Good Crops Guide
For February Use
That a good start is important
is stressed by County Agent M. A.
Bouknight in his February farm
calendar of suggestions for McCor
mick county farmers.
Agronomy
1. Manure is one of our best
fertilizers. Make, save, and use
more of it. 2. Study your soil and
past fertilizer treatment and save
money by adjusting this year’s
fertilizer to plant needs. 3. Turn
under all cover crops in plenty of
time to permit decomposition be
fore seeding (two weeks or more
depending on cover crop and local
conditions). 4. Plant more les-
pedeza. Lespedeza is “Southern
alfalfa”. 5. Be sure to v seed e-
nough forage crops to supply am
ple feed for livestock. 6. How is
your permanent pasture?
Horticulture
1. Plant strawberries, dew
berries, blackberries. 2. Set out
grape vines and fruit trees. 3.
Plant asparagus and Irish pota
toes in coastal counties; trans
plant cabbage plants in central
and upper counties. 4. Plant tur
nips, mustard, spinach, lettuce,
kale, peas, radishes, onions, par
sley, 5. Plant in hotbeds: To
mato, pepper, and eggplant. 6.
Remember that gardens are just
as important this year as during
the war.
Insects and Diseases
1. Place order necessary insecti
cides, fungicides, and equipment.
2. Treat cotton seed with mer
cury dust to control soreshin. 3.
Spray peach trees with lime-sulfur
or oil emulsion and Bordeaux to
control scale insects and diseases
before the buds begin to swell. 4.
Spray apple trees with lime-sul
fur or oil to control scale. Di-ni-
tro, compounds also kill aphid
eggs. 5. Disinfect sweet potato
seed. See county agent for in
structions. 6. Treat melon, cu
cumber, and cantaloupe seed to
obtain better stands. 7. Feed bees
if stores are short.
Agricultural Engineering
1. Check over farm machinery
and order needed repairs now.
2. Plan terraces to make them
wider to facilitate operation of
machinery. 3. Grade yards or
lots to provide better drainage a-
way from buildings. 4. Make
needed repairs tc farm buildings,
such as leaky roofs and poor
foundations. )

Ten years ago a popular, writer
said that the small fAmJ4y-size
farm is a luxury that will (disap
pear when farmers come to their
senses. Wonder if that writjer will
come to his senses!

■JV/TORE than one woman has
* , been moved’to J give thanks
that her closets have doors be
cause hidden behind them is of
ten a disarray that is not her ideal
of beauty and order. However
closets for every purpose, as ef
ficient as a card index system,
can be worked out with a little
concentrated planning. So be
fore spring cleaning and over
hauling actually begins, make
definite plans for necessary
changes that will insure neat
closets.
It’s a good idea to begin by tak
ing inventory of the members of
your household —
their ages, ward--*
robes and activi
ties. Analyze what
each closet must
hold. Where is
the most conven
ient spot to stow
the family’s over
shoes, the house
hold linen, the
cleaning para
phernalia? Then
,assign to each
closet a definite
purpose in life and fit it out to ful
fill its functions.
If your hall closet seems to be
the acknowledged family dump,
an auxiliary closet ia indicated.
This second closet will take care
of the overflow that is left per
force in the hall closet and give
you a chance to organize the
whole conglomeration. On the
door of the hall closet you might
put up some men’s hat racks and
'attach an umbrella rack. Have a
sturdy rod installed for overcoat-s
with plenty of hangers and a
shelf above it.
Linen closets should be
functional and spic and span.
Shelves of graduated widths
to take care of washcloths,
pillow slips and guest towels
make for 'assorted storage.
Wide shelves for sheets, face
towels and bath towels, draw
ers for blankets and bed
spreads and a wide, deep
shelf to take care of comfort
ers in their cases or boxes
will take care of bedding.
A woman’s closet needs two
rods set at different heights, one
high enough for evening clothes
and the other lower for daytime
dresses. A shoe rack, deep shelf
for hat boxes and a set of shal
low drawers for underwear and
“accessories” provide sufficient
space for the average woman.

Early Spring Hints
On Care Of Livestock
Well laid plans for breeding and
feeding are keynotes to success
with livestock in early spring, says
County Agent M. A: Bouknight,
making these suggestions:
Animal Husbandry
1. Make use of the small grains*
(barley, oats, and rye) for hog
grazing. 2. Graze fenced cover
crops with beef "cattle. 3. Allow
sheep one-half pound of grain per
day and all the good roughage
they will eat- 4. Improve per
manent pastures by applying
phosphorus and lime. 5.- Sow
espedeza on permanent pasture
n late March and early April. 6.
Keep the breeding cows main-
aining their weight. 7. If sows
have lice, treat them with motor
oil two or three weeks before far
rowing. 8. Deck and castrate
ambs when they are 7 to 14 days
old.
Dairying
1. Breed as many cows as pos
sible during February for calving
in November and early December.
2. Plan now. for a complete sup
ply of home-grown feed for next
winter’s feeding. 3. Provide for
each mature cow: Silage, at least
three tons, and one ton of hay or
two to three tons of legume hay
with no sNage; corn, eight bush
els; velvet beans, 420 pounds;
oats, 15 bushels; cottonseed meal,
five sacks; permanent pasture, two
acres; pearl millet, one-half acre.
4. Watch calves and yearlings for
lice, which at this season do great
est damage.
Poultry
1. Put brooding equipment in
working order. 2. Purchase chicks
early from a reliable hatchery as
records show that early-ha Xied
chicks are the most profitab 1 . 3.
Provide cl:an range for chick and
pullets. 4. Hold hatching ggs
not over 14 days before settin*-
