Farmers Warned On
Blackleg Outbreaks

A spring-time warning for cattle
owners to be alert against out
breaks of blackleg at this season
of the year was issued lerc today
by the American Foundation for
Animal Health.
MANY farmers think blackleg
strikes only in the fall, but it often
causes heavy losses in the spring,
too, and can also occur at other
times of the year, the Foundation
said.
Foundation officials said having
young cattle vaccinated against
blackleg is the best way to insure
against blackleg losses. Vaccina-
ton should be done before cattle
are turned out to pasture this
spring. Normally, such vaccination
should be done when calves are
more than three months of age.
Blackleg kills quickly, often
within IL to 48 hours. 1t may be
mistaken for malignant edema,
anthrax, hemorrhagic gepticemia,
sweet clover poisoning and other
abnormal conditions. Therefore,
the Foundation suggests veterin-
ary diagnosis as an insurance mea-
SIRE, whenever blackleg outbreak
IS suspected.
First symptoms of the disease in
clude acute lan1eness, depression
and fever. Swellings, which first
are hot and painful, appear in the
muscles of the animals hip,
chest, back or neck.

of aldrin or heptachlor is mixed
with 100 pounds of seed.
Grasshoppers have a pretty
general distribution and may re-
quire control measures on field
margins and complete cover on
some crop locations.
Crops having green, succulent
foliage - spray two ounces of
aldrin, or III pounds of toxa-
phene, or one chloradane per
acre. For wheat, barley, alfalfa,
and wasteland, one ounce per
acre of dieldrin has been federal
ly approved. On crops with a dry,
mature foliage, use of two ounces
of aldrin per acre.. For newly
seeded crop margins, for protec-
ton this fall, use two to three
ounces of aldrin per acre.
For range, spray two ounces OF
aldrin per acre, or dieldrin at the
rate of one-half to one ounce
per acre.
Do not feed forage treated with
any of these chemicals to dairy
animals or to animals being fin
ished for slaughter. Do not
treat hay with aldrin IS or less
days before harvest; dieldrin, 80
days or less; toxaphene, 40 days
or less; and heptachlo, 7 days or
less.
Aldrin, dieldrin and chloro-
dane are extremely toxic to
honeybees. Toxaphene is some
what less toxic.
Sprays used for alfalfa at this
time of year may be used to pro-
tect seed crops from lygus bugs
and thrips.

2. Spray in the bloom stage, if
needed, using two pounds of
toxaphene per acre. This
will also control grasshop-
pers. At this stage, the tox-
aphene will do less damage
to the honeybees than other
chemicals.
Farmers are cautioned to read
carefully the recommendations
and the precautions written on
the containers of the chemicals
used.
Study RAD Foundations
Carefully
Each year we receive reports of
injury to gardens and trees from
2,4-D weed spray. Tomatoes are
especially sensitive to 2,4-D but,
of course, all broad-leaved gar
den plants and broad-leaved or
namentals are subject to in
jury. The formulation of 2,4-D
to be used should be given Sc
rious consideration when plants
subject to 2,4-D injury are To-
Gated near by. High volatile
2,4-D esters are particularly dam
gerous to use near susceptible
plants because this formulation
is extremely volatile. In other
words, the fumes given off by
the ester formulation of 2,4-D
can be injurious to broad-leaved
plants growing some distance
away from the point at which
the spray is being directly ap-
piled. We have known of cases
where broad-leaved crops have
been injured one fourth of a
mile away from grain fields
which were being sprayed with
2,4-D high volatile ester. OF course,
the direction OF the wind at the
time of spraying has a lot to do
with the movement of the fumes.
There are low volatile esters
on the market which are not so
dangerous as far as fume kills
are concerned. The safest form
of 2,4-D to use, however, where
broad-leaved plants r growing
near by is the 2,4-D anime form
ulation. The anime formulation
has very low volatility and its
killing effect is much slower
than the ester formulation. 1t
will, though, do the weed control
job just as well as the ester, al
though slightly higher rates
must be used.
In the irrigated valley, where
broad-leaved crops, gardens, and
ornamentals are prevalent, and
if 2,4-D is to be used for broad |
leaved weed control, the anime
formulation should certainly be
given first consideration. This also
holds true in the dryland area
where susceptible crops or or
namentals are growing near the
spray area.

Containers for Freezing
The prime purpose of packaging
is to keep food from drying out
and to preserve food value, flavor,

All containers should be easy to

so brittle at low temperatures that
they crack.
To retain highest quality in

Recommendations o the COnLr0l
OF Some Of the Current Bugs
Webworms on sugar beets are
a problem on some fields. Our
book says to use Endrin at the
rate of $40 of a pound per acre.
The plants must be completely
wet, SO plan to use enough water
to do it. Reports are that this is
doing a good job.
Another preparation that will
work is two pounds of toxaphene
plus a quarter pound of parathion
per acre. Parathion is a bad &C
tor and special precautions must
be taken to handle it.
We have some reports of sugar
beet root maggot in local fields.
A seed or soil treatment could
have been used earlier, but we
are told by the entomologists
that measures taken now are not
sure to be effective due to the
depth in their soil. Early APP
plication recommended include a
soil treatment where three pounds
of aldrin, dieldrin, or heptachlor
per acre Is worked into the soil
