Light And Production (Town and Country Tips by Dave Plocher) PAGE 9 - PLAINDE ALER - FRIDAY, APRIL 4, I960 THE MARKi ISKET Evangelistic Crusade Planned Early research suggests lighting your dairy barn in winter may increase your herd's milk production and weight gain. When Michigan State university researchers provided 16 hours of ar­ tificial light with eight hours of darkness for dairy herds, growth rates improved 17 percent and milk production increased 7 percent. Michigan dairymen ex­ perimenting with sup­ plemental light have reported similar im­ provements. Fluorescent and mercury vapor light sources were used. With an intensity of 20 lux - each $.04 of electricity produced an addition $.41 of milk per cow. Feed intake however also increased. Additional effects of the added light include shorter winter hair growth and a hastened puberty in heifers? Last Freeie--We had several callers last week asking when we can expect the last hard freeze in McHenry county. May 5 is the average of the last freeze. Ther_ _ M 50 percent chance that a freeze will occur on this date. Know Your Herbicide--The number of herbicides available to farmers makes it difficult to keep up with all of the facts on each. The situation can be simplified somewhat by putting the herbicides into classes or families. There are 13 such families. Chemicals in the same family generally work in a similar way. Following are the classes with trade name products: (this list may not be com­ plete and is not an en­ dorsement of any one product): Acetanilides (amides) - Lasso, Ramrod, Bexton, Propachlor, Dual, Antor: Benzoics - Amiben, Banvel; Bipyridiliums-- Paraquat; Carbamates-- Furloe CIPC; Diazines-- Basagran; Dinitroanilines- Surflan, Treflan, Tolban, Basalin, Prowl, Sonalan, Rydex; Diphenyl ethers- Modown, Goal; Phenols- P r e m e r g e , D y n a p ; Phenoxys-Butoxone, Butyrac, 2,4-P; Thiocar- bamates-Suntan+, E r a d i c a n e , V e r n a m ; Triazines-AAtrex, Atrazine, Bladex, Princep, Sencor, Lexone, Evik; Ureas-- L o r o x ; U n c l a s s i f i e d - - Roundup. Remember that with most herbicides too much will cause crop-injury symptoms similar to the results the herbicide has on smaller weed seedlings. Contact me for specifics on how each herbicide class works. Nitrification Inhibitors--The University of Illinois has been studying nitrification inhibitors for five years. In 1978-79, two products were looked at: nitrapyrin (N- Serve) now on the market and terrazole (Dwell) a new product not for sale. Both are compounds that slow down the conversion rate of ammonium to nitrogen by inhibiting the Nitrosomonas Bacteria. In response to several major questions, resear­ chers have found that the inhibitors do delay the conversion of ammonium t h u s l e a v i n g m o r e a m - imtbmseHuac the professional do-it-yourself carpet cleaning system First Hour of Rentol $1.00 por hour . . . for every hour thereafter.

Results point out thai fall use of the inhibitor should take place after soil tem­ peratures drop below 60, degrees. The value of an inhibitor depends on soil and climatic . conditions. The first four years of research did not result in a significant yield increase when applying normal amounts of nitrogen plus the inhibitor. In 1979 at DeKalb though a significant yield increase was seen. Spring weather in 1979 was very favorable to nitrogen loss. So the factors of time, soil conditions, climatic factors, and nitrogen use may make an inhibitor a good nitrogen management tool for you.

Each year we hear of human and livestock deaths due to lightning. To avoid injury the best place to be when a storm hits is indoors. The safest spot is a metal frame building. Following, in order o f p r e f e r e n c e , a r e : a building with lightning protection, an automobile-of truck, a large unprotected building and a small un­ protected building. (Don't put your livestock in the family car.) 7 Even though you're safer indoors, electric currents find their way through an­ tennas, wires, chimneys and plumbing. Stay away from wiring and telephones during the lightning attack. If you are outside avoid hilltops, beaches, isolated trees, small exposed shelters and boats and don't go swimming. In a wooded area the best place to be is under a thick cluster of small trees. If you're outside in a storm, and your hair begins to tingle and stand on end, you m a y b e a b o u t t o b e h i t b y . lightning. If this happens, drop to your knees and lean forward; try to keep as little of your body as possible from touching the ground. If somebody is hit by lightning, give him mouth to m o u t h r e s u s c i t a t i o n a n d heart massage. Apparently "dead" victims have been revived. In fact, one person was revived after 20 minutes o f m o u t h - t o - m o u t h resuscitation. Eggs are one of the most versatile foods on the market. They can be fried, baked, scrambled, poached, soft boiled, hard boiled or com­ bined with other"foods. The color of the shell makes no difference in the taste or nutritional value. The brown and white shelled eggs are equally good sources of pro­ tein, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B-l, vitamin D, riboflavin, phosphorus and small amounts of copper and calcium. Many of the basic guide­ lines for preparing eggs are completely ignored. Always buy fresh eggs and keep them covered in the refrigerator. The most common mistake is overcooking them which pro­ duces tough, spongy eggs. To avoid this always use a low heat. Another mistake is made when the cooked eggs haw an odor. The odor is caused by improper storage. Eggs have pores that absorb strong odors from the area where they are stored. Store them in a covered container. Fresh eggs will have a dull appearance. If the shells are shiny, it's because they are either old or they have been washed and the natural dull, protective covering has been removed. God heals, and the phy­ sician hath the thanks. -George Herbert.
