Value Of Milk
Cows Increasing

"Bossy's value is on the up
grade" dairy specialists at VPI
say. In the past 10 months prices
for milk animals have moved UP
gradually. They reached an aver
age of $l65 in July. marking the
highest level since July, 1853.
A milk cows value depends on
her ability to produce milk, and
on her salvage or carcass value.
The drop in beef cattle prices,
which began in 1852. was large
~ responsible for the decline in
average prices received by farmers
for milk COWS from peak of
1865 per head in 1852 to a low Of
Sal per head in December. 1854.
Low beef prices definitely hin
der the culling program in most
dairy herds, the dairy scientists
say. The low carcass value OF Gull
dairy stock has tended to hold
down the rate Of culling. The in
creases now underway in beef
prices may induce many dailymen
to sell few more of the older
cows, and to keep greater num-
Der OF heifers for replacement
than they have in the past few
years.
Dalrymen are in relatively
favorable position, as beef cattle
production moves downward. The
current phase of the cattle cycles
will result in higher prices for
low-grade animals culled from
the dairy herd.

Un-Prevoked Assault By Armyworms

stand of rye about six inches high.
was delight to see last Friday
However. by Monday there was
nothing green left standing in the
field-0nly a horde Of arnlyworrns
that squashed under-..oot with a
Sickening noise.
The vangua ar of armyworms
passed by the cockleburs growing
in the midst Of the tender, green
rye. but the rear-guard fell upon
this as greenland. therefore. edible.
and proceeding to annihilate even
the tough weeds
Bill Derey on whose livestock
farm the worms were found. was at
a loss to explain where they came
from or where they went. but there
IS no question that they helped them
selves to a nice meal at his ex-
pense.
The field is located In a bend of
Appcmattox river in Cumberland
county Derey had cut about is
acres of corn for ensilage. and left
the rest Of the rs acre field Of corn
standing to be picked later.
For Winter Pasture
He planted rye in the cut-over
portion about three weeks ago, and
the rains came on it just right for
a "pefect stand. He had hopes
that the rye would come back after
the armyworm attack, but has given
up hope and will replant the rye
soon.
The armyworrns did not make
much of a dent in the corn since
it was found too tough, but some OF
the more eager worms were giving
it try as late as Tuesday.
Derey said his corn crop was good
The bottom land was a perfect site
for corn in the face Of the drought
in August Large, welcomed ears
were plainly visible throughout the
field.
With the first onslaught of the
armyworms, Derey began spraying

the back ones came in and ate the

E. F. Striplin county agent. pro-
vldes plenty Of information On the
armyworm. He said the insect is
not too much OF problem around
here but is quite common in the
eastern counties where ii does a lot
of damage. Striplin recalled an at
tack several years ago on the turkey
farm of Arthur and Leroy Welchlin
They turned their turkeys in to feed
on the worms. but even the turkeys
could not eat enough to appreciably
reduce the attacking multitude.
Parent Is a Moth
The sudden appearance of the
worm in the field is explained be
cause the parent moths, at times
fly In great numbers for miles ir
the direction Of the prevailing vino
and congregate to deposit their eggs
on grasses and small grains which
are favorite foods for their worn
offspring.
The moths fly only at night which
accounts for the fact they are sci
dom seen.
The armyworm may complete a:
many as three generations in one
year but seldom two successive
outbreaks in any given locality.

Forrest Facilities
Discussion Topic

The need for permanent fores-
try camp facilities within the
hardwood area for use by Miss
issippi State College students
was discussed at a recent meet
ing of the Delta Council Forestry
Committee.
The committee chairman said
the camp would provide the OPP
portunity for a Through study
of hardwoodS in the Delta-such
facilities are already available in
the pine producing area of Sou
tn Mississippi.
With more than one-third OF
the area producing hardwood
timber, the income from hard
wood poduction could greatly in
crease by the practice of better
timberland management and fire
protection measures.

Social Security

What evidence do you have In

lish your date of birth? If your
marriage were to be questioned
can you prove you are married?
What was your gross salary last

questions. They are some of
the statements you can be re-
ouired to prove when you file
claim for benefits as a retired
wage Garner under the Social
Security Act. Just as bit of
information, benefits can total, in
some survivor cases, more than
$4,000 before the full liability
of the law has been discharged.
This explains why the Social Sc
curity Administration requires
proof of certain events which
most of us take more or less for
granted.
Actu ally, having available
proof of age, proof of marriage,
and evidence of wages paid will
not only help you to meet the
requirements of the law, but
will speed the day when you
will receive your first check.
Any delay in obtaining the nee
essary proofs results in delay
in receiving your first check. If
you want your checks promptly,
be equally prompt in furnishing
the required proofs.
