Fall Rains Can Mean 'Foot Rot' For Your Cows Fall rains, coupled with muddy pastures and barnyards, can mean "foot rot" for cows, ? , R. L. Wynn, dairy specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service, explained that organisms which cause foot rot In dairy cattle live best in wet. muddy places. Infection often gets its start from foot and hoof injuries caus ed by wires, stones, or rough places around the barnyard and pasture. "When a lairte cow Is noticed in the herd," Mr. Wynn said, "she should be checked immedi ately for foot rot. Some symptoms may be swelling and redness a round the head* of the hoof, re duced milk production, and a loss of vigor." For treatment, Mr. Wynn recommends cleaning the infect ed foot and washing it with a disinfectant. If possible, let the cow stand in a foot bath one or two hours each day. Keep her in a dry place until she recovers. A solution of copper sulphate or creolin is frequently used with good results. For best precautions, however. Mr. Wynn suggests call ing a veterinarian. The elimination of as many wet areas around the pasture and feed lot as possible Is one of the best ways to prevent the disease, Mr. Wynn concluded. Hunting Roundup Dear season Is coming up soon Advance reports indicate the sharpshooters will have a good year with bucks. Hunters report squirrels are > abundant, but still hard to hit Plenty for the hunter willing to sit down and sweat 'em out. Ruffled grouse reported in large numbers all over Macon County They're still winged lightning ' bolts and hard to bring down. Grouse hunters are making bet ter-than-average bags, however. Quail: Plenty of the little birds, but just hold off until the season opens Thanksgiving. Do Winter Cover Crops Really Check Erosion? i Are winter cover crops effective in controlling erosion? Do they provide the necessary cover to keep the topsoil from washing away? Do they pay? According to H. V. Mangum, of the state AJS.C. office, farmers will have a good opportunity to check on answers to these ques tions in the next few weeks while i/aAny fields are bare. "Compare bare fields v.lth those protected by a cover crop," Mr. Mangum said. "Check the slit deposits in the low places and the water run-off. Remember the soil carried away by the water . is topsoil. which contains most of the essential minerals and humus." While making the comparision. farmers should consider the value of cover crops as "green manure" , when they are turned under. Mr. Mangrum concluded by urging farmers to go by their ! county A.S.C. office to check on possible assistance in establishing winter cover crops. "There couldn't be a time when . cover crops are more needed," he said.
