Third Soybean District Includes Cherokee Co. By Jim M. Stewart County Extension Chairman Farmers have for several Tears heard about the 100 NlW Own dub, now there U ? ?taller dub for the soybean growers called the 80 Bushel Club. The stale has been divid ed Into three competitive dis tricts with the 3rd District , being the area west of Durham and Raleigh. With a couple of agricultural workers an acre of soybeans were measured and checked for yield on the Wood Farm 'in Andrews, operated by Sam Ward and Joe Maxwell. Garnle Nox Praises Use Of Nitrogen It's dry in Cherokee county, but the grass still grows I Yes, It grows on the Garnle Nix farm In the Bates Creek com munity. "Today I got the great est amount of milk Ihaveever gotten," says Nix. How did he do it? Several weeks ago Nix topdressed his pastures with nitrogen and held the cattle off of a six acre section. This week he turned his cattle on this to give the other pasture a rest. The results were the highest milk production yet. Nix, a Unit Test Demon stration farmer, on some of his grass pasture used 600 pounds of 30-10-0 plus 100 pounds of 0-0-60 on potash. Nix stated, "These are the best pastures I have ever had." To help cull his cows in the future be is the first dairy man to be on the 1MB system with Weigh-A-Day-A-Month. Here a record of production can be maintained for each cow in the herd.

Local Firm# Support Farming Demonstrations Two all -practice demon strations in Cherokee County were given good support by agricultural firms. These were corn demonstrations on the W. D. Towns on and Will Moore farms of tbePeachtree Community. Corn in one acre plots on these farms was grown with the recommended rates of nitrogen, phosphorous and potash. This was supplied by the Allied Chemical Company, Farmers Mutual Exchange of Blairsville and the Virginia Chemical Company. To con trol the weeds and grass, atra sine was supplied by Wayne's Feed Mill of Murphy. In both demonstrations, the goal was to lncreaae the corn production above that of the normal yields. These demon strations were two of better than 30 different demonstra tions on fertilisation, varie ties and management. Demon strations also include those on tobacco, corn, tomatoes, and pastures. G.

Vlck, Chairman Clay County Extension It la good to see day County dairymen production record ccnadow. Jack Gro ves placed his herd on DMA tea dug joining Max WaMretgi and Jack Sellers. Hansen Chambers plans to join this gro?f> next month. Three dairymeni W. J. Cabe, James Price, and Jerry Anderson want on WADAM program. These men will be joined by others next month. Basic Information on pro duction and feeding of dairy cows will be recorded by the farmers and the IBM machine will do all the figuring as to cost and returns. Information relative to breeding, dry dates, freshening dates, ill ness, and other pertinent in formation needed to carry on a good business will be re corded also, ???? Now is the time for all farmers to think in terms of planting trees ? both Christ mas and plantations. The ASC office has informed us that there will be money available to quite a number of farmers to help in the expense of seedlings and plantings pro vided orders are placed and the seedlings received and planted by January L. David Sprull, Extension Animal Husbandry, will be with us on November 6, to work with swine producers. Any farmer who is Interested in discussing his problems with Mr. Spruil should let us know right sway so we can visit his farm. *?? The first loan for re creational development on a farm in Clay County has been approved by FHA. Mr. Jim Armstrong of the Meyers Chapel Community will con struct cabins on his property for rental to fishermen, va cationers, and water en thusiasts. The loans are available to any person who receives a majority of hla income from agriculture. With the large number of tourists who are finding Clay County an en joyable place to spend a va cation makes this a golden op portunity for increasing family Income. Believe it or not, Harold McCray of Fires Creek Com munity is Just now winding 19 his tomato project. We will have the final figures on this project shortly. When you stop to consider that our tomato crops come in earlier and stay three weeks longer than those in the higher mountains, we haveadistince advantage in the tomato business. Many more farmers should be con sidering this as a source of Income in .their 1964 plans. ???? George Bowers and his bur ley tobacco grading team oKght to be congratulated for winning fifth place in the State Tobacco Grading Con test. Members participating were: Allen and BUI Martin, sons of Mr. George Martin and Lowel and Phillip Martinsons of Mr. and Mrs. Garland Martin. BOX ELDER BUG A MURPHY PEST During the past month there have been several requests st the County Agents' office for information on an Insect which Is prevalenr in the Murphy area. This is the Box Elder beetle, an insect that is black with a red outline around the wings and main part of the body of the insect. It Is about one-half inch long and can usually be found In large numbers around the foundation of houses and trunks of trees. The Insect does not seem to do damage to trees, houses, etc., but is more of a pest since it enters homes. The insect may be control led by using Lindane spray ed at the rate of one pint of 20% Lindane in 2 1/2 gallons of water. This material should be sprayed only around tree trunks and foundations where the insects are evident. Now's The Tine To Grade Tobacco By Ronnie Atkinson, Ass't. Agricultural Extension Agent Tobacco grading time 1 a