jHig'n Cotton Yield Per Acre
May Depend Largely This Ye
On Effective Insect Control

U planted With a cottun planter
or Brillion grass seeder. Smith
wants to plant most of the seed
on his farm near Pawnee in the
Karnes County Soil Conservation
District.
Randolph Rachal said recently
that the recommended practice
of preparing very sandy land
late as possible was apprnprn,,*?
this year. He usually plants 40
to 60 acres of cucumbers on this
type of soil. At the present time

Hiph acre yields efficiently per
duced. determine the profit from I
growing cotton. One of the more:
important determining factor* in |
high cotton yields is keeping the
damage caused by insects to a
minimum. Another mighty im-
portant item is the weather but
man has been unable to do much
about solving this problem. He
can, however, through the use
of the right insecticides at the
right time materially increase
the production of quality cotton.
It is not too early to make
plans now for carrying the fight
to the cotton insect*, says A. C.
Gunter, entomologist for the Tex-
as Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice. He suggests that every cot-
ton producer in Texas obtain a
copy of C-182. ‘‘1952 Guide for

Dave Schmidt, who farms the
A. C. Tutt farm at Taft, has
planted about 40 acrea of Hubam
clover for soil improvement, root
rot control, and for attaining
better moisture penetration.
C. Gerdcs, Jr. of Sinton. has
had a waterway staked off by
technicians of the Soil Conserva-
tion Service. He plans to fence
it off and seed it as soon a*
weather permits. A properly es-
tablished waterway is needed for
the safe removal of excess water
from the terrace system, without
causing erosion. This farm is
located at Edroy.

Estes Martinez, who farms the j
P. L. Johnson farm 7 miles west
of Sinton, has fenced off a water-

way to KR bluestem this spring.
This will give him extra grazing
for his cows while furnishing
needed protection for the soil.
