ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM OFFICE OF
THE COUNTY AGENT -:-
NITRATE OF SODA AND
BOLL WEEVILS—
Indications at the present ' time
are that there will be only about
80 per cent of the normal supply of
nitrate of soda available next year,
and probably only about 60 per cent
of this by planting time. Nitrate of
Soda is very helpful in stimulating
early fruiting of cotton, which aids
greatly in getting ahead of the boll
weevil.
Without much of this stimulus
may need to think ahead. If cotton
stalks are destroyed this fall as ear
ly as we can get to it, many weevils
will be killed and many more will
go into winter quarters like the
Germans in Russia, cold and weak.
Calcium arsenate may not be plen
tiful next spring, it might be wise to
store up about 10 pounds per acre
now if you can.
The interest that is being mani
fested in terracing is quite gratify
ing.
Mr. P. W. Hudson, of the Bureau
of Animal Husbandry, was in the
county Tuesday, testing some cattle
for Bang’s disease and tuberculosis.
ALICE LANIER REPORTS
A NICE TRIP—
Miss Alice Lanier, who won a trip
to the Wild Life Conservation Camp
.held in the mountains of north Geor
gia, near Dahlonega, came in the of
fice last week and gave us a nice
renort of her trip
Alice learned ,o many thing, abort
wild life conservation and had such
a good time with many new-found
friends f that she is looking forward
'
very much V, h to making v the tup next
year, as a return delegate, if she
ran’+ win another trip for she be
lieves there will be many more in
this county trying hard for the trip
next year.
We hope to have Alice as a guest
at every club in the county soon, so
that she can tell every 4-H boy and
girl about her trip.
TO ALL EARLY COUNTY
FARMERS—
Blakely, Ga., Sept. 8, 1942.
Heal’ Mr. Farmer .
From the records on yom farm, I
believe that the 25 per cent of crop
land that you are required by the
AAA to plant m some soil con -
ing crop, m order to qualify lor all
of your payments is acres.
In case you have not met this . 25
percent requirement, I would like to
make these suggestions. If they suit j
you, use them; and if they do not,
forget that I mentioned them.
Suggestion: Plant, after excess
peanuts, 1 1-2 bushels of oats and
20 pounds of Austrian winter u peas
(or 15 lbs. Hairy Vetch), per acre.
Apply 500 pounds of 20 per cent
superphosphate per acre, What you
lack of having your 25 per cent, win
cut into your cotton payment and
your peanut payment, in just the
proportion that you lack of having
the 25 per cent, In other words,
if you only have 1-2 of your 25 per
cent, then you are automatically not
eligible for but 1-2 of your cotton
and peanut payment.
If you accept the above sugges
tion, not only will you save your
cotton and peanut payments, but
you will earn the following soil
building payments:
Seeding 1 acre Austrian win
ter peas (with oats) ----------- $1.50
Application of 500 lbs. of 20
pel- cent superphosphate------- 3.43
Payments in 1942 ---------- 4.93 |
_
Payments in 194i3, if not grazed
too closely --------------------------- 1.50
Total payments.....— ______ $6.43
Another suggestion: Since you
earn a payment for these practices,
the AAA will advance the seed and
fertilizer against these payments. So
I suggest that you make application
for them right away.
My reasons for making these sug
gestions are: will have
1. I believe that you
more cash money.
2. You will probably have more
g-reen grazing for your livestock. i
3. Your land will have a close
growing crop in the winter and there
»
fore will not wash SO' badly.
4. A winter, legume should collect
soil about 1
and store up in your as
much nitrogen, the costliest plant
food that we buy, as 150 lbs. of ni- i
irate of soda.
5. By turning under this green
crop, your land should work more
easily, and hold water better,
by adding still more to your crop j
■
yields for the next two or three
years.
If I can help you on this—feel
free to call on me.
Yours truly,
J. F. REID, County Agent,
terracing—
(Excerpt from AAA Conservation
Materials and Service Letter.)
Probably the most needed soil
building practice contained in the
194 2 Georgia Handbook is the con
j struction of terraces of a type
which will meet AAA specifications,
It is conservatively estimated that
more than 500,000 miles of standard
terraces are needed on Georgia
farms, yet in 1941 only 2,300 miles
of terraces which would meet AAA
specifications were constructed. Ter
races alone will not completely con
trol erosion, but good, properly main
tained terraces are the foundation
without other soil conserving and
improving practices can only be par
tially effective on most of the culti
vated land in Georgia.
There are a number of good rea
sons why more terracing is not be
ing done. Nevertheless, •we are
firmly convinced that terrace con
struction can be expanded, and that
all agencies of the Department work
ing together can use the terracing
services described below to obtain
results which will compare favorably
with the expanded use of phosphate,
limestone, lespedea, and winter le-i
gume seed.
Since heavy terracing equipment!
cannot possibly do any large frac- j
««•.«*«•» W1 m he few year -- *> 11 Georgia) Wll! be

’Farmers are not generally con-j
vmced that it is practical for them ,
to build terraces of the type which
will if this meet standard is specifications it will andj
program a success,
be necessary that effective demon
strations be held throughout the
county to actually show producers
that terrace construction with their
own labor and equipment is practical
and economical.
Terrace Construction on Purchase
Order—In order that all available
terracing equipment may be used to

same time, producers obtain their
terraces without immediate cost.
Where each service is desired, the
county committee recommends a fair
price for terrace construction, which
is approved by this office and by
"Washington. The producer desiring
this service negotiates directly
with whomever he wishes to cor
struct his terraces and a price per
linear feet of terrace is agreed on
for th’e farm, which takes into ac
count its difficulty, the amount of
old terraces to be torn down and
other factors which will influence
the cost of construction. (The indi
vidual or concern which constructs
the terraces may or may not agree
to run terrace lines, open terrace
ends, or do slip work necessary in
completing fills.) If this practice
does not exceed the fair price ap
proved for the county by more than
25c and if it is considered reasonable
for the farm by the county commit
tee a work order is issued.
When the construction of terraces
on a farm is complete, they are
measured and checked by the county
performance supervisor to determine
whether , the ,, work , obligated , .. , , will ...
meet AAA specifications. Payment
for all terraces constructed during
any month is usually made in from
„ 10 „ , to , 15 _ days , after the ,, close . of
that month at the rate of 100 linear
feet agreed on. The actual cost of
construction is deducted from the
producer , , agricultural , , , conservation ,.
s
payments; however, he receives cred
it for terrace construction (up to
the amount of his soil building al
lowance) at the rate of /5c per lin
ear feet, provided necessary outlets
are established (this can be done in
the spring of 1943), and any neces
ary work not obligated by the person
c<mstru , cting t he terraces is com
pleted _
The concer „ w individual doing
terrace construction is not required
to post bond or enter into any form
of contract. There is no obligation
tn perform anv 7 snecified P amount of
the on!y requirement being .
the price agreed on for each
arm must be approved by the eoun
ty committee and that terraces must
mee t AAA specifications. Please note
this service is not limited to
heavy equipment. Any individual
w }j 0 ^ as a f arm tractor or slip pan
and ^he ability to construct accepta
ble terraces is eligible to participate
and should be urged to do so.
Anyone desiring to contract to
build terraces to meet AAA specifi
cations in Early county should sub
mit proposition to local AAA office.
