PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1959 FARM gjggSj NOTES IfilUIn • I IKIUlimilllllHItTtijii;, wmmm Sidedress and Poison Cotton Cotton has had a hard time so far. First it was too much lain and cold weather on early planted cotton and some folks had to re plant. Then it turned dry and caused uneven stands in many fields. And now the cool spell of weather last week has further help to hold cotton back and keep it from making normal growth. Most farmers have already thinned cotton and plowed it. If you have not already done so we recommend side dressing your cotton with nitrogen now to give it that needed “shot in the arm” to overcome the difficult time it’s had so far. 16 to 20 pounds of ac tual nitrogen per acre will do for now. Then plan to come back in 3 to 4 weeks with another applica tion of sidedressing to carry the crop on through the fruiting sea son. Also remember that most of our leading cotton farmers have soils are low in potash and many NOTICE TO CANDIDATES CITY ELECTION Prospective candidates for Mayor, and Alderman for the six city wards may now file for the positions with the undersigned Secretary. Fees are: Mayor $100.00 Alderman: $50.00 O. F. ARMFIELD, SR., Secretary City Democratic Executive Committee found it pays to include 50 to 100 pounds of muriate of potash along with nitrogen in their side dress ing. Small grains are now' ripening. This means that thrips are mov ing from the grain fields into the I cotton fielus. If thrips are allowed ! to go unchecked, they can do cot- ! ton considerable damage. All growers except those who planted Thimet treated seed should begin weekly applications of recommend ed insecticides to control thrips and other cotton insects. Egg Producers Losing Money Improved Management a Must Egg prices paid to producers have declined steadily since East er. Prices now being paid pro ducers will little more than pay for feed costs. In such a situation, producers tend to lose Interest and slack-up on careful manage ment practices. This is fatal, if you plan on staying in the egg production business. The best possible job of manage ment is a must if you aim to hang- on until prices improve. Charles Little, poultry manage ment consultant who already keeps many of our Newberry County producers on the ball, says to -r.!U + Vwi -Tril Inurin or m arm o-omPflt mistakes and you’ll make more money. 1. Dirty water troughs; 2. In sufficient w’ater space; 3. Insuffi cient feeder space; 4. Improper ventilation - houses too tight us ually; 5. Insufficient litter in nests 6. Feeders too full or improperly adjusted so that feed is wasted; 7. Allowing tall weeds or tall growing crops to block ajr from poultry houses; 8. Allowing lice or mites to build up enough to cause production drop. This is due to not looking for these parasites.; 9. Caked or dirty litter in the house.; 10. Cannabalism, caused by crowding, lack of feeder or w r ater space; 11. Insufficient grit and shell hoppers; 12. Not enough nests or improperly hung nests - too high; 13. Failure to gather eggs often enough; 14. Failure to keep feed consumption and pro duction records; 15. Improper egg storage (no cooler) and improper ly cleaned eggs.; Naturally it’ll take a lot of work to avoid all these things but it’s necessary to keep from losing money under present conditions. Egg prices should improve in the next few weeks.

The beverage < of moderation 4 f L - r Frequent shallow cultivation is usually essential for control of weeds and grass. Always cultivate following a heavy rain or irriga tion as soon as the soil is dry enough. Irrigation if done properly will help greatly during periods of dry weather. Apply water either by sprinkling, soaker hose or by sur face irrigation. Soak ground thor oughly when applying water. The only time a light irrigation is re commended is during the germina tion period of seed. Tomatoes:- If you are staking and pruning your tomatoes, do not neglect them. Pruning and tying must be done constantly to be successful. A mulch of sawdust, or straw is a big help in conser ving moisture. Weekly spraying or dusting is essential in controlling insects and diseases. Use the following ma terials to control the indicated in sects and diseases.
