Calf Care for Hot Weather and Growth Guidelines
Farmers guide calves through heat with shade and limited pasture. W I Woodley of the University of Arkansas ext emphasizes skim milk, legume hay, and controlled grain. six months plus calves should eat roughage. Proper feeding plans build future production and prevent stunting that affects offspring. Follow stepwise milk feeding, gradual milk type changes, regular meals, clean vessels, and avoid over feeding to reduce scours and improve growth.

Cutworms Threaten Vegetables. Paper Collars and Baits Urged
Cutworms attack beans tomatoes and cabbages from now through mid June unless controlled. Paper collars around plants prevent damage while poisoned bait made from bran molasses water and arsenic or Paris green offers practical control for surface feeding species. Most cutworms have one brood yearly with eggs laid on soil and on plants. larvae overwinter underground and emerge hungry in spring.
