X4—Man.v tobac- ro growers follow the practice of spnlvMcr the corn ~neal-arsenate lead insecticide for the control tobacco bud worms, says W. C. Nettles, extension entomologist and member of the Recommenda tions Committee of the Tobacco Insect Council for 1938. The bud wwui is in many cases the same insect as the com ear worm and the tomato fruit worm. By applying a pinch of the dry mixture at the center of each bud at the rate of about eight pounds per acre, control may be obtained in most cases with one or two ap plications, but applications should t>e continued until control is se cured. Experiments have shown that «*ne pound of arsenate of lead to T9 pounds of com meal is effec- Mne. However, the practice among farmers in South Carolina Is to mix the poison formula at rate of one pound of arsenate lead to 25 pounds of com meal. w0 « ot® BuaotHa B. E. Gault, of Fountain Inn, vi'.'.o says that he always tries to make high yicidr, macie a remarkable yield of cettrn Jzct year with moderate outlay for . . . C--0 pounds °* fertilizer before planting and 200 pounds of natural C.::!ea:i nitrate stde-drescir.g per acre. mm To Prevent Severe Chinch Bug Damage farmers who have had chinch bug damage to corn in recent years have found that planting com adjacent to small endn has controlled the severity '«»ff the infestation. It is therefore important that farmers do not fptant com or sorghums adjacent to small grain. County Agent R. D- Suber advises. Chinch bugs are now present in the state and breeding on barley and wheat, and to Some extent on oats, but a recent survey indicates that chinch bugs are much less numerous than at this time last □war. according to W. C. Nettles, extension entomologist. In the chinch bug area of York. Lancaster, and Chester counties, elsewhere in the state, soy- and sorghums may be sub- attteted as resistant crops for production, Mr. Nettles sug- The chinch bug, of course, on sorghum, but if proper <ccdtara£ methods are observed a satisfactory crop should be made. Fountain Inn, May 14.—Good years may come and bad years may come but B. F. Gault, Fountain Inn farmer, by close at tention to his farming business, always manages to come out with a good yield. He did it last year when he raised 26 bales of cotton on 14 acreas of land. But it is not any “just happen so” with Mr. Gault. He studies his farming operations just as closely as any industrial engineer studies the operations of his plant. He puts business practices in his farming operations. He says that he always tries to make heigh yields and has found that it has paid him well. Last year Mr. Gault says he bought for his cotton crop Coker’s No. 100 pedigreed seed direct from the breeder. He placed his rows about three feet - apart and in chopping tried to leave two stalks to the foot. Mr. Gault says he has found from experience that it pays to fertilize v,e-l if one is to get a high yield. He used 600 pounds per acre of a high-grade 12-4-4 per acre before planting. Then he followed with two side-dress ing applications of natural Chil ean soda. The first application of 100 pounds per acre was made when the cotton was 6 inches high and the second 100 pounds per acre when the cotton began to put on fruit. Mr. Gault says that he has found that it pays him to feed the nitrogen side dressing to the crop as the plant needs it and he always follows this practice. He has a good grade of clay loam soil and he says that he has always been able to make high yields by following the practices outlined. Mr. Gault also slays he practices frequent cultivation and has found that nothing takes the place of good cultivation in making a cotton crop. * <*• Another good yield of cotton this year is the goal that Mr. Gault will work for, and he plans to follow the same practice this year that he followed last year.
