Alfalfa Aphid Presses Through Wilson County
Wilson County faces a severe alfalfa aphid infestation spreading from Neodesha into the north. County agent Lester Griffith notes rapid spread, poor control due to reproduction and dry weather, with Montgomery County reporting spotty results. Parathion and malathion can kill the pests, but reinfestation occurs within 10 to 14 days. About 10 000 acres of alfalfa in Wilson County are at risk.

Drought May Cause Losses Across Livestock
Drought may cause vitamin A deficiencies in hay from drought areas leading to weak calves, breeding failures, and shipping fever in cattle, swine, sheep, and horses. The American Foundation for Animal Health warns losses may continue through early spring unless producers guard against poor quality hay and extended exposure.

Night blindness in cattle linked to drought damaged seeds
The foundation warns of night blindness as an early sign of vitamin A deficiency in cattle. A veterinary diagnosis is needed to identify the real cause, as the condition can progress to permanent blindness in young animals. Corrective rations and supplements, under veterinary guidance, can help prevent losses where drought has reduced seed vitamin content.
Foliar Feeding Seen as Best for Crop Nutrition
Dr. H. B. Tukey of Michigan State University testified before a Senate subcommittee that foliar feeding is the most efficient method to deliver minerals to crops. He cited that 95 percent of soluble fertilizers sprayed on leaves are used by plants, versus only 10 percent when applied to soil, and noted leaf tissues can absorb nutrients directly through the surface. Dormant woody stems also absorb sprayed fertilizers, while irrigation data suggest most vegetables require about 18 inches of water for maximum growth.
