In visiting over the county it is
obvious from the number of white
cotton blooms that cotton is trying
hard to make a bumper crop this
year in spite of adverse conditions
for almost the entire cotton season.
Lice are showing up in many fields
and could do considerable damage
Fred Cook has a small field of
mighty fine empire cotton and some
mighty fine Whatley’s and Tenn 10
corn.
Many farmers in Butts are now
preparing land for early winter graz
ing. With recent rains now is the
time to get land plowed while there
is a season in the ground. As you
plan your winter grazing don’t for
get to apply limestone and phosphate
using good seed from a reputable
seed source. Farmers expecting to
grow ceritfied seed next year should
have seed tested before planting.

BUTTS COUNTY
SOIL NEWS
By J. E. PAYNE, Soil
Conservation Service
A number of farmers in Butts
County cooperating with the Towal
iga Soil Conservation District have
signified their intentions to havj
plenty of winter grazing for their
cattle this winter. They are going to
do this by planting crimson clover,
rye grass and small grain fir this
purpose.
Several district cooperators have
already begun to prepare their land
for seeding their winter grazing mix-
tures. These farmers have found
out that to get good early grazing
you have to get it planted early. Also
they have discovered they must nave
a good seedbed to get a good stand.
Most of the farmers will prepare
their seedbeds early by flat break
ing the land and harrowing ,t several
times before seeding so that they
will have a firm, settled seedbed. By
using this method it gives them a
seedbed which will result in a better
stand and one that will give much
earlier grazing.
Lime, phosphate and basic
are available again on purchase or
der. You can get these fertilizer ma
terials delivered and spread on the
land by the lime spreading trucks.
These trucks are available most of
the time to the farmers in the coun
ty.
It is getting time to make plans
for the terracing that is to be done
in the county this fall and winter.
If you haven’t made plans, let’s make
them and if you desire to have ter
race line run this fall contact this
office as soon as possible so we can
make plans to get them run.
