Agent Discusses
Defoliate or Not
..... -TOUT
Should you defoliate your cot
ton this year?
Let’s examine some of the facts
of the matter to determine if you
should.
Defoliation will most likely be
profitable for you when you are
harvesting by machine; when the
plants are tall, leafy and succu
lent; when the fruit set is heavy;
and when the plants are mature
and “cut out”.
Defoliation may not pay for you
when the plants are small and
have few leaves; when the natural
leaf drop is high or leaves are
tough and leathery; when the boll
set is light or plants are immature.
Examine all the facts for your
self, and if you need more infor
mation on defoliation of cotton,
contact me.
MARKETING QUALITY CORN
If you are going to sell your
corn or part of it this year, you
want to get all the money you can
for it. One way to make sure that
you get a good price is to sell the
corn in a good condition. By good
condition, 1 mean a condition that
can be readily used by the buyer
so that he can get his money’s
worth from the corn.
The moisture content of the
corn is one of the major points to
consider when you are determin
ing the grade of the corn. A prob
lem arises here in that the me
chanical picker-shellers are design
ed to operate at a moisture con
tent level that is higher than the
level that is best for storage. To
meet the requiremnts you may
have to dry the corn.
In addition to the moisture con
tent you need to also pay attention
to the test weight per bushel, the
percentage of damaged kernels,
and the amount of broken corn
and foreign material in the corn.
Make sure you market quality
corn this year by paying attention
to details of harvesting
RYE GROWERS WARNED
ABOUT ANTHRACNOSE
If you plan to grow rye for seed
please take special precautions
against anthracnose.
Dr. D. D. Morey of the Georgia
Coastal Plain Experiment Station
at Tifton reports that anthracnose
has been damaging rye in South
Georgia and Florida for the past
three years.
Anthracnose attacks rye plants
as they approach maturity. The
most striking symptom is the
white empty heads. The disease
also rots the base of rye plants at
soil-level so that a gentle pull will
break them off.
The most important precaution
against anthracnose is land rota
tion. Plant rye on land which has
not had a crop of rye for one,
preferably two, years previously.
A good job of land preparation
will also help cnotrol anthracnose
and other plant diseases which live
on crop residue.
Plant certified seed which have
been properly treated to control
seed-borne diseases.
Among recommended rye varie
ties, Wrens Abruzzi and Explorer
are damaged least by anthracnose.
Florida Black has been severely
damaged by anthracnose, and Ga
tor, because of its susceptibility,
would be the last choice for seed
production.
The first and most important
factor in the efficient use of for
age and feed is to feed it to good
cows, point out Extension animal
husbandmen at the University of
Georgia.

This week we shall do another
rice casserole, this time with
chicken livers. I adapted it from
one I saw in Gourmet and used
Sherry in the place of Marsala.
Next time I shall add a pinch of
oregano to see what happens.
I also had a request last week
for “Frosted Grapes”, so here is
the “how-do”.
Chicken Liver and Rice
Casserole
Melt Vi cup butter (or oleo) in
skillet or flameproof casserole. (I
use an iron skillet). Chop one me
dium onion and brown lightly. Add
1 cup chicken livers, cook for a
minute or so and add 1 small can
chopped mushrooms (or fresh
ones if you are lucky enough to
have them). Add a dash of Tabasco
sauce (or red pepper) and salt
and pepper to taste. Stir in 2 cups
rice. Cook mixture, stirring con
stantly until rice takes on golden
color. Add Vi cup Sherry and 4
cups boiling chicken stock. Cover
skillet or casserole and cook rice
