To remind farmers of essential
farm activities in May, County
Agent C. B. Cannon makes these
suggestions:
Agronomy
1. Follow grain with soybeans,
velvet beans, grain sorghum, or
a summer grazing crop. 2. Do
not ruin a good stand of cotton
by chopping out too much.
Leave tw-o or three stalks every
8 to 12 inches. 3. Sidedress com
liberally with nitrogen fertilizer
when plants afe 8 to 24 inches
high. Use weeder and cultivate
shallow, stopping cultivation
when corn is waist high. 4. For
best results, plant shelled and
treated peanut seed. 5. Use
fextra potash for legume crops.
6. Fertilize millet or Sudan for
summer grazing with 500 pounds
per acre of eomplete # fertilizer at
planting time. T. Use the mow
ing machine to control weeds in
permanent pastures. 8. Topdress
Coastal Bermuda with extra
amounts of nitrogen fertilizer.
9. Practice rotational grazing for
best results.
Horticulture
1. Sow tomatoes for July
transplanting; collard and cab
bage for August transplanting.
2. Mulch tomatoes with straw or
leaves to hold moisture and pro
long fruiting. 3. Do not culti
vate beans while foliage is wet.
4. Apply nitrate of soda to gar
den crops if they are not grow
ing well. 5. Do not cut young
asparagus too closely; fertilize
and manure after cutting season.
6. Don’t neglect vegetable gar-'
dens; high-priced food makes
gardens important this year.
Insects and Disease*
1. Use all available means to
control flies. Some new effec
tive chemicals are now being
demonstrated. 2. Cotton grow
ers should control weevils and
thrips and follow good produc
tion practices. 3. Tobacco grow
ers, see your county agents for
latest information on control of
insects and diseases. 4. Control
bean beetles, potato bugs, and
-cabbage worms. 5. Be alert to
insect damage on all crops. De
tect, report, and control them.
6. Spray fruit trees to control in-
secU and diaeaias. . , _
Agricultural Engine*ring
1. Keep working parts of farm
machinery greased and oiled-—
this is cheaper than repairs. 2. 1
Check harvesting machinery for
needed repairs, and buy or order
J parts now. 3. Be sure grain is
dead ripe before harvesting with
combine; this usually is 10 to 14
