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.

The Messenegr has received th?
following from Honorable Buti
B. 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.

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. '
