PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THUKoJJAjl FARM NOTESlflfSrr By COUNTY AGENTS Alfalfa Weevil Control Well, the alfalfa weevil is with us again this year. This insect has certainly been a serious pest to all alfalfa producers these past few years. We have been mble to* control Mr. Alfalfa Weevil by using Hep- tachlor in the past, but as you al ready know, rulings of the U. S. Food ..and Drug Administration J probihit the use of this material now. There are three insecticides • ow recommended. You have hear?. and probably used some of these for other insect control purposes. The first, and the one we feel will be most satis ^tory and less expensive to use, ' Malathion. The other two insecticides are Methoxychlor (Marlate) and Parathion. Please keep in mind that these insecticides, regardless of which you choose, must be properly and handled ‘ Cautiously to prevent objectionable residues on the crop or cause possible in jury to the operator. Malathion or Metokychlbr must not be applied within seven days of harvest and parathion must not be applied within fifteen days of harvest. Plan to use Malathion on alfal fa at the rate of 1 1-2 pints per acres when the emulsion contains 5 pounds of active ingredient per gallon. Methoxychlor (Marlate) must be used at the rate of 3 qts, per acre when the emulsion con tains 2 pounds of active ingred ient per gallon. We are not rec ommending the use of Parathion unless you specifically wish to use this material. This material is dangerous to use if you are not familiar with the necessary pre cautions.

These insecticides come in various strengths, and you need to put the amount recommended above. As a suggestion to you, we would also recommend you keep close check on your alfalfa. The fields are becoming heavily in fested now. Control Garden Diseases With this warm weather we are having now, f^ks are getting busy as bees preparing garden areas. Just a few recommendations we feel will help you produce q little finer tomato, bean, or other veg etable this summer. Locate your garden in a disease free area; do this by changing your garden location every 2 to 3 years. Change the garden arrangement each year. Rotate a particular vegetable from one side of the garden to the other side-*-in other words, don’t plant tomatoes in the same bed you planted toma toes in last year. Fumigate if you have been bothered with nematode infection in the past. Several recommend ed fumigants may be purchased locailly. Contact our office for recommendations. Fertilize generously —■ put at least 2 1-2 pounds of a 5-10-10 or 4-12-12 commercial fertilizer per 100 square feet of space. This is the same as 7 1-2 pounds per 100 feet of a 3 foot wide row. Apply this before planting. Use good seed of disease resist ant varieties. Follow Clemson’s annual list of adapted recommend ed varieties. Ask for circular 389 and Circular 454. Plant only disease-free seed— it will pay you to buy new seed each year rather than try and save your own seed. Be sure to purchase your seel from reliable dealers. Follow recommended planting dates—these may be found in circular 389. These dates are se lected for various reasons, one be ing disease control. By following these recommended dates you of ten permit plants to make a crop before the disease appears or be fore it becomes serious. Avoid mosiac transfer — wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling egg plant, pepper, or tomato plants. Various tobacco products carry this disease. Use pesticides—Control insects early and prevent a build up of insects. Ask for USDA Bulletin 46. Water your vegetables properly. Water so that the foliage does not Smith Auto Sales Shows Valiant Smith Auto Sales .on Friend street is now showing the Val iant, Chrysler Corporation’s en try into the compact car field. On display now is a 4-door sedan and a six passenger, 4-door sta tion wagon. Chrysler has been engaged in a program of “small car” re search for 25 years, but it was not until May 1957 that the de cision was made the market a small car. Two years later the Valiant was born. It is described as a totally new car. “Valiant is nobody’s kid brother,” Chrysler officials said. “It stands on its own four tires and challenges every other car, foreign or domestic, to match it, inch for inch, pound for pound, dollar for dollar.” Features of the Valiant include unitized body, new dipping pro cess to prevent rust, torsion-aire suspension, outstanding manue- verability, to name a few. Valiant boosts simple room for six in the sedan and station wag- } on. Also a 3-seat wagon is in cluded in the line. The 4-door se dan, 2-seat station wagon and a 3-seat station wagon are available in two series. Optional features are pdwer brakes, automatic transmission, and power steering. Dick Shealy at Smith ' Auto Sales invites the : public to in spect and test drive the Valiant. HERE!

Sprinkling plants in the late afternoon tends to spread foliage diseases more readily. Don’t touch wet plants. Remem ber to stay. out of the garden when plants are wet. You can transfer disease easily while plants are wet. These are a few suggestions and recommendations which will help you have a better vegetable crop this year.
