Thomas Cheek, tractor driver, plants sericea on formerly

H. B. Monroe brought in a
sample of weed that had killed
a number of his cows. This weed
is night shade. It’s an innocent
looking little plant, has fairly
small leaves and clusters of ber
ries. During periods of dry weath*
er 4 cattle, are likely to go to less
desirable plants for food, and
that's where the trouble begins.
Mr. Monroe has been rouging his
pastures for night shade.
Camphor weed has become a
number one pest also. Unless
the field is cultivated clean or
has been sprayed with 2-4-D, it
is probably infested with this
pest. It seems that a lot of farm
ers are trying to get by without
buying that spray rig. The truth
is simply that weeds are taking
too much moisture and fertili
zer to say nothing of cutting
yields by reducing stands.

Grain harvest is well on the
way. Farmers should clean up
bins and barns before placing
■grain in them. Sweep floors,
walls, and ceilings thoroughly.
Old grain and trash should be
removed and burned.
After thoroughly cleaning the
bin or barn, it should be sprayed
with marlate—(one pound of 50
percent wettable powder to two
and one half gallons of water)
Inside and outside.
Tennant houses used to store
grain should be lined with build
ers paper. This will keep out
moisture and permit fumigation
when weevils came in.
To make a good grain crop is

Harry. Ingraham, the New
York dairyman, who moved to
Laurens County two years ago
made a statement that sounded
mighty good to me, “My cows
are producing more milk here
than they did in New York.”
Harry says that he has twenty,
two-year old heifers that aver
aged better than 10,000 pounds of
milk. That is mighty good—in
any part of the country. Harry
and his boys are on DHIA and
have been listed on the top twen
ty a number of times.

June is Dairy Month. Did you
know that Laurens County pro
duces more than one million dol
lars worth of milk? I believe this
figure will go up, providing the
market remains stable. Let’s
hope this milk price war doesn’t
continue as it is entirely possible
that we could lose this income.
