THE HOPKINS COUNTY ECHO, SULPHUR SPRINGS. TEXAS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1949.
i
A food stand of singletary peas
has rocontly been observed on J.
H. Rotramel farm located in the
Mt Zion conservation group. Mr.
Rotramel seeded approximately 10
acres of Singletary peas. The peas
were planted on eroded pasture
land on which an application of
around 300 pounds of phosphate
per acre had been applied.
Supervisors
Baines-Wood
of the Hopkins-
Soil Conservation
District have assisted cooperating
Ira
farmers in securing enough kud:
seed to plant from 100 to 200
acres. The supervisors still have
a few seed on hand. In order to
grow kudzu successfully from seed
there are several essential steps
that must be taken. Prepare seed
bed as for corn or cotton. Apply
at least 800 pounds-of 0-14-7 2
or 3 weeks ahead of planting. Bed
on the fertilizer and then run a
weighted drag or sled over the
row to pack and level the bed.
This will leave a broad, flat, firm
seed bed. Kudzu plants must be
kept free of grass and weeds un-
til they are ready to make runners
if they are to make maximum
growth. Crab grass is especially
hard on young seedlings. As soon
as grass and weeds are cleaned
out of the young plants, side dress
with 300 pounds of 5-10-6, plac-
ing the fertilizer about one foot
from the row. The best planting
date is from April 15 to May 15.