here once again. Each farm er should do a very good job of grading tobacco in order that he might receive the top dollar for the crop. Farmers each year lose several thous and dollars by not grading tobacco properly. Here are a few tips that might be helpful In grading tobacco. The first thing you should do is to let the leaf and stem completely cure out before you start grading. If graded while wet or damp this will cause the tobacco to be grad ed W (unsafe order) or U (unsound) and usually bring about half as much as sound tobacco of the same grade. When taking down to grade, tobacco must contain enough moisture to handle without crumbling but not be wet e nough to cause heating and damage to it after it is grad ed and packed in the basket. Practically all crops of barley are different. Some crops will have four grades, while others will have five to eight grades. Use as few grades as possible but be sure and not mix separate groups, qualities and colors. Do not mix leaves of dif ferent groups In order to save an extra grade. If you have quite a bit of green or damaged tobacco it will pay you to make extra grades to separate this tobacco from your best. Mixing of this type of tobacco with pood tobacco Ag Work Shop Open To Public ANDREWS -The Vocational Agriculture Shop will be open for public use, starting on Monday, Nov. 4, from 7 to 10 p.m. and continue on Monday evenings following the same hours. Farmers are urged to take advantage of the open shop and use the equipment for their repair work at their con venience. Joe Morrow, Vocational Agricultural teacher, will be on hand to assist. will generally lower die price. Keep foreign matter such u feather*, straw, etc., out of tobacco. All grade* should be tied in a neat, uniform hand about the siae of ? silver dollar. Pack the tobacco on the basket in a neat maimer so that it is attractive to the buyer. Baskets weighing 200 900 pounds are ideal for hand ling and attractiveness. Flue curod tobacco prices have indicated that burlcy prices might be low this year. The farmer who does a good job of grading and handling will be the one who gets the top dollar for his crop this year. For fur ther information on gradlqg, handling and sorting tobacco, contact die cotaity agents' office. Cherokee County ASCS News By L, L. Kisselburg The county committee and office manager attended the area meeting in AahevUlaOcu 16 and 1A. The aifcjecta dis cussed was (he A CP program for 1864. Thla meeting was somewhat different from pre vious meetings since the county committee has the op portunity of expressing their provcments in programs ad mlnlatered by ASCS at the county level that are needed. This waa the first time for Mr. Lance and Mr. Cook to attend an area meeting and they have stated that they learned a lot about the pro gram that they had no idea about before attending this meeting. Clay ASCS News By June C. Waldroup The 1963 A CP allocation to help Clay County farmers carry out conservation prac tices is *27,03240 of this amount >26,586.59 has been allocated to 683 farms. Our percent of farmers par ticipating in the program is b'jlow last year. There is still a limited amount of funds for approvals. Let's increase our participating with remaining funds. It has been a good time to spread lime. Farmers are going to have a difficult time blaming the weather for un used materials this year. Re ports are coming in good and we are sure all farmers will finish their practices and re port by the end of this year. This would be a record. ???? Payments for one group of farmers taking part In the 1964 feed grain program will be more than last year. These are the farmers who feel they must grow some corn (usually an acre) for their livestock. As long as they sign to divert as much as 40? of their base they will receive the higb pay ment rate on all diverted. In 1903 unless die entire base was diverted, payment was computed at a low and high rate. The largest number of acres on which payment can be made for diversion is 60 percent of the feed grain base, or 36 acres if this Is more than 50% of the base. However , payment will not be made on more acres than are in the base. The signup for the 1964 pro ?ram will be held early in 964. All feed grain farmers will be advised of the signup dates and the provtsloos of the program in the near future. ???? Now is the time to take steps to control alfalfa weevils. See your county agent for recom mendations on treatment. If steps are not taken to control the weevil, alfalfa crop is in jeopardy. At die last county uauudt tee meeting the c*xx*y com mittee Agreed to improve second requests for lln and forest tree plantiqg and also the application at fartillaer on old grasses to farmer*, since ?feel that all fanners haw plenty of time to request assistance and funds remain ing In the county office will be approved on the first come, first served basis. With the dry weather we are now haviqg, It is an ideal time for llmiig the land that you plan to sow in the sprins of 1M4. The seedLjg date for establishing a stand of grasses or iqgwoea expir ed October U and the only seed that will be approved on a request is rye and the ap proval for rhis practice win expire November 10. ?m The senate passed s bill to permit extension through IM6 of present conservation re serve contracts negotisted to try to cut down on excess farm production. The measure also would add 910 million to the 1963 crop land conversion progrsm set up to try to divert land from production of surplus crops to grazing or other usee. The bill, pessed by voice vote, was sent to the House.
