Hot Weather Adds To Dairymen's Problems Faulty rations, heat, and flies arc blamed for the difficulty jn getting cows to produce a full, even flow of milk through the summer. In July, said John A. Arcy, ex tension dairy specialist at State college, grazing in most permanent pastures gets short and- tough, and the grass contains less protein than earlier in the season. Temporary grazing crops such as lespedeza and sudan grass are needed to supplement the perma nent pasture, he said; or the cows should be fed silage, , with the pro tein content of the grain mixture being increased to 20 per cent. As the grazing in the pasture de creases, he added, the quality of grain fed should be increased. Cows suffer from heat, and if possible the place where they are kept during the hot part of . the day should be provided with shade and an ample supply of fresh water. Flies will irritate cows and keep them from producing a full milk flow, Arey continued. As far as possible, fly breeding places should be eliminated. Stalls and manure pits should be clean ed as often as possible, at least once a week, and the manure haul ed to the fields. Fly traps and sprays will also help protect the animals from this annoyance, he stated. There are a number of good sprays that wil kill and repel fleas; Farmers Bulletin No. 734, which may be obtained from the U. S department of agriculture, Wash ington, D. C, gives instructions for making good, inexpensive fly traps at home. J. S. Ammons Promoted In U. S. Marines James S. Ammons, U. S.
