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. Give bees better care to

figuring THINGS OUT
Awhile back I was learning Sonny how to handle
a shotgun so he could figure out where Br*er Rabbit
.natchelly was going to be on his next fump. Sonny
the idea mighty quick for a boy his age. Maybe
its because he*s noticed how us fanners always tries
to do things the natchel way. For instance, it just
comes natchel to use Chilean soda to give our crops
.a qui(Jc start and keep 'em growing strong and
filthy.
farmen has been rising natdiel soda for more
a hundred yean. Seems like just being natchel
