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

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.

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.
