County agent J D Moore reports grazers face forage shortages from drought and urges fall fertilization of perennial pastures. Ex tension specialist A C Novosad outlines soil moisture needs and a 80-60-0 teovdliine mix, sowing 60 lb oats and 15 lb ryegrass, plus armyworm control as oats establish.
ASCS urges farmers facing bad weather to harvest cotton rather than abandon fields to avoid potential penalties or yield adjustments. The agency notes uncertainty about 1971 program procedures but promises fair treatment for those who harvest in 1970, while maximizing supply for domestic and export markets.
Larry Spiegelhauver of the Little River San Gabriel District uses a two year out of three grain sorghum rotation and high residue tillage. He shreds maize stalks after harvest and returns 4 5 thousand pounds of residue per acre, boosting soil moisture and infiltration while reducing runoff from Sept 1 to Dec 31. He adds 40 pounds of nitrogen per acre when needed to prevent deficiency.
Cotton stalk shredding and plowing under after harvest lowers boll weevil diapause risk and reduces pink bollworm in the next growing season. Extension entomologist John G. Thomas urges timely destruction, notes regional importance in Texas and nearby areas, and recommends insecticide use with desiccants or defoliants when harvest is planned.
The Bryan Yard firm and its officers were ordered to cease acting without an acceptable bond under the Packers and Stockyards Act. The company obtained bond coverage and now complies, with the order serving to insure future adherence.
