Don't Guess—Soil Test
Just as oil is necessary for top per
formance of a tractor engine, lime
is essential for top crop production.
How is lime essential?
First, it corrects soil acidity. Lim
ing an acid soil is especially needed
for legumes such as alfalfa, Liming
also is necessary for high yields of
non-legumes such as cotton and corn.
Lime supplies plant nutrients. All
plants need calcium and magnesium
for growth. On soils low in one or
both these nutrients, the use of
liming materials containing these ele
ments will increase per acre yields.
Lime makes other plant nutrients
more available, Acid soils lock up
some plant nutrients, especially phos
phorus. Liming a strongly acid soil
will unlock these plant nutrients and
make them more available to growing
plants.
Lime promotes bacterial activity.
Bacteria are the life of a soil. They
are responsible for breaking down or
ganic matter (such as corn and cot
ton stalks) in the soil and also for
making soil nitrogen more available.
Since most bacteria cannot live in a
very acid soil, liming acid soils in
crease bacterial activity.
So you see, lime is very important
for successful crop production. The
amount of lime to use will depend
on several things: (1) the kind of crop
(2) the type of soil (heavy clay soils
require more lime to change acidity
than lighter, sandier soils), (3) the
acidity of the soil, and (4) the amount
of organic matter.
The only sure way to fnd out the
lime needs for a particular soil and
crop is to have a soil test made. You
may over-lime if you guess at how
much to use. So Don't Guess—Soil
Test!
801 l Weevil On Starvation Diet
Put boll weevils on a starvation diet
this fall and they won't give you as
much trouble next spring.
Cotton insect control for next year's
crop begins the day you finish pick
ing this year's crop, according to
Larry Torrance, special cotton agent
for the University of Georgia Coopera
tive Extension Service.
By starving the boll weevils from
the time a field is picked until the
weevils are ready to go into hil:»erna-1
tion, the number surviving the win
ter will be greatly reduced. |
The goal is to reduce to as few as
possible the number of weevils that
will survive after harvest and go into
hibernation, and to weaken those that
do hibernate.
The best possible way to do this
is to destroy stalks as soon as har
vesting is completed. Time is a major
factor in this weevil control measure.
Mr. Torrance suggests destroying
stalks with a conventional stalk cut
ter, rotary mower or disc harrow.
To be effective, early stalk destruc
tion should be practiced by all cot
fon growers in a community or area.
Mr. Torrance urges growers to con
tact their neighbors so that weevil
destruction in their area will be as
nearly complete as possible,
Prevent Damage Of
Corn In Storage
A farmer's corn crop is far from
being safe, even though it is harvest
ed and swred in the crib, declares en
tomologists for the University of Geor
gia Agricultural Extension Service.
There are too many insects, in addi
tion to other pests, looking for a free
meal.
The rice weevil is the most serious
insect of stored corn in the state.
Others include the Angoumois grain
moth, Indian meal moth and several
species of grain and flour beetles.
Infestation by the rice weevil and
several other insects may start in the
field before harvest. Other common
causes of infestation listed are stor
ing corn in infested buildings, storing
new corn on top of old, storing milled
feeds nea cribs or bins, moving grain
in infested vehicles and sacking corn
in infested bags.
Harvesting corn as soon as it ma
tures is important in preventing field
infestation.
First step in preventing later infes- |
tation is to clean thoroughly all old
grain, trash and refuse fsom cribs or
bins. All surfaces, cracks and crcvicos‘
should then be sprayed with a five
percent DDT solution before storage.
DDT should not be used after corn is
stored.
Shelled corn can be treated with a
protectant such as premium grade
Malathhion or synergized pyrethrin
sprays, which afford protection
throughout the storage period, accord
ing to the entomologist,
If not protected with one of these
chemiecals, corn should be fumigated.
Corn must be shelled and bins air
tight for effective fumigation.
One of the following materials is
recommenged for fumigation: (1) 4
parts carbon tetrachloride plus one
part carbon disulfide; (2) one part
carbon tetrachloride plus three parts
ethylene dichloride; or (3) methyl
bromide. ;

A Thought for Teday . By: Edsel W. Bryan
“Necessity is often the spur to genius. . ..” Balzae
The foregoing is. if anything, a rather difinite
understatement as need has long been good that is
certain to spark genius to life. Genius sometimes
tends to lie fallow and produces far short of its po
tential. Necessity, however, whether it is born of
spiritual or financial drive, or merely a longing for
the materialistic, puts genius to work where other
spurs may fall.

Shell engineer uses stethoscope to help detect noise the ear alone can’t hear. Super Shell fights three different engine noises to give you top performance.
How 3 of Super Shell’s 9 ingredients fight
engine noise—including one hard-to-hear form of
knock that could lead to real damage
HELL scientists will tell you that any
S good gasoline should reduce engine
noise. That's why they include no less
than three noise-fighters in Super Shell’s
9-ingredient blend. Here’s how they work
to help give you a soft-spoken engine—
and top performance.
How Super Shell fights
high-speed knock
High-speed knock makes a sharp, high
pitched noise —like metal tapping against
metal. Because it's most likely to occur
in hot engines at turnpike speeds, high
speed knock is often difficult to hear.
But even though you may not hear it,
high-speed knock can pound away at
pistons—even lead to costly damage.
Fortunately, high-speed knock isn't too
common. But Shell scientists have known
about it for a long time. Ever since they *
pioneered the development of a substance
called Alkylate to help control high-speed
knock in aircraft engines. Today, Alkylate
is an ingredient in Super Shell gasoline.
How Super Shell fights wild ping
Wild ping doesn’t last long. It sounds like
the erratic beat of a nervous drummer.
This clatter is actually a series of prema
ture explosions. They're caused by glow
ing deposits that ignite the fuel too soon.
Super Shell's famous TCP* additive
tackles this problem. It acts to “fireproof”
deposits that might glow. Result: chance
of wild ping is greatly reduced.
How Super Shell fights
ordinary knock
Most people have heard ordinary knock.
It may sound to you like marbles dropping
into an empty oil drum.
Super Shell’s anti-knock mix is so
powerful that a teaspoon per gallon is
enough to raise anti-knock rating a
full five points.
This anti-knock mix helps regulate the
combustion of Super Shell. Thus, each
piston gets a firm, even push. Not a sharp,
jarring jolt. ,
Now, read how the other six ingredi
ents in Super Shell’s 9-ingredient blend
help you get top performance.
How Super Shell's other ingredients
help you get top performance
Cat-cracked gasoline helps your engine
deliver smooth, even power.
