COURIER 1CEWS On Missco Farms Bangs Disease Control Up until recent years nearly every commercial beef producer in North Mississippi County was, sooner or later, run out of business by the Bangs disease. Finally a vaccine was developed that shows real indication of being THE control measure. The State Farm Bureau, Animal Industry Department and interested legislators combined forces a few years ago and through legislation made free vaccination possible. Dedication Set For New Soil Lab Marianna Branch Opens Formally. On June 10 MARIANNA Thousands of farm people who never saw a soiltesting laboratory in operation, will have that opportunity on June 10 when Laboratory will be formally dedicated.

Lippert S. Ellis, of the University of Arkansas College of Agriculture, has promised that the lab will be in full operation on that day. Visitors will be able to see firsthand what happens to a soil sample from the time it is brought in by the postman until the report is mailed to the county agent for delivery to the farmer. Insection of the laboratory will be only one of the features of Dedication Day at the Cotton Branch Experiment Station, near here. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture J.

Earl will come down from Washingeaon to deliver the principle address, and Governor Francis Cherry will make the dedication. The new building, located on the cotton station campus, has been completed, and it is expected that all equipment will be installed within the next few days. When it goes into operation, the laboratory will serve the soiltesting needs of the. farmers in 26 counties ofieastern Arkansas The remaining counties will continue to be served by the main laboratories at Fayetteville.

Future of Beef cows have increased to new record highs. In spite of crashing beef prices last year, a severe drouth and high feed prices, the total number of cows on January 1 was 1,300,000 head more than January 1953. Beef numbers have been on a steady increase since 1940.

Cutworms Cutworms are exceedingly thick in alfalfa and other legume crops. They may appear in some cotton fields, particularly near vetch and rye strips. They are easily controlled over since Toxaphene was invented. Apply at rates of one pound of pure toxaphene per acre with ground machinery, when spraying rows only. Use 2 to 2V, pounds pure toxaphene when covering all of ground.

Distressing: Time Farmers are going through a period of real uncertainty this week. The very cool weather and strong wind on Monday morning, May 3, made hundreds of thousands of acres of cotton in the Mississippi valley look very very sick. The cold wind seemed to do considerably more harm than the light frost on that same Monday night. Some hope was expressed for the cotton survival but I can't find any old time farmers that would say for sure that the county's crop would be aU right. there is a resonable supply of seed left in the country in 'base some replanting is necessary.

Army Worms Army worms, as well as some cut worms, appear general now in most all fields of small grains. Don't expect toxaphene to give as quick a kill on army worms. evaluating results. Two pounds of pure or technical toxaphene per acre is minimum dose for army worms. Personally I would use nearer three pounds pure toxaphene if I had a heavy population of army worms in small grains.

been completed, but the day's activities will include a tour of the experimental farm to allow visitors to see latest research in livestock and field and horticultural crops. The morning will probably be devoted to the farm tour, with the speaking program scheduled early afternoon. Provisions will be made for visitors to buy lunch at the farm. Mr. Doane is the founder and long time head of the Doane Agricultural Service of St.

Louis, an organization that manages and engages in a wide variety of other activities associated with agriculture. He has served as chairman of the board of directors since 1943. Mr. Doane is a pioneer In the field of farm management. Before he conceived the idea that farm management could be conducted as a scientific business, very little progress had been made in this direction.

Now his company's business extends throughout the United States. In addition to the main office in St. Louis, several branch offices are located in other cities. A native of New York state, Mr. Doane has spent most of his life in the midwest.

He is a graduatepf the University of Missouri, where he served on the College Agriculture Staff for a number of years. He also did field work for a St. Louis bank before establishing the Doane Agricultural Service in 1923. He has been called upon by the government on several occasions to serve as special consultant. COLUMBIA, and dis- eaese control are two subjects discussed in a new publication, ''Grow Your Vegetables," just recently released by the College of Agriculture at the University of Missouri.

Clyde Cunningham and Victor Lambeth, horticulturists at the University and authors of the circular, say insects must be controlled in vegetable production. The two men suggest a weekly dusting or spraying program for insect control. A combination of methoxy- chlor and lindane will kill most insects. However, after edible portions of vegetables are formed they suggest a rotenone dust as a control. On the subject of disease the standpoint of preventaon than cure.

There arr a number of soil borne diseases that connot be controlled by spraying. Listed in the bulletin are three principals involved in disease control. They are: only disea- ase-free plants; disease- resistant varieties; and, proper spray programs. Other subjects discussed in the bulletin are garden size and location fertilization, fall plowing, planting plans, one and two-area garden plans, cultivation, mulching, irrigation and succession plantings. Copies of the circular may be obtained at county extension offices or by writing to the Mailing room, 21 Mumford Hall, Columbia.
