Three Dates OF
Ca|ying Studied
In 1O-Year Test

State College-Tnree systems
Of calving were compared in a
l~ong-range beef cattle study at
the Brown Loan Branch Elk
pertinent Station near Ray
mCnd.
One group of COWS were bred
o calves in the fall. In another
group the bull remained with
The herd throughout the year
nd the calves were born on q
ear-round basis.
AT the end of ten years o.
careful record keeping E. G.
Morrison found there had been
little difference in the return
rom three systems. Mr.. Morrl-
5on concluded:
These results indicate all
three calving systems may be
used satisfactorily. The n Sc
.ected should be based on meth
Cd of wintering best suited to
individual operations, whether
summer pasture will be provld-
ed, ard the program Of market
ing calves. Satisfactory results
from y~ear-round calving will re-
quire primary emphasis on the
winter program. Providing good
summer pasture appears to be
the major factor in late-winter
calving."
The y~ear-round system pro-
duced a slightly higher calf
crop, but it involved greater
marketing and management
problems. Cows from the fall
system had the highest salvage
value when culled. Calves from
the late-winter system were best
adapted to carrying to heavier
weights. At weaving they are
ready for winter grazing.

lished in the June issue of Mis-
sissippi Farm Research available

Station at State College.

ICE CREAM a
DESSERT

Ice cream could be an even
mere popular dessert than it is
now. Homemakers need to know
more about the nutritive value
of ice cream Ice cream is gen
orally well liked, is ready-pre-
pared and easy to serve. Would
you mark true or false" by
these three statements about ice
cream? You get a perfect score
if you said true for all three
Of them. They are conclusions
from a study of 808 Mississippi
homemakers by DIR. Dorothy
Dickins Of the Mississippi Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.
DIR. Dickins also found that
many homemakers want to
serve a dessert that is dinstinc
tive and gives variety and in
dividuality to the menu, espec-
ALLY when they have guests
Many like to add their own spe-
cial touch to the dessert rather
than serve it just as it came
from the store. For this reason
many of the women said they
didn't serve ice cream for "com-
pany dinners"
The homemakers who regard
ed ice cream as "fattening" of
ten don't know the other favo-
rite desserts rated higher in
~calories. Ice cream is not as fat
tening as many kinds of pie.
Eight ounces of plain, factory
packed ice cream has 295 Gallo
ries. But a four-inch section of
apple pie has $50 calories and
the same size piece of lemon
meringue pie has 300 calories.
One-fourth cup of ice cream, IL
a small helping, has about 100
calories.
Ice cream is a good food for
calcium, a point worth consider
ing when planning meals for
growing children, DR.. Dickins
said.

LAY BY
FOR CORN

Late weeds can cause lots of
trouble III corn. Broad leaf
weeds of all descriptions can be
controlled in corn fields by the
use of two-thirds 10 one pint of
PAD in Is gallons of water,
enough to cover one acre.
Ii corn is over ten to Il inch
es tall use drop nozzles and just
spray top Of weeds being care
full not TO SET PAD spray into
the buds of corn. If corn is less
than ten inches tall you may
spray entire field broadcast
using one and one-half plnts of
FAD in 20 to Is gallons of
water to give a broadcast spray
over one acre. When corn is
less than ten inches in height
it does not hurt to spray over
tops of the corn. This is a very
economical way of Kidding your
fields of cockleburs and noxious
weeds.
Be careful not to get too close
TO cotton fields with your FAD
equipment. On windy days
spray with a low pressure SO
the drift will not go very far.
In spraying near cotton fields
be sure the wind is blowing
away from the cotton fields be-
fore using PAD. However, on
normal days with low pressure
corn fields can be sprayed with
in eight TO ten feet Of Gotten.

powder and will stay in suspen-
SIGN without settling out quite
g while, enough SO that you
should be able to apply it very
easy with your high boy or

buying SEWN let me urge you

lealer that you do not want the
So per cent formulation which

SEWN is very effective against
all cotton insects except red

economical material we can
use considering that it will kill
all insects and that we do not
have to use combinations
mixtures in order to get both
worms and weevils.

IT IS THE T
I n THAT u

Doing a good job with what
ever poison you use is the most
important thing in controlling
cotton insects as they should be
controlled. Be sure and put the
recommended dose on the cotton
plant = not out in the middle.
The past few days I have OBJ
served spray machines that are
suppose to be over the top of
cotton spraying IN the middle
Of rows.
On WINDY days reduce your
pressure down to so or 35
pounds pressure in order that
tne spray material will get to
the plant. On still days, without
wind blowing very much, run
your pressure up TO 40 pounds.
1t is not advisable to use over
40 pounds pressure unless you
are uing extra large tips such as
NC 6 tips, etc. Check your trac-
Tor speed SO that you will know
you L getting the amount of
material on the plant that you
should have. l have noticed a
few high boys runnig the last
few days with No. 3 tips ten to
y miles per hour. Unless YOU
have large enough tips for this
speed you are not getting the
amount of material needed on
your cotton.
When you add up all the little
mistakes in spraying your cot
ton it is enough to cause failure
on your insect program.

