PAGE TWQ THE NEWS-JOURNAL THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1954 i FARM ITEMS By W. C. Williford County Farm Agent D. H. Standi, Extension Cotton Marketing Speeialist, has just in formed me that all the cotton gins in Hoke County have had bonds posted for bonded sampl ers under the Smith-Doxey Class ing Service. These gins are the Duffie Cin Company, Dund.r rach Trading Company, Hoke Oil and Fertilizer Company, Oakd:ile Gin Company, daeford Gin Com pany, and Rockfish Gin Company. According to the records l;,st year, the Hok? County gins uitl a v ry good job of turning out' good bales cf cotton. Their gin equipment, however good it might be, rannot turn out sam ples better than the samples of cotton that you bung to them. Nematodes, dry weather, and other factors are causing for most of Hoke County's cotton to open pri maturely. This will make it more convenient for some people to cet it picked in good condition and less convenient for other.'!. RoSL'rdli ss of your situa tion, if the itinrtcis are going to turn nut t' c ?'d samples they did List yc.r. you will have to take it to them in good condition. A great riid ha.' been said and written about drying equipment in gins. The drying equipment is j no doubt being continually im proved. When you s'op to think that a gin rnns a bale through in 6 to 10 minutes, it is easy to see that they cannot remove much moisture. The drying equipment is just a huge pipe that forces heated air through the cotton. Some ginners, in an effort to get your cotton as dry as possible, may get the tcmpearture too high and actually damage the fibers. The mill men are using fiber quality as a factor in buying to a greater extent now than they have in previous years. If you take your cotton to the ginner dry and clean, he can give you a much better sample than he can otherwise. will come from a mixture of rye, tember. oats and barley. j Generally speaking, Hoke Generally speaking, rye grows County 4-H Clubs have had a very well on Hoke County soils, very active summer.

D. M. Glisson of the I litist Lumberti'U IJap'ist church is doing the p. aching. He is j bringing are.it messages and much interest and good attend j ar.ee are. shown. If you've not.ced on your ever green trees, such as Arborvitae and other coniferers trees, you probably found bagworms. They seem to be worse this year than I have ever noticed and will do your trees a great deal of dam age. These are brown scaly looking enconns that hang down from the twigs and limbs of your nar row leaf evergreens. If you will tei'.r one of these open, you will find a large blown worm about an inch long that crawls out and dois the damage and crawls back in it's nest. The best wav to eradicate this pest, if you car. get to them, is to pull them off and burn them. A good insecticide to use is 2-3 ounces of Arsenate of Lead to 3 gallons of water and wet them thoroughly. Toxaphcne has also been reported as effective, but I have never seen it used on bag worms. Whichever treatment you use should be repeated about every ten days until you see that the bagworms are under control. Phins are being made for all 4-H Club members, who complete their projects and turn in their record books by the 4-H Club meeting, to get a free trip to a neighboring county. Details of the trip are not complete as yet, but it will be on Saturday so it will not conflict with school. The If vour son or daughter is a -4 -1 1 Club member, you can do your part by helping them com plete their project and turn in their record book on time. All projects, with the exception of field crops sucn as corn, cotton, and tobacco, should be turned in to the County or Home Agent at the first club meeting. The field crops project should be complet ed, and the records turned in by October lath. The general feeling among the farmers I have talked to is that one of the best ways" to supple ment their feed situation is the early planting of winter cover first 4-H Club meeting will come crops.

This is a veiy important con ference and will be of exception al educational value to commun ity leaders. Community Farm Bu reaus, Home Demonstration clubs, Civic and Service clubs, Granges, and other groups should make a special effort tc have their group represented at the Health Con ference. Some of the leading authorities in this section of the country will be on hand to discuss the health problems. It will be a cre dit to Hoke County to be well represented.

Since youi are interested in in creasing your 'eed potentialities, the bulletin featured in the County Agent's office this week (' ft k p m m m m -It takes about 2 acres of farm crops to supply the 1375 pounds of food which the average American eats a year. To grow and get this food to your table requires money all along the line, and bank credit provides a substantial share of the funds. . Terhaps you haven't thought of it this way, but the money you deposit in the bank lielps to build a credit pool which, directly or indirectly, supplies loans to farmers, farm machinery manufacturers, seed and fertilizer dealers, distributors and food markets, as well as others. Whenever you deposit your money, or invest it, you are help ing yourself two ways: You arc providing for your own future and you are helping to provide the good things of life dhat make our American standard of living the highest in the world. We'll welcome you as a depositor, or as a borrower, if your plans call for sound use of credit. Whatever your financial requirements may be, come in hi us serve you.
