Plant Peanuts Before planting
Cotton: Planting peanuts before
planting cotton is a silly state
ment, isn’t it? But, after all, it
may not be so silly because what
I am trying to do is encourage
cotton growers to plant cotton a
little later when the soil has
warmed up and plant peanuts
earlier to give a full growing
season.
There are three fungus diseases
at the surface of the soil which
attack the stems of young cot
ton plants when they come
through the ground if cool, damp
weather conditions are present.
"These diseases damage young
cotton plants stunting their
growth and often times kill so
many that the crop has to be
planted over. Therefore, we
think it is safer to plant cotton
about the last week in April or
the first week in May to be
safe.
In planting NC-2 peanuts, re
member that it takes approxi
mately 160 days from the day of
planting to the date peanuts are
matured and ready to dig. With
this in mind, peanuts planted
May 1 will be ready to dig
about October 10. This time will
vary slightly with weather con
ditions. By planting your pea
nuts the week of April 23
through May 4 you should get
the best growing season and the
highest yield. Generally, research
results show that the yield is
reduced 100 pounds per acre for
each week peanuts are planted
later than May 1; in other words,
peanuts planted May 15 will
yield about 200 pounds per acre
less than peanuts planted on the
same land cn May 1 and those
planted on May 29 will yield
about 400'pounds per acre less.
Let’s plant early this year and
aim at the highest yields possi
ble on our soils.
Rye, and other cover crops,
cornstalks and other litter should
be turned under deeply now in
order to be ready to plant pea
nuts on May 1. If there is any
indication that nematodes aiw
present the soil should be fumi
gated properly to control the

Nematode Control In Gardens:
Nematodes are causing consid
erable damage to the roots of
vegetables in many home gar
dens. The best control we know
of is proper soil fumigation. My
garden is infested with nema
todes and I have to fumigate
my soil each year.
There are several soil fumi
gants which may be used but,
generally, gardeners will use Te
lon, DD ci a nemagon material.
Telon and DD have to be applied
in the soil at least two weeks
before planting. I applied my
soil fumigant about two weeks
ago.
Perhaps the easiest method of
applying soil fumigants;. is to
plow a furrow as deeply as pos
sible every twelve inches after
the soil has been thoroughly
broken. Apply the fumigant in
the bottom of the furrow and
cover well immediately. In row
treatment only the fumigant
should be applied as deeply as
possible in the center of the row
and the row made up immediate
ly. Telon and DD should be
applied at the rate of one pint
per 300 feet of furrow or row.
Fumizon 44-E will mix with wa
ter, so mix 1 quart of 44-E with
three quarts of water and apply
1 pint to each 300 feet as above.
Nematode Control on Shrubs:,
Many home plantings of shrubs
are being damaged by nema
todes feeding on the roots. These
can be controlled by soil fumi
gation, but nemagon is the only
material we know of at present
which is safe to use on growing
plants.
To one gallon of water mix
two teaspoonsful of nemagon
50% Ec or FUmizon 70-B and
apply to one yard square of bed
space. If Fumizem-44-E-.is„used,
mix 4 teaspoonsful par gallon
of water.
Method of application consists
of using a sharp pointed stick,
maybe one-half inch in diameter,
and punch holes four to six inch
es deep every ten to twelve inch
es over the bed area. Using a
sprinkling can, sprinkle one gal
lon of the above mixture to each

yard square, then water down
good with a garden hose. One
application now should be suf
ficient for this year.
Summer Grazing And Forage
Crops: Continued grazing on
cool season plants such as la
dino clover and some others
usually results in decreased ani
mal production and loss of plant
stands. Therefore, it is best to
use hot weather crops to sup
plement the needed'grazing. This
may be accomplished by sowing
between April 15 and July 1
star, gahi, or common pearl mil
let, sudan grass varieties like
Sudax, Tift or Sweet. The soil
should be fertilized with 300 to
500 pounds per acre of 8-8-8 fer
tilizer and top dressed each JO
to 40 days with 30 to 60 pounds
of actual nitrogen after the
plants are 6 inches high and
after the first grazing. Any of |
these crops should be down at |
the rate of 8 to 10 pounds per
acre in rows or 30 pt>unds broad-'
cast. j
A good summer grazing crop
for hogs is sovbeans. These may
be planted in rows at Vz to 1 1
bushel per acre or broadcast at j
the rate of two bushels per acre.
Before planting, 300 to 400
pounds of 0-10-20 fertilizer,
should be broadcast per acre.
The earlier any of these crops
are sown, of course, the earlier
they will afford grazing.
