Earl Winter Grazing

If you are planning an ear
ly winter grazing program it
would be advisable for you to
break your soil during the
early part of August and be
ready to plant in early Sept
ember. Do not break the soil
over 2 or 3 inches deep but
have a good loose seed bed
on that 2 or 3 inches.
A combination of oats. rye
grass and crimson clover
make an excellent grazing
combination. Your oats will
come on and be grazed on
early. Your rye grass and
crimson clover will furnish
lots of grazing during late
winter and early spring
months. 1t is necessary to
fertilize early winter grazing
with phosphate and nitrogen
at least so units of each.
If you are planting oats for
early winter grazing be sure
you have oats treated for
blotch as early planted oats
will develop blotch in most
seasons and will kill out oats
started early in the fall un-
less seed are treated.

Cotton
In early planted cotton Sc
cond generation of boil Weev-
lis are Matching out rapidly
in most fields. In order to
control this second general
ion of Weevils it is necessary
that you stay on a strict sche-
dule of poison. If you are US
ing a quick killing, short last
ing insecticide such as methyl
parathion, or malathiOn it is
necessary that you spray at
least two times each week to
prevent new punctures. If you
are using longer lasting mat
erialS SUCH as gu.hiOn and
SEWN it would be advisable
to spray or dust every 5 days
for the next couple of weeks.
By that time we are more
nan likely to have the mig
ration of boil Weevils from
one field to another.
In order to control migrat-
ing boil Weevils you should
use a long lasting insecticide
If the weather viii permit you
o do so. After migration Of
weevils start and we are hav-
ing showers every few days.
and you think it is advisable
to use a quick killing insecti-
eide such as methyl parath-
ion and malathiOn it would
be necessary to poison every
three days in order to con-
.rol your Weevils during mig
ration in rainy spells. With
good weather, using guthiOn
and SEWN you should be able
to control your Weevils on 5
day intervals.
BOllWOrms
We have not been bothered
with bollworms for the past
30 days and so far this week
we have not found enough
bollWQrm eggs over the coun-
ty to justly poisoning for boil
worms. We found a few boil
worm eggs in isolated fields
yesterday. Let me urge you
TO be on the look out for boil
worm eggs or young boil
worms every day this week.
If you find 4 to 5 eggs on 100
terminal buds or if you find
as many as 2 or 3 young
worms on 100terminal buds
it would be advisable to add
DOT or endrin to your in
'secticide in order to control
bollWorms. However, if you
are using SEWN it will not be
necessary to add bollworm
material as SEWN will do a
good job of controlling boil
worms.
Plant Lice on Cotton
We found some fields heavi-
ly infested with plant lice
Monday of this week. If plant
lice are a problem in your
field it would be advisable
to control them with a good
