Reports are that poison for boll weevil control will be scarce. In fact, some companies are not quot ing prices at this time. With the un settled conditions as confronting the world, no farmer can feel secure of his fertilizer, etc. until it is in his bam. So many things, such as strikes in plants and railroads, can tie up critical material. The increased need of Ubor in industrial plants and the coll to the arm forces will effect labor on the farm Le*pede«a Seed For Hay With the short lespedeza seed crop this year there is sure proof that les pedeza seed will be scarce and high I in price next spring Frank O Black. State Statistician,' states that the seed crop in South, Carolina is the smallest crop since 1943 Lespedeza is by far our majo: ; hay crop. It would be wise to see that your demand is satisfied at an! early date. As to the production of lespedeza | seed in the United States, this year, j is indicated to be 34 percent smaller, than last year and eight percent be low the 1939-38 average. It appears that the 1950 seed crop will be the smallest in ten years.
