Page IB—MIRROR-HERALD—Thursday, April Good Start Is The Key To Success All of the technology modern agriculture can muster can’t help a crop unless the farmer can first get it throu{^ the ground and get a stand established. This is where the im portance of good seedbed preparation and the use of top quality seed comes in, according to Henry Dameron, County agricultural extension chairman. “A good start is a big part of the total production picture,” the extension chairman added. “No matter how many things we do to the crop and no matter what kind of growing season we have, nothing will make any difference unless we get a plant up and off to a good start.” To help assure this, Dameron suggest selecting good seed, preparing the land properly and plimting at the most favorable time. He cautioned against over-doing it, however, especially in land preparation. He cited the waste of fuel, time and money in going over and over a piece of land too many times. The soil only needs to be loosened enough for good seed coverage and smooth enough not to bounce the seed out of the seed plate. TTie last point is par ticularly important with planters that have inclined {dates. Planting factors that should be watched carefully include speed of operation, using the correct size seed plate for the seed you’re planting and planting at the right depth. Other important con siderations are soil moisture and temperature. Seed are slow to germinate in dry soil or in soil that is too cold. Remember that soil doesn’t warm up as fast as the air over it. As important as all the other factors is the selection of high quality seed. Dameron says that certified seed are the fanner’s best insurance against {^r stands, im pure varieties and other problems that often ac company uncertiried, poor quality seed. ‘69 Class Ranning Reunion The Bessemer City High School Class of 1969 is planning a 10th year reunion.
