Summer Cow-Calf Herd Management

roots up to the leaves where it evaporates and cools the air. Cattle wiM spend more time grazing and gain better if adequate shade is available. So, Nelson suggests, if the herd is not in a wood pasture portable pole type shades should be provided. A supply of clean, fresh water in the pastures >s also essential. «

Water consumption and daily gains will improve if the water tank is placed in the shade, the animal scientist says. During the spring, cattle can synthesize and store large amounts of vitamin A from carotene in lush pastures. But during long hot and dry periods the stored vitamin A may be depleted since very little of it can be synthesized from dry pasture. Nelson suggests that it will pay under these conditions to give supplemental vitamin A by mixing it with concentrates or by providing protein blocks containing this vitamin. Cows nursing calves require about 40,000 international units daily per animal and calves need at least 6,000 units of vitamin A daily to make normal gains during a hot summer. When pastures dry up creep feeding calves will result in additional pounds at weaning, Nelson says. If pastures are dry during the breeding season cows will need supplemental energy to maintain weight and .conceive readily.

Local Farmers Now Receiving Farm Set-Aside Payments Approximately 1220 farmers in Kosciusko county have been forwarded farm set-aside program payments totaling $1,200,000 since the first of July according to Lucile K. Weaver, county executive director for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS). It is expected the major part of the payments will be issued this month. Nationwide, approximately 750,000 cotton, feed grain and wheat producers were mailed a total of SBSO million in expedited preliminary payments in early July. . Payments under the set-aside programs are made to farmers who agree to set aside part of their land from production in order to meet a national objective of balancing supply and demand in certain commodities. These payments help to off-set the loss of returns from cropland that otherwise would be used for in-come-yielding production, and on which the farmer is obligated to continue to pay taxes and apply needed conservation steps, according to officials of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Payments to producers are limited to $55,000 per person for each of three crops — feed grain, wheat, and cotton — under the Agricultural Act of 1970. Nationally total payments are expected to be about $3.7 billion. Total 1972 farm set-aside program payments in Kosciusko county are expected to be about $2 million. Preliminary payments to wheat producers are limited by law to 75 per cent of final payments. Final wheat certificate payments will be made after December 1.

facts about § ‘OUR TOWN* Milford, Ind.

By JERI SEELY A rock? When Elmer Zimmerman found the above pictured rock at his gravel pit he decided it was something that should be kept., The rock is shown with a 16 ounce Pepsi bottle- to show it’s size. It is a perfect half sphere with marks around the outside. q In checking with Silas Howard, Jr., a junior high teacher at Warsaw and a resident of Our Town and Carl Kiper, a Wawasee high school teacher, Zimmerman found the rock got it’s unusual shape during the glacier period. The rings were caused as the rock spun on something in the water.

Truly, it makes an unusual keepsake. Work is underway to nearly,, double the office space of the new Ralston Purina plant located a mile north of Our Town.
