> Among the earliest composites
TO produce flowers. a group COM
monty called dandelions. would
likely be seen first. They grow
better in the central and north
ern states. They form a rosette
and send up leafless stems or
stripes only few inches long
with a bright yellow head almost
an inch across. The leaves are
deeply notched.
Other dandelions are the Kri-
gia and Cynthis forms. They both
have a pale blush green color re-
sembling a bloom. The former
produces stripes with terminal
flowers almost an inch across.
The latter produces much smaller
flowers. The stems are jointed
and are rather friail and usually
have two or more heads per stem.
A little later a false dandellon
with coarser plant, and reach
ing two feet or more in height,
and floral diameter of an inch or
more, is conspicuous.
The thistles and sowthistles are
more or less common. The large
stem and the rosette of spring
leaves identify thistles. Flowers
may be two inches or more across.
There are three species of SOW
thistles. They all have yellow
heads that are half inch or more
across and from four inches to
three feet tall.
The most attractive of tn e
spring composites is the Black
Eyed Susan. On a slender grace
full stem. this brilliant head with
long ray flowers and purple cone
shaped disc is a favorite of many
flower lovers. 1t is one deserving

Beef Production
Reveals Growth

The cattle business, was clear
ly, the brightest spot in our en-
tire farm economy this past
year. Mississippi ranks ninth in
the nation as beef cattle state.
Few segments of Mississippi's
farm economy have shown a
health growth to compare with
that of beef cattle production.
Farmers breaking away from a
one-crop cotton economy find
that beef cattle have many ad-
vantages. L a Dor requirements
are not so great as for any field
crop.
The weather can't wipe you
out overnight - although it can
hurt you over period of weeks.
But cattle are good security and
many a producer will find ready
credit so he can hang on for
better days.

|F erfilizer Use
Recommended

Don't be penny-wise and
pound-foolish when it comes to
the use of fertilizer" Many farm
ers say they have to cut down on
expenses. This is true. But cutting
down on fertilizer is not the way
to cut down expenses.
Fertilizer is the barometer of
crop production. Wise use of fer
tilizer is not an expense, but an
investment. Fertilizer should be
used according to recommended
tons of a soils test.
Land selection is also vital to
high production; many farmers
who put cotton land in the soil
bank are planning to plant corn.
This corn should be planted on
corn land, should be fertilized
properly and planted to an adapt
ed hybrid. Weeds must be con-
trolled.

Farmers Prepare
For Big Planting

The heavy snow which covered
much of Mississippi was just an
other of many weather problems
for state cotton farmers but, de-
spite everything, they are bracing
for another big effort this year.
High demand for cottonseed has
