Garden Work For
February 1946
Gardening should be foremost
in the minds of every farmer a-
gain this year. Great quantities of
food are being required in relief
and rehabilitation in foreign
The package situation
is acute. Transportation prob
lems are increasing each week.
Never were vegetables more im
portant in health and nutrition
than now. We always have the
possibility of adverse weather con
ditions cutting down on vegetable
yields.
If troubled with root knot or
wilt in tomatoes, set plants on
land where tomatoes have not
been grown before.
It is well not to plant cabbage
or Irish potatoes on the land for
many years in succession as the
soil will become infected with di
seases that are difficult to eradi
cate.
Make Plantings of: No. 1 Aspar
agus .(crowns), .Mary Washington.
Plant six to eight inches deep.
Cover two to three inches until it
begins to grow, then gradually fill
trench. Plant on rows six feet a-
part and 18 inches in the row.
Will have Barbecued Pork, Mutton and Kid,
also Vegetable and Plain Hash to serve or sell to
the public by the pound or quart in the park near
the community house in McCormick, on Saturday,
March 2, 1946.
I will do the cooking and he ready to serve or
sell by 10:30 o’clock a. m..

Cottonseed Treatment
Important In 1946
Clemson, Feb. 23. — One aid in
growing cotton cheaper is to cuu
down by seed treatment the loss
caused by diseases and insects,
says M. B. Stevenson, Clemson
assistant entomologist.
It has been conservatively esti
mated that cotton farmers lose $13
to $25 per acre each year by di
seases and insects. Mr. Steven
son thinks the indications are that
cotton seedlings grown from 1915
seed will carry a high percentage
of disease-producing organisms.
Cottonseed treatment is a well
established practice in South Car
olina. This practice will heLo
farmers to get better stands of
plants when spring planting con
ditions are unfavorable, and they
may expect increased yields which
come as a result of improved
stands and healthier, more vigor
ous plants.
Some farmers will use the fa
miliar barrel type treater. Others
will be able to carry their seed tY
