It will aUo give the producer a more uniform calf crop which is desirable when the calves reach market age. Research work has proven that winter calves gain faster and are of better type than turn- pro gram should be planned to pro duce the type product the buyer gtmands. Buyers prefer calves of uniform age, weight and type and will pay mom for such calves. Castrate and dehorn your calves at an early age. This Is a wise procedure whether you plan to sell your calves through a feeder-calf sgle or on the farm. It will mean more dollars in the producer! pocket. Every beef producer should have some coastal bermuda for summer pasture. Too many cat tlemen am forced to graze fescue during the summer and themselves on the short end of a feed supply during winter and early spring. Now Is the time to make plans for putting out coastal.

Mr. Farmer, to incmase farm profits in 1961, make maximum use of all the resources at "our command — land, water, labor, money, credit, and other re sources, but make adjustments to fit new conditions. Keep a good set of records. They’ll help you pin-point weaknesses in your to tal farm program. Records are also useful for income tax and so cial security purposes. Make a definite farm plan and foUow it. Put more business in the man agement of your finances, includ ing taxes—shop around for best buys and do not overlook the pos sibilities in purchasing good used machines. Cut farming costs. Fertilize according to recommen dations, based on soil tests. Use good seed, plant crops on adapted lands, control insects and dis eases, cultivate properly, and do the other things necessary to in crease yields of high quality products. Cull low producers and breed for high production in the dariy, beef cattle, hog, and sheep herds and in the laying flocks. Follow good sanitation, manage ment, and efficient feed practices and recommend measures to con trol diseases to improve quality products. Cut food costs—pro duce vegetables, meats, milk, and eggs for good diets. Study mar needs—market high quality prod ucts in an orderly manner at the time and in the volume desired. Take advantage of the opportuni ties offered under the various government programs, such, as social security, federal crop in surance, Public Law 86-172—to preserve cotton acreage history and allotments—and other pro grams. The pulp mills pay between 35 and 40 million dollars each year for pulpwood in South Carolina. Most of the moeny is spent in ru ral areas of the state. It provides income to thousands of rural peo ple. Landowners, both small .and- large, can start and maintain profitable woodland management programs. I am sorry to say that a large number of farmers in our county are not getting the maxi mum return from their forests. Landowners may either sell their pulpwood on the stump or cut, haul and load it on railroad cars, or they may deliver their wood to wood yards in cooper’ation with pulpwood dealers. In thinning forest stand, thin pine stand when live crowns occu py less than 40% of total height of trees. If you have planted stand with good survival, usual ly thin the stand when trees are 12 to 16 years old. In thinning, take out the crooked, forked, dis eased, and suppressed trees. As you mark the stand, keep in mind that the better remaining trees should have 2 to 3 feet .of space between branch tips. Protect the trees that are left because they’re the ones that will produce your future forest income. Divide your woodland into 6 or 8 blocks and thin a block a year. Proper thin ning can greatly increase your timber profits. The following points are offered to landowners who have pine stands that they plan to Improve by a pulpwood thinning. Ask your county agent or a forester to check your stand for a thinning operation. Talk with a dealer before cutting. Pulpwood is shipped to the mills through dealers who have fixed volumes to cut and ship each week. Make arrangements to have your timber marked. Cut only marked trees. Sell by written contract. Get a sample copy of it from your county agent or a for ester. Never be in a hurry to sell young fast-growing timber. Its value increases greatly each year. Cut your pulpwood to meet industry requirements: fa) Wood should be green, sound from burned anas, (b) should be 4 indies or over at small end. (c) Wood should be sawed to specified length, (d) Branches should be free of nails, wires and other metals. Winter time is an ideal time for farmers to take stock of their forests and see if they are getting the highest returns possible from their for ests. Plan your breeding program. Good beef bulls are hard to find. Proper management will help the Serf breeder to get more use of his bulls and be able to keep good bulls longer. The secret is to remove the bulls from the herd after your breeding season. Too many beef producers have bulls with herd the year round. Divide your cows into twenty- five or thirty head groups. Put chains with numbers on the cows so that you may keep good records. By knowing which bull sired which calf, the pro ducer will be able to refrain from close breeding, which is {tangerous. Just as important, their bulls will enable a breeder to continue his program several years before another bull is re quired. By removing the bull from the tad after the breeding season of two to three months, there will be no danger of heifer l/egetable Market East Carolina Ave^ Clinton, & C.
