A veterinarian can help you plan a treat- ment Program. However, taking the animals off milk me replacer at the first sign # of sickness, providing a . solution composed of one teaspoon salt and bt for 24 hours to correct the dehydration, and treating with kaopec- tate will reduce the severity of the scours. Calves’ given this treatment can be star- ted slowly back onto milk replacer over a period of three to four days. Our W.I meeting on Wed. afternoon, Oct. » 12th was at Minnie y Cook’s. Eight ‘visitors ; were made welcome along with the nine members present. After the opening exercises the minutes and reports were given. The Sunshine’ Commit- Eagle Valley W.I. tee had sent a plant to the Leckie home to ex- press our sympathy when our member, Mrs. Leckie, Sr. passed away. A card was received from Leckie’s thanking our group for serving lunch at the funeral tea at West- ward Ho Community the pot luck supper to be held in the Sundre High. School gym on World Food Day Oct. 16th was made. A lively discussion followed. Out Constituency Convenor, Susan Burgess, gave a report from the recent meeting at Drumheller for the Constituency Con- venors from District V with out — director, Dorothy Williams. We p' were given the dates for our District V. Spring Conference to be held in Drumheller as. well as our Constituency Con- ference date. A suggestion was. made that each W.I. design a banner to represent their branch. These are to be taken to our District. V Conference in March. Carol Brown, Educational. Convenor for Environmental Con- correct disposal methods of herbicide and pesticide cans. The new chemical container disposal site is on Highway 2A west of the Olds-Didsbury air- port. Members answered roll call with a conser- vation idea. A friendly visit was enjoyed during lunch time. Mildred Henry was winner of the hostess rize. Nov. 10th will be our Annual Meeting at An- nie Cane’s home. You are invited to come along. People who don’t believe in hell have never tried to money back from a malfunctioning coin-in-slot machine. Women are just little girls grown-up who have stopped waving by-by and have learned to wave buy-buy, says our ever- broke neighbor. Fall cattle sales are occurring throughout the region.

Malhi, a soils scientist at Agriculture Canada’s Lacombe Research Station. Dr. Malhi is continuing work initiated by the late Dr. Don Walker. Using analysis of samples taken from 115 farm field sites he calculated exchangeable soil potassium and the possibility of obtaining yield response from barley with the addition of potassium fertilizer. When soil ex- changeable potassium was 168 kg/ha or less in the top of 15 cm of soil the probability of ob- taining a yield increase from potassium fer- tilizer was 66 per cent. However he found this probability decreased rapidly when the soil potassium level was above 168 kg/ha to a point where there was no yield response in barley when the potassium level ex- ceeded 280 kg/ha. Similar, tests on rapeseed demonstrated, that at soil potassium levels over 168 kg/ha \ the probability of get- ting yield response was very low, and that per cent yield increase ten- ded to be less than for barley. a In field tests placement of potassium fertilizer was more critical for barley than for rapeseed. Barley yields’ were greatest when potassium was placed with the seed and least when broad- cast. and incorporated. For rapeseed, yields were essentially the same regardless. of how the fertilizer was ap- plied: With both crops maturity was delayed by three to ten days when potassium. fer- tilizer was broadcast and incorporated or side-banded, rather than being placed with the seed. A soil test is the best method for identifying the need for potassium fertilizer. On most of the potassium-deficient soils in Alberta, the ap- plication of 17 to 34 kg/ha of potassium arilied with the seed of cereal crops has, been adequate. Recent’ work on soils testing. very low in potassium (less than 112 kg/ha) has shown yield responses to. higher rates of ap- plication. At rates higher than 34 kg/ha potassium fertilizer should be barided away from the seed or broad- cast and incorporated to avoid -germination damage. control of scours in pail fed calves Calf scours is caused by an intestinal infec- tion by bacteria that results in severe diarrhea, dehydration, and often death. Prevention of scours in pail-fed calves is depen- dent on a clean en- vironment and proper nutrition. A_ well- ventilated shelter to protect calves from drafts and wet weather will reduce stress and allow calves to combat . infection. A clean and dry shelter will also minimize the spread of scours among calves. At the Lethbridge h Station, we suggest that if milk is not available, the most suitable milk replacer is a milk-based product (dried skimmed milk) that has not been heat-damaged — during preparation. Heat- damaged milk replacers may :be. brown in color and. have -a_ slightly burned smell or taste. Improperly . prepared milk replacers are less digestible -in. the | stomach of the calf, and therefore, pass un- digested into the ‘in- testine where scour- causing bactéria will use them as a base to begin growth. Over- feeding the calf (feeding more than its stomach -will hold) also results in undigested milk passing into the in- testine, encouraging the growth of‘scour-causing bacteria. Proper Vitamin A and mineral _ supplemen- tation are essential to maintain the ‘general health of the calf and will therefore reduce the incidence of scours. Vitamin. A requiremen- ts of young calves are 10,000 1.U. per ‘day. Many milk replacers do contain Vitamin A but some of them may require additional sup- plementation. The requirement’ for many minerals can be met by using a commercial mineral salt, fed free of choice in loose form. Creep-feeding with whole oats or a whole oats alfalfa hay mixture encourages the development of normal rumen and gut bacteria and prevents scour causing bacteria from becomingiestablished. Control of scour- causing bacteria depen- ds on early iden- tification and treat- ment. Treatment for scours requires im- mediate isolation of in- fected calves.
