SMALLER CALVES
MORE PROFITABLE
THAN LARGER ONES

Small calves are producing
more beef and more profit per
acre of winter grazing tn n
larger steers in Experiment Sta
ton tests.
In a winter grazing test at
the North Mississippi Branch
Station at Holly Springs $50
pound steers were stocked at
the rate Of one per acre. But
when smaller steers, weighing
about $50 pounds, were used,
the same type pasture carried
one and one-half animals per
acre In the 150-day grazing
periods, small steers gained
about as much as large ones.
When Agronomist B. L. Ar
mold averaged results of the
two test years, he found small
steers returned $45 per head or
ST. per acre above feed and
pasture costs. This compared to
$18 per head and per acre for
the larger steers,

port are published in the August
issue Of Mississippi Farm Re-

COTTON

The cotton insect situation is
much like ii was last week only
the boil weevils in the hill Sec
ton Of the county are increas-
ing tremendously. On cotton
still having blooms and young
bolls that need protecting it
would certainly be advisable to
keep a long lasting insecticide
on your cotton. If you can save
two bolls per foot of row to ma
turity this will amount to SIS
or SIG worth of cotton, which
is more than enough to justify
poisoning if you have enough
moisture and fertilizer in the
soil to hold the young bolls on
the plant to maturity.
1t is my opinion at this time
that guthion is about the only
insecticide in the hill section of
Holmes County that we can ex-
pect to keep the boil weevils
under control. Guthion should
be applied at five day intervals.
My observation in the delta
area of Holmes County is that
methyl parathion at three to
four day intervals will do a
good job of controlling the in
sects in the delta area of Holmes
County. But if the boil weevils
are beginning to migrate as they
are in the hills, there agair
guthion will be my preference
over the insecticides we have
available.
If worms are a problem it
would be advisable to add either
DOT or endrin to the insecti-
eide you are using to control
boil weevils in order to kill out
