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? For instance, 1
the word "sail” originated and ]
had j its use in the days when <
all ressels were propelled pert- I
ly *r entirely by sails. The i
wori “sail” in this era was ac- i
curate and to the point But 1
today you may take passage on I ]

Nhmatodes In Tobacco: Do
you have nematodes In your to-1
bacw this year? How can you
dettrmine whether you have (
and if so, how much? 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. 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.
Gilts should be eight months
