prospects-in these vegetable crops.
Many vegetables such as siring
beans and lima beans may still be
planted for canning at regular in
tervals during the summer,
The Bogart Vocational eannery is
set to can under the same set of
rulés it canned under last year.
There are, however, a few things
we would like to call to our pa
trons’ attention.
N.mber one on the list is for
each family to plan for its heeds
(around 500 quarts of fruits, veg

five). Number two is to plant for

We fellows that work with Kou
at the plant would like to call a
few things to our patrons’ atten
tion about the operation of the
cannery. -
The charges are the same for
canning they have been for the
last nine years: No. 2's—l cent;
| No. 3’s—ll% cents per can, A pen
ny per can is added when patrons
do not bring fuel to fire the boiler.
By the way, the boiler will burn
stove wood, cord wood, blocks,
sawed slabs, blocks you can’t split,
serap lumber, fence posts, and
| ebal. Surely you have a few of
| the kinds mentioned above.
! One rule of the cannery a few
| of our folks forget about is the
fact that each patron is to carry
his own tomato peels, peach peels,
| eorn cobs, etc. home with him.
| We don’t want our school grounds
I to become a dump, do we?
| Our canning patrons, we feel, |
' are the best in Georgia. They clean |
| up good and take real pride in|
canning. They come {o the can
nery often with lots of fruits,
vegetables and meats. They m’cnl
bras about their own canning'
- abilitv. Sp let’s continue doing a|
' good job. Let-us help you all we !
can. It is a pleasure to work with,

Caiton Fields
Bollworms "and boll weevils!
have alreadv apneared in north|
| ond south Georgia to attack the|
1951 eotton crop, E. C. Westbrook,
Georgin Extension Service cotton
| specialist, srid todav in urging
| farmers to inspect fields closely
' and poison the eron where these!
| pests are causing damage,
“The crouesnt has been brokenl
' in most sections of the state”
| Westbrook asserted, “and smal!‘
numbers of weevils are in cotton
fields threughout the state.” ‘
; The cotton specialist continued
i that bollworms apneared in cotton
fields in south Georgia recently,
did some damage, and then seemed
to disaprear.
“Whether this pest went to corn
fields or not we don’t know,” he
stated, “but this early appearance
of the hollworm is cause for con
cern.” Westbrook sugested that 10
nercent DDT is. recommended for
. bollworm control. bnt he advised
that_the use of DDT be withheld
until there are enough bollworms
present to justify using it.
Calling attention to another sit- l
uvation he has found in visiting
nnmerous counties in the state.'
Westbrook said he has discovered |
that many dealers, who sell cottonl
dusting and soraving ecuipment
know verv little about using such |
equipment. “It is desirable thati
such dealers contact local countv
agents and find out how such]
equipment should be operated to
| get maximum efficiencv,” he said.i
The specialist continued that
“the nozzles should be over and
directly sbove the tops of cottonl
nlants. They should not be al
lowed to drag in the cotton plants
and should be adjusted so that
| poison is distributed uniformly
over the plant.” y
" Westbrook advised that if after
noon showers are washing off
noisons a quick-acting poison like
BHC be used very early in the
morning or following the showers.
“Georgia farmers will find it
advisable to make infestation
counts often during the next three
weeks, and apply pofson when
I there are appreciable signs of ac
tivity,” he concluded.

Chemical Plant Food Is Quickly Available to Plants When Applied in
I'rench on Each Side of Row.
In the home vegetable garden and
flower borders, fertility need not be
- a problem. A deep black loam is a
joy to 'work, and will grow beau
tiful plants, but any porous top soil
into which an adequate amount of
commercial plant food and what hu
mus we can obtain are spaded will
do as well, even though it is not
black.
Four to six -pounds of a balanced
plant food mixture to each 100
square.-feet of garden area will be:
sufficient in most cases. To give an”
exira finish to the crop, do not hesi
tate to use more, applied as matur
ity approaches. If during the season.
plants show signs of deficieney, this
should be corrected.
Deficiency symptoms include the
following: When leaves turn light
green or yellow, but do not fall off,
nitregen is lacking, When leaf mar
gins brown, especially the lower
leaves, potash is needed. Plants
stunted in growth probably need
more phosphorus. ; ’
It is rarely necessary. to get a
soil test for a small garden. A com
plete plant food will take care of
deficiencies without givinig a harm
ful overdose of any, if used accord
ing to instructions.
The point is being stressed that
well-fed crops do not reduce the
amount of humus in the soil, since
more humus is produced by the
roots of plants than by their tops.
A heavy crop, fed by any sort of
plant food, will leave more humus
than it found. 5
The heaviest application of plant
food should be made at the begin

|ning of the season, and here com
| mercial plant food has a distinet ad
| vantage. It is available to plants at
[ low temperatures and will stimulate
{growth during the cool weather,
| Organic plant food has to be brok
‘eri down by bacteria before the
planis can use it, and this requires
! a temperatlzre of at least 70 degrees.
To get th® most out of plant food,
the following methods” of applica
tioh are recornmended by research
£ers:
1 1. On seils which are acid, test
ing below pHS, plant food should
be concentrated in bands or pock
jets, not touching plant roots but
within easy reach.
2. On sweet soils, testing above
pHS, spade plant food theroughly
into the soil, evenfy and deeply.
To apply the first method stretch
|the line to mark the row in which
| seeds are to be planted. Then not less
than two inches away on either side,
make a furrow four inches deep.
Pour plant food into each furrow at
the rate of one pound (or pint) for 50
‘|feet, and cover it with earth. Then
‘|make the drill in which seed are
to be sown and proceed with plant
ing as usual.
The standard application of a bal
anced plant food is 4 pounds per
100 square feet (a space 10 x 10 feet
square). You may figure one pound
per pint, so an area 10 by 10 ft. re
quires two quarts. One quart will
|feed 50 square feet and one pint 25
square feet.
Where smaller quantities are re
quired, use a rounded tablespoon
per square foot.
If a broiler is slow in feathering
and has a bare back there will be
lots of pen-feathers to contend
’ with when the bird is dressed.
