ChickWeed
Real Threat
To Alfalfa

Chickweed, winter annual weed,
is abundant in alfalfa fields in
Montgomery County. The pest
will flower and set weed in the
late Spring. the reverse of most
winter weeds which start growth
in the Spring and die in the Fall.
1T still isn't too late to put on
some chemicals to control chick
weed, states the County Agents
office
The weed reduces yield and
lowers quality in alfalfa, even
ihough most of its growth occurs
when alfalfa is dormant. DIR.
Santelmann says it is most harm
full in new Fall paintings, because
the young alfalfa plants have a
hard time getting established in
heavy stands of chickweed.
An established alfalfa chick
weed can interfere with harvest
operations and lower the quality
of hay because the weed doesn't
dry at the same rate as the alfalfa
when hay is made. Another prob
lem is that the heavy, moist mat
of chickweed on the soil surface
makes good conditions for disease
and insects to live through the
winter and get into the alfalfa.
Two chemicals give effective
control of chickweed, the choice
between them depending mainly
on whether the crop is an alfalfa
grass mixture or a pure stand of
alfalfa. The two chemicals are
CIPC, also known as chloro-IPC,
and dinitro.
The dinitro compound is safest
to use in alfalfa-grass mixtures.
1t is applied at around / to IL
pounds per acre. DR.. Santelmann
says a second treatment is some
times necessary, so he suggests
that farmers watch their fields
to see if any more chickweed
comes on. Also, if there is an
exceptionally heavy mat of chick
weed, at least two treatments of
dinitro may be necessary.
CIPC has given excellent con-
troll of chickweed, but is not rec
commended for use in alfalfa-grass
mixtures because it is somewhat
toxic to grasses. 1t is applied at
the rate of to 2 pounds of the
active ingredient per acre, and is
safe to use on pure stands any
time the alfalfa is dormant.

Are Boon to
Dairy Herds

The management of about 1000
cows in Maryland dairy herds is
being influenced by an electronie
machine that tells farmer more
about his cows than the most OBJ
servant mother knows about her
own child.
These cows are in about 140
Dairy Herd Improvement associ-
alton herds that are enrolled in
an automatic record keeping pro
gram started 10 months ago. 1t is
the first major change in record
keeping methods since the D1IA
program started in the state, ac-
cording to Robert D. Appleman,
University of Maryland extension
dairyman.
DHIA records give information
that is used as basis for Gull
ing low producers, selecting herd
requirements and comparing the
value of available sires.
All these records were com.
puted manually by DHIA super
visors before the automatic sys-
tenn was available. The machine
does the same work formerly
done by hand, but is faster and
more accurate, and in addition
gives some information that is not
available from the manual
method.
This machine has stimulated
much interest in more economi-
cal feeding, Appleman says, since
it makes recommendations on
how much concentrate to give
each COW. This is done by study
ing the amount of milk given, the
percent butterfat, the size of the
cow and how much and what
quality forage she gets each day.
The machine also advises the
dairyman when it is time to dry
off the cow, tells him how many
dollars are spent For feed to pro-
duce 100 pounds of milk and gives
him several measures of feeding
and labor efficiency.
The automatic record keeping
method is available on a volun-
teer basis; any DHIA member
may get the service in place of
the manual method by asking for
it. Interested farmers can get in
formation from county agents or
the supervisor of production test
ing, University of Maryland dairy

A greater number of homes, she
says, are equipped with electric
