POULTRY SALES
The last poultry sale, Friday, did
not get quite as many chickens as it
should have, although the sale did
very well. The next sale will be on
Friday, .June 26th, at Hartwell and
will probably be the last one rtf this
season unless we see more chickens
in sight. It was believed that these
regular sales could be kept up until
July, and we feel that the next one
■will get a good bunch of stuff.
WHY DO YOU DO IT?
Why do you patronize poultry
sales? And do you do so regularly,
or do you just run from place to
place, being enticed by a cent better
hert> and a cent better there?
Tin principle of cooperative mar
keting is absolutely sound, and
should have #our support. If co
operative sales are not sound, tell
US about it, instead of spreading poi
son talk elsewhere. The matter will
bear open investigations and com
ment. If they are not sound, then
help work out a sound system of mar
keting.
If they are sound, then do your
best to help them out. Not only
that, but help to educate your
neighbor into believing in,them. The
farmers of Hart county can never
make more than a bare living as long
as they listen to this an 4 that put
out by people who have personal in
terest only to serve.
Hart county is the second county
in the state to join with other coun- ;
ties in establishing poultry sale
routes. If it is encouraged by ev- j
eriyone, this county can in a few
years market one half million dollars |
worth of poultry products yearly.

fer you. Mr. Tabor was for several i
years with the Extension Division,
and be thus had an opportunity to
see many improved methods of farm
ing which were being practiced about
over the state.
The suggestions of Mr. Ward con
cerning boll weevils are also good,
as outlined in this same issue.
CULTIVATING COTTON
Bear in mind that cotton which is
several inches high shbuld not be
plowed deep. Watch that scooter. I
The chances are that YOU are let
ting yours run too deep if you use
one. Folks, the old scooter and
scrape is ruining as much cotton as
it is helping in Hart county. You
may not think they are going deep
but they are.
We are glad to see more people
using the spring tooth harrow, going
one trip to the row. By this method
you can cultivate twice as often, and
thereby control grass and weeds. Fix
yours up and use it. We will be
glad to come out and assist you if
you are in doubt about it being a
good tool. We can give you good
references to folks who are using
this tool to advantage.
WHEAT YIELDS
Wheat seems to be very good this
year. We have heard of some good
yields, but the best so far seems to
be that of Mrs. J. A. Wood, of Cross
Roads, who made 97 1-2 bushete on
four acres.
We would be glad to have your
report on grain yields, in order that
. it may be published here, as it will
encourage others to sow more wheat
| and oats. Drop us a card. It will
help your friends and neighbors who
read it.
TOMATO ROTS
Tomatoes are rotting now because
of the dry weather. Rain will stop
the disease, which is not caused by
germs or other organisms.
Worms in tomatoes can be con
trolled by spraying well with arsen
ate of lead mixed one tablespoonful
to a gallon of water. Dusting light
ly will also do the work.
Cabbage worms can be controlled
by dusting the cabbages lightly with
calcium arsenate, or by spraying it
on.
CANTELOUPE WORMS
The canteloupe worm which bores
into the melon before it ripens is
hard to control. About the only
remedy is to lay the young melon
on a board.
SPRAY PEACHES
Now is the time to spray Elberta
peaches, and others which ripen
about the same time. Use Dry Mix,
with afsenate of lead added. This
prevents Brown Rot at time of ripen
ing, and also worms which are found
in the ripe peaches.
Sorghum Dangerous.
It is dangerous to graze sorghum
now during the extremely dry weath
er. Hydrocyanic acid gas forms in
it. This is gas in one of the most
deadly known to man, and extremely
small quantities of it will kill ani
mals. A few cows have been re
ported being made sick with eating
sorghum in this county this -year.
The sorghum can be cut, and af
ter curing for 12 hours, it is safe for
feeding.
Be careful about wild cherry trees
in your pasture. The > grass is so
scarce now that animals may .be
tempted to eat wild cherry leaves.
The result is the same as with sor
ghum, except that it is more dan
gerous. Especially do not allow ani
mals to eat the leaves from cherry
trees which have blown down be
cause of winds. The wilted leaves
will almost certainly kill animals that
eat them.
SODA ON COTTON
It will pay yet to top dress cotton
with soda. Try a little.
MEXICAN JUNE CORN.
Mexican June corn is a fine varie
ty to plant after stubble. It is ear
ly, and is a pretty good corn, of a
good quality. Be sure that you have
enough corn planted.
BOLL WEEVILS
Have you found any boll weevils
yet? Look well. Go out and ex
amine about fifty stalks in one place,
then skip over to another place and
do the same. Keep this up until
you have examined fifteen to twenty
spots about over the field. By this
you can get some idea as to how
many weevils you have.
Do not think that there are no |
weevils to come out yet. Good sue- j
cessful farmers and business men
stand and honestly say that weevils
I are through coming out, but this
1 1 does not make it so. They are not
I through coming out yet, and will
• come out for a month yet. As to
I whether they will hurt you or not, ■
|no man can tell. It depends on the
1 radius we have, and other things.
' If you are seeking information on
this point, ask for complete bulletin.
• | It makes statements that cannot be
H denied later. This cannot be said
> of talk.
TESTING COWS
Bear in mind that cows will be
I tested again the week of July 6th.
| Stops will be made wherever 5 cows
: can be assembled. Many admitte 1
that they neglected to list their
i names last time. Be careful «that
I you do not do this again.
The farmers of the county should
■ give credit to the City of Hartwell,
and particularly to the efforts of
, | Mayor A. S. Richardson for the cow
' i testing work in the county. Mr.
’ Richardson has worked hard to help
• | put this over. The City of Hartwell
' - has paid out several dollars on this
I work, to carry the tester around,
; simply in order to have the work
| done more efficiently. Many farm
' ' ers have already expressed deep ap
' | preciation for this.
Bear in mind that the testing was
! done through the State Veterinary
• j Department.
