LINING Soil
By W. R. SULLIVAN
COUNTY AGENT

Lining Soil -
Right now is the best time
to have lime spread on your
pastures and row crop land.
The ground is dry SO that
lime spreading trucks can get
across fields easily. +.
If you are going to do fall
blowing, apply lime before
blowing So that it will be-
come mixed with the soil.
How do you know whether
or not your land needs lime?
A soil test will give the ans
Wer.
Here are some of the things
tina lime does for you: In do
lomitic lime, it supplies cal
cium and magnesium to the
soil. 1t corrects the PHI of acid

ton in the soil - necessary
for good growth from clovers

Even though we did not get
good results from coastal ber-

during the early part of this
year we still believe that
coastal bermuda has a def
mite place on your farm if
you need extra grazing and
extra hay. We know that with
the right preparation of our
land and setting it in late
winter or early spring we can
secure a good stand of coast
al bermuda.
We failed to get a good
stand this past year due to
an excessive dry spring and
summer and with poor pre-
paration of our seed bed.
If your coastal bermuda
area is prepared during the
winter and revoked lightly
just before you are ready to
set out in early spring we
see no reason why WE can not
obtain good coverage of coast

from such areas.

Winter Grazing -

poor quality
] Anyone who buys INFESTED or
non-recommended varieties OF
small grain, hay; and pasture
seed may lose all or part OF
their investment in land, land
preparation and fertilizer.
I In the overall cost Of pro-
ducing a crop, seed is a minor
item whether it is the cheapest
or most expensive seed. II
generally works out in the end
that the cheapest seed is by far
the most expensive. 1t is i'm
possible to justify the loss in
yield and quality that results
from poor seed when compared
with the few cents per acre
more you might pay for good
seed Of known quality and per-
formance.
Will you look for a good buy?
Or, more important, will you
get good quality seed? You can
get the answers to these ques-
tions on the analysis tag at
tached to the seed you buy. Is
it an unmixed, adapted, recon-
mended variety? Is it clean and
free Of weeds? IS the germina-
ton high enough to give a good
stand? Two other things are i'm
portant: Look FOR certified seed,
and buy from reputable sources.
Research has shown that va
rieties and planting dates can
also make a difference.

THE GREEN
THUMB

sWhy do we have more in
sects and diseases now than we
used to have?' | have been asked
this question many times this
year, and I think there are sew
eral reasons for this.
First of all, any time there is
a concentration Of a single crop
in an area, there will be more
pests on that crop and the more
a crop is grown in the same
field the more problems you
can expect. This is especially
true Of certain vegetables, soy
\ beans and gardens throughout
Sussex County.
New pests are also brought
into the DelmarVa Peninsula.
read recently where federal in
spection found 3 different kinds
Of nematodeS on two tractors
being shipped into this country.
Although these tractors had been
cleaned and repainted there was
still some soil stuck to them and
the nematodeS were in this soil.
These tractors we're thoroughly
cleaned and painted again be-
fore they were allowed into this
country. However, not all pests
can be detected in spite Of the
continuous efforts of the inspec-
tors at the ports Of entry.
Anytime you dig up a plant
while you are travelling and bring
it home, you can be bringing
new pests into your garden and
yard. These pests can be on
the plant or in the soil that
comes with the plant.
A more strange and less com
mon method that we think of
pests moving around is in rain
fall and wind currents. Uni
versity of Wisconsin Entomolo-
gists report that it can actually
rain potato leafhoppers. They
report that the warm South winds
and air masses carry the leaf
hoppers upward and rain and
dOwndrafts are two ways in
which the insects may get back
to earth. Mites and other small,
light insects can easily be blown
across your field. They can also
be carried to or from your
neighbors' field.
Yes, we do have more pests
today than we had several years
ago, but we also have good con-
trolls for most of these. So If
you are troubled with pests, stop
in at our office or contact US
and ask for the latest recon-
mendations. Then read the label
and apply these materials ac-
cording to the directions.
Fall armyworms are showing
up occasionally around Sussex
County. Corn earworm popula-
tions are building up quite a bit
in soybean fields, too. Keep an
eye open for these pests and
contact US if control becomes
necessary.
