FARMING
TODAY
with
Johnnie McKay
-County Agent-
jim Tarrant, registered
Brahman breeder west of Mt
elman, was elected to the
Cherokee County Soil and
¡Water Conservation District
oard last week. He will serve
as director for zone l, which is
generally the Northwest part
of the county, and will serve for
term of five years.
The election was held at the
Tarrant ranch and prior to the
[election we toured some of the
[ranch and viewed some of the
[pastures and cattle. One
[pasture that was of special
I interest was a bermuda clover
pasture where crimson clover
had already gotten big enough
that cattle were getting some
grazing. This pasture was on
some red gravelly land and
! Jim was in the process of
getting the grass down short,
so the clover could come on
through. He showed us one
area in the pasture where
grass was too tall last fall and
he lost his clover stand.
Another pasture of special
interest was a field of
Coast-Cross I Bermuda. This is
one of the few stands of this
grass that are left from the
plantings made 6 or 7 years
ago. This field is doing good.
Jim started with a 3 or 4 acre
strip and has been expanding
the planting some each year,
hoping to wind up with a 70
acre field in another year or
two.
Of interest as far as cattle
were concerned, was one
particular bull that Jm pointed
out. This particular Bull's
calves are averaging 50 pounds
heavier at weaning than calves
from other bulls on the ranch.
Jim keeps weaning weight
records on each calf and sends
information to Production
Registry International where
complete computerized re-
cords are prepared for his herd
and copies are sent to Jim for
his use in culling and selections
in the herd. He plans a
production sale for this coming
February.
Officers for the election were
L. G. Hunley, chairman, H. H.
Cullum, secretary and Lester
Lee, tally clerk.
Hay harvest is still active in
Cherokee County; and if a
freeze holds off and the
weather stays good, we may
still get enough hay to winter
the cattle in the county. Charlie
Nix who does custom baling in
the Jacksonville area says he
has a waiting list that may hold
him till frost and Ferrel Hicks
from Wells told me this week
that there's lots of hay yet to be
cu! in that area In driving
through the county we see
quite a lot of hay on the ground
Many arc putting this last
cutting in stacks or big round
bales and leaving them in the
field.
Plans for the Cherokee
County Hay Show and auction
to beheld in Jacksonville. Oct
17 are molding into shape. Jack
Dillard, Radio Farm Director
from KWKH in Shreveport will
be the guest speaker for the
noon luncheon for producers
and business men participa-
ting in the show and auction
Jack will also auction the hay
following the noon meal.
Producers having hay in the
show and business men bidding
on hay in the auction will
receive complimentary tick-
ets. Anyone else wishing to
attend the luncheon will be
welcome and may obtain a
ticket from the Jacksonville
Chamber of Commerce.
The Cherokee County 4-H
Adult Leader's Association,
headed In Mrs. M. D.
Arrington, will serve the
Barbeque luncheon at the First
Presbyterian Church Fellow-
ship Hall. The luncheon will
also feature homemade de-
serts. Proceeds from the
luncheon will be used to
promote 4-H Club work in
Cherokee County.
We're looking forward (o a
great show and auction
According to what a field
representative of one of the
major fertilizer companies told
me this week, fertilizer
supplies will continue to be
tight. He says his company has
reduced their dealerships,
keeping only the better ones
and all these will be issued
quotas for next year. He says
cotton and milo will be
demanding more of the
fertilizer supply for next year
because of expected good
prices.
