Boyktat TREAT COTTON SEED FOR BETTER .'STANDS Rainy weather during the cotton- picking season caused cotton seed to become IPfeeted with seed-borne dis eases, says M,, B. Stevenson, Clem- son assistant EAeusion entomologist. Unless cotton seed are treated with Cereean or some equally effective material to kill these s(»ed-bome dis eases, stands will be poor this spring. •When seed are not treated, a gen eral farming practice is to plant a large quantity of seed, frequently an almost continuous line, to provide for low germination and lossee caused by seedling diseases. There will not be enough seed available this yew to plant a large quantity; so, cotton growers piust save the^seed they get by treating. Seed viability is improved by care In harvesting and storage, and seed ling diseases are controlled or great ly reduced by seed treatment. Many cotton farmers have obtained bene ficial results from Ceresan. It Is estl- ihated that over 60 percent of the farmers in the state treat their cotton seed for better results. MARCH FARM CALE'nDAR Farm Suggestions for March: ■ Agronomy 1. Make, save and use farm ma nures 'and compost in • producing crops. 2. Study the needs of your soil for food to teed the plants to be grdwn and buy fertUizw to suit 8^ Plan to ihanufactnre nitrogen <hi the farm; that Is, grow more legumes. 4. Buy enough certified seed to grow your next year's supply (to nialotaln quality production). 5. If not already sown, sow lespedesa early in March. 6. Make last top-dressing on grain before end of month. Horticulture 1. Set out fruit trees for home or chards If not already set 2. Plant raspberries, blackberrlec, and straw- berries early, this month. 8. Apply spring fertllisM' to orchards. 4. Plant hardy vegetables — cabbage^ tnrnips, mustard, spinach, kale, lettuce. 6. Make plans ter vegetables for home use throughout the year. 8. Get gar- ddnng publications. The vegetable garden was never more important than now beeanse of the world food shortage. Insects and Diseases 1. Treat cotton seed to prevent damp«iing-off and to obtain better stand. 2. Machlne-dellntlng of cotton seed should be done bdf(m and not after treating with mercury dust. 5. Oet and study Extension Bnlletln 98, "Important Field Crop Insects’’, for crop insect control. 4. Control cutworms with poisoned bran mash. Use cutworm collars around valnable garden plants. 5. Plant wlU-resistant tomatoes and cettem. 8. Get Extension ClrCnlar 282. "Longer Ldfe for Fence Posts’’. 7.
