SECTION TWO The Roundup By WILBORNE HARRELL Til®ITS I smoke a certain brand of small cigar, and have the! habt| of cutting them in twd making two short smokes. Recently, when cutting my cig-| ars. 1 I have found on two oc-< caspns, two short lengths of string. Someone must have beet in a hurry and failed to. rerrwve the strings with which 1 ' the tobacco was tied. I'm be-' ginning to think the brand name ( of cigar should be changed' to tl Rojio . . . Evet stop to thinjt how words cling tenaci-i ouslf in our language, even af-| ter they have become out-of-|i date or replaced by modern and] 1 new expressions?

In a training school last Tuesday,; CoUJty Agricultural Agents wee taught how to make nema todt surveys, how to determine ( the level of infestation, and how to plan tobacco nematode I cortrol so as to reduce the ne-! cesiity for soil fumigation. According to research infor-j •mation given by the tobacco ( spetialist, soil fumigants are toxic to tobacco plants and re sult ip at.jjeast. 4>ian« injury. ■ Promiscuous soil fumigation whtre it is not needed costs the grower an estimated SIOO per acre. Therefore, soil fluni gatbn should not be used un-! less it is known to be needed. H>w can you tell whether, you have nematodes in your' tobacco this year? This may be determined by a systematic sur vey. Take every tenth row.] Pull up every twentieth plant' and-carefully examine the roots.' Rectud the infestation found on eack plant by determining wheiher it is none, slight, mod-, crate, or severe. Then tally up and figure the nematode index for : the field. -We have bulletins with cotn- Plsfe information in them for making a field survey. These are available at our office. The stalks should be cut and roots plowed up to the sun immediately after harvest. As-t ter roots have a few days good, sunihine. disc the field to turn, up more roots. Let these sun a few days, then seed a small* grain cover crop on the land.

Get my point? i I wonder if these fellows who| 'can't stand the heat unless they l 'are in an air conditioned build-, ing, remember the days when| all we had was a palm leaf fan. Time was when Saturday and Saturday night was the week’s high point in the old town’s < business and social affairs. Peo- j pie from the outlying farms all i came to town .on Saturday in horse-drawn carts or buggies, j and these would be parked in: ; any readily accessible place. I have seen carts and buggies: 1 parked on Main Street, the!] horses unhitched and unhar- 1 ] nessed quietly munching hay or' oats. Produce from the farms you did not release it or if you did not report cotton failure to the field supervisor who check ed your acreage, you may lose some of your allotment. To avoid losing allotment, you should sign an application at the ASC Office by September 15 in order to reain it. Handy West informs me that there are about fifty growers in this situation. 1 If these growers are interested i in retaining their cotton allot-' menu, they need to comply by signing applications. N««d Two Extra Pigs Par Lit-, tar? Many farmers think that! .gills-, just aren't supposed to farrow as many pigs as a sow.. Actually, the reason is that | most farmers breed gilts when! they are 100 small. In research in Wisconsin, gilts bred on i their third or later heat pe riod farrowed an average of 2.5, more pigs per litter than gilts] bred their first heat period.
