Milam sweet potato growers met to discuss production for one year with two proven free crops and strict inspection. A second plan proposed free planting with inspection and a one mile quarantine zone around infested crops. A third plan aimed at free planting plus an education program for farmers on application methods.
Milam farmers plan cantaloupe tomato and watermelon plantings within 30 days. County Agent J D Moore reports favorable conditions for gardens and truck crops and for cattle. He notes adequate soil moisture and that late stalk plowing delays decomposition. He recommends 100 pounds ammonium sulphate per acre to boost grazing oats.
Research cited using a 2 percent Diel drin dust at 20 pounds per acre when vines run and again as ground cracks to control potato weevils. Growers agreed that the third plan is more practical since no one would be denied the privilege of planting potatoes. Some county farmers rely on sweet potatoes as a cash crop.
