EARLY PLANTING
Pilkington this year, because of
better soil aeration and drainage,
was able to get into his fields and
plant cotton nearly three weeks
ago when other cotton farmers
couldn’t get equipment into fields.
Visitors to the foundation's field
day this week also saw an ab-
sence of weeds in his fields. They
didn’t have a chance under the
grain cover of last year.
Here’s how Pilkington handles
the grain • cotton rotation:
He applies 100 pounds of 13-39-0
fertilizer when he plants his grain
in the fall. In February or March,
he topdresses with 200 pounds of
ammonium sulphate or ISO pounds
of ammonium nitrate.

year by a long > time registered
Hereford breeder here.-----------
County Agent Al Petty thia week
assisted Owner James Degan and
farm worker Howard Stockard
"test’’ calves from each of the 35
brood cqws on the Degan farm
southwest of Lewisville.
Another 30 head of registered
and crossbred calves on a Degan
farm east of Sanger are to be
"tested" by scales this week.
FIRST IN COUNTY
Degan last year became the first
Denton County producer to fol-
low a system of weighing and
grading each cal/ produced by his
brood cows. The system "proves”
a cow's production by accurately
pinpointing rates of gain made by
the calf during its first six months.
Slow - gaining, poor quality calves
offer a basis for culling dams of
those profit - cutting calves.
‘ Efficiency and rate of growth
of a calf is important in the early
months because it gives good indi-
cation of what that calf will do in
the feedlot, or how much of its
efficiency can be passed on to its
offspring if it’s kept for breeding,"
Degan said.
“Heavy weights alone won’t do
the job,"" Degan cautioned, Last
year, the heaviest calf — by age
comparison — proved to be the
sorriest in quality. A lighter. but
better quality calf may have made
more money in the long run.
"That means the owner has to
blend weights with grade of the
calves," he added, “if he wants to
raise a crop of good uniform
calves."
SECOND CHANCE
Thus far, Degan said possibly
two cows will be culled from the
herd this year after the weighing-
grading program. One is a first-
calf heifer and may be kept an-
other year. The heifer is raising
a good calf this year, but its weight
may be down in comparison to
other calves of the same age.
Degan is weight - testing every
calf on his farms, including cross-
breeds, which are showing best
adjusted six - months age weights
—typical of cross breeding. Even
commercial type Hereford dams
are being watched by the scaling
system.
Each calf is weighed the same
day. regardless of age. Its weight
is adjusted to six-months or wean-
ing age figures by a special chart
Pilkington puts cotton on the
land the following spring, and
does not add any more fertilizer.
He has raised his cotton yield
averaged on the Renner farm from
one - fourth to one • third bale an
acre up to doe - half to three-
fourths bale per acre.
Two years ago, he harvested two
thirds bale. Last year, however,
due to a premature freeze, the
yield was only half a bale.

RENNER (Staff) - Small grain
stubble is worth at least 100
pounds lint cotton a year when
cotton follows grains in a cropping
system — if it's plowed back into
the soil.
> C. L. (Pete) Pilkington, operator
of the tenant farm at Texas Re-
search Foundation here, has found
that cotton following small grain
has produced one - fourth to one-
half bale more per acre when the
stubble was turned under.
"Where I turned the stubble un-
der, the soil plows like an ash
bed," Pilkington said "it used
to be as tough as rubber."
Dr. C. L. Lundell, foundation di-
rector, said the system adds or-
ganic matter to the soil, the soil’s
physical structure is being im-
proved, and he’s improving the
water holding capacity of his
soil. $
PERFORMANCE TESTING: Calves of these cows of the James Degan Hereford
ranch at Lewisville are “tested"—proved by scales in a performance testing pro-
4 gram now in its second year. At scales in background weighing an offspring of one
of the cows are County Agent Al Petty and Herdsman Howard Stockard.
