OUTLOOK OK

(This is the way prospects for
Virginia farm prices looked to
he Virginia Department of Agri-
culture on Friday. The Depart
nent offers it to farmers with
me warning that no one can
predict prices and be right all
he tinle.)
CATTLE
Virginia cattle prices are in a
normal seasonal decline pattern.
but becouse of the shortage of
supply the decline is not to be as
pronounced as last year.
Any additional adjustment dur
ing the next two or three weeks
should be on slight decline.
Last years sharper and earlier
lrop was considered abnormal.
There is an extremely light
movement to Virginia market at
his time. Grass fed cattled will
.ot start cOnirg to market un-
i'll July. Federally inspected
cattle slaughter is down two per
cent for May as compared with
asst year. Because of the short
Virginia supply, local prices are
not following the normal price
relationship to midwestern mar
'letS.
Cattle prices in Virginia last
week were: good steers, $2475
to $2625; standard steers $22 to
2450; good heifers $40 to $22;
standard $3.50 to $2O.5O. Chica-
90; choice steers, $24.25 to $26;
good $22.25 to $3.50; choice heif-
ers S24 to SIS: good $2l.75 to
$3.50. During the past 10 days
op Virginia price for choice
leifers was $26, and top price
.0r steers was S27.
VEAL
Veal prices are approaching
their seasonal low and are ex-
pected to bottom out about July
|. A seasonally heavy supply of
calves coupled with a seasonal
consumer consumption decline is
normal for this time of the year.
Last weeks Virginia auction
averaged prices were $3.50 for
choice and prime. $29 for good
and S27 Is for standard.
CABBAGE
A reasonable good market is
expected to prevail for Virginia S
late spring cabbage which is now
moving in volumn.
Overall cabbage production in
the last spring cabbage states
Virginia North Carolina, Ten
nessee, Maryland, Ohio and Mis-

| beetle damage to corn for
grain?
Ayes, tests in Virginia have
confirmed that beetle damage is
more severe if the corn is silk
ing when the beetles are abun-
dant. Since the Japanese beetle
became common in northern
Virginia, the peak of beetle pop
ulation has ordinarily been in
late July.
Q-Why are winter oats fArl-

height this spring?
A-Weather conditions at the
time the oats were shooting and
growing were not favorable to
stem growth.
Q-What is the best stage Of
growth to pillow under crimson

A-This depends on what crop
is to follow the clover, but don't
pillow under later than the full
bloom stage.
Q-Should I use atrazien

A-Used Immediately after
planting or before weeds en-

Better Forage
Methods Given
By Agronomist

Some brief reminders on pas
ture and alfalfa are passed along
this week by John F.. Shoulders.
agronomist at Virginia Poly
technic Institute.
He says farmers who did not
topdress alfalfa with fertilizer
last winter should do so after
the first cutting this spring.
bodybuilding alfalfa needs plen-
ty of plant food. Use 600 to 1000
pounds of 0-10-10. 0-9-27, or OLA
~; or 800 to 600 pounds of O-18-
Is, or 0-25-25 with borax, depend
ing on the stand and the pres
cnt fertility level of the field.
Bulletin 1888. Fertilizer Recon-
mendations for Virginia" gives
details. Ask your county agent
tor a free copy.
Shoulders also warns against
letting excess pasture go to
waste. Harvest j. for silage. or
for hay if it is not practical to
make silage. For high quality
sllage harvest as the grass heads
are emerging from the boot.
Grass silage cut at this stage
should Re Wilted.
May is the month to begin
planting pearl millet or sudan
grass tor grazing Or green chop
to use in midsummer when pas
lures are usually short.
Another tip-pastures should be
clipped to remove grass seed
heads before they go to seed.
This will avoid semidormant
period after seeding. If the pas
ture is rot harvested for hay or
silage, Sc. the cutterbar high so
it leaves the grass blades, re-
moving only the heads and a
little Of the seed stack. Remov-
Ing the seed heads will improve
growth ill June and July, Should

Tomato Early
Blight Can Be
Controlled

Early blight on tomatoes = a
common woe in Virginia's home
gardens can be controlled,
says S. B. Femme, plant patholo-
gist at Virginia Polytechnic In
Stitute.
The disease affects the seed
lings, leaves, stems and some
times the fruit. On older plants
the first symptoms appear as
small, irregular. brown. dead
spots on leaves. The spots en-
large up to one-half inch in
width and commonly show rings
in the target pattern. The leaves
often are killed by the last part
of the season.
When early blight affects fruit
stems, it can cause the blooms
to drop and loss Of young fruit.
On older fruit it causes dark.
leathery, sunken spots where
the fruit is attached to the
stem.
To control early blight, start
spraying or busting when the
tomatoes are about the size of
chicken eggs. Use maneb
spray 90 per cent wettable
POWDER, or zineb, at seven to
ten-day intervals, depending or
the weather. If you prefer dust
ing, use a 6.5 per cent material
Dusts, however, are not as ef
fective as sprays.
Femme also has some advice
about general purpose sprays
and dusts for both disease and
insect control. Most of the So
called general purpose" ma
terials can be used on both vege-
tables and ornamentsls. The ma
terials generally contain one or
more Of such fungicides as cap
tan, ferbam, maneb, zineb, cop
per, karathane, or sulphur; and
one or more of such insecticides
as DOT. methoxychlor, or mala-
thion. Under normal conditions,
the home gardener can get reas-
enable control with minimum
of trouble with these mixtures.
