HUSK SOUTHERN CORN
Husked Corn Is Freer from Insects
and Con Be stored and Fumigated
More Economically.

Southern farmers should husk their
ear corn in the field and not store
it with the husks on, according to
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The husks
carry from the field to the crib the
insect pests that attack corn, and the
damage to the corn is thereby in
creased. 1t is possible to fumigate
husked corn more effectively at less
expense, and much greater amount
OF husked corn can be stored in the
same crib room.
This advice, which is contrary to
the custom more or less general in
the South of storing corn with the
husks on, is based on recent investi-
cations. 1t is found that cribbing
corn with the husks On insures car
rying practically every insect from
the field to the crib, and it prac-
tically doubles the volume of storage
room required per bushel of corn.
The amount of carbon disulphid need
ed to treat unhusked corn! in open
cribs is much larger than that re-
qulred for husked corn in closed
cribs. Husking in the field will leave
at least three-fourths of the insects
on the husks in the field This will

oats this fall, due to the short crop
last spring, make it desirable to use
special precautions to get a good
stand with as little seed as possible.
AS less seed is needed when the seed
is sown early on well-prepared land,
attention to these points will pay
well. Oats usually do best after a
cultivated crop, such as corn or cot
ton. If these crops have been kept
free from weeds, it is best not to
plow the land but to make a fine
mellow seed ben 2 or 3 inches deep
with the disk, spring tooth, or spike
tooth harrow. The disk harrow is
the best of these tools for this pur-
pose, though the spikc-tooth or
smoothing harrow should be used the
last time over the field to break clods
left by the disk and to leave the
surface fine and smooth for the seed.
A good seed bed may also be made
with the disk harrow on land from
winch crop of cowpeas or sOy-bcan
hay has been removed. Flowing is
not usually advisable unless the land
IS very hard or wccdy, as it leaves
the ground so loose that it dries out
readily. If the field must be plowcd,
the work should be done at least two
weeks before seeding time and the
land then diskcd or dragged thor
oughly to firm it,

OF INTEREST TO THE FARMERS
SOW WINTER OATS
Liberal Acreage Should BE Sown in
South This Fall wherever the Crop
Is Adapted.

Because of the shortage of corn in
some sections Of the South and the
more than usual need for growing at
home all the feed that stock will
require, a liberal acreage should be
sown to winter oats this fall whcr-
ever that crop is adapted. While
many farmers had disastrous ex-
perence with oats last winter, when
large part Of the crop was destroy
ed by the February freeze, repcti-
tion Of that occurrence this year is
not very probable. Oats are general
ly recognized as being ordinarily the
best grain crop for fall sowing in
the South, as it usually yields bet
ter than other grains, natures early,
and both the grain and the straw
may be fed to live stock. In fact,
it is very general practice in many
sections either to cut oats for hay
Cr to feed them in the bundle to
work stock, thus providing both grain
and roughagc.
Seed Economy.

able, the seed may be sown with an
ordinary cotton or Corn planter or
"a one-horse drill. Sowing broadcast
and plowing or disking in requires
more seed and is a poor and uncer-
tain method. The usual rate Of seed
ing is 2 1-2 to bushels, but this
may be reduced to 2 bushels if the
seed is drilled early on well prepared
land. I The seed should be sown only
deep enough to be sure that it is
covered with moist soil, for deeper
seeding delays termination and early
growth. Sowing 1 to 1 1-2 inches
deep is usually sufficient.

been heavily fertilized for the preccd-
ing crop, no further fertilization is
necessary. On most soils, however,
the addition of 100 to 200 pounds of
acid phosphate or some other form
of phosphate fertilizer before or at
seeding time is beneficial. Fertilizers
containing nitrogen are usually ap-
piled to best advantage about the
time growth starts in the spring.
Varieties Recommended.
In the Gulf States, Georgia, and
the Carolinas, the best oat to grow
is the Red Rustproof or some of its
various forms, as Appler, Bancroft,
Cook, Hundred Bushel, or Patterson.
The Fulghum, very popular variety
in many sections, is quite similar to
Red Rustproof, but has the advant-
age of ripening 10 days to two weeks
earlier. In Arkansas, Tennessee, and
Virginia the Winter Turf is the best
variety to sow in the fall, as it is
harder than Red Rustproof and
Fulghum.
Seeding Dates.
Winter oats should be sown in Ten
ncsscc and Virginia from September
10 to October Is, according to the
locality. In the Carolinas and the
northern portions of the other South
ern States sow from October to
November |, and in the southern half
Of Georgia and the Gulf States SOW
from October Is to No embcr IS.
The farther north or the higher the
elevation at which the seed is to be

We wish to announce to the Farm
ers of Clarendon county that our Ware
house is now open and ready to store
their cotton. Owing to the increase
in value of cotton, making the expense
of insurance double what it was, our
charge will be 35c per bale per month
or fractional part.
1t has been truthfully said that
never in the history of the country was
the dictation of cotton prices so COM
pletely and exclusively i'm the hands
of the producers as it is today, and if
the market shall go to pieces and the
cotton of the South shall pass into the
hands of the buyers for less than it is
worth, the fault will be upon the pro-
duce1s, and upon them alone.

ed, SO why not store yours, and help
