This corn, when planted, was "Hill - Dropped." Corn that is normally planted every nine inches when hill dropped three grains are placed every 27 inches. At planting time, fertilizer was placed in the row, aldrin was used for wireworm con trol, and atrazine applied as a band treatment for grass and weed control. Test New Ground For Soil Needs All soils used for pro ducing crops, turfs and other types of growth should be tested regularly to determine their lime and fertilizer needs, but it is essential that the soil in "new ground" areas be tested to determine lime and fertilizer needs, as the final step before preparing the land for planting accordingtojame Stewart, Cherokee County Ex tension Chairman. This step should be con sidered a "must" if the producer really wants to know what he is doing. Soils that have been out of production for several years and those that have never been cultivated are generally very low in lime and fertility level. Why is it that our soils are naturally acid and low in ferti lity in their natural of un cultivated condition? The re latively hot and humid climate of this part of the country has much to do with the de velopment of this condition Relatively high amounts of rainfall and milk tem peratures favors the eventual loss of important plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, cal cium and magnesium from our soils. This makes it necessary to add these essential nutri ents if satisfactory growth is to be obtained. Soil acidity must be reduced with lime to obtain good growth and to make the most efficient use of applied fertilizers con taining nitrogen (N), phos phorus (P25) and potash (K20). Also dolomitic lime is our cheapest source of calcium and magnesium. A soil test is necessary to determine the lime and fer tilizer needs of new and "out I of production" land. Soil boxes and instructions for sampling fields and soil areas can be obtained from the county agricultural agent's office and from other agri cultural agencies in the county. Strawberry Tips Much of the success of next years strawberry plants will be determined by what kind of job is done with them now. Weeds cause poor crops and need to be removed now. The plantings need to be kpt clean. Since fruit buds form in September, don't forget the late August topdressing with 40-50 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre. This amounts to approximately a teaspoonsful of ammonium ni trate per plant or about 1 1/2 pints per 100 feet of row over the top of plants when they are dry. the third drink is on us!

Clay ASCS County Office HAYESVTLLE - Prolonged dought conditions, prevailing throughout the months of May and June and continuing into J uly, have brought about sev ere damage to all crops in Clay County and have left live stock farmers with no feed supply. The county USDA Disaster Committee was called into session on June 30. This is the first time that disaster conditions have ever war ranted a meeting of this group. The committee is composed of Ray Swaim, ASC county chairman, Philip J. Howell, FHA Supervisor, George C. Bowers, Extension Agent, Robert J. Nelson, SCS, and June C- Waldroup, Manager ASCS. Prior to the meeting a sur vey had been conducted thr oughout the county to de termine the status of condi tions. It was the consensue of the group that the situation had, in fact, reached a dis aster stage. The group compiled neces sary information and submit ted a request to the State Disaster Committee, reom m ending that the county be declared a disaster area and become eligible to obtain cer tain considerations and privi leges afforded to areas in which disaster occurs. All farmers will be noti fied of provisions of the pro gram when approval is ob tained. The program will be of particular interest to live stock farmers in that they will be able to obtain feed supply. The request for approval must go through channels, a period of time will be involved but we know that the need will still exist. With the farmers feeding their first cutting of hay now, and in view of the damage to corn crops, cutting silage and grain supply considerably, the need for fall and winter feed supply will be great. Farmers can be assured that necessary steps arebeing taken to obtain whatever as sistance is available to help them stay in business. 4-H'ers Win Camp Honors Last week seventeen Chero kee County 4-H Club members spent a week at 4-H camp.

Larry Groves was also elected District 4-H Presi dent for 1964-65. 502 Farms Measured la Cherokee County By Bass Hyatt, Jr. Certain ASCS programs de mand that an accurate number of acres be determined on farms participating in these programs. Our tobacco program re quires that we measure fields to the nearest hundreth acre while to the nearest tenth acre is accurate enough for the Conservation Reserve and Feed Grain programs. This year we had a total of 502 farms for reporters to measure. All tobacco allotments and all other fields under one half acre were ground measured. With tobacco, the reporters took the actual measurements of the fields and brought them to the county ASCS office. They were computed here and a notice was sent back to the farmer explaining the amount in the fields. If the farmer had planted more than his allot ment, he had to pay the re porter to revisit his farm and adjust his acreage. Measurements by aerial photography were used on fields over one half acre. Here the reporter visited the farm and marked the outline of the fields included in the pro gram on the aerial photo - graph. This photograph was carried to the county ASCS office. Here a planimeter was moved around the edges of the fields and a reading of the number of acres in the fields was taken from the machine. The farmer was then noti fied of the determined acreage. Some farmers had quest ions about the measurements of their land. The ASCS of fice personnel discussed each case and tried to logically answer these questions. Most farmers were very un derstanding and cooperative. They appreciate the fact that there are tobacco and feed grain programs and they want to do their part in making them work. Cherokee Scout & Clay County Progress, Thurs., July 16, 1964 Next year up-to-date photo graphs will be available that are on a larger scale making field measurements even more accurate.