COTTON INSECT CONTROL

With threatening weather con
ditionS, as we have at present
time, it would be advisable to
use a quick killing poison such
as methyl p%arathion. Mix one
gallon Of methyl parathion in
enough water to cover 10 to Is
acres of cotton that is squaring.
On younger cotton before squar-
ing begins mix one gallon of
methyl parathion in enough
water to cover "a acres. After
the threat of weather has gone
it would be advisable to go back
TO one of your long lasting in
sectlcides such as guthion or

have had many years of success
full experience in helping to de-
velop and guide local leaders.
This system resulted in a great
deal of our improved farm pro-
duc.Ion and marketing, indus
tres related to agriculture, pub
lie improvements and generally
higher standards of living in
rural areas" MI. Shaw declared.
The pattern for helping local
.caders in this new Area Re-
development is the same as we
nave used for many years. We
first help them to survey their
problems and opportunities.
Then they set countrywide or
area-wide goals for improve
ment. Finally, they put to work
practical action-type programs
to reach these goals" he ex-
planned.
The Redevelopment job is So
arge that a team" approach by
al local organizations, civic
groups and governmental agen-
cies is a must" for its success,
Director Shaw emphasized.
As with Rural Development,
this program will include such
areas as agriculture, forestry,
manufacturing types of indus
.ry, trade, tourists and recrea-
ion, water resources, education
and health.
Rural Development in Missis-
sippi was started in the fall of
1855 with three pilot counties.
To date, IA of the states 81
counties have been officially
designated "R Develop
ment" by the State Agricultural
Coordinating Council, which
serves as the state committee
for the program. These counties
are Amite, Calhoun, Chickasaw,
Copiah, Covington, DeSoto, Hol-
mes, Lawrence, Newton, Pike,
Simpson, Tippah, Walthall and
YaZoo.
A majority of the counties in
Mississippi have E~xtension-or-
gained groups of local leaders
conducting development pro-
grams similar to Rural Develop
ment.
Results due to Rural Develop
ment in Mississippi during the
past five years include:
Tippah County has more than
doubled the number of persons
employed in local industries,
bringing the total to over 1000.
Many local leaders of all ages
have been developed. Town and
rural people understand each
other better.
A new charcoal plant in Cal
houn County provides both add
ed employment and a profitable
outlet for scrub" hardwood.
Simpson County is setting up
local trade and industrial train
ing for both public school stu
dents and adults.
A garment manufacturing plant
that will employ $50 people has
been secured in Amite County.
Several services to further de-
velop the agricultural and for
estry resources of the county
have been added through Rural
Development.

plan and are included In
the estimate of costs.
@. Can a landowner develop
a few acres this year in the
Forestry Bank program.
add a few more acres next
year. and perhaps add other
acres the following year?
A. Yes. 1t is quite possible
that the management plan
may permit the develop
ment of blocks of acreage
at staggered intervals.
Additional acres may be
developed from year to
year, as long as development
costs do not exceed, at any
time, the maximum dollar
limits established by law.
Q. Who estimates how much
money will be needed to
develop a specific timber
tract?
This will be estimated by
a management forester at
the time a timber manage
ment plan is prepared.
Q. Who does a landowner see
first to get money to i'm
prove his land?
A. The landowner must check
first with a conventional
financial agency in the
county where he lives.
Under the Forestry Bank
program, it is hoped that
landowners can secure for
est development funds from
their local financial insti-
tutlo1S. In such instances,
the Forestry Bank will in
sure those loans fully. The
Forestry Bank is not in
competition with private
enterprise, but is an agency
established to provide
assistance whenever local
sources are unable to help.
Q. What does a landowner do
if he is turned down by a
conventional financial
agency?
A. In such cases, he first gets
a certificate of refusal. Then
his next step is to apply
directly to the Forestry
Bank for assistance in his
timber program.
.. How does a landowner
apply for federal funds?
A. A landowner must apply
to the local ASC County
Committee in the county
where the land is located
and must cooperate fully
with a Commission Forest
er and the county ASC
committee to secure tree
~r'"~tng and ISL assistance.

". Whdt is a TIMBER manage
ment plan?
A. A management plan is a
written plan for the opera
ton of a forest property,
using good forestry prac-
tees.
Q. Why is a timber manage
ment plan necessary?
A. Timber, properly managed,
produces more income than
unmanaged timber. Under
proper management, Mis-
sissippi's idle acres can pro-
vide a continuing source of
income for landowners.
Mississippi's timber produc-
ton can achieve its goal
of a billion-dollar income
source much faster if it de-
velops according to good
forestry practices, as set
forth in well-defined man
agement plans.
Q. Who helps the landowner
develop a timber manage
ment plan?
A. Assistance in this will be
given by a management
forester from the Forestry
Commission.
@. Who approves the timber
management plan?
A. All management plans must
be approved by the Forest
ry Commission.
Q. Does a landowner have to
fence his cumberland?
A. AS a general rule, no. Fenc-
ing will be required only if
livestock Craze on adjacent
property, and also if fenc-
ing is required as a part of
the management plan.
@. Can a landowner Craze
livestock on this land?
A. AS a general rule, no. Live
stock will destroy young
seedlings. Livestock may
Craze under controlled con-
ditions on land where exist
ing timber is large enough
that it will not be damaged.
Q. If there are some trees al
ready on the land. how does
a landowner determine
what his land needs?
A. This will be determined by
the timber management
plan as it is developed by
the landowner and the
management forester.
@. Will the Forestry Commits
sion build fire lanes around
the timber?
A. Fire lanes will be built
only if they are a part of
