Cotton Acreage
In recent years there has
been a decline in cotton acre
age allotments in Georgia. One
reason for this is that cotton
farmers in the state are not
planting all of their acreage al
lotments.
Farmers can slow down this
loss of cotton acreage by re
leasing the cotton acreage they
do not intend to plant to their
County A. S. C. Committee.
When this is done, the com
mittee can reapportion releas
ed cotton acreage to other
farms.
The law provides that the
state’s farm cotton acreage his
tory can be protected in one
of two ways—by planting at
least 75 percent of the farm’s
allotment or release the allot
ment to the County A.S.C.
Committee. To maintain cotton
history on the farm, some cot
ton must be planted during one
out of every three years.
If you have some cotton acre
age that can be released to the
County A.S.C. Committee, it
must be done bv March 21.
That is the deadline date. If
you’re not sure what your cot
ton history status is, you might
wish to check at your Coun
ty A.S.C. Office.

Weaning Pigs
Which is best—weaning pigs
at 3 weeks of age or at 8
weeks? In recent studies at one
of Georgia’s Experiment Sta
tions pigs weaned at 3 weeks
of age gained at a significantly
faster rate during all seasons
than pigs weaned at 8 weeks.
A total of 397 pigs were
used in the tests. The pigs
were either weaned and con
fined to a pig nursery or plac
ed on an alfalfa pasture with
their dams when they were 3
weeks of age. The nigs weaned
at 3 weeks had a daily gain of
.81 lbs., compared to .65 lb.
for those weaned at 8 weeks.
Mortality among pigs weaned
at 3 weeks also was slightly
less than among those weaned
at 8 weeks.
Shade Trees
During summer months we
all appreciate resting in the
cool shade of a large tree. Per
haps you have considered
planting a shade tree in your
yard this spring. There are
many species of trees native to
the state that can be grown as
building with four bedrooms
and four baths.
Ten miles south of Albany
is Wildfair Plantation, home of
Mr. and Mrs. John Grant, Jr.
of Albany and Atlanta. The ap
proach to the white Colonial
house is thru pine forests, past
stables and kennels.
Also in the Newton Road is
the recently completed Com
munity Center, built by dona
tions and named for the late
William C. Potter former own
er of Blue Springs and execu
tive of the Guaranty Trust Co.
of New York.

shade trees. However, some of |
the more popular shade trees i
are willow oak. water oak, pin
oak, pecan, red maple, silver I
maple, and Florida maple.
The willow oak is a rather ।
large, long-lived, and fast ,
growing deciduous tree that de- :
velops a fairly short trunk in
an open area. It has a dense I
oval or round topped crown.
Growth is best in moist soils,
but it also thrives satisfactori
ly in rather dry situations.
Water oak grows fast in ear
ly life and provides quick
shade. It is tall and rather
slender, with a round-topped,
fairly symmetrical crown of
ascending branches. It is more
subject to mistletoe and storm
damage than willow oak.
Pin oak grows at a moder
ate rate and is hardy and long
lived. It has a rounded, pyra
midal top when young but
tends to become irregular at
maturity. Leaves turn attrac
tive scarlet in the late fall.
Dead leaves persist into the
winter.
Red maple grows rapidly, is
relatively short-lived, and
thrives satisfactorily on vari
ous sites. It has brilliant scar
let to orange autumn coloring.
Growth of silver maple and
Florida maple is similar to that
of red maple.
A pecan tree may be plant
ed where nut production is
wanted along with the benefit
of shade. It is fairly exacting
in requirements and may de
mand a little more care than
some other shade trees.
Os course, once you decide
what tree you want for shade,
you’ll have to plant it. This
job is an important one. Often
it has been said that if a per
son has $lO to spend on a tree,
he should spend $2 for the tree
and $8 to prepare the planting
hole.
The hole should be dug deep
and wide enough to accommo
date the full root system of the
tree. In poorer soils the hole
should be larger and deeper.
If you are in doub* about the
size, just make ;■ larger and
deeper.
Remember to separate the
top soil from the subsoil. The
subsoil should either be dis
carded and replaced with top
soil or it should be improved
by mixing liberal quantities of
well-rotted manure or peat
moss with it.
The tree should be planted
to about the same depth that
it was originally. Some peo
ple have found that if a tree
is set a bit higher in its new
location than in its former one.
the chances of continued good
growth are increased.
When trees are planted bare
root, add the soil gradually
and work the soil thoroughly
around all roots. You should
be sure to eliminate all air
pockets. Some water may be
added to help eliminate air
pockets.
In caring for your shade you
may want to know about such
things tree supports, fertiliza
tion, tree injuries, and diseases.
Get in touch with me for more
complete details about shade
trees.

Cora Time
For most parts of the state,'
It is time to plant corn, or soon
will be. To make good profits
from corn, you must have high
yields. In the last two years the
average yield of corn in the
state has been about 30 bush
els per acre. These yields are
a great improvement over what
the state’s yields used to be, j
but we can still do better.
Many farmers in the state ]
have obtained corn yields of i
over 100 bushels per acre. But
to do this, they have had to
use the recommended hybrids
and improved cultural prac
tices, particularly proper fer
tilization.
Now that eorn planting time
is here, a review of some of
the recommended corn grow
ing practices seems in order.
Loamv soils that are fertile
and well-drained usually pro
duce profitable corn yields.
Bottom lands and productive
uplands which meet these con
ditions are well adapted to
corn. Poor droughty or wet
land should be improved be
fore planting to eorn.
The land for corn should be
broken to a depth of not less
than 6 inches, depending upon
depth of the topsoil. Plant only
the recommended hvbrids that
have been tested and proved by
Experiment Stations and on
farms.
To determine proper ferti
lization and lime requirements,
a soil test should be made if
possible.
General fertilizer recom
mendations are 500 pounds of
4-12-12 at planting and 80
pounds of nitrogen per acre as
side dressing when corn is knee
high. Use 5-10-15 on low pot
ash toils.
In South Georgia, use in 36
to 42-inch rows and plant 15
to 17 inches in the row so that
you have about 10 thousand
plants per acre. In North Geor
gia, use 38 to 42-inch rows but
plant 12 to 14 Inches in the
News From
High Point
By MRS. OBIE PARKER
Mrs. Emmett McCart and Mrs.
Dewey Steele spent Friday after
noon in Porterdale with Mr. and
Mrs. Harmon Strawn. Friends of
Mr. Strawn are sorry to learn of
his illness and wish for him a
speedy recovery.
Mrs. Jessie Ivey and Mrs.
Frances Cason were the Sunday
row so that you'll have about
12 thousand plants per acre.
Extension records show that
high yields of corn reduce cost
of production. If you grow 80
to 100 bushels of corn per acre,
total production costs should
not be over 60 to 70 cents per
bushel.

growing corn, contact me at
my office by phone or a visit.
