Winter Legumes
Oram Mixture Makes
Good Winter Grazing
For supplying a winter graz¬
ing crop on Dade county farms,
County Agent Baker this week
recommended a mixture of
small grains and winter leg¬
umes.
He pointed out the natuial
advantage of this area over
other sections of the country
in the length of its grazing
scason> At the same time, he
stressed the importance of a
year-round pasture in the
economical feeding of farm
animals.
With a little planning, the
< ol,,1 ly agent said, the usually
1>are » ,eriod from 1(1
»»>*l-springcaii be filled in on
i.mst Dade county farms by
pianling a thick seeding of a
| small grain-winter legume
mixture. For best results, this
should be planted on a \ ell
prepared area of good land, In-
advised.
“It is best to select fertile
land for this seeding,” Mr.
Baker said. “If the land is
poor, a good application of
manuri or a heavy application
of good cotton fertilizer should
^ >fc applied at the time of seed-
ing. A thick seeding of small
grains and winter legumes
should then be sown.
“For Dade county, a mixture
and rate of seeding per acre
that has given good results is
as follows: 3 to 4 bushels of
! oats, ’ 3-4 to 1 bushel of rve, 10
15 pounds , of „ vetch, ... 8 to *" 10
to
poundsof cri mson clover.”
The county agent said a well
established pasture willl pro¬
vide grazing for 2 or 3 animals
per acre. Many tons of hay can
he saved if farmers will plant
these grazing acres, he added.
The day will he taken up in
preaching, songs and talks by
various ones.

Of Dade Co.
To the People of Dade County:
It being obviously impossible
for me to see or communicate
with all the people in your
county personally, I take this
method of expressing to you
my deep gratitude for the
splendid majority you gave me
in my recent elfort lobe elect¬
ed Attorney General. It being
my first satewide venture, I
feel that the fact that l ear
ried an equal number of coun¬
ties as I. c incumbent was in ¬
deed a high personal compli¬
ment, and to those of you who
joined in this expression of
confidence, I am conscious of
a deep sense of appreciation,
which 1 yet hope to have an
opportunity to compensate in
efficient service.
Sincerely yours,
JOHN S. \N OOD.
Destroy Old Cotton
Stalks to Prevent
Weevil Infestation
County Agent Baker today
warned Dade county farmers
that they may expect continu-
ed boll weevil infestation next
year, unless they destroy old
cotton stalks as soon as the
picking is completed.
Pointing out that the crop
was harvested this year earlier
than usual, he said this affords
an opportunity for farmers in
most sections to destroy cot-
ton stalks several weeks before
frost. If farmers generally will
destroy t heir stalks as soon as
the cotton is picked, he as¬
serted, the weevil population
next spring should be greatly
reduced.
Mr. Baker explained that if
the hull weevil goes into wint¬
er quarters hungry, it can not
survive the winter. Since most
areas suffered severe weevil
damage this year, infestation
of the 1939 crop will he de¬
termined largely by thenumb-
er of boll weevils which are
able to live through the winter
and emerge in the spring.
In many sections, rain has
been sufficient to enable farm
ers to turn under their stalks,
while in others it has been in¬
sufficient. In the latter case,
farmers will profit by cutting
their stalks with a stalk-cutter
and then complete the job of
turning under when the
ground is soft enough.
The county agent reminded
that rains in July and August
caused an extensive growth of
weed, which will make thejob
uf turning under more diffi-
cult for farmers who have only
small plows. He declared, how
ever, that the destruction of
cot ton stalks will pay divi¬
dends in the long run, no
matter how much trouble it
may be.
County Agent H. G. Baker
is gradually recovering from a
oadly infected finger.
