On The Farm
Production

BY CARL BRAfcK
Butts County Agent
The reason supposedly is because
of insects killed by the cold.
Pecan Problems
Many people’s pecan trees did
not produce nuts this year. There
are many reasons why pecan
trees do not bear. Some of these
reasons are: (1) Insects and dis
eases, especially scab; (2) Cold
weather during pollination; (3)
Dry weather causing nut drop;
(4) Insufficient fertilization in
cluding lime and zinc.
There are other reasons, but
these are the major ones. If I had
to select the ones that does the
most damage consistently it
would be the disease “scab.”
Trees can be protected from
scab and other diseases only by
spraying. This requires a sprayer
of very high velocity, depending
on the size of the trees.
There are a few of these spray
ers in the county. However, in
order for spraying to be profita
ble to the operator, the orchard
must have more than a few trees.
In some cases, a number of tree
owners may have all their trees
sprayed at once. By doing this,
spraying would be profitable to
the sprayer and cheaper to the
tree owners.
These factors are the reason
why nut trees do not produce ev
ery year.

dency to lose leaves during the
winter. The highly colorful cro
ton plant is a good example. All
of a sudden there is a shower-like
dropping of the lower leaves. This
dropping may be attributed to
several factors. In the main there
are two—humidity and temper
ature. Crotons do not like a tem
perature much below 70 degrees,
with a room temperature this high
the humidity will be quite low. To
overcome such a low humidity
will require almost a daily mois
tening or spraying of the plant
with water. Another method to
help overcome the low humidity is
to set the pot on a tray or pan of
pebbles. Water should be added
to the tray occasionally. It will
evaporate and raise the humidity
around the plant somewhat. Also
keep the soil in the pot moist,
not wet, nor excessively dry for
best results.
Pig Numbers on the Increase
Pig numbers are increasing ac
cording to last month’s Crop Re
porting Service livestock figures.
The 1969 fall pig crop in Georgia
is estimated at 1,248,000 head—
eight percent above the June-No
vember, 1968, crop of 1,159,000
head. Sows farrowed during the
period totaled 171,000 head—up
10,000 from the same period last
year.
Georgia Farmers reported in
tentions to farrow 211,000 sows
during the December, 1969-May,
1970, period. This would be 12
percent above the 188,000 a year
ago and 17 pecent above the same
December-May period of 1968.
