«’ ntinued from last week)
I Y-
Be •
fri
to
at- .
th<
'• iarm ponds are Just built nod
' vision U’ made to keep them
- Siting up. It is an easy matter
< vent silting by maintaining a
< f grass 200 ft. wide all aronnd
•nd. The grass wiil strain out
m<- of the silt carried by the stream
of v ter coming Into the pond. A for-
th r protection against silting Is to
fen e the pond to keep livestock
away from the edges of the water
ar t away from the fill itself. There
is another very important item to
consider in fencing off the pond. Ar-
co- 'ing to a statement by Dr. K. 8.
H. noon of Oklahoma A. and M. Col-
fet e, edges of ponds become conaen-
trot on areas for the eggs of stomach
wo< ms which may affect cattle, sheep
an«' horses. Hog cholera, a dliaise in
•which the virus Is eliminated in the
body discharges, would be spread to
other hogs If the virus got into their
drinking water. For the above men-
tioned reasons, it is very advisable
that the farm pond be fenced and
sU>"k water be provided in a water-
ing trough below the dam. The pipe
carrying the water to the trough
ab -Id be not leas than llfc inches to
at! for easy cleaning and should be
«q: : ped with a float valve at the
to keep the water at a constant
and yet not waste water.
>*rotertiug the fill from erosion,
isn’t enough that the dam be
properly, and the spillway cor-
'y designed, and then stop. It
Plant A Feed Crop This Year!
n
1
The above picture looks and is one
which you would expect to see during
harvest time. However, It is a re-
minder |o plant more feed crops this
year, and in that way depend less
upon feed being hauled into Panola
County Many farmers have grain sor-
ghums included as part of their War
Crop Goals. Let’s plant them, and in
doing ao, fertilise them. Today there
are more chickens, hogs, and cattle,
to say nothing about work stock, in
East Texas than ever before. The
more feed we raise, not only the less
dependent will we be upon other
parts of the country to supply nnr
wants, but the more dollars we w!!l
have in our pockets. Little need be
mentioned about the price of feed at
tl«e present time. Next winter ma>
st em to be a long way off right nu*.
out NOW Is the time to think ahum
what our cattle Is going to eat.
Plant Peanuts For Victory—
Follow With A Winter Cover Crop
FERTILIZE YOUR PEANUTS
Peanuts for victory should be the
slogan of every farmer in Panola
County. And following that should
come—“A Winter Cover Crop on
every acre of peanuta pulled for oil.”
Moat every farmer knows that the
support price for number one Span-
ish type peanuts has been raised to
$140 per ton. AND. most every farm-
er also knows that in order to get s
good crop of peanuts, he must have
something in the ground for the pea-
nuts to grow on. What does this
mean? It means USE SOME FER-
TILIZER. If you can’t get a balanced
fertiliser, then use Acid Ph os pate, at
least. It Is more than worth the extra
coat
We have talked with several farm-
ers about peanut plantings, and one
in particular told us that last year he
had two plots tide by side, on tbe
same type of soil. One he fertilised,
and these peanuts were pulled for oil.
the other plot be didn't fertilise, and
he hogged them. From each plot he
pulled peanut plants, and the fertilis-
ed peanuts he knew he made 20 bush-
els to tbe acre, because they were
longer, thicker, and heavier. Don't
forget that one of the valuable by-
products of peanut production la the
hay from the threshing. So, not only
will fertilising give yon more pea-
nuts per acre, but it will also give
you MORE HAT.
FOLLOW YOUR PEANUTS
WITH A COVER CROP
Peanuta pulled for oil deplete the
soil more than any other crop grown,
for nothing Is left to rebuild the soil.
For that reason EVERT ACRE OF
PEANUTS FOR OIL SHOULD BE
FOLLOWED BT A WINTER COVER
CROP. The Cover Crop Seed are
NOW AVAILABLE at the AAA of-
fice. so GET TOURS NOW. DON’t
WAIT UNTIL NEXT FALL—BE
SURE NOW.
iNo one knows how long the farm-
ers will be called upon to plant pea-
nuts for oil. and the ONLT WAT WE
.CAN MAINTAIN PRODUCTION is
thru the Conservation Practice of
planting a winter cover crop to re-
build the soil. By putting acid phos-
phate under a winter legume cover
crop to rebuild the soil. By putting
acid phosphate under a winter le-
threshed. The unfertilised he figured < gum*- cover crop, peanuts usually
he made only 10 bushels to the acre
To quote him. he stated that the
fertilised peanuts not only had more
and better nuts, but the foliage was
need not be fertilised the following

Cover Crop Seed NOW!

