The
Farmers
Corner
BY VERNON MARTIN
County Agrl. Agent
With planting time here, the
problem of controlling insects
may soon become a major job on
a lot of Delta county farms.
Never before in history have ag-
ricultural producers been asked
to plant and harvest crops as
large as those asked for in 1952
tnd no doubt the final production
figures for tlie year will reflect
iutl how well crop destroying in-
erts were controlled.
There is a lot more involved in
a good insect control program
than buying an insecticide and
applying it to the crop. First
t is suggested that the farmer
secure copies of bulletins that
describe the insects and gives the
best control measures. These
publications may be secured from
the county agent’s office. The
second suggestion is of prime im-
portance. Know what insecticide
is needed and then read the label
on the container to make sure
that it is the one recommended.
The great number of oiganic
i insecticides on the market today
| are offered in many different
! formulas and strengths and poor
insect control will result if the
correct materials are not used.
In the case of cotton spray’s the
recommendations listed in the
1952 Guide for Controlling Cotton
Insects In Texas should be fol-
| lowed. To insure proper dosage,
read the label and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to
the letter. Many failures have
resulted from the wrong use of
I formulas and strength of ma-
! terials.
Use only clean water for mix-
I ing spray materials and strain the
water when necessary. Many
spray nozzles are clogged from
unclean water resulting in poor
J applications as well as loss of
time in applying the insecticide.
i Spray or dusting equipment
I should be in top shape for be-
J ginning the job as soon as need-
ed. The early bird usually
catches the worm in insect con-
trol. Once insects get the head
start it is difficult to bring about
good control.

Mrs. Jessie Miller, Delta Soil
onservation District cooperator,
has completed shaping a water-
way on her farm just south of
Cooper. Preparations are now
being made to sod this waterway
with Bermuda grass. When wa-
terway is completed and grass
becomes established, an adjoin-
ing cultivated field will be ter-
raced and the terrace run-off wa-
ter will be emptied onto this
waterway.
Mrs. Miller has a very valuable
field on this farm. She recng-

ccurring. She appealed to the
local soil conservation district for
help. Soil Conservation Service
technicians inspected the farm
with Mrs. Miller and recommend-
ed that she establish the water-
way before attempting to terrace
the field. SCS technicians de-
signed and staked out the water-
way. Financial assistance was
secured through the ACP of the
Delta county PMA office.
Mrs. Miller approached this
important conservation problem
with the proper thinking and ac-
tion. Many, many Delta county
farmers and landowners have the
same, or worse, problems and
should attempt to do something
about it. Now is the best season
to sod waterways and pasture
with Bermuda grass. The local
soil conservation district is in-
terested in assisting as many
farmers as possible do this im-
portant job. Call on the district
if it may be of service to you
on this or any other conservation
problem.

Metabolism is that process by
which the body takes in outside
materials, uses the parts it needs,
and expells the waste. The
simplest phase of metabolism,
called basal metabolism, is the
use of air in the relaxed state.

REMINDERS
CONTESTS: Adult farmers as
well as 4-H club boys are re-
minded of the opportunities for
entering the Delta county con-
tests now available and they are:
Cotton Contest, Corn Contest,
Pasture Contest, Soil Conserva-
tion Contest, and 4-H Club Pig.
Remember that to enter the
contests we must make ourselves
be known in writing by first
filling out the application blank
or in the case of 4-H Club boys
we write an essay on: “The Value
of Producing Hogs as a Source of
Cash Income on our Farm.”
There are really two contests
for 4-H boys interested in get-
ting a registered pig, one spon-
sored by the Chamber of Com-
merce and the other by the Scars
Foundation. A total of 13 reg-
istered gilt pigs and one boar
will be awarded to 4-H boys this
year.
BUG CONTROL: Are you pre-
pared to stop the bugs in your
garden? If you are you will have
on hand good insecticides such
as 5% DDT Dust, 1% Rotenone,
Black Leaf 40 or 3% Nicotine
Dust, 57c Chlodane Dust and 20%
Sabadilla. Of course you will
need a good hand duster or
sprayer, whichever you prefer.
FRUIT TREE SPRAYING: It
is still not too late to do a worm
spraying for some fruit trees like
peaches. When one-half to two-
thirds of the petals fall it is
time.
LICE ON CATTLE: If you
have one cow or a hundred it
will pay to stop those lice now
with a good spraying of DDT
powder in water. Use at the rate
of eight pounds of 50% wettable
powder to 100 gallons of water.
Dairy cattle should have a spray-
ing of Methoxychlor instead of
DDT.
