FOR VEGETABLES
Cecil Blackwell, assistant Exten

Georgia vegetable growers to take
samples before planting. He points
out that recommendations for lim

samples will help the grower to

production.
IRRIGATION OF CORN
A four-year corn irrigation test
conducted by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture showed that irrigat
ing corn three times is usually
sufficient and is almost as profit
able as more irrigations. In the
test, three irrigations—one about
ten days before tasseling, one at
tasseling, and one at silking—gave
143 bushels per acre.
