Boy-Calf Relationship Aids Growth
And Maturity Of Both Youth, Animal
OF KENT COUNTY

Remember the old sayin G
about giving a boy calf? The
theory is that if he picks the
calf up in his arms every day,
when it gets to be a 1000 pound
bull he will have develop e d
along with the animal so that
he can still pick his bull up in
his arms.
While this is probably a mild
exaggeration, as with most folk
stories, there is a tread of truth
behind it. A boy with a heifer
calf very shortly becomes, by
necessity, a man with a COW,
since a heifer calf becomes a
COW in a matter of a couple of
years. So, although he may not
be able to throw his cow over
his shoulder, he is very likely
to have developed the sense of
responsibility that is implied by
the old myth.

search findings relating ketosls,
a cattle disease, with the level
of insulin-like material in the
blood, at the annual American

Richards said the results show
that COWS suffering from ketosis
do have lower level of insulin-
like activity in their blood than
do healthy cows. However, tests
of healthy but under fed cows
also showed lower levels of in
sulin-like activity. So the ques.

Weekly Luncheons
Aiding Fieldmen
In Insect Fight

Insects and diseases had bet
ter beware of farmers, food pro-
cessors, and Extension special
lists in Delaware! Each week a
luncheon is held at Harrington,
to advise growers and fieldmen
on control measures to be used
in combating insects infesting
Delaware crops. Chemical, cul-
tural, and physical controls are
explained by the University of
Delaware Extension staff con-
sisting of DR.. Dale F. Bray and
Professor Donald MacCreary of
the Entomology Department, DR..
j. w. Heuberger, Plant Patho-
logy Department; and Robert F.
Stevens of the Horticulture De-
partment.
Specimens of in sects and
plants damaged by insects and
diseases are brought to the lun-
cheon in the Wonder-R Restau-
rant in Harrington. Informal is
the atmosphere, insect and di-
sease control is the subject, and
decreased losses due to insects
and diseases is the result. The
possibility of contamination due
to chemical residues is always
stressed. Constant advice is
given on using the correct chem
ical insecticides and herbicides,
at the right amounts, recon-
mended rates, and the correct
time before and after harvest.
The weekly meetings have
been very successful in detect
ing insect infestations early.
This facilitates rapid, effective
control, resulting in little or no
losses due to insects and di-
seases.
