Perth County council will
be sending its solicitor to
,MitcheIlJpne 26 to a hearing
by the Ministrey of Envire-
nment on the expansion of
the Mitchell sewage lagoon*.
The only snag standing in
the way of the :expansion is
the removal or ..hout eight
acres of bush which the coun-
ty tree inspector says must
stay. Couty council in
denied the town permissiou
to e ut -the trees down

in digging another laggon

Phone calls are .being
received more freqently,
lately, about magnesium and
grass tetany. "If I turn my
cattle out on lush pasture or
green chop, will they get
grass tetany? " Actual
requirements for magnesium
are still unknown or are
subject to heated debates at
times. Many factors affect
the amount needed; the
animal's age, amount of other
minerals present, kinds of
feed in the ration. Animals
do not store magnesium like
calcium and are unable to
mobilize it at the time of
need. Magnesium is, appar-
ently, needed regularly in
the diet, on a daily basis.
High levels, of calcium and
phosphorus lower mag-
nesium absorption'. Likewise,
too much magnesium raises
calcium and phosphorus
needs. Absorption of mag-
nesium is much lower from
green grass than from hay
and higher from grains than
It is estimated that the
available magnesium needs
for a cow producing 50
pounds of milk is 5 grams
(1/5 of an ounce). Availa-
bility, however, is generally,
less than 30%, and in green
grass may be less than 5%.
Therefore, try feed the 5
grams necessary, it Would be

FORAGE TESTING
Averages are good for
comparing information but
precision is far superior for
balancing feeding rations.
Ii
Forage testing has the
advantage of showing its
g more precise figure ;for
protein etc. This could result
in a saying of $2,000 S3,000
for a 40-50 cow herd. Protein
content .can be quite low
t5%) or extremely high
(22%), Digestibility may
vary also from 35% to S0%
I3ecause protein,is the most
expensive ration ingredient.
the testing of hay and hay
crop silage is important. The
amount etreentrate added
for a. given level of produc-
tion dependS• on the amount
fed and the protein content.
Calcium and phosphorus
may also vary, thos: changing
the mineral requirements
needed for maximum repro-
duction.
To test hay crop silage, it
is recommended that a hand -
hl be taken from each wagon
load, put into a plastic bag
and kept frozen until nt to

as shown below. Applications must be
made before heading of small grains,

inthal pod set on soybeans, and silking of 'corn.
Aa effective spot, treatment of Roundup can
control these weeds to help prevent their
spread, and make harvesting easier. Pick up
some Roundup soon from your farm
chemicals supplier, so you'll be ready when
the weeds are!
• . .
Canada thistle
Wait until Canada thistle is
actively growing and at or
beyond the bud stage of growth.
Then, it's ready for you to
control it with Roundup. „.
Quackgrass
When most quackgrass is
actively growing and at least 8
inches tall (3 to 4 leaf stage of
growth), then apply Roundup.
There's never been
a herbicide like this before.
rillikWeed
Wait until milkweed is actively
growing and is at the mid to full
bloom stage of growth, then
apply Roundup. Retreatment .
may be necessary if all'
milkweed plants are not at
the 'same stage of growth.
