Chemical Gets
Results as Weed
Ccntrol Method
By George A. Loyd
County Agent
Farmers participating in Brant
ley County’s Master Corn Pro
gram may want to try a new
chemical called Simazine for
weed control.
Research shows that a pre-e
--mergence application of two
pounds of Simazine in 20 to 40
gallons of water per acre gives a
good control of weeds. Applica
tion of three pounds per acre is
recommended for bottomland
soils.
Simazine should be applied at,
or soon after, planting before
corn and weeds come up. Such
treatment may give full season
control of most annual broadleaf
and annual grass weeds. Sima
zine also will give some control
of Johnson grass.
For economy, apply Simazine
in wide bands over the rows. Do
not cover treated areas with soil
unless weeds emerge.
Simazine depends upon soil
moisture for its weed killing ac
tivity. Therefore, ample rain
must fall during the early part
of the com growing season if
full benefit is to be received
from use of this chemical.
The increased cost of labor
within recent years and the ne
cessity of reducing the cost of
corn production to a minimum
has increased the use of chemi
cals for weed control in corn.
Weed control is another import
ant step toward high, economical
corn yields in the Master Corn
Program which aims for a coun
ty-wide production goal of 60
bushels per acre.

Right Fertilizer
And Good Seed
Increase Yield
Good planting seed of superior
varieties and the use of recom
mended amounts of lime and fer
tilizer are the basis for efficient
production on the Geise Usry
farm near Smithville, according
to Hugh A. Inglis, agronomist of
the University of Georgia Ex
tension service.
Mr. Usry specializes in certi
fied seed production, growing
188 acres of barley, 60 acres of
rye and 20 acres of peanuts for
certification. He also grows other
crops such as cotton, corn, s oy
beans and pecans which are not
certified.
As a result of his certified
seed production Mr. Usry was
able to supply a large amount of
Ga-Jet barley seed to seedsmen
and farmers in his area for
planting in the fall of 1962.
Mr. Usry, the agronomist said,
depends on soil test to determine
the amount of lime and fertilizer
needed for each crop.
On one 55-acre field of cotton,
he broadcast 500 pounds of 9-9-9
fertilizer before planting and
turned it under. Then, after the
cotton was up and growing, he
side-dressed it with 500 pounds
of fertilizer per acre. On another
20-acre field he applied 850
pounds per acre of a complete
fertilizer at planting.
The corn crop was planted
with hybrid seed in 40-inch rows
and fertilized with 750 pounds
per acre. On soybeans, he waited
until the beans were about four
inches high and then applied
400 pounds per acre of fertilizer.
He used DDT and other insecti
cides to control worms on the
crop.
Mr. Usry also broadcasts his
peanut fertilizer and turns it
under with a bottom plow. He
plants Spanish on one-third of
his land and runners on the re
mainder. When the peanuts be
gin to bloom, he applies 500
pounds of land plaster per acre.
On early grain used for graz
ing, Mr. Usry starts with 500
pounds of fertilizer per acre and
then in February top-dresses the
grain with a complete fertilizer.
Late-planted grain receives 700
pounds of fertilizer at planting
and a heavier topdressing of
complete fertilizer.
Mr. Usry also believes in using
plenty of fertilizer on his pas
tures, the Extension agronomist
said.

Capital credits are monies collect
