Ardner Cheshire reports a crash program using DSMA plus Karmex and Surfactant to kill crab grass and water grass on a 13 inch band.

Precautions include waiting until eight to ten inches tall, avoiding leaf contact, limiting to two applications, and following label directions.

Cattle Disease Prevention Gains Milk Fever Control
University of Illinois researchers report that feeding dry cows heavier grain during the last three weeks before calving lowers milk fever incidence. A 2 1 calcium to phosphorus ratio with legumes and a 14 percent protein grain was used, while calcium replenishment after calving is emphasized. Dr Gustav Bohstedt notes milk fever usually hits later calvings, with signs including appetite loss and low spirits.
