THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA On The Farm Production Front 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.

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. Walter Adams, Former Pastor, Died Recently The Rev. Walter S.
