Golfers Walk Miles
Beauty is in the eye of the
beholder, or so it is said. In
the case of dandelions, it makes
a difference whether the be-
holder is a greens keeper or
lawn owner, or a kid who likes
to play with the balls of down.
On the fairways of this country's
golf courses, these balls of
down are reported to be respons-
ible for an annual 100,000
miles of pedestrian travel be-
cause they look like golf balls.
For these devotees of the more
exotic in food and drink, we
are advised that dandelions
form the basis of a delightful
salad, and the raw material for
a rare and unusual beverage
known as dandelion wine.
The beautiful golden blos-
soms do add a nice bit of con-
trast to the ordinary green of
the average lawn. In some cir-
cles where dandelions are un-
known, it is becoming fashion-
able to plant crocuses in the
lawn just to add variety.
In case this is heresy to the
confinned dandelion hater, we
hasten to add that it is usually
quite feasible, even interesting,
to remove the dandelions from
the average lawn. Just use 2,
4-D the way it says on the la-
bel, keep it off the shrubs,
flower borders and garden. The
job should be done twice, first
in early May when the temper-
ature gets up to 65 F. or better,
second in early September when
the second crop shows signs of
blossoming.
Dandelions are a real men-
ace in long term meadows and
pastures. An invasion of dande-
lions is frequently the cause of
failure of an otherwise good
alfalfa field. The controlmeas-
ures in alfalfa, or legume
crops, are not so simple orcer-
tain as in lawns or all -grass

pastures. Rates of 2,4-D nec-
essary to eliminate dandelions
will also eliminate most le-
gumes, certainly alfalfa.
Some success has been re-
ported in control of dandelions
in alfalfa using 20 ounces of
acid per acre of 2, 4-D in
September. Best results are
obtained when the alfalfa has
been harvested in late August
and 2, 4 -DB applied before
new growth has developed to
protect the dandelions from the
2,4 -DB. It must be admitted
that results have not been con-
sistent enough to warrant a re-
commendation for control of
dandelions in alfalfa, reports
the Soils and Crops Branch of
the Ontario Department of
Agriculture.
Need Supplemental Feed for Cows
"It takes cows time to ad-
just to the different feed,"
states Professor Donald Grieve,
department of animal husband-
ry, Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege, Guelph,
Cows on early spring past-
ure will usually increase their
milk flow, but often lose body
weight because they can't con-
sume sufficient dry matter
from the succulent young grass.
It is wise to supply some hay in
the field, yard, or stable to
counteract this problem. A
high-energy grain ration such
as corn may be desirable. but
Iittle supplemental protein is
necessary since protein require-
ments at this time are not
critical. Cows receiving silage
as part of their winter ration,
however, will not have such an
adjustment to make since they
have already been eating a
succulent feed.
"Production can be main-
tained later in the summer by
using several tactics," this
dairy cattle specialist suggests.
"Intensive pasture manage-
ment is part of the answer
since strip grazing and clipping
on well-managed, high -fertili-
ty soils will promote regrowth
of pasture and stretch out the
pasture season. Surplus early --
season pasture or hay can be
harvested and stored as haylage
for feeding as a pasture supple-
ment later in the summer. This
is practical on many farms
presently using silos for winter
storage of corns only."
While zero grazing involves
111 • 11,11”"tt+.luu,i ulluu/*Mtn
more labor, the trend of bring-
ing feed to the cows --daily
chopping of green feed or feed-
ing out -of -storage --is increas-
ing. it is especially appealing
for farms equipped to feed
large herds mechanically. Out -
of -storage feeding requires
less labor than daily chopping
and, if it is put in storage at
the right time, a higher quali-
ty feed is produced. Using
either of these systems utilizes
pastureland and results in more
uniformity of milk flow.

YOU
YOU NEED SHUR-GAIN
Pasture Dairy Ration
Despite the fact dairy cattle were fed well all
winter they could lose weight if fed only lush,
green pasture. Pastures are high in protein but
low in carbohydrates and energy.
SHUR-GAIN PASTURE DAIRY RATION is high
in carbohydrates and thus provides the energy
lacking in lush green pastures. .Maintain your
herd production throughout the early growing
season with SHUR-GAIN PASTURE DAIRY
