Butts county farmers who have not

farmers had made application, an' l
that the 68,205 farmers whose appli
cations had been approved had been
paid $2,038,475. Brown said that
( 0.379 farmers who grew cotton last
\ ear and no doubt sold cotton on
which they are due a payment, had
r.ot made application.
11c pointed out that farmers who
wish to get their applications through
ithout de’ay need to apply now, be
fore the forces for checking and ap
pioving the applications are greatly
reduced.

San do. Th fir present record — 5*J(H> IN. tractive pull, sehich is equivalent to
pulling 9 plows cutting furious 14 inches svidc and 6 inches deep.
tX THAT A RECORD! Never have these mighty champions hern

1 hest* magnificent Belgians are Nature at her best. They arc
animals to \\ hich Nature has given the vital spark—that necessary,
natural balance of all the elements of which champions are made.
Natural balance is everything! It’s the difference between this
team of powerful champions and common, ordinary plugs. It’s the
difference between the best and the rest in almost everything.
And here’s another example of Nature at her best—Natural
L hilean Nitrate. This nitrogen fertiliser is favored by Nature with
the champion’s vital spark—the natural balance of the elements
that make a champion. Into Chilean Nitrate Nature blended the
yital impurities the combination of many major and minor ele
ments over and hevond nitrogen. Through countless centuries,
Nature has aged and matured this nitrogen fertiliser in the ground,
that >ou may return it to \our ground as the safe, sure, balanced
fvMnl for your crops.
Natural C hiicmi contains almost tuo score of major
and minor elements such as boron, magnesium, man
ganese, iodine , calcium, potassium , etc-—each u vital
element in giowth ami healthy development of plants.

has nothing to do with the 1936 soil
conservation program, but is merely
the farmer making application for
money due him under the cotton sub
sidy plan, whether the farmer co
operated with the old adjustment or
not.
The subsidy payment due a farmer
is the difference between 12 cents a
pound and the average price of cot
ton on the 12 designated spot mark
els the day he sold his cotton. Brown
ponts out that althouch a farmer may
have sold his cotton for more than
12 cents, due to good grade and
staple, if the average price that day
was less than 12 cents he may still
be entitled to subsidy payment.
County agents have a record of
the daily average price of cotton on
the designated 12 spot markets, and
also a supply of subsidy application
blanks.

Weather Conditions
Holding Back Crops
COOL AND DRY WEATHER DE
LAY OPERATIONS. LARGER
WHEAT CROP FORECAST AND
PEACH OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
In its report of May 1, the Geor
gia Crop Reporting Service says that,
continuous rain during March and
early April delayed farm operations
in all sections of the stale and caused
crops to be later than usual. Crops
in the southern part of the state
that were planted before April 1
were delayed by cooi weather and
txcesive rain, making it necessary to
plant over in many cases.
In the nonhen and midstate terri
toiy the soil became hard and dry
before all preparation and planting
<ould be completed after the hard
packing rains in April. It will be
impossible to complete planting in
many sections until moistuie is re
ceived and poor stands wi'l iikely
result where insufficiently prepared
land has already been seeded.
Wheat—Production of wheat,
based on condition as of May 1, is
placed at 855,000 bushels as com
pared to a production of 805,000 last
year and the 5-year (1928-32) aver
age of 510,000 bushels. The re
ported condition was 77 per cent of
normal; one year ago 79 per cent was
reported, and 76 per cent for the
9-year period (1923-1932).
Oats —The May 1 condition of oats
in Georgia was 76 per cent normal
compared with 79 per cent reported
on May 1, 1935. According to our
reporters, Fall or Winter Oats make
up 85 per cent of total oats acreage
and spring oats amount to 16 per
cent.
Pasture —The reported condition
of 74 per cent is 7 points below last
yeiy and 4 points below the 9-year
(1923-32) average.
Peaches —Reports indicate that
peach prospects are generally good
this year, especially in the middle
and southern areas. In the north
ern section of the state cold weather
did some damage to the bud crop.
The reported condition of 70 per
cent indicates a production of about
6,020,000 bushels. This is the total
agricultural crop, greater nhan and
including the commercial crop. Final
production last year amounted to 10,-
891,000 bushels.
Cultivation For Kudzu
Necessary First Year
To control erosion on Georgia
farms, many kudzu plants have been
oet during the past planting season,
L. E. Rast, State Coordinator of the
Soil Conservation Service, reports.
Clean cu'tivation of the kudzu dut
ing the first year will permit the
plants to spread like a huge net over
eroding fields.
From iihe joints on the vinos, the
plants send their roots down into the
soi' and weave a complete luxuriant
cover. Before a kudzu field may be
used for hay and pasture there must
be many more rooted plants than
were originally set out. These new
plants will develop of their own ac
cord if the soil is cultivated during
the first year or two.
Cu'tivation controls weeds, gives
runners a chance to take hold in the
yoil, and does away with the com
petition of weeds for moistuie.
Broomsedge is one of the worst en
emies of kudzu. Plow it out then go
over th<- field with a hoe to dig out
remaining plants in the rows, says
Rast.
The practice of clean cultivation
will keep the -„U in good shape, per
mitting the kudzu crowns to send
roots down into moist soil until there
are three or four plants to every
square yard of surface. This num
ber mu-', come from the joints which
cannot root unless they lie on moist
dean cultivated ground.
