dangerous for dairy cattle herds by charles warner i have recently seen large numbers of dairv cattle graz ing ihe luah gieen lass floor of a local apple orehuid this was not through error mme the cattle slaved loi sevenil days orchaid are one ol the plat es where chemical pesticides are usually found in laige quau titles this is due to the fan thai large quantities ol ehem icals are usd in oiehaids and that the shaded conditions keep ihe suns rays from break ing down ihe chemical iei dues the result is that theie is always a residue on or in the grass on ihe floor of an orch ard this may even be true if ihe t re hard hadnl been sprav ed vet this year the problem is that dairy cows will pick up small quanti lies ol materials such is ddt and put this in iheir milk health inspectors who may find this material in ihe milk must cut a farmer of i i rum selling his milk ll may take quite a while before the milk from these cows is fit lo he sold again the best advice for dairy fanners is to aever ue an or chard as a pasture aiea and ne ver cut hay from an orchard also you should not feed any vegetable wastes that have been sprayed with several of our chemical insecticides dont pleat ignorance of the law as an excuse if caught it wont woik the damage has been done just dont take a chance mm wmuwmt long wait for short march continued from paqe bj between them the ii c c
