Don't Lose Coivs Involuntarily True, the National Dairy Adjustment Ad-justment Program does aim to move cows out of production to reduce oversupply. It even pays farmers to reduce their production. But Dr. Wally Taylor, extension dairy specialist, Utah State University, says dairymen should guard against losing cows involuntarily. " Dairy Herd Improvement Association (DHIA) records show that on the average, over the years about one-third of the cows in a herd go out of production each year. Out of that group, about one-third go out of production for voluntary reasons. Two thirds go out for involuntary reasons such as mastitis and reproductive problems. Taylor said that often the cows lost for involuntary reasons are the best cows. To have a profitable dairy operation, a farmer must strive to avoid the involuntary loss of cows. He recommends that dairymen take advantage of the DHIA somatic cell count (SCC) to help them manage to keep mastitis to a minimum in the herd.

MEsracutow Optics AnSEclnafe Scientists have long understood how to bend and reflect light waves with mirrors and lenses, but they've puzzled over how to make optical devices that would do the same for x-rays. x-rays. Dr. Larry V. Knight and Dr. James M. Thome of Brigham Young University are among a handful of researchers working with "multilayer "multi-layer devices" that could control x-rays x-rays and increase their usefulness in medicine, science and the computer industry. Conventional x-rays of the human body produce pictures that are only "shadows of the bones and organs," said Knight. With optics an actual photograph could be produced. "It would take far fewer x-rays and the photograph could be blown up" to magnify small areas. Using x-ray optics, the industry would be able to pack more devices into a smaller chip that could perform per-form more functions and store more information, he said. Being able to bend and reflect x-rays x-rays would make possible the production of an x-ray microscope which could make three-dimensional three-dimensional images, or holograms, of molecular and possibly atomic structures. Another use would be to map the workings of organisms as small as viruses. While electron microscopes are highly effective, Knight said, they ;, have limitations that an x-ray microscope would eliminate, J with assets ot more than $43 billion. Member FDIC.
