INSTRUCTIONS IN
TOMATO STAKING
By County Agent E. C. Adams
To satisfactorily stake a plant
it is necessary to prune the
plant to a single or double
stem. The single stem method
is usually preferred. A stake
enough to support a good load
and from five to eight feet tall
should be set one to’'two feet in
the ground immediately after
the plant is set.
In pruning, all side shoots or
suckers that develop in the
axils of the leaves should be
removed as they develop so
that only main stem remains.
To fasten the plant to the
stake, first make a double
wrap of spring tightly around
the stake and then make a
single loose wrap around the
plant.
The labor of staking and
pruning tomato plants is well
rewarded by better quality
fruit. Also, insect and disease
control are much simpler.
To get maximum yield of
large tomatoes, apply a mulch
of sawdust, straw or leaves to
a depth of four to six inches
around the plants.

THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1953
EDRIfi rnltlll Kiiiie iiifev-a
fro m the County PMA Committee
Wh at growers are urged to
om n to the County Production
and Marketing Administration
office at their earliest conve¬
nience Their help is urgently
needed to bring farm-program
records up to date, in prepara¬
tion for pos. ible acreage allot¬
ments and marketing quotas on
|the 1954 wheat crop.
This appeal follows a recent
announcement by Secretary of
Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson
that the U S Department of
Agriculture would immediately
'start the preliminary work ne¬
cessary in case production and
marketing controls are re¬
quired for the next wheat crop.
According to Mr. C. L Ivey,
Chairman of the County PMA
Committee, certain informa¬
tion from farmers is abolutely
! ,-irce c sary in o-der to do a
Sound administrative job of
•setting equitable acreage allot¬
ments for individual farms.
•Farm allotments will be deter-
' County PMA
mined by the
Committee, with the assistance
,of the community committees.
Data needed includes the
• farm’s wheat acreage and pro¬
duction data for the 3 years
j 1951, 1952, and the 1953, land, the legal and
i description of
;other pertinent information. If
the farmer operates a rented
farm, he should be able to sup¬
ply such additional informa¬
tion as the name and address
of the owner.
Mr. Ivey emphasizes that
the final decision has not yet
been made as to whether acre¬
age allotments on marketing
quotas will be used for the 1954
crop of wheat That decision
will be made later, when more
I is known about the supply and
I prospective demand situations.
(However, the indicated wheat
j [controls supply is such that production
will probably be ne-
i cessary, as directed by law.
j Proclamation of a national
wheat acreage allotment is
mandatory unless dispensed
with by the Secretary because
of a national emergency or a
material increase in exports.
Proclamation of quotas is man¬
datory when supplies reach a
certain point specified in the
legislation, except under emer¬
gency conditions.
An early start on the neces-
5 ary advance work is particu¬
larly urgent, Mr. Ivey ex-
phinod. because the decision
and proclamation must be made
not later than July 1 for mark¬
eting quotas and July 15 for
acreage allotments without
quotas. If quotas are proclaim¬
ed, a national referendum
