Hand-picking his cotton paid off
for Frank Smith this year. The
Little Elm farmer is making a
second harvest trip over his fields
and likely will come up with a
normal yield for the year.
Smith last month made two trips
•ver his fields at five-day inter-
vals with a mixture of DDT and
dieldrin to catch boll worm and
boll weevil infestations, and ex-
pects to harvest an extra quarter
bale per acre because plants were
stripped during the first harvest.
The Little Elm farmer ia only
one of the few growers who got
regrowth on his cotton this year.
But it's certain it wouldn't have
occurred had the plants been strip-
ped during mechanical harvest.
The extra quarter bale yield is
about the same as that picked
earlier from his acreage, which
pretty much equalled production
on most farms throughout the
area.

Sorghum Almum — one of the
most talked about crops in this
part of the country this year—is
due to be planted in Denton Coun-
ty ‘ seae -.
Felix Callahan, manager of the
450-acre Evers farm three miles
east of Denton, made a special trip
to the Wellington area this sum-
mer after reading reports of the
near-miracle crop. He brought
home 25 pounds of seed
A neighbor, Calvin Gabbert, also
has received some seed of the
crop, and plans to put in five or
10 acres next year. Others may
be planning trial plots of the for-
age if seed can be bought.
DROUGHT RES’STANT
"There's no real telling just
what that crop will do ‛ Denton
County.” Gahard con s. "But
if it does half as good here as it
did at Wellington, it will be a big
thing for this area.”
Sorghum almum is highly
drought resistant and grows to
heights of 10 or 12 feet—offering
rr6sibilities of large enailage ton-
nage if harvested that route. It
also improves with each year of
growth up to the fourth or fifth
year, according to reports drifting
in* Benton.
Planting rates are one and a
half to two pounds seed per acre.

is one of the luckiest farmers in
the county.
Since Oct. 1. when he received
half an inch of moisture, rainfall
totals on his farm have been eight
inches—more than double that for
his neighbors. He was leaving
town the day it started raining.
Morgan also had a good rain in
September, and more moisture dur-
ing mid-summer. "But the summer
rains contained a lot of hail. that
I'd just as soon be without,” he
says. The recent grains have been
good enough that he now wishes he
hadn't signed soil bank agreements
placing some of his wheat land in
the acreage reserve.

Rains serve a lot of purposes
besides providing moisture for
crops and water for fishing. They
also give research personnel an
opportunity to catch up on their
statistics, and that's what C. O.
Spence is doing with this year’s
work on hybrid sorghum demon-
strations conducted in the area.
Spence, who s in charge of pilot
plot demonstrations for the ex-
tension service and experimenta-
tion supervised most of the hy-
brid sorghum trials in collin and
Cooke counties this year, and pro-
mises to have the information to
all farmers "when I can get a
