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.

A big crop of small grain in
cluding oats, wheat and barley
will soon be ready for harvest in
Newberry County. Farmers must
hurry now to get ready not only
to harvest this grain crop but to

before storing grain in them. Be
sure to remove all old grain and
trash. Then sw r eep walls, ceilings
and floors thoroughly. Now spray
w r ith good insecticide such as Me-
t.hoyxchlor or Malathion to kill
off any insects present in bins
and to help prevent insect infes
tation after grain is stored.
Plan to fumigate grain soon
after storv.ge to do the best pos
sible job of preventing damage
to stored grain.
Make certaiti your combine is
in perfect operating condition and
is adjusted properly to prevent
loss of grain during combining.
Garden Reminders

attarke'd a British force sent

This Kingstree marker commemo
rates a 1780 engagement which
prevented a bloodier battle. After
the Williamsburg men had lost 30
killed to the British under Major
Wemyss, they captured prisoners
and procured information w'hich
influenced General Marion, the
Swamp Fox, not to engage the
main British force.
In today’s South Carolina, with
its emphasis on progress, the
United States Brewers Founda
tion works constantly to encour
age maintenance of wholesome
conditions wherever beer and ale
are sold. As in other states, the
program calls for close coopera

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.
