The Battle of The Bug
Indications are that we will
have more insects and earlier
this year than last. The long-
range weather forecast for
June calls for cool, rainy wea
ther. This type weather is most
favorable for the development
of plant diseases and insects.
It looks now like the Mexican
Bean beetles and Cotton Boll
weevils from emergence will
be normal. The threat of Thrip
damage to cotton will be great
er than normal. Every effort
should be made to control
Thrips and Boll weevils on cot
ton seedlings and the Mexican
Bean beetle on other plants,
such as soybeans.
For The Home Gardener
Growers are advised that
Melons should not be cultivated
when wet with dew or rain.
From a disease standpoint, the
Melon field during June is in
a critical period and is more
susceptible to diseases during
extended periods of wet and
humid weather. Growers should
apply sprays and dust in suf
ficient time to dry on foliage
and fruits before rains and
then apply again after rains.
Good Show
Everything we can hear a-
bout the Saluda Area Pig sale
held last Monday was that it
was a very good sale.
They had anticipated having
400 head and had 575. The
crowd was good, the pigs were
good, and the price was good.
I believe one person said he
thought the sale would aver
age from $1.30 to $2 above
the regular auction market
price per pig. We must remem
ber, however, that these pigs
were graded and in uniform
lots. The buyer could get what
he wanted. I Just crot to talk
with Carl Ackerman a few
minutes and I believe he said
there were only three lots of
common-grade pigs. Fellows,
the quality is up—let’s get ours
up and keep it up!
The next sale is scheduled
for September 9.
Looks like one could pick up
a few extra dollars if he had
some Barbecue-size hogs ready
for the Fourth of July!
Lawn Care For Summer.
Fertilize with enough Nitro
gen to give your lawn the de
sired color. Nitrogen and water
will probably have you cutting
grass a lot more often, though.
If you have to water—water
slow and let the water soak in
at least two to three hours per
stand. By teasing or sprinkling
the lawn for short durations,
you cause the roots to be near
the surface and when you miss
a time or two the grass dies.
Don’t mow the lawn too
close. Most Bermuda grasses
should be kept between one-
half to one-inch in height;
Centipede, one to one and one
half inches; and Fescue, two
to two and one-half inches in
height.
