Texas farmer* wjll continue to
be in a coat-r price squeeze muI9ST
The answer is to
squeeze by all right.
We have heard quite a few
farmers and others complaining
about cut ants -this winter. From
now until about mid March is a
good time to poison these pests.
The soil is still cold and usually
the ante have not sUrted feorking
very much until along in April,
Methyl bromide is the best chem-
ical- to use on the large towns,
cows-, where the ants are not Concen-
- according to extension economist
1 John G. Me Haney. Crop restric-
tions and increased agricultural
| export* may tend to relieve the
pressure created by large sur-
• ■ pluses ef cotton and wheat.
, Tighter credit and higher inter-
■ est rate* will probably nrtaki for
I a firmer check on inflationary
• trends, but should noj. affect a
| continuing strong demand 'foVagri-
. cultural products in 195?.
So it will be wise to. look over
! last years farm operations and
••»*• -plan this years operation from
j 9 the “past experiences. Farmers
have been in a cost-price squeeze
I for the past several years and
• more efficient use of, fertilizers,
) labor, machinery as well as more
. efficient management are the
; answer to maintaining the farm in-
! come or perhaps improving it.
For instance, as we check over
j our farm business we probably
• will find that we have been doing
j some things which have not made
. ' a. profit. Such as in a herd of
; cows there may be several that
• produce small calves each year
! that hardly pay for the trouble qf
) growing and feeding them until
market time. Other cows grow
. vigorous calves that sell for a
!. good price and make Some money.
tK3pr hot produce good calves jtratod in large towTis we har;
and concentrate on the cows that
do give. enough milk to make a
profit. The same is true of a
dairy operation, selj the low pro-'
ducing and borderline cows and
concentrate on the cows that do
give enough milk to make a pro-
fit. It takes just about as much
time to take'care of a low pro-
ducing cow- as a high producer
and she will eat as much feed so
it is only good business to sell
her. and keep her more profitable
sisters. .
This reminds us of the story of
a man who tried"Yo~i»acli, a Hew
station wagon between two cars
with only inches -to spare 6fi each
side. He got the car parked but
couldn't open the door on rather
side enough to permit him to get
out. What would you do? Back
out and find a new parking place
or remain trapped in the station
wagon where you are? He didn't.
He just crawled over to the back,
opened the back door and got out
into the street and went on about
his business.
The point of the story is thys .,;
every new year seems to present
many “impossible" v situations to
farm operators, but if we use our
heads like the driver of the sta-
tion wagon,, we’ll bo able to
towns since low' areas will drown
them oqt in wet years.
Several people hare Methyl
Bromide applicators to 'use in put
ting the chemical in the ant
towns. The County Agent’s office
has one, J. E. Seamans, the local
Vo-Ag. Instructor has one and
Livingston Drug Co. sells the ap-
plicators and chemical.
found that Dieldrin does a good
job/ ..................-
tk* the liquid cmulsifiable con-
centrate and mix with water ac-
cording to directions on the Con-
tainer and pour the mixture into
the openings the ants are coming
out of,
Follow up treatments are often
necessary after treating the large
Itasma with Methyl Bromide amf
we have found that the Dieldrin
does a good job . on this mop up
operation. ...
Where cut ants are a problem
you might as well expect to have
to work on them at least every
three or four years because they
will come back. They like the
high deep sandy tyvns fqr their

Your Soil Bank:
Fertilizer Factory
r
I
A. thick grass sod on your Soil
Bank acres will hold soil, moisture
and- plant food. Grass by itself,
however, cannot build any pew fer-
tility into your soil.
If the Sod Bank is to fulfill its
purpose of building new fertility
against the time when our fast-
growing population will need food
from every inch of land, the grasps
must have help. Inoculatedlegumes
sown with the grass will turn your
Soil Bank acres into fertilizer fac-
tories for you.
Alfalfa, clover, vetch, lespedeza,
soybeans, arid other legumes —
when inoculated — make nitrogen
crop food out of the air, They can
11rogts^Aewcver, only with .
the help of the special bacteria
supplied by inoculation. These bac-
teria form knots, called nodules, bs
shown on the clover root above.’
The bacteria live in theee nodules,
multiply millions of times, and
manufacture nitrogen fertilizer
out of the air.
An acre of mixed grass and in-
oculated clover can fix up to 200
pounds of nitrogen per acre per
year. Inoculation only coats 2c to
be an acre, returns dollars for pen-
nies. You can inoculate seed for an
acre m a couple of minutes.

ing your Soil Bank into a fertilizer *
