County Agents Column
By Ed Hunt
A Successful Cotton Crop
Having a good cotton crop is
the desire and wish of every
cotton farmer in this county.
They just don't happen. Now,
you may say the weather has to
be right, and I would certainly
agree with you; however, there
are other things besides the
weather; things that you do
have control over.
Always select land capable
of producing high cotton yields,
and prepare a good seedbed for
the cotton to get a good start.
Fertilize and lime according
to recommendations, and make
sure you properly place that
fertilizer.
Seed is very important, and
you should use recommended
varieties, and by all means use
certified, treated seed.
There are just a few pointers,
and of course there are more as
the crop matures, but make
sure you give your cotton crop
a start.
Plow Vegetable Ground Early
Make sure you plow that
vegetable ground at an early
date if you want to get rid of
crop residues.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
By plowing early you will
allow ample time for the crop
residues to be completely bro
ken down before planting time.
Plowing early will reduce,
then, several soil-borne dis
eases which feed on crop resi
dues in the soil of the vegetable
garden.
This practice also results in
better nematode control when
soil fumigants are used. This
early plowing allows time for
roots to break down, exposing
the nematodes of other crops
to the soil fumigant.
Control Cotton Weeds with
Herbicides
An increasing popular prac
tice is to use herbicides for
weed control in cotton.
If these herbicides are pro
perly used, they are available
to provide season-long control
of weeds and grasses.
It is necessary that planning
for the use of cotton herbicides
be done well in advance of the
planting. This must be done so
that machinery can be properly
set up.
You may use pre-emergence,
post-emergence, or lay-by app
lication on your cotton crop.
May we suggest that you see
me to get all the details about
[ controlling weeds and grasses
in cotton by the use of herbici
des.
Fertilizing Pecan Trees
This is the time to fertilize
those pecan trees.
Anytime through March is a
good time to apply fertilizer,
and most pecan trees will need
a good application to insure
good quality nuts.
The method of fertilizing
pecan trees is to broadcast un
der and beyond the limb spread.
This usually extends about five
to six feet from the tree.
You need to apply three
pounds for each inch in trunk
diameter or for each year of
age. The analysis to use is either
6-12-12 or 5-10-15.
You should apply zinc sulfate
where rosette is present or
where lime is to be or has been
applied. This zinc sulfate is 36
percent metallic zinc. Where

Work Safely
The accidents always happen
to the other fellow.
Do they?
Why couldn’t they happen to
you sometime?
Agriculture is the third most
hazardous occupation. Some
figures to back this up are that
2,700 persons may be killed this
year doing farm work, and an
other 260,000 may be seriously
injured in farm work.
More often than not, the
major cause of farm work ac
cidents is the person involved.
He may have been hurrying,
perhaps he was tired, or maybe
he just did not understand the
job well enough and was not
aware of the hazards.
Don’t allow an accident to
happen to you, and teach your
workers so that they, too, may
be free from costly accidents on
the farm.

“WASTE NOT! WANT NOT!” would be a good motto
for Western Electric, the company that produces Bell
System communications equipment. Like the housewife
who whips up a delectable meal from yesterday’s scraps.
Western Electric salvages old or wornout equipment, re
claiming some of it and selling the rest to other businesses.
The annual scrap heap produced by the Bell System would
weigh about 400 million pounds! What does all this mean