Report Of Acreage
Necessary Before
Completing Planting
Farmers are being notified to call
a! the County A.A.A. office or meet
their committeeman in the commun-
ity and advise the plots to be plant-
ed In crops that effect payment lu
order that the acreage in each plot
may be determined before crops are
planted. This will in many cases
eleminate the overplanting of allot-
ment crops. It was announced today
by T. L. Vincent, local AAA admin-
istrator.
It la very important that farm oper-
ators comply with these requests
since fewer vt«*u to the field will be
n ,ide this year. It Is .ikely that pen-
alty marketing cards will <h- issued
on farmB that do not furnish this
information to the County office be-
fore planting time.
Vincent further stated that produc-
ers should ifait until notified before
calling at the County office since
every effort is being made to visit
each community for this purpose
which will save farmers the expense
of driving to the County office.
Cotton Planting Notes
Panola county cotton farmers may
exceed their allotments by 10 percent
this year without loss of AAA pay-
ments. T. L. Vincent, secretary of
the AAA announced again this week.
He also explained that farmers who
plant np to 110 percent of their allot-
ments would not be liable for cotton
marketing quota penalties nor would
they forfeit cotton loan privileges.
Payment of 1.1 cents per pound on
the average yield will be paid only
on the individual cotton allotments
and w4U not be made on any acermge
in excess of official allotments, which
already have been sent to county cot-
ton farmers.
Loan privileges, howefor, will cov-
er the entire production, provided
the planted acres are not more thnu
110 percent of the allotment.
At the same time Mr. Vincent an-
nounced the 10 percent increase la
planted acres this year, he said that
Federal Crop Insurance also would In-
clude all the cotton planted within
110 percent of the 1943 allotments.
Dnring 1942. protection was limited
to insurance of the production from
the acreage allotment for the farm.
“In no way does the 10 percent In-
crease relax the provisions pertain-
ing to achievement of warcrop goals.”
Mr. Vincent said.
Under this year’s program, 90 per-
cent of tbe warcrop goals established
for any farm must be met before pay-
ments w|U be made.

ten southern producing states and
California Is in better condition at
this time of the year than ft was
a year ago, the agriculture depart-
ment reported.
Tbe board said the North Carolina
prospects pointed to the beat crop
in several years. Heavy rains and
flooded field - delayed plantings and
caused some rotting of seed from
Georgia to Louisiana, the report add-
ed. hut recent weather has been more
favorable and the crop t» now making
good progress.

FOREST SABOTAGE IS
NOW FEDERAL OFFENSE
Forest products and standing Mm
ber suitable therefor are now specif-
ically Included In the Federal Habo
tage Act as war materials, the Texas
Forest Service has been notified by
the regional office of the federal for-
est service at Atlanta. Georgia.
One of the last acts of tho 77th
Congress was to give full statutory
recognition to the milltnry order Is-
sued by Major General Richard Done
van, commander of the HMth Ser-
vice Command. Dallas, and to a sim-
ilar order issued by the commanding
general of the Fourth Serlvee Com-
mand.
General Donovan vent to the Texas
Forest Service 3,000 coplea of a tim-
ber sabotage order in the form of
•posters In the latter part at 1943
with the request that they be widely
distributed in areas in the state pro-
ducing timber for the war effort.
The interpretation given to the
sabotage act by General Donovan
contained a special notice with ref-
erence to forest fires.
"All persons are urged te exercise
great caution that they do not cause
or tolerate fires which may damage
or destroy our forest,” the order read.
