Kudzu Saves Soil
And Provides Feed
Increasing Use Seen
On American Farms
Erosion gullies, once the bugaboo
of farming, are succumbing rapidly
to a versatile leguminous vine j
known as kudzu.
In addition to growing vigorously,
with proper management, under '
many unfavorable soil and moisture
conditions, kudzu has the advantage
Kudzu crowns or roots will pro
duce luxuriant and nutritious for
age for hogs and other livestock.
of permanency. The crowns, or root
system, will remain over a long pe- j
riod of years without replanting, if j
the vines are not overgrazed.
When harvested for hay it has a
feeding value as high as that of al- j
falfa, and also provides a nutritious |
forage for livestock grazing. It is
especially recommended for ravines i
or other sites that are too badly ;
gullied to be used for cultivated
crops. It is equally important on
more level acreage where it can be
cut for hay as well as acting to con
serve the soil.
From Dadeville, Ala., comes the 1
report of an increase of 25 bushels '
per acre for corn that followed the
plowing under of kudzu, or 40 bush- |
els an acre, tylost corn yields in that |
section averaged below 15 bushels, i

To make this “gate” dig a hole
approximately 8 feet wide, 6 feet
across, reinforce all sides at top
with 4 inch square concrete slabs,
embedding ends of six 5-inch chan

Controlling Blackleg
Disease in Potatoes
Crop rotation and seed treatment
l are the two most important control
| measures for black-
I leg in potatoes, ac- yjmfc

| University of Mis- MMK 1
Blackleg is an old
I potato disease caused by a bacteria
■ that thrives in cool damp weather.
If dipped in a good seed disin
fectant, there will be little infection
when the seed is planted on clean
land.
Save Bees From an
Insecticide Death
While the dusting and spraying of
- farm crops must be regulated upon
approved practices for each individ
| ual crop, in general the use of DDT
and other insecticides should be em
ployed before blossoms appear. In
general, by following this practice,
it is possible to reduce the loss
among bees to such a point that it is
of no economic importance. Do not
spray or use insecticides except
upon a given method of procedure.
Farmers Advised
To Reduce Debts
Many Georgia farmers are now
in position to reduce the risks
with which they will inevitably
ibe faced in the years ahead by
, reducing their debts and by in
vesting in sound financial re

| Bonds, director Walter S. Brown
of the State Extension Service
(declared this week, “This policy
jis the best insurance against a
repetition of the tragedies which
followed World Warl.”
Farmers throughout the State
! who are now marketing crops and
, livestock should build financial
reserves while they are able, Di
rector Brown said. The present
high level of farm prices gives
farmers one of the best opportu
nities in years to make them
selves financially secure for the
uncertain years ahead,
“Georgia farmers did a mag
nificent job during the war by
producing food and fiber, reduc
ing debts, helping to finance the
, war and building financial re-

tension Service director asserted,
“but 1946 is the most critical
year since 1919 for the farm

Hold Onto Savings
“If farmers dissipate t he i r
l wartime earnings by speculating
in high-priced farm land or mak
ing investments in enterprises!
I outside the farm field in which
they have no specialized knowl- |

I worse off in a few years than I

declared. “Debts should be kept

Keep Up Reserves
The Extension director urged
Georgia farm families to safe
guard their wartime gains by
building and maintaining ade-|
quate financial reserves to in-1
sure themselves against unfore
seen disasters such as floods, 1
drouths, sickness, accidents or
reduced income due to lower
farm prices.
“Building and keeping up fi
nancial reserves will help insure
education for children, the main
tenance of the farm family’s liv
ing standard and help provide
funds for retirement and old age
security,” he said. “One of the
soundest and safest investments
available is U.B.Savings Bonds.’,
Productive Rains
Each inch of July rainfall in the
corn belt is worth millions of ’
dollars, increasing the crop by
eight bushels an acre. In the wheat
slates, May-June rains have much
the same effect.
