County Agent's By Henry R. Shoemaker County Agricultural Agent Plant Trees
Frederick County seeks to expand reforestation with the largest seedling allotment yet from the Department of Forests and Parks. Joe Mechem collects spring orders from Winchester Hall, MO 24171, on a first come, first served basis. The county’s forest program, guided by the County Forestry Conservancy Board, targets 7,000 eroded acres for tree planting, urging early orders as spring arrives. Alfalfa Weevil Control notes withdrawals of delderin and lindane and endorses malathion methoxychlor for pests, stressing careful timing due to food and drug authority positions. A revised fact sheet on Chemical Weed Control in Forage Crops is now available free at the County Agent's Office, alongside the 1961 Farmers Tax Guide. Upcoming meetings are listed with dates, locations, and times across February in Frederick County events.
