Farm Agent’s Column
By L. R. Langley. County A tent
A repction of the screw worm dis
aster of 1934 is inevitable. There is
every reason to believe that Bald
win County farmers face knottier
screw worm outbreak, perhaps more
wire-spread than in 1934.
Among the main causes of screw
worm attacks are breeding animals
so that the young are born in the
fly season, and cast-ating, dehorn
ing. docking, or marketing at a time
when the wounds are sure to be
visited by the screw worm fly. By
regularing breeding so that the young
animals will have time to recover
from injuries before flies become
abundant, many losses can be pp-e-
vented.
Building new pens and sutes that
will be needed later for handling
and treating infested animals wil’
greatly facilitate control operatic
If the construction of hospital pens
Is put off. the stock men will be
caught without proper means of
doctoring animals with infcrtcd
wounds. This will mean an unneces
sary loss of stock.
Last year's screw'worm outbreak
brought heavy mortality to young
pigs. Good farrowing pens, in which
sows and their litters may be kept
under close observation until all
danger of infestation is passed, there
fore. are essential, this year, particul
arly for the protection of litters
farrowed in the summer. Farmers
should by all means bum or bury
deep all dead animals. Onlv last
week T noticed in two different
communities of the County, dead
animals that had been carried off and
left on top of the ground. This is a
very dangerous habit at any time, but
more especially so now on account
of the screw worm infestation. One
carcass disposed of in this manner
may become a breeding place for
millinos of screk worm flies.
Redaction in Fertilizer Rates Will
Benefit Georgia Fanners
Washington. D. C.. March 19. As
a result of publication by fertilizer
manufacturers, under the fertilizer
industry Code, of new prices to be
come effective Wednesday. March
20. Georgia farmers will save ap
proximately $300,000 a year. Issu
ance of new price schedules by ferti
lizers producers was incident to an
order of the Georgia Public Service
Commission reducing by approxi
mately 20 1 per cent intrastate freight
rates on fertilizers and fertilizer ma
terials between points within the
State of Georgia. To give farmers
immediate benefit of the reduction,
the fertilizer Code Authority has au
thorized manufacturers in the State
of Georgia to issue lists of new
prices to become effective on March
20. 1935. the effective date of the
Commission’s order, although ordi
narily. under the Code provisions,
such change in prices can be made
effective only after a period of 10
days from the filing of the lists
Washington.
Although the reduced rates apply
in fact only to rail shipments, the
new prices apply to all sales. TTiey
will give farmers a reduction on
the entire intrastate tonnage of ferti
lizer whether shipped by rail, truck,
or boat, or hauled by the farmer
in his own wagon. As about 30 per
cent of Georgia fertilizer tonnage
is hauled by truck alone, the saving
to farmers through the new prices
will be much greater than the loss
in revenue to the carriers through
the reduced rates. As practically all
fertilizer prices are now quoted on
a cons umer-delivered-to-th e-farm-
basis, the action authorized by the.
Code Authority makes it possible for ■
the manufacturer actually and speed- 1
ily to pass on to the consumer eco- !
nornies in transportation costs.
Athens. Ga —April 1 has been
designated as the closing date for
the acceptance of application for
corn-hog contracts in Ceorgia Har
ry L. Brown announced today. Coun
ts- agents have been assisting farm
ers in the filing of data in support
of their application for benefit pay
ments f->r adjustment of their corn
and hog production for several
mnths. and to continue after the
osing date which has been set
would seriously delay the adminis-
ration of the program, it was stated.
Approximately 2.000 Georgia
‘armors have made appplication for
contracts to date. Mr. Brown said.
Grow Healthy Sweet Potato Plants
Th*s Tear
To get the best returns from
;weet potatoes this year growers
vill need to grow healthy plants
and keep their fields free from di-
•ase. To grow healthy plants it
ill be necessary to start with slip:
that are sound. They should not be
infested with such diseases as stem
rot. black rot, root rot, scurf r-
other destructive troubles thr*
originate in the seed bed.
Healthy slips can be obtained by
carefully observing a few com
paratively simple precautions. In the
first place, the seed potatoes that
o be used for bedding should be
carefully examined for decay.
ounds. and blemishes, and that
show such injuries should be thrown
It should be kept in mind that
» of these diseases may be
harbored in very small spots in the
potato, so a thorough examin; "
for these is necessary.
The next step is to disinfect the
seed potatoes to kill any germs that
may be on the surface. This is done
by immersing tht* potatoes for eight
minutes in a solution of corrosive
sublimate chloride, made in propor
tions of 4 ounces to 32 gallons of
water. For ordinary quantities of
potatoes this can be done convenient
ly in a wodden barrel. The potatoes
are placed in a bushel basket
crate that will ship into the barrel
and immersed for 8 minutes in the
solution. For large quantities of po
tatoes several barrels can be use'
! or a large wooden tank or galv;
! nized iron tank coated with asphalt
i paint on the inside can be used
t Therefore the rotation should be
arranged to keep sweet potatoes off
the land for at least three years.
Corrosive sublimate corrodes me
tals. so the wooden or asphalt-coated
container is best.
This chemical solution weakest
on repeated use, so its strength
should be maintained by adding 2-5
to 1-2 ounce of mercuric chloride
after dipping each 10 bushels, then
bringing the solution to its original
volume of 32 gallons by adding\va-
ter. After treating 50 bushels the
solution is so dirty and so weakened
that it should be thrown away and
a new one made up.
The third impoitant step in getting
healttfy slips is sanitation of seed
bed. If manure is used it should be
free from any sweet potato re'
which may introduce disease-produc
ing organisms. The sand or soil for
the bed should be new each year,
and obtained from woods or sand
pit away from former potato fields.
Remove all rubbish about the bed
and disinfect the frame work by
prinkling with some of the corro-
ive sublimate solution that is used
for dipping the seed. The seed should
be spaced in the bed about 3-4 to i
inch apart and covered with clean
sand.
By following these three^ precau
tions. namely, selection and disin
fection of the seed potatoes, and
sanitary conditions about the bed.
healthy plants will be obtained. Of
course healthy plants should be put
fields that also are free from dis
ease-producing fungi because infec
tion can take place there. It is not
known just how long these germs
,n remain in the soil in the ab-
tice of sweet potatoes, but doubt-
s.s for several years.
Farmers Should Measure Cotton

every producer measures his land
accurately before preparing it for
planting, and thus maksure that
