Any farmer who has seeded
wheat for harvest as grain next
summer but who does not have a
wheat allotment should notifv the
Agricultural Stabilization and Con
servatjon County Office of his esti
mated acreage, Edsel Martin, Man
ager of the Forsyth County Office,
'aid today. In this way. county re
cords canbe established and steps
can be taken to make such a farm
er eligible for a wheat marketing
card if he decides to sell any of
his grain or to have it ground for
flour or feed.
Under the wheat marketing quo
ta program, any grower who pro
duces more than 15 acres of wheat
is subject to a penalty on any
"excess” wheat harvested. The pen
alty must be paid before the wheat
is eligible for marketing.

Sweet potato time is just about
here again. It is time to be think
ing about your source of plants.
Are you going to buy them or are
you going to grow your own?
If you buy your plants, make
sure you are getting the variety
you are paying for and that you
get certified plants that have been
inspected by the Department of
Agriculture. If you plan to grow
your owwn plants, get the best
seed stock that is available.
Recommended varieties for Geor
gia are: Georgia Red. Canbake,
Earlysweet, Bunch Porto Rico, Unit
I Porto Rico, and Copperskin Gold
rush.
For fertilization use a 5—10—15
I analysis unless your soil test shows
high potash. If potash is high use
a 5—10—15 analysis fertilizer. Fer
tilizer rates of 1,500 —2,000 pounds
can be used profitably, Initial ap
plication of 800 pounds should be
made two to three weeks before
planting. The rest should be ap
plied as side dressing.
Sweet potatoes should not follow
legume crops in' rotation. Severe
cracking, lower yields, and a great
er disease problem are encountered
when sweet potatoes follow such
crops as peanuts, crotalaria, lupine,
soybeans, and peas.
Set transplants deep and leave
as many leaves on the plants as
possible. Yield increases can be
expected with increased planting
depth. Watering with a nutrient
solution (starter solution) at trans
planting is very beneficial. The
solution should he a comDlete an
alysis containing N. P. and K. The
P should he verv high in compari
son to N and'K.
Always transpaltn on a ridge
or bed that is 8 inches high. The
ridge should be as wide as possi
ble for proper root development.
This ridge will help hold moisture
longer.
Rows should be 42—43 inches
wide with drill spacing from 10 to
12 inches.
Cultivation should always be
with implements that will keoD
the beds plowed up. For tractor
cultivation disc hillers are most
satisfactory and should only be
deep enough to control grass and
weeds and keep the bed built up.
Certain types of army worms
can cause damage to foliage. DDT,
DDD, Lindane, or Toxaphene usu
ally gives good control. The same
treatments are recommended for
leaf hopppers. Aphids and white
flies can be controlled with Para
thion or Malathion. It is important

IF FIGURES DO not lie, then
the Benson Farm Program stands
condemned by a set of them com
piled by economists in Secretary
Benson’s own Department of Ag
rriulture.
) st May Senator Allen J. El
le.ider of Louisiana, Chairman of
-l
nine what would happen to farm
prices and income by 1965 under
conditions approximating the free
i reduction and marketing of ag
ricultural commodities advocated
by Mr. Benson. The resulting
projections and an analysis of
biem by the Interregional Tech
nical Committee of the I,and
c-rant Colleges have been pub
lished as a Senate Document and
i-iove, as Senator Ellender ob
served, why the Agriculture Sec
retary "has been so unwilling” to
comply with Corrlmittee requests
;cr statistics on the effects cf his
recommendations.
* * •
THE EXPERTS FOUND that
with the continuation of present
.opulation, consumption and eco
•.r.nic trends uncontrolled agri
rulture would increase production
l"7 per cent over the 1947-49
'.verage and, through lowered
prices and increased costs, would
•rut realized net farm income 46
i -r cent below the 1958 level to
: bout ?7 billion. Those figures do
rot Include tobacco which, it was
* sumed, would remain controlled.
The effect in terms of prices
: eeived by the farmer would be
•.hese: cotton would drop from
v 1.1 to 25 eents a pound; peanuts
’.ould fall from 10.6 to six cents
a pound; wheat would tumble
to control thes# insects because
they transfer virus direases.
Nematodes can be controlled by
use of the W-85. (Do not us Nema
gon or Fumazone.)
Too much heat makes eggs tough
and “rubbery,’’ says Miss Nell-
Boyd, nutritionist, Agricultural Ex
tension Service. Use low cooking
temperatures and the shortest pos
sible cooking time.
An electric range will use about
1 135 kilowatt hours of electricity
per month, declares Miss Doris
Oglesby, housing equipment spec
ialist, Agricultural Extension Ser
vice.
LAND FOR COTTON
Cotton is a relatively high income
crop, point out agronomists, AES.
To get best returns on labor, fer
tilizer, insecticides, and harvesting
equipment, cotton should he plant
ed on soil best adapted for rapid
growth and early fruiting. Cotton
is best adapted to fertile, w r ell
drained soil.
BERRIEN COUNTY LISTS ITS
FIRST CORN CLUB MEMBERS
Three Berrien county farmers
have become the first from their
county to become members of the
Georgia 1,000 Bushel Corn Club,
, says W. H. Guriev, agronomist of
I the University of Georgia College
lof Agriculture Extension Service.
The three farmers, who live near
Nashville, are Bremen Hondley. W.
W. Moore and John Taylor. They
were initiated into the club at its
annual meeting in Athens early
this month.
) Gurley stated the corn club is
spreading into new counties each
year and that many members now
come from counties where it was
once thought impossible to meet
the club’s requirement of 1,000
bushels of corn on 12 or fewer
acres.
! These Berrien count farmers fol
lowed production practices outlined
bv Countv Agent Wendell Wood.
There included use of good hybrid
seed, proner snaring, use of 500
pounds of s—lo 15 fertilizer per
acre at planting and 115 nounds of
nitrogen side dressing. Thov made
| only two cultivations and “laid bv”
when the corn was knee high.
Their average production of 9C
bushels per acre cost them only
67 cents per bushel.
These three farmers were among
the approximately 200 who received
membership keys in the corn club
this year.
from $1.72 to 90 csnts a bushel,
corn would slide from 51.11 to lie
cents a bushel; hogs would gj
down from-19.6 to 11.2 cents a
pound; beef would decrease from
21.9 to 15 cents a pound; eggs
would go from 38.3 to 29 cents a
dozen; and milk would be reduced
from $4.12 to $3.60 per hundred
weight.
As bad as they are those fig
ures would appear to be on the
conservative side. An independent
study done by agricultural econo
mists at lowa State University
recently put the reduced figures
at 21 cents for cotton, 74 cents
for wheat, 66 cents for corn, 10.8
cents for hogs and 11.5 eents for
beef. v

IT IS FELT that knowledge of
this report and the eonelßiiieas
drawn from it hr experts
was one of the reasons President
Eisenhower surprisingly backed
away from the Benson Plan in his
recent farm message and invited
Congress to come up with a “con
structive” alternative.
It long has been obvious that
the entire concept of our present
patchwork farm law is a failure
and it is now quite clear as a mat
ter of statistical record that Mr.
Benson’s ideas would bankrupt
what is left of the nation’s farm
economy.
Thus, we must have a new
legislative approach to the prob
lem and, unless our farmers are
to be forced to plant themselves
into the ground in a vain attempt
to close the present coat-price
gap, that approach must embrace
a formula along the lines of the
Talmadge Farm Plan which will
encourage the fanner to adjnat
his production to consumption
and compensate him accordingly.
