Epting of Pomaria spent the weekend with her daugh ter, Mrs. J. H. Halfacre on Rosa- lyn Drive. The Halfacres’ daugh ter, Mrs. J. C. Hutto and small son “Bubber” of Greenville are spending this week with them. Agents Talk Cotton Farming Big Time Farming Folks who attended the cotton] meeting at Silverstreet the other night heard an interesting story about big time cotton farming in j California. Brent Bowen, repre sentative of J. G. Boswell Co., told of his company’s operations in farming 180,000 acres of land in California and Arizona. 35,000 acres are devoted to cotton pro duction. Listen to some figures given by Bowen on their production costs. It cosfs them an average'of $114.- 50 per acre to grow cotton up to picking time. Picking costs from $15.25 per bale for machine pick ing to $43.55 for hand picking. Then when you add on ginning costs you come up with a total of $150 to $ 190 for the cost of California growers to produce cotton at the average rate of a bale and a half per acre. Now, let’s compare what we can do here in South Carolina. In 1958 there were 680 cotton farmers en rolled in the 5 acre Cotton Con test. These farmers averaged 665 pounds of lint per acre at a cost of approximately $100 per acre. Now for a cost per unit com parison. These figures show that the average cost per bale of cot ton for all California growers is $100 to $125 per bale according to figures given by Bowen. S. C. Growers who last year followed reccommended practices produced cotton at a cost of $75 per bale. Much of our cotton acreage in Newberry County has already been planted. However, we can still do many of the things necessary to insure high yields. Things like keeping a good stand, adequate fertilization, proper insect control and good cultural practices will pay off this year. Time to Make Grass Silage WADDELL & REED, INC. Principal Underwriter OF UNITED FUNDS, INC. is pleased to announce the appointment of D. P. (JABBO) FOLK II as its Representative in Newberry, South Carolina, and adjacent territory. 1721 Harper Street Newberry, S. C. Phone 798 Regional Office Wolfe & Addison Clinton, S. C. 20 West 9th Street Kansas City Mo. Now that most dairymetj have a surplus of grazing and small grains are heading out means it’s time to put up grass silage. Every dairy farmer knows tender graz ing like we have right now is the best feed there is to stimulate milk production. It’s hard to have that kind of grazing all during the hot dry summer. Grass or small grains put up right for silage at this time will mean a supply of graz ing during these periods of little or no grazing. Biggest trouble we’ve had put ting up grass silage early like right now is the high water con tent. After it’s put in the silo, the silage juice runs out taking away feed value and making a sloppy mess around the silo. How to cut down on this pro blem ? Either wilt the crop on the ground for several hours before ensiling ,or add some dry matter to the silage as it goes into the silo. Since wilting is generally not feasible, most folks add dry matter such a citrus meal or pulp, or corn and cob meal. Sweet flakes, a product of soybeans is also now available. Use at least 100 pounds dry material per ton of high moisture silage. This will greatly reduce the amount of seepage from the silo. Then too, 75 % or better of the feed value of the added material is recover ed in the silage. Henry Parr has recently built the biggest silo in this part of thecountry. 580 tons! That’s a lot of silage, but we know Henry will get it filled because he knows it pays to have “green-feed” the year round. RITZ Theatre THURS. FRI. & SAT.

KIRK PONTIAC—CADILLAC CO. 2100 Nance St. Newberry, S. C. Ever Stop To Think Twenty cows milking 10,000 pounds per year will produce as much in net income as 60 cows milking 7,000 pounds per year! Beef prices are still high. Cull now all those cows that are not paying their way and aim for cows that will produce better than 7,000 pounds milk per year. Most dairymen don’t know which cows are their star board ers because they don’t weigh their milk. For dairy farmers not on D HIAor Official Testing, the Weigh-A-Day-A-Month program offers an inexpensive way to keep milk records at feed costs. Stop Flies Now Fly season has already begun. When we stop to think that each female fly has the ability to pro duce a million offspring, it then makes sense to start fly control early in the season. With all our dairy barns, poultry and turkey houses, hog parlors, and beef cat tle in Newberry County, this thing of fly control becomes most impor tant. Remember first of all that clean surroundings are as important in fly control as poisoning with in secticides. Now plan to carry out a 'good spray program both on animals and in farm buildings. What materials to use - There are now so many good ones on the market, the problem is which one to choose. Bill Long got good fly control in his milk barn and loaf ing barn for 6 weeks last year with Korlan. Others got good re sults with this material in Poultry houses and Hog parlors. Sprays or baits containing malathion, Dia- zinon, or Dipterex are also good for use in barns or buildings, to name a few. Be careful what materials you use on milking cows. Methyox- chlor may be sprinkled on as a dust to control horn flies. For daily spraying when cows are be ing milked, use only sprays con taining Pyrethun’s plus a Syner gist, or Lethane or Thanite. On beef cattle, we don’t have to be too particular. Use either DDT, Methoxychlor, Malathion, or Toxa phene as sprays to control horn flies. Backrubbers containing one of these materials or Korlan also gives good results. The main thing in controlling flies with insecticides is to select a good one and apply it regularly throughout the fly season. Now is a good time to start. Fertilize Shade Trees Our Extension Forester, Sam Marbut, reminds us that now is a good time to fertilize shade trees to keep them healthy. Healthy trees are best able to resist at tacks by insects and diseases. An annual application qff fertilizer will give your shade trees this add ed vigor. Use a complete fertilizer such as 5-10-10 or 4-12-12. The best way to apply is to put fertilizer inholes Bulldogers At Coming Rodeo Heads up! The real thriller of the rodeo arena is coming to Newberry Fairgrounds May 1 and 2, at 8:00 p.m. In most instances, bulldogers have the reputation of tackling the most dangerous jobs, but if you could see a rider “screw down” on one of these Brahmas in the chutes, amid the bellow ing, clattering of hoofs and swinging of horns, maybe you’d decide that the Brahma rider is the one risking his neck. To make a qualified ride on one of these brutes is only half the battle—the next thing is to get over the fence without being tram pled or gored into eternity. Many an expert bucking horse rider won’t go near a Brahma. They say there’s a man somewhere who can ride any horse, but there are many Brahmas that a *few men can ride for more than a few se conds under rodeo rules. Bulldogers will be one of the features of the rodeo here May 1 and 2. * llL_ ipiii iliifti W* m piip g •• • $ J MM& 1 'v ’-/• piWiM I illislifiil xWSx.. •'.yS.ttyyy: 100% NYLON JERSEY A new and exciting assortment of Shelton Stroll ers has just arrived!
