HerbicidaI Oils -.
After cotton has been out
of the ground for z to 10 days,
herDicidal napthaS (oils) can
be used to do a good job of
controlling young grasses and
weeds.
The cotton plant has a
waXy coating on the stem that
protects it from injury, but
the young grasses and weeds,
with no such protection are
killed.
Farmers who plan to use
herbicida1 oils should make
the first application as soon
as the first weeds appear in
the drill. 1t is important to
establish 100 percent control
as soon as possible.
Up to three applications of
herbicidal oils can be made.
But stop applying the oils
when the permanent bark be-
gins forming on the base OF
the cotton stem.
Rate of application is 4 to
z gallons to the drill area per
acre on the first application.
Then apply no more than .
gallons to the acre in the drill
on subsequent applications.
Some farmers are using
four nozzles per row and are
treating around 5 inches of
the shoulder area with the
extra set of noZzles. These
nozzleS should deliver Il to z
times as much as the drill
noZZleS.
Some precautions for apply
ing herbicidal oils are: Make
application at least five days
apart. Apply only to healthy
cotton. Do not apply when
soil is too wet to cultivate,
unless air temperature is be-
low IS degrees. Do not make
applications Of herbicidal oils
after bark begins to form at
base of stem.

Best results will be obtained
by planting soybeans from
May l to June /, except IN
South Mississippi where plan
ting dates are June l to June
20.
Generally planting made
after May l will produce III
to % percent higher yields
than earlier paintings.
Wait until moisture is avail
able before planting. Soybean
seed should be placed in con-
tact with moist soils. A good
stand of mid-June planted
beans will produce higher
yields than a poor stand OF
early-May planted beans.
If beans have not been plan
ted on the area within three
years, inoculate seed before
planting.

| Another easily built and in
expensive shelter can be
! made by digging a trench
similar to one for a trench
Silo. A roof over It covered
with soil and a sandbaggea
entrance will make it into a
good shelter.
In areas that have drainage
problems, you will probably
need to build the shelter
above ground. You can do this
IN the form of an upside-doWn

A shelter should have 10

don't even know what the word
means, I will tell you-having
looked it up. MnemonicS you
don't pronounce the first "m"-is
the art Of improving the memory.
Secretary Wirtz can briefly
peruSe list of 20 items or brand
new names and then recall them
totally and in the right order.
He does it by what you might call
an enviSioned number system.
For instance, No. /, or uno, is the
United Nations to him and he
promptly ties in the first items he
wishes to remember in some way
with the U. N. No. 2 Is a pair Of
shoes. No. 3 don't remember
because I had not practiced mne-
monies at the time. No. 4 was a
bridge game. And so on. Six was
the Sextet from Lucia di Lamma-
moor" Seven was pair Of dice.
Twelve was dozen eggs. Fifteen
was Is men on a dead mans chest.
That last one, I think, would be a
humdinger. BY the time you could
visualize a dead mans chest big
enough to support is men, you
would have forgotten what the
thing was that you wanted to
remember.
Anyhow, said Bill Writ, his
system works for him. Everyone,
Of course, should figure out the
one that comes most easily to his
or her mind. Twenty numbered
images is apparently enough to
dream up because one is not often
required to remember more than
20 new names or new facts at any
one time.
