THE CHEROKEEAN OF RUSK. TEXAS. THURSDAY. JANUARY 1ft. 196ft
FARMMG TODAY
With
JOHNNY McKAY
County Agent
Continued cold ralney wea-
ther In Cherokee County has
really been a blessing as far
as the moisture is concerned.
But there was some damage
to pine timber and the cattle
are beginning to show the ef-
fects of 3 weeks of this dis-
agreeable weather.
Probably the most damage
to pine timber was done to
plantations around 3 to4 years
of age. The ice bent a lot of
these small trees to the ex-
tent it may take awhile for
for them tcv straighten up.
Larger timber had a few
tops broken out and some
large limbs broken off.
Some cattle are looking
pretty thin and frawn under
poor grazing conditions, and
possible low maintenance
feeding coupled with the cold
rain causing rapid withdrawal
of body heat. Cattle receiv-
ing plenty of hay and supple-
ment as needed seem to be
making it pretty good.
The East and Northeast
section of Cherokee County
that was in an extreme drought
until three weeks ago, now
has plenty of top moisture.
Stock ponds are full, creeks
are running, and ranchers
have to watch where they
drive in pastures to keep from
getting stuck. Barron Flor-
ence of Henry's Chapel -ays
they have probably had 6 or
7 inches of rain in the last
three weeks. This rain is a
real boost for that area.
You know? I hope John
McHaney, our Extension Eco-
nomist misse- his prediction
for next year; but I'm affraid
he may not. He says the up-
trend In farm expenditures
will continue In 1968 and may
accelerate somewhat. He
thinks prices paid by farm-
ers for mo t items used in
production will continue to
rise in 1968, with the excep-
tion of feed prices, and that
wage rates will continue to
increase.
Mr. McHaney says that all
in all farmer's incomes will
not keep pace with expected
galn^ in the rest of the eco-
nomy.
This is not a new story,
but it means that you a.* a
farmer will have to use all
msans available to increase
your efficiency to offset this
inbalance.
The Cherokee County Live-
stock men's Association will
hold its first regular meet-
ing of 1968 Tuesday, January
23, at 7;30 p.m. in the Ex-
tension Room of the Court-
house in Rusk. Farm In-
come Tax Problems will be
discussed by Mr. Wayne
Taylor, Extension Area Farm
Management Specialist, and
a representative of the In-
ternal Revenue Service. Spe-
cial emphasis will be given
to beef cattle operations. E-
veryone Interested is cord-
ially invited to attend the
meeting.
Tax reporting time for
some farmers Is just around
the corner.
Farm and ranch operators
who have not filed a declara-
tion of estimated tax during
1967 must either file an es-
timate of Jan. 15 or file a fi-
nal report by Feb. IS.
Farm taxpayers electing to
file a declaration of estimated
tax by January 15, will have
until Arpll 15 to file a final
report. Taxpayers whose in-
come is subject to tax with-
holdings or who filed a de-
claration of estimated tax
during the 1967 tax year also
have until April 15 to file their
final repon.
Farmers Income Tax
Guides are available from
my office or local banks in
Cherokee County.
Recent lee storms have
broken and splintered shade
trees as a result or the heavy
coating of lee in Cherokee
County. This was true of
many of the evergreen types.
An extremely heavy coating
of lee on the dense foliage
broke many of the larger
branches.
Prompt attention and pro-
per treatment of the damaged
trees will aid materially in
preventing permanent disfig-
urement and possible pre-
mature death. While the tree
wounds are still fresh, much
of the repair work can be done
with a sharp pruning saw and
an asphalt tree wound paint.
The damaged branches
should be removed flush with
the trunk or nearest large
branch. Stubs will only lead
to a proliferation oí sucker
growth later on, always out
back to a -ide branch.
To prevent tearing uie u«u*
and causing additional damage
to the tree in removing heavy
limbs, make the first cut with
the saw from the bottom side
of the limb about 12 inches
from the main branch. When
the saw starts to bind make
the second cut from above
about eight Inches from the
main branch. After the branch
splits off remove the re-
maining stub with a saw cut
flush with and parallel to the
main branch. Lastly, apply
a tree wound dressing to the
exposed surface to prevent
the entrance of disease and
insects.
A copy of B-977, "Modem
Pruning Methods," available
from my office, will provide
detailed Information on doing
the pruning job.
