Ex­ tension Adviser, Agriculture, Mchenry County) l In M.SSS Odds • Jim and Sharon Kagel of Franklinville road, Woodstock, had a hap­ pening at their farm last week that is rare. One of their registered Holstein cows gsve birth to three heifer calves. The odds of having triplet calves all of the same sex is one in eighty thousand. Mother and calves are doing fine. It could be a long time before this happens again in McHenry County because we have had more than our share already The same thing, triplet heifer calves, were born on Tryon Farm, State Line road, Har­ vard, on March 14. Feed Grata And Hay To Cows On Pasture • Don't expect high producing dairy cows to get all the feed nutrients they need from fast growing early summer pasture or green chopped forages. Such forages contain a lot of water and cows can't eat enough to meet their nutritional needs. Pasture forages can contain as much as 85 to 90 percent water. So, a cow weighing 1200 pounds would have to consume up to 240 pounds of such forages per day to get a normal daily intake of about two pounds of dry matter per hundred pounds of body weight Cows won't eat that much feed To maintain adequate feed intake by the top producing cows in your herd, feed about six to eight pounds of dry hay along with the fresh forage In addition, continue feeding grain while cows are on pasture. An ideal grain mixture is high in com or other high- energy feed and is sup­ plemental with minerals to supply phosphorus, calcium, and salt. Feed one pound of grain for each three to four pounds of milk produced Birch Borers - Early June is when the bronze birch borers start doing their thing to birch trees in McHenry County Prevention of borer attack is more successful than trying to correct the situation after they are in the tree The University suggests spraying the trunks and limbs thoroughly with dimenthoate (deFend or Cygon) in early June Repeat in three weeks Use two teaspoons per gallon of water or one cup per 25 gallons. Fertilise Hay Ground After First Harvest • Alfalfa hay is the third most important McHenry County crop in acres grown Last year we grew approximately 32,000 acres of alfalfa. Fertilizing hay ground after the first harvest is nearly as efficient as an application in early spring The amount of phosphorus and potassium needed for each year's production depends on the yield and soil test. If soil test values for phosphorus and potassium are high and no further in­ crease is desired, annual fertilizer needs are the amounts of nutrients removed by the crop. A hay crop removes about 12 pounds of phosphate (P205) snd 50 pounds of potash (K20) per ton of dry matter Since most hay is made at about 20 percent moisture, one ton of field-dry hay contains approximately 9.6 pounds P20S and 40 pounds K20.
