PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1955 FARM i; NOTESIlBiata: 1,1 '' 'lllilillMIlllill' (By COUNTY AGENT) ‘Soil Testing Program We were quite pleased at the good crowd who attended our kick off meeting for our Newberry County Soil Fertility Meeting last week. The purpose of this meet ing was to explain how the forth coming Soil Testing Program will be conducted and how it will bene fit Newberry County. Here’s how r the Soil Testing pro gram will work. Beginning about July 1st, six testing crews will begin taking soil samples on farms in the county. We hope to get every farm sampled. The soil sam ples will then be sent to Clemson College to be analyzed and the soil test report vCdll be returned to the County Agent’s office. We will then make fertilizer and lime recommendations based on the soil test report and on the crop to be grown on each farm field. This completed report will be for warded to each farmer and will indicate t« him what kind and how much fertilizer and lime he should use for profitable crop production Each field sampled will be re corded on a map and this identi fication along with a copy of the soil test report will be kept on permanent file in our office. Thus, we will be in a position to make accurate fertilizer and lime re commendations on every field test ed for any crop to be grown for several years. Those who will be in charge of taking soil samples in the six areas of the county include: Hoyt A Note of Thanks I am most appreciative of the confidence you have placed in me by returning* me to the office of Alderman from Ward 6 without op position. It has been a pleasure for me to serve you for the past four years and I am glad to have the opportunity of serving you for another term. I shall continue to work with the Mayor and members of the council for the betterment of our city. Dwight W. Jones Boland, L. E. Chandler, Maffet Fant, Jr., M. M. Harmon, Jr., John S. Harmon and Walter Pitts. These men will need the coopera tion of all farmers in Newberry County in getting this big job done properly. Now, what can this program mean to Newberry County? Gen erally speaking, we know that we are at present using less than half the amounts of fertilizer and lime for most profitable crop produc tion. With a soil test report, a farmer is able to fertilize his land much more accurately according to the ability of the land to pro duce the crop to be grown on it. Therefore, we are confident this soil testing program can be de veloped over a period of years into a soil fertility program that can increase our agricultural income substantially here in Newberry County. Let's all cooperate in get ting this soil testing job done as completely as possible! Flies Worst in Years “Don’t ever remember seeing so many flies around.” We’ve heard this comment several times lately and we agree. Flies have become a serious problem, particularly around dairy barns and poultry houses the past few weeks. Pro bably caused by all that rain we had during the past month. Truth of thematter is, mos^folks haven’t had time or for some rea son haven’t carried out* a good fly program. There is no one spray or other material that will keep down flies satisfactorily at this time of year. We’ve got to use a combina tion. On a dairy farm for instance, you must spray your barns with a residual spray such as Korlan or Malathion. Then use Methoxychlor as a dust on the cows once every 2-3 weeks to control horn flies. Then spray the cows every day as they come into the milking barn with a spray containing pyrethrins along with a repelleqt to really keep down the flies and keep them off the cows. Also the baits such as Malathion, Dipterex and Dia- Mrs. Matthews Rites Monday Mrs. Mary Elsa Matthews, 71, wife of John O.

In some extremely bad cases such as around some calf barns we’ve seen the only thing to do is first clean up and then carry out a good con trol program with poison sprays, baits, etc. . Sure it takes a lot of effort, but there’s really no easy or simple way we know of todo the job right. But fly control is definitely necessary. Experiment station re ports show that fly control in the summer means that cows will milk better next winter, too. Also don’t forget the beef cattle. Spray every 2-3 weeks with DDT, Malathion or Korlan. Or use back- rubbers with oil-insecticide mix tures to control flies. Flies cost you money!
