New Madrid Farm Notes At County Cotton Conference
Farmers attending the county Cotton Conference summarized by the Fields Crops Committee noted a highly successful event. Joe Falloon reviewed lime needs for maximum cotton yields, citing 5.5 soil acidity and county survey results with 69 percent in bad and 13 percent in poor positions. William Murphy discussed a seed treatment to boost stands as weather insurance, while James Fagsdale warned that harvest moisture requires delaying mechanical pickers to protect quality, risking 15 to 30 dollars per bale. Perry Aakison and George Thomas covered insect control, and Thomas described the county scouting program. Herman Hall urged timely water application and outlined furrow irrigation and sprinkler systems for cotton preservation.
