Silver, Madiwm County Farm Agent, the farmers of Madison County will S-row between 9,000 and 11,000 acres r corn in 1955. Pf this crop were to -yieW 45 bushels per acre it would We a market value of $600,000 to 745,000. If all these acres were properly grown and topdressed with 100 pounds of nitrogen when the com is about 2 feet tall, the yield ould easily be stepped up to around am 80-bushel average if we have a 3ood season. This nitrogen could be purchased as nitrate of sixla, about W00 lbs. per acre; ammonium ni trate at 300 pounds per acre or oth er sources. If the ammonium ni trate were used we would expect to pay from $12.00 to $15.00, or if ni trate of soda were used, about $1.00. fbr this expense per acre the av vrajre farmer could exptct about 50 fcushels of extra corn per acre more than if no topdressing were applied. Mr. Farmer, if you need corn take out about $12.00 worth of insurance jgood for around $75.00 worth of corn this fall. P. S. You don't have to die to collect this insurance. Smoltey Says: , Squarely uptd) t VWat:' mi p ih SOUTHERN - PIN& BETUfc i , , if 'I IMS . . !' -f ) SOUTHERN PINE BEETLE KILLED THESE TREES'- The beetle, Dendroctonus Frontalis, punctures the bark, lays eggs fa the living tissue beneath. The eggs hatch into larvae, which eat the cambium, thus killing the tree. Consult your Forester when bugs attacic your trees. DYING PINES WHAT IT IS Those fading yellow to red-colored natohes of nines you saw last fall are now dead but the insect that kill ed them is still living. According to Oountv Agent, Harry G. Silver, they have taken up residence in fresh ive trees. Farmers and other land owners who have patches of dead pines sihould examine live trees beside the dead ones to see if these are also infested by the Southern Pine Bebtle. The only external evidences of attack on green trees are brownish pitch tubes on the outer surface of bark scales and brown boring dust in bark crevices and around the base of the tree. If these symptoms are pre- to sent, neel off some of the bark examine the inside. If beetles are present, there will be winding S shaped galleries in the inner bark. The infested trees should be cut and removed promptly. Trees of sawlog size should have the slabs burned immediately. If the trees are sold J'or pulpwood, the pulp mill should be notified that the load is infested so the wood will be processed imme diately. Tops and slash should be carefully examined for presence of beetles, and if they are present they should be piled and burned, if feas ible, or sprayed with an insecticide. Where it is not practical to salvage the infested trees they should be cut and sprayed with BiH.C. in No., 2 fuel oil or kerosene.

We miss you, Betty, and we want you to hurry and got well, so you can come back to werk. Gould someone tell me the joke on Louise going to Florida. How about it, Lillian?
