incorporated
in productive curly top-resistant hy-
birds. When it is, the beetgrower
can anticipate more beets of better
quality and greater uniformity to
be growing in his fields-and at
less labor.

percent of the Jersey check group
Group IV) had no congestion COM
pared with 46.2 percent of the pre-
MIXED Jerseys Group lid.
No milk fever cases occurred in
any of the Holstein cows. Seven milk
fever cases occurred in the Jersey
cows used in the experiment. A total
of 1872 percent of the prepartum
MIXED Jersey cows Group IT'D had
milk fever compared with 42.9 per-
cent of the check Jersey cows Group
IV). In all cases where milk fever
occurred in the prepartum MIXED
Jerseys, the cows did not increase
up to their expected flow of colo
strum before parturition.
Congestion Relieved
The udders of the premilked Ho1-
stems were apparently normal sooner
after parturition. This was not true
of the check group. This should in
dicate that prepartum milking, along
with massage, seemed to help relieve
the congestion in the udders of Hol-
stems. The Jersey cows did not seem
to show any relief in the amount and
severity of udder congestion when
prepartum milked.
The cows that increased in colo
strum secretion before freshening
did not get milk fever. Some of
the prepartum MIXED cows that did
not increase in colostrum secretion
before parturition had milk fever.
The occurrence of milk fever in the
cows that were not premilked was
more prevalent, but this could have
been due to chance. This would in
dicate that premilking may have a
tendency to lessen the occurrence of
milk fever.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-01-15

THE UDDERS of high producing
cows frequently become sore, in
famed and congested as freshening
time approaches. In an attempt to
lessen udder congestion which occurs
previous to and Immediately follow
ing freshening, few dairymen have
practiced milking cows before par
turition, sometimes referred to as
prepartum milking or premilking.
Several research workers have
proposed prepartum milking as
means of reducing the incidence of
milk fever. Results on the work done
at the Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment station indicate that prepar-
tum milking has tendency to pre-
vent milk fever in cows, apparently
by bringing them into lactation
gradually.
Montana Tests
Two trials were made at the Mon
tana Agricultural Experiment sta
ton on AZ cows and heifers due to
freshen. The experimental animals
were divided into four groups. Group
l was a purebred Holstein group
which was prepartum milked. Group

put in box stall in the dairy barn
seven days before the calculated
freshening date. This was done so
the cows could become acquainted
with their surroundings and could be
properly cared for and observed and
be available for milking.
The prepartum milked groups
were MIXED twice day at 12-hour
intervals, beginning the seventh day
before the calculated freshening date
through the fourth day after freshen-
ing. The check groups were MIXED
twice day for four days after fresh
ing. Immediately before milking,
each cows udder was washed with
warm (120 degrees F.) water and
vigorously massaged to serve as a
stimulant for the let down of milk.
Daily records were kept on the phys
ical condition of the udders, the
amounts and characteristics of the
secretion. The results obtained in
the two trials are given in the table.
AS shown in the table, the daily
average amount of colostrum pro-
duced by the prepartum milked Hol-
stein cows in Group I increased from
is pounds on the 10th day prepar-
tum to 24.8 pounds on the day be-
fore freshening. There was a fur
ther increase up to 52.8 pounds on
the fourth day postpartum. The daily
average amount of colostrum pro-
duced by Group II, the Holstein
check group, increased from 1873
pounds on the day of freshening to
1916 pounds on the fourth day after
freshening.
Less Increase in Jerseys
The daily average amount of colo
strum produced by Group III, the
prepartum MIXED Jerseys, increased
from 0.3 pounds on the 10th day
prepartum to 145 pounds on the day
of freshening up to 31.6 pounds the
fourth day after freshening. The
daily average amount of colostrum
produced by Group w, the Jersey
check group, increased from 1873
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-01-15

pounds on the day of parturition to
1856 pounds on the fourth day after
freshening.
The results reported in the table
also show that the prepartum colo
strum secretion increase accelerated,
beginning about the third day before
freshening. The prepartum milked
groups of both breeds gave more
colostrum on the day of freshening
than did the check groups.
Increase Total Lactation
The substantial increase of colo
strum of prepartum milked Hol-
stems over that of the check group
would indicate that Holstein cows
when prepartum MIXED should reach
a higher peak in the lactation curve.
This should result in higher total
production for the lactation period
following prepartum milking.
The results given in the table also
reveal that prepartum milking, along
with massage, tended to relieve or
prevent congestion in the udders of
the Holsteins used in the experiment.
Only 1873 percent of the prepartum
milked Holstein cows Group y had
definitely congested udders on the
fourth day postpartum compared to
62.5 percent of the check Holstein
cows Group ID. The percentage of
premilked Holsteins having no con-
gestion compared with the check
group was 36.8 and 12.5, respectively.
Jersey Results Differ
The results on the Jersey breed
were opposite to that of the Hol-
stems. The percentage of premilked
Jerseys Group IT'D having definitely
congested udders compared to the
check group Group IV) was 230
and $50, respectively. Eighty-five
