Agricutural
News Given by
County Agent

The Acreage Plan
For Year.
Letters have been sent to all cot
ton producers in the county stating
thal any excess cot , on acreage
th€ir 1939 allotment must be de
gtroyed before boiling time if the-op
era tor desires to destroy in order to
he incompliance in 1939. This week
we received an Amendment to this
lulln * whereby a fatmer may de
stroy the excess acreage after it
reaches boiling stage provided . he
does so within one week after he is
notified that his acreage is in ex
cess ot hi » aIlotI ™‘ nt - Bv ,de end
of this week we will have a full crew
111 lh * fle ‘ d » nd Jt e *’
*>«*<* that the checking will be
C ° mP ‘ eted earher than for 1938
It seems that some of the farm
ers of the county are aware of the
boll weevil menace while others are
tather indifferent to the heavy in
festation. Cotton is beginning to
square very rapidly and the weevil
from hibernation are there ready to
lay eggs and start a new brood We
believe that now is the time to real
* y°» r money’s worth for your!
P° lson ' The stalks have °" e cen,la ‘
bud and there is where the mature
weevl1 feeds ' A sma11 amoum of flr ‘
senate Is sufficient if placed in th?
central bud with a mop. We have
such a small acreage of cotton and
ihe price is so cheap that we cannot
afford to allow the weevil to de
stroy our crop.
Seed and fertilizer for an acre of
teal pasture would probably cost
abound $5.00 per acre. This is cheap
lor an acre but is too much mone>
lor most farmers on several acres
We should probably prepare and
^eed one to two acres each spring
and each fall till we have sufficient
acreage to carry the livestock usual
ly kept on the farm and then if w ; e
want some livestock income and
must increase the number of ani
mals we must fix additional acres ol
pasture land.
Several days ago tve were in the
Lunsford pasture and saw cattle fat
enough for slaughter and the pas
ture is good enough to carry an ani
mal per acre. This pasture has had
no improvement for over 15 years
still this land will make more cleat
money per acre than any simila.
land in this county. Our farmer
must begin pasture work intensive
ly if they expeci to replace the lost
cotton income. An acre of land that
already sodded (0 bermuda grass
should have 400 to i ooo pounds ol
p£usic slag per acre then .seeded to
wbite J ulcb clover, burr clover and
dallis grass. Treated this way heavy
grazing will be secured in the sum
mer ot 194Q land is very poo:
we would defer the burr clover for a j
vear and Rae d to hairy vetch Hair;
vetch will grow on poor land if
inoculated and fertilized with baste
slag. A good growth of vetch will
furnish grazing next spring and in
addition will supply about 50 to 75
pounds of nitrogen i>er acre which
would make the bermuda grass grow
and would also supply en-ugh hu-

REHABILITATION
FARMER MAKES
GOOD IN COUNTY
Operates 55-Acre Farm Near
Almon in This
County.
SPENT ONLY $50.00
FOR LIVING EXPENSES
DURING PAST YEAR
Had Only One Cow and a
Dozen Chickens Five
Years Ago.
Mr. and Mrs. Roger Reagan and
three children, who operate a 55
acre farm near Almon under the
rehabilitation department of the

correspondent Monday ,ri their suc
cesful efforts during the past five
years.

the entire family continue to work
toward improving every part of the
property.
This year Mr. Reagan has 15*i
acres in cotton; 40 acres in corn
and feed crops. The cotton and
corn are in fine shape and seem to
be about as good as could be found
in this section. He has 2 mules. 2
cows, a calf, 5 hogs and 50 chicken'-.
Mrs. Raegan has a beautiful gar
den which su ™ lies them with
amount of vegetables with enough
left to can some for winter. Last
year Mrs. Reagan canned 300 quart,
of fruit and vegetables. They expect
to put up more than 400 quarts this
year and are well on the way toward
this 8° al Last year they had 25 bu.
-
of potatoes sw * et and more than fhfo" 6 bu. o.
dr i ed f ru it to begin the winter on.
When question about tvhat he had
wbe n he started five years ago, Mr
Reagan grinned and advised the
writer that he had a total of one
cow. a dozen chickens and owed
many debts. Today, the Reagan fam
ily has aJ1 of the things already list
ed and have repaid the government
in steady payments during the past
five years They expect to pay all
.
they owe in fu.l this fall and start
out with - a clean slate in 1940 ' with
