Buy Calves Soon For Spring Sale, Says Specialist Four-H Club members who plan to feed out steers for sale next spring should get them in time to take advantage of sum mer pasture, William J. Hayes, assistant livestock specialist for the University of Georgia Agri cultural Extension Service, said this week. Hayes pointed out that calves bought during the next few weeks can make considerable gain in weight from summer pasture plus a small amount of supple ment. “This extra gain in many instances would mean the differ ence between loss and profit,'’ he said. “Only in a few oases can a 4-H member show a profit on a calf bought 90 days before a sale and put on full feed,” Hayes de clared. “These calves usually lack finish and quality and have not actually gained very much weight,” he explained. The livestock specialist said that the 12 feeder-stock calf sales coming up in August and September over the state present a good opportunity for buying suitable calves. All calves offer ed in these sales will be graded according to U. S. Feeder grades of Fancy, Choice, Good and Medium. The Fancy grade feed er calves are capable of feed ing out to Prime slaughter grade and the Choice feeders to either Choice or, in some cases, even to Prime slaughter grade, he explained. Hayes said that although cal ves purchased in these August and September sales cannot be kept on grass very long they will be in considerably better con dition for an early spring sale than those bought in late Novem ber and December. He said that 4-H members should not be discourager about feeding out calves this year al though some of them lost money at this last year. “Many 4-H’ers last year paid too high a price for calves,” he explained, 'but this year good calves can be pur chased for a reasonable price and feed supplies look encouraging. •* • • • • • ♦ S > • • « • • • • • • • * The Brantley Enterprise NEW BAPTIST CHURCH FORMED IN BLACKSHEAR Rev.

GEURIiIH POWER "n»LIGHT COmPHRV Nahunta, Georgia Thursday, August 20, 1953 Pecan Weevils Are Appearing In Pecan Trees Pecan weevils have begun their appearance in Georgia pecan or chards, according to George H. Firor, horticulturist for the Uni versity of Georgia Agricultural Extension Service. Firor stated that Max R. Os burn, entomologist, U. S. Pecan station, Albany, reported recently that as many as 10 weevils on one tree have been found by growers when the trees were bumped. Dr. C. T. Beckham, entomologist, Georgia Experiment Station, Ex periment, also reported the pre sence of pecan weevils in that vicinity. Firor said that the first appli cation of DDT or toxaphene should be applied when the gro wer finds a minimum of six wee vils on any one tree. A second application should be made in ten days or two weeks. The use of six pounds of 50 percent DDT wettable powder or six pounds of 40 percent toxa phene powder to 100 gallons of water is recommended. It was pointed out that DDT may be added to Bordeaux mixture, but toxaphene should not be used with Bordeaux mixture. FROST HURTS “SWEETS” William C. Carter, marketing specialist for the Agricultural Ex tension Service University of Georgia, says that sweet potatoes that are to be stored should be well matured before digging. “But they must be dug before frost if they are to be kept suc cessfully,” he added. “Experiment stations tests show that Porto Rico potatoes dug five days after a killing frost had as high as 70 percent increase in storage losses ever those dug before frost.” ICE CUBES FOR PARTIES Food preservationists for the Agricultural Extension Service say for flavoring cold drinks freeze tea, coffee, ginger ale, or fruit'juices in the ice cube tray. Fancy cubes may be made by filling the tray one-third full o: water and putting a twist of le mon peel or maraschino cherry in each section. 1953 TOBACCO SEASON CLOSES The 1953 tobacco auction sea son closed in Blackshear Fri day, with gross sales having reached a total of 12,053,988 pounds.
