Are you planning to grow
cotton next year?
If you are, your cotton insect
control program begins the day
you finish picking this year’s
cotton crop.
You should destroy those cot
ton stalks as early as possible
this fall. This will stop weevil
reproduction andcause the wee
vils to starve or start the
winter in a weakened condition.
These destroyed cotton
stalks, if left in the fields, will
aid in soil conservation and fu
ture soil preparation provided
the stalks are cut into small
pieces.
If this practice is really to be
effective every cotton grower
in this area must practice it.
Just one field of stalks can
carry enough weevils to create
lots of trouble next year.

To prevent the stitches from
popping while wearing knit fab
rics use a stitch size of about
12 stitches to an inch. As the
seam passes under the pres
sure foot, exert a little pres
sure by stretching so the there
is some tension on the seam.
Stitching the seam under tension
allows it to relax after stit
ching and helps prevent popping.
Double stitch or reinforce all
seams at points of stress. An
example would be the under
arm of a kimono sleeve.
If you have that kind
of machine, a zig zag stitch
makes a strong seam. Seams
are stitched with standard mer
cerized thread about size 60.
Although double knits are ad
vertised not to need lining, I
think you will find that it helps
prevent them from becoming
sprung and shapeless in the
back.
You will want to use a sep
arate lining and it should be
about 1/8” to 1/4” smaller than
the outside garment. This re
moves some of the strain from
the garment. The lining should
be joined to the waistline of the
skirt only.
When making a garment that
requires interfacing be careful
not to use one that is so firm
the hand of the fabric is chang
ed. You also want to be care
ful that it is not too bulky.
Waistbands should be re
inforced with an interfacing or
grosgrain belting which has
been pre-shrunk.
When hemming, use a tailor
hem, that is, make it flat. You
can overcast the edges, or
double stitch them or use a
zig zag stitch. Then finish it
by using a catch stitch which
is flat and holds well.
Sometimes you have a knit
that needs rehemming. To do
this, remove the old row of
stitching, run several rows of
machine stitching around the
edge of the new hem, and cut the
excess off.
If the garment is not hemmed
you will have to take up the
length at the waistline.
Remove the waistband or sep
arate skirt and bodice. Raise
the skirt until the hemline is
correct. Run several rows of
machine stitching at the new
waistline seam and cut off the
excess. If there are darts you
must then readjust them.
What is the most profitable
rate of fertilizer and lime to
apply?
More and more farmers are
asking this question. The an
swer is difficult because of the
many factors involved. Ob
viously, the most profitable rate
of fertilization will vary from
year to year. The season and
price of farm products and fer
tilizer vary. Also, the possi
bility of insects and diseases
must be considered.
One factor is the expected
crop increas from each amount
of fertilizer added. This
depends in large measure on the
plant nutrients already in the
soil. For example, cotton re
sponds to potash to a greater
extent on a low rather than a
high potash soil. This points up
the fact that the greatest re
turn per dollar spent on fer
tilizer will he obtained on soil
already containing an adequate
supply is not profitable. Use a
soil test to determine the nu
trient level of fields.
The cost of the fertilizer and
the expected price of the crop
should be considered. If the
price of the crop increases,
more fertilizer can be used. But
if the price decreases, less fer
tilizer should be used.
With optimun fertilization
rates, a large percentage of the
fertilizer may be carried over
to the next year's crop. It is
not always fair to charge the
entire cost of fertilizer to the
crop due to carry-over ferti
lizer may be sufficient to pay
for the fertilizer application on
this year's crop. The carry
over effect during a dry season
is .reater than during a favor
able season.
It is not easy to perdict bow
much fertilizer is necessary to
produce a given amount of crop
yield. Generally speaking, a
farmer will gain over a long
period by following soil test
recommendations.
No good businessman would
think of investing money in a
venture without obtaining esti
mates of the outcome. Likewise,
a doctor would not perform an
appendix operation without a lab
test to check blood count. Yet,
that is exaxtly what a farmer
does when fertilizer or lime is
applied without a soil test. He
is adding fertilizer in much the
same manner as trying to hit
a tar-et blindfolded.
The value of compost or ani
mal manures to increase the or
ganic matter content of garden
soils is unquestioned. Organic
matter imporoves the water
holding capacity of sandy soils
and the drainage of heavy soils.
It improves aeration and per
meability allowing movement of
air and water in the soil. It
provides a quantity of primary
and secondary nutrients needed
for plant growth.
Some will go further
and claim that vegetables grown
the “organic way” are not sub
ject to attack by inssets and
deseases and that these vege
tables are somehow vastly su
perior to those grown with com
mercial fertilizer. Such claims
of organic gardening
"miracles” are not supported
by research. Judicious use of
organic matter in the garden
won't produce any miracles, but
it will help you grow some fine
vegetables.
Animal manure is an
excellent source of organic
matter, but it is becoming in
creasingly scarce. Compost is
good and every gardener has
materials and space for acom-
post pile.
Building a compost pile is
not an exacting process. It may
be built in a bin formed with
wire or board sides or it may
be crowned up without the bene
fit of a bin.
Alternate six-inch deep
layers of organic matter such
as lawn clippings or leaves with
one-inch layers of garden soil.
Add a shovelful or two of animal
manure to each layer of garden
S °H- This insures that
ample bacteria and fungi will
be present to break down the
organic matter. For a compost
pile covering an area of five
by five feet, sprinkle two cups
of garden fertilizer on each lay
er of organic matter. Moisten
each layer. Treat each suc
cessive layer in the same man
ner.
The completed compost heap
can be covered with a plactic
sheet to maintain moisture or
it may be watered at intervals
to prevent drying. Turning the
pile two or three times during
the winter will speed up bac
terial and fungal activity and in
sure that the organic mat er is
reduced to compost in time to
be used in the spring garden.

The next few weeks would be
an ideal time to carry out
"postponed” farm conservation
work, according to H. A. Sealy,
Chairman, Agricultural Stabili
zation and Conservation County
Committee. This applies parti
cularly to practices under the
Agricultural Conservation
Program which call for the
building of structures or for the
major reshaping of land-use
patterns, lie said.
The Chairman pointed out that
many acres at this time are
not devoted to crops, as they
are normally, because of di
version under the 1962 feed
grain and wheat stabilization
programs, as well as the Con
servation work done while the
land is clear and before the
winter weather sets in.
Whether or not the acreage
is to be used for crops during
the coming year, the local ACP
almost surely includes an ap
propriate practice which could
help conserve or umprove the
land, Mr. Sealy said, for the
program is designed spe
cifically to meet local needs
and conditions.
If the land is to go back into
production, now would be a good
time to put in or plan such
measure as terracing and
waterways, to prevent or check
erosion and control water. If
the land now is in grass and
will not be needed for crops
next year, perhaps the farmer
should begin to think about
keeping it in permanent cover
or devoting more acres to trees.
Whatever the conservation
needed on the individual farm
the farmer who wishes ACP
cost-sharing should first check
with the ASCS county office, to
see if assistance would be a-
vailable to him in carrying out
the practice.
