Over 100 4-H agricultural

Ontario attended the 1980
Provincial 4-H Leadership
Camp from June 15 to June
22. The island setting of

The objective of 4-H is the
personal development of
young people. In keeping
with this aim, the camp
program is particularly
designed to help delegates
develop their leadership
potential through a variety
of methods. During the week
the delegates were involved
'in leadership seminars,

This past spring the corn
suffered a number of set-
backs, We thought yon would
be interested in our version
Of what happened, It won't
change anything, but we'll
explain it,
During the first and second
weeks of June, we bad 10 to
14 days of cool, drying winds,
During thi$ time the corn
plants lost much of the free
water in the leaf tissue, In
some fields this desiccation
was bad enough to kill some
corn plants, • especially the
plants on high exposed
areas, In some fields, her-
bicides added to the damage,
As the wind blew, it
removed the moisture from
the plants. The plants tried
to compensate by removing
more moisture from the soil.
As this moisture was taken
up, some of it contained
herbicides. This herbicide
moved into the corn plants.
Generally, this herbicide is
broken down by the corn
plants.
However, since the corn
plant was not growing, it
wasn't breaking the her-
bicide down. This herbicide,
Clinton instead, started to burn the
leaf tissue. If you had
checked your fields closely,
you, noticed that the plants on
the knolls were 'being hurt
worse than the plants in
protected areas near a bush
or around the outside of a
field.
This was because the
plants in these two areas
were protected from the
wind. Also, the dead plants
occurred at random, not one
after another as if they were
frozen. Then we had two or
three nights of extremely
cold weather below freezing,
We all expected frost
damage,
In fact, when I got up to
Water the garden in the
morning the garden hose
was frozen, This was right in
Stratford. It had to be colder
in the country,
So why didn't the corn
freeze? Because some of the
free water in the plant's
leaves had been removed,
Frost damage occurs when
this free water expands and
crushes the cell walls in the
leaves, However, since this
water was partially
removed, there was not
enough left between the cells
to do damage by expanding.
The water in the cells was
now more concentrated and
could. withstand lower
temperatures before they
froze, This whole process is
called `hardening off', The
only areas that were frosted
were those low areas that
had been protected from the
wind the past two weeks. The
damage in these areas was
So can we learn anything
from this? I think so. From
what I saw, the wind damage
was far worse than the cool
weather.. It drove home to
me the fact that we must
establish wind breaks. This
is the second time in the last
eight springs in this area
that wind has caused con-
siderable damage. The time
before was because of
blowing soil.

Dry Cow Udder
Health
Dry cow udder health
should be a part of a com-
plete mastititis control
program for the herd.
California Mastitis Tests
(CMT's) should be done on
all cows regularly,
throughout lactation, and
samples from infected
quarters sent to a Veterinary
Services Laboratory, to
identify the bacteria in-
volved. This makes more
effective treatment possible,
since the best antibiotic for
the specific type of infection
can be used.
Teat dipping should be
done after each milking, as
well as twice daily during the
first 5 days after drying off
and for the last five days
before freshening. During
these periods, the teat canal
is partially open, leaving the
udder susceptible to invasion
by bacteria, unless teat
dipping is carried out.
Dry cow treatment, im-
mediately after the last
milking, is a must for all
cows with a past history of
mastititis. Because the in-
fused drugs are not removed
from the udder by sub-
sequent milkings, this has
proven to be the only ef-
fective opportunity for
eliminating mastitis in-
fections,
If lab tests have been done,
a specific antibiotic should
be Used. Where' this not
possible, one of several
excellent, long lasting, broad
spectrum dry cow infusions
can be selected.
Cows without a history of
mastitis should not be dry
treated. Not only is this a
waste of an expensive
product, but the needless use
of antibiotics may be
responsible for an increase
in the incidence of coliform
mastitis in freshening cows.
Your veterinarian and you
should set up an effective dry
cow treatment program.
