Boll Weevil Situation— They are with us and now is the time to poison them. Last week’s check revealed infesta tions of 300 to 800 weevils per acre. 1946 Grain Crop— The grain harvest is just about c-er and the yield was very good on most farms in the county^ We should continue to plant plenty acres in small grains. Make feed when we have winter rains and don’t depend too much on corn that can be a failure due to sum mer drought. Grow More Grain Sorghums— Grain sorghum is a good sub stitute for corn. Due to weather conditions this year we have a short corn crop planted. It is not too late to plant grain sorghum and it is a drought resistant crop. Farmers are urged to plant milo, Hegari or any other good grain sorghum before July 15.

Hare, Congressman of the. 3rct S. C. District: Dear Mr. Editor: In view of the recently expressed interest of many farmers relative to the supply of nitrate of soda ammonium nitrate, the enclose-, copy of letter from the Assista.iw Director of the Production and Marketing Administration, Materi als and Equipment Branch, De partment of Agriculture, prove to be of interest to many oi your subscribers. Very truly yours, Butler B. Hare. U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRI CULTURE Production and Marketing Ad ministration Materials and Equipment Branch WASHINGTON RUN 4, STOP 209 June 20, 1946. Hon. Butler B. Hare, . House of Representatives. Dear Mr. Hare: This will refer to your conver sation of June 18 with Mr. L. G. Porter of this Branch concerning, supplies of nitrate of soda for by farmers in South Carolina. The tight situation reported ta you has been caused by a number of factors. The quantity of Chilean nitrate of soda available to the United States this seaso.i is about two-thirds as much as was imported last season. Ther-‘ has been some delay also in meet ing scheduled delivery dates du> in part to# labor troubles at th* Chilean refineries. Domestic pro duction of nitrate of soda and. other nitrorgen fertilizers, partic ularly at Hopewell, Virginia, has suffered due to the recent coat strike and the inability to secure needed raw materials such as soda ash. In looking into this matter re cently, we were advised by th? Chilean Nitrate Sales Corporation of New York that approximately 80,000 tons of nitrate of soda has arrived or is due to arrive at low er Atlantic Coast ports during th-? period May 28 through June 25. We were advised that this tonnage will enable the importers to com-* plete deliveries this season on th> basis of 7 1-2 per cent of last year’s tonnage to each customer. We were informed a short tim? ago that production of nitrogen fertilizers at Hopewell is showing a gradual improvement. Some ammonium nitrate is also moving into the general area. The arriv al of the considerable tonnage of Chilean nitrate of soda, together with the increase in the supplv from domestic sources should, it is believed, materially improve the situation on side-dressing materi als in the Southeastern States. Very truly yours, |s[ R. W. Herder, R. W. Herder, Assistant Administrator. ' yr i
