Tennessee Cotton Picking and Inoculation News
Hot sun in parts of Tennessee signals cotton harvest under way. UT Extension urges plain sacks and covered beds to keep lint clean and reduce waste. Harvest should wait for dry cotton from open bolls and disease free plants. Inoculation tips warn against exposing seed to sun. Community market data show July prices dipping with CRBs, milk, soybeans, and potatoes exceptions. Federal inspectors report extensive pest interceptions at borders and ports last year.

Push-Button Farm May Be Reality In Coming Years
Aurora based study foresees push button agriculture becoming standard as mechanization expands. Walter Mitchul of a power tool company notes farm workers already command many mechanized aids and predicts widespread automation ahead of other industries. He cites milking, hay handling, planting, cultivating, harvesting and storage moving through modern systems without direct farmer action. Mitchul highlights the need for planning and workshop power centers to keep machinery in top operating order.

Grass Fires Hurt Soil Water Level for Area Farmers
Blacksburg Va. U.S. Department of Agriculture and VPI researchers report that deep tillage and burning native pastures harm soil water absorption. Tests across soil types show burned soil absorbs water far more slowly than unburned or unburned pastures, reducing moisture storage and potential wheat yields.

Cotton Growers Lick Weed Problem With Effort and Cost
California cotton farmers face high weed control costs averaging about twenty dollars per acre per season with total weed management including fencing and drainage expenses. A department survey of 1,400 growers across seven counties finds weed control can be costly and only partly effective, with four to six percent of the crop still lost to weeds. The study notes that proper planting and cultivation, plus new herbicides like dalapon, may improve control of Johnson grass and Bermuda grass, while seeds can spread via irrigation and field trash. A separate Fort Pierce incident reports Shirley Moore and Jennington Fox becoming stranded on a sandbar after a boat ride on the St Lucie River and being rescued.

Farm Income Boost Seen From Morse Report
Acting Secretary Morse predicted the first annual increase in farm income since 1959 with higher prices and payments under soil bank and wool programs. The report cites farm price rises in the latter half of 1956, smaller crop production, and stronger exports as key factors fueling an expected income boost of about 0 million dollars. Receipts from livestock, meat, and crops show modest gains, with milk and marketings lifting overall cash income despite a softer cattle market.

Poultry Feather by products feed studied at VPI
BLACKSBURG Va Ceriitn poultry by products can be used in chick growing rations as animal protein sources. Hydrolyzed feather meal should not exceed 60 percent of the ration and not replace all fish content. Other by products like flood meat and Erease also show good caloric value and desirable consistency for poultry feeds.
