FARMER AT THE BAT
Crop production this year will equal
the near-record IMS output, according
to August forecasts by government
agencies. Acreage harvested
may be the greatest yet except for
the years 1929-32. Drought in the
East and South, threatened to reduce
yields somewhat, but were broken ip
time to make a bountiful crop possible.
The 1944 wheat crop is estimated
at a record-smashing 1.13 billion
bushels—the wheat loan rate was
raised to 90 percent of parity. Nearly
S billion bushels of corn is forecast,
fifth largest crop in the nation's history,
together with near-record production
of other grains and hay.
A tobacco crop of 1,616,498,000
pounds, all types combined, is now
indicated in this month's forecast.
This is about 9 percent more than
was indicated on July 1, and 15 percent
above last year's crop.
Deciduous fruit production is expected
to be almost a fifth higher
"than in 1943 while vegetable output
is up 10 percent.
In contrast, the 1944 cotton acreage
is the smallest since 1895 which,
together with increased cotton ceiling
prices under the Stabilization Extension
Act, are chief reasons for
the 10-market average price of cotton
pushing above 22 cents for the
first time since 1928. That Act also
increases cotton loans to 9% percent
of parity.
The new stabilization law directs
the President to use all lawful means
to support farm prices of many commodities
at full parity or at the highest
price received during the first
nine months of 1942 adjusted for
gross inequities and for seasonal
variation.
This is the crop situation as viewed
by the American farmer, who instead
of beating his plowshare into a
sword for the destruction of his fellowman,
is using it to provide sustenance
for the world, to make the United
States of America into a veritable
bread basket and comfort station as
well as an arsenal plant for the Allied
nations and those being liberated
from the heel of the German tyrant
This, the third summer since the
United States altered World War II,
found the power of the farmer's old
adversaries, drought, deluges, the
elementary furies of wind and .hail,
and disease in his stock augmented
by a very limited supply of labor,
with experienced and skilled labor
scarce indeed.
This shortage in manpower called
for all of the resourcefulness which
be could summon*. The modern
fanner found dazing the depression
years that his frontiers were not confined
-to the territorial bounds of his
plantation:
Confronted with this additional
problem, he called in his neighbors
aad bargained for an exchange of
sendee and so Affsef the labor shortage
to a considerable extent by better
utilization of hie own labor, by
purchasing tractor or hiring tractor
service and by More efficient production
practices.
The prolonged drought in this section
gave cause for grave concern
and discouragement, but the majority
of the farmers kept the faith and
confidence expressed by Whittier:
"And I will frost that He who heeds
The life that hides in mead and
r wow,
Who hangs yon alder's crimson
baacl«
And stains these m»mw green and
Thinning and selective cutting of
woodlands can provide farmers with
extra cash incomes, spread labor requirements
on the farm, and improve
future timber crops, says Extension
Farm Forester Donald Traytatfiof
the State College Extension Service.
"Growers can profitably follow a
program carried out by Brady Sogers
of Wadesboro, Rinte 1, who cut 11,600
board feet of saw logs and 100.
cords of pulpwood, with the help of
two neighbors, from his 12-acre
ioblolly pine woodland'," notes Traylor.
.
"The trees to be cut were selected
and marked. At the end of the
operation an average stand of 260
straight, clear-bodied, thrifty growing
trees, 8 inches in diameter and
50 feet high, was left for future
cuts," he added. "Each marked tree
was cut into the highest valued product
possible. A large number of logs
were cut from butt cuts of trees,
while the remainder of the tree was
cut into pulpwood and fuelwood."
The logging, sawing, and hauling
of the sawlogs 'was contracted for
at |1S per thousand board feet. Rogers
reserved 3,600 board feet of lumber
to build a garage and got ten
cords of slab material for fuel wood.
The cutting operation on the IS
acres was completed, in 19 days.
After paying himself and his neighbors
|3.60 a day, Rogers' net return
from the lumber and pulpwood was
$38.24 per acre. The pulpwood was
sold in the woods, unracked, for
$4.88 per cord.
Tips On Planting
Winter Legumes
Winter legumes should to planted
after such crops u tobacco, truck, soybeans,
or oowpea and lespedeza hays,
says Enos Blair, Extension agronomist
at N. C. State College. He suggests
that the soil be disced to a depth of 4
inches, rather than plowed, and that
the crops be drilled rather than broadcast.
Drilling distributes the seed more
evenly, saves seed, and often gives a
good stand In dry weather where other
methods of seeding, fail. Blair recommends
that crimson clover be drilled
about 1-3 Inch deep as with lespedeza.
Vetch and Austrian winter peas can
be covered about 1 1-2 to 3 inches deep
as with small grain.
"It Is Impossible to prepare a seed
bed and plant winter legumes or time
after such late maturing crops as corn,
cotton, and peanuts," says Blair. "We
can, however, resort to planting between
the rows of the standing crop.
"In the mountains a very successful
practice Is to broadcast the seed between
corn rows at laying-by time.
Vetch and Austrian whiter peas are
broadcast before the cultivator and
crimson clover behind it, that It will
not to covered too deep. Laying-by
ttm» in the Piedmont and Coastal
Plain Is too early for these seed to be
sown but this method can be followed
about September l.
"Crimson clover should be covered
with a very light harrow instead of a
cultivator. In ridged crops the seeds
may to broadcast and followed with t
middle burster or 'cotton pl<ar.'-Th»
has the effect of planting two raws of
seed on each eotton or corn rldg*.
"A still better way Is to use a onehorse
open furrow drill, that plants
three rows in each middle. This Implement,
however, coven the seed too
deep to be used for crimson clover. A
com planter can be used In planting
a row of vetch or pass In each middle
of peanuts."
