Wintering Brood Cows
A problem that needs atten
tion on most Georgia cattle
farms is wintering the brood
cow. This problem could be eli
minated if the cattlemen took
adequate measures in the spring
and summer by storing hay
and other feeds for winter
feeds.
You may plan on using tem
porary fall and winter grazing,
but sometimes the weather
will not go along with you as
happened this year over most
of the state. If you are caught
short of feed you may start
feeding cheap feed or even sell
some of your herd.
Research has shown that
when beef cows are wintered
on a scanty supply of inferior
forage their calf crop will be
greatly reduced. Not only this,
but the calves surviving will
have a lower weaning weight.
There is a possibility, too, that
some of the cows will not sur
vive.
Remember this, adequate nu
trition of the wintering brood
cows would greatly raise the
calving percentage, the wean
ing weights of the calves will
increase, and the death loss will
be greatly reduced.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
| Scorpions in the State
~ Scorpions can be found in the
state, however, they seldom
sting. You probably don’t care
if they sting or not, you jus:
‘want to get rid of them.
Most of the scorpions that
‘invade the house and sting
‘when accidentally erushed or
‘contacted are relatively non
venomous, and their sting is
no more poisonous than that of
a bee or wasp.
There are about 50 species
of scorpions in this country,
but the two most dangerous
species apparently are not
found in Georgia.
If you want information on
the control of scorpions con
tact my office.
Swine Situation
The last few years have
seen many changes taking olace
in the swine industry in Geor
gia. Shifts have been made
from the lard hog to the pres
ent day effecient meat type
hog.
Another shift is that produ
cers have gone to confinemen!
feeding and improved rations
from previously allowing hogs
to roam the entire farm.
Still another important
change is that much new blood
has been brought into the state
‘to improve the breeding stock
already here.
The hogs in the state are
valued at 33 and two-thirds
million dollars or $21.50 per
head. The national average is
20 per cent higher than Geor
gia’s average so you see that
we still can make improve
ments state-wide.
Liquid Nitrogen |
For the past several vears
farmers have been using liquid
nitrogen for direct application,
and some have been concerned
about nitrogen losses. When
applying on the surface latest
information reveals that there
is no loss of nitrogen if the
liquid nitrogen contains am
monium nitrate. If the soil has
a pH of seven or above there
could be a loss, but most soils
in the state are below a pH of
seven.
If the liquid nitrogen con
tains wurea, and is applied on
the surface under moist, warm
soil conditions, some of the
applied nitrogen can be lost to
the atmosphere.
Losses of nitrogen through
volatilization can be avoided
by applying nitrogen solutions
two or three inches in the
soil.
When anhydrous ammonia is
properly applied there is little
or no loss of nitrogen. The pro
per method of application is to
place six inches in a moist soil
and properly seal.
Christmas Safety Tips
Nothing is more despondent
than to have an accident as
sociated with Christmas. Mosi
of these accidents can be pre
vented by the use of a little
common sense.
When buying electrical toys,
appliances, and lights always
look for the UL label. This
means the equipment has been
tested and ig safe. Speaking of
lights, plan to use waterproof
equipment for outdoor lights
and displays. |
Use nonflammable material’
for tree ornamentation and
never, never use lighted can—‘
dles on the tree. |
Practice care in buying,
everything, operating Christ-{
mas decorations and have 3
Christmas free of accidents.
Soil Test
Would you like to have the
guesswork taken out of lime
and fertilizer requirements?
If you will use a soil tes!
| vour guesswork will be gone
i'T’H‘c scil analvsie gives the
farmer an inventory of the
fertility level of a given farm
field.
This soil test will tell you
just what you have in the soil
such as phosphorus, potassium,
and how acid the soil is. By
providing information on these
three important elements of
the soil you have basic infor
mation needed for making lime
and fertilizer recommendations.
There are other items thai
must be considered in making
recommendations in addition (o
the basic three. In lime recom
mendations you must know
the pH of the soil, the soil
texture, the crop to be grown,
and the past liming history.
For fertilizer recommenda
tions the fertility level of the
goil must be known, the crop
to be grown, and the desired
per acre yield and crop use.
I mention these technical
items to you in order to stress
the importance of correctly
filling out the soil test infor
mation sheets. If a correct re
commendation is to be made
from your forms the forms
must be correct.
Fall Tree and Shrub Planting
The winter season is here,
and this is a good time to plant
new trees and shrubs or to
transplant material.
Stop before you make a new
planting or move that present
plant, There are some things
that you must consider before
making your first move.
Always make your gels a
plan to follow in your land
scape work. You should learn
as much as possible about trees
and shrubs that you will be
using. Don’t forget to fit the
new material in with the ex
isting landscape.
When purchasing your new
plant always buy good plants.
As for the soil you are going
to plant them in, prepare the
soil well and use organic mat
ter.
As a final reminder, don’t
forget to make provigions for
maintenance.
My office has additional in
formation if needed.
Use of Artificial Breeding
Dairy herds in the state
have made remarkable impro
vement in the past few years,
and they show signs of improv
ing more.
One of the main reasons giv
en for this improvement is the
use of artificial breeding.
Dairymen have realized that
they must breed higher pro
ducing cows and then do a
good job of feeding and man
aging them to meet the increas
ing cost of production.
Home accidents caused 4,000,-
000 disabling injuries in t h e
U. 8. in 1959, according to the
National Safety Council.

Crickets and
Grasshoppers
Make Good Bait
Crickets and xrasshoppersJ
are good bait but, at times, a
little hard to control. The per-]
sect container for them is an\
item found in almost every
house —a one-pound salt bo.\'.‘
Punch a few breathing holes,
pull out the spout and slip in
the insects. When you're ready
to fish, open up the spout and
prop out the hoppers, one at
a time, X ‘
Every angler has his own
trick for scaling fish, Some of
these methods work, some don't.
Here's one that does. In place
of the normal scaler, use a
painter’s steel wire brush. Even
when the fish are dried out,
scales come off one, two, three.
Do you know the legal way
to measure a fish to see if it
comes within legal limitations?
Place the fish on a flat surface
and measure on it — not on
the curve of the fish. The length
is from the tip of the spout
(with the mouth closed) to the
end of the largest ray of the
tail.
The cheapest kind of bait is
the kind you catch yourself.
Here's a tip that should help
you get more faster. When us
ing an umbrella net, stir up the
bottom mud until the water
floating over the net becomes
cloudy. The mud contains mi
nute life forms on which the
minnows feed. In this way you'll
double your catch per dip.
