Corn Harvesting Tips
Harvest that corn early, but not
before it is dry enough for safe
storage.
If you harvest by hand, snap the
corn at 166 percent moisture or less
Ii you plan to sell the corn through
elevators, break it clean of stems,
faulty ears or stalks. Corn is usu-
ally bought on a shelled corn basis
and stalks will lower the Smelling
capacity of Smelling equipment,
causing waste of corn and time. If
you are planning to crush the corn,
clean picking is not as important.
For harvesting with a corn pick
er, harvest at 16 to 20 percent
moisture, preferably not more than
IL percent. Ear corn harvested at
IL percent moisture Or above may
need drying before storing. Store
at 16 percent moisture or less.
If you plan to harvest your corn
with a picker shelter or combine
picker head, you can get higher
efficiency at a higher moisture con-
tent Cup to Is percent} than at a
moisture content considered safe
for storage. But drying facilities
will be necessary. For safe storage,
moisture content of shelled corn
should be II percent or less and
definitely not more than IA per-
cent.
Proper adjustment of all mechan-
ical harvesting equipment is essen
tial to assure a good job of harvest
ing. Use the operators manual.

Did you know that the mail sub
sides granted magazines, periodi-
Gals and business were more in the
10-year period Q946-56} than the
total of the losses incurred by the
Commodity Credit Corporation in
its price support programs from
Oct. II, 1888, through Dec. 81, 1857?
The House Appropriations Com
mittee this year published a break
down of figures, which have been
reprinted by the Committee on Ayr
iculture, showing that the 10-year
mail subsidies amounted to 1868,
100000, while the losses to the CCC
for farm support programs in the
longer period were S5,173, TAG, 1888.
What is more interesting is that
the support program for basic COM
modities showed a profit of $13, oil,
290 from 1888 through 1852. Since
1852 the losses have been 81, 992, 067,
1863 on these commodities.
Cotton Showed Profit
The price support program for
cotton showed a profit of $268, 629,

In the 1952-57 period this profit was
turned to a loss of $439, 1877, 1896.

gram from the fiscal year of 1882
through 1857, including parity pay
ments, administration, export sub
sides, ect., cost SIS, COG, 100, 900.
This covers a period of Is years.
Compare this with the mail subsidy
Of over five billion dollars in a 10
year period. One is nearly as large
as the other.
The farm subsidies are rather
insignificant when compared to the
tax amortization and reconversion
payments made to industry after
World War II. These payments
were SAB, 1862, 900, 900, nearly three
times the cost of the farm program,
any way you figure it.
Agriculture has been attacked
in a vicious manner by many of
the Nations magazines for being
a drain on the taxpayer through
unjustified payments.

COTTON
Cotton insects particularly the
boil Weevils and in some areas the
boil worms seem to be increasing
from week to week. However, these
Weevils can be controlled with a
regular scheduled insecticide pro
gram.
Our main object now in u older
cotton is to prevent the weevils
from puncturing immature bolls.
In order for a boil to be safe from
boil weevil punctures it has to be
around q days of age from bloom
set in order to be considered safe
from boil Weevil attack.
Some of the older cotton on hill
land and in some of the sandy
areas of the delta have cut out and
r shedding young bolls at the top.
1t is doubtful if it would be advis-
able to poison such area any fur
Their. However, on areas where
your cotton is still green, growing
and setting new squares it is to
your advantage to protect it from
insect damage at least two to
three weeks longer.

Get Pastures Ready For Clover
On areas where you want clover
this fall, it will pay you to Craze
heavily during the rest of August
and September. This will help get
the bermuda out of the way so
clover can come in. White clover
just will not survive in high ber-
muda.
Two other bermuda areas also
need attention now. One is where
you want frosted grass grazing in
the late fall and the other is where
you want winter peas. The area
you want for frosted grass grazing
should not be grazed this month or
IN September, unless the grazing is
badly needed. The area to be in
winter peas or planted to winter
peas should be grazed some, but
not as much as the awhite clover
areas.
It is time now to decide where
you want the peas and to buy the
seed. Two methods can be used to
plant winter peas. One is to just
sow them out on top of the ground,
and the other is to put the seed in
the soil with a sod seeder. Where
the seed r put in the ground with
the sod seeder use only half as
