The Changing Farm Scene
There is nothing new about the
statement "The Changing Farm
Scene." This is something we
know is taking place all of the
time. We, however, need to keep
ourselves up to date on these
changes and govern ourselves ac-
cordingly.
The person who keeps himself
most up to date on these changes
and adapts himself to them is us-
ually most successful.
A recent study made"of the
1959 Agriculture Census revealed
that the actual number of farms
in the United States decreased
by a million between 1954 and
1959. Nearly three fourths of this
decrease was farms under 69 ac.
~'es.
The average farm family now
handles three hundred and two
acres of land. This is double what
it was 25 years ago.
The average investment per
farm runs $45,000 now and this is
six times what it was twenty
year~ ago.
Eighty percent off arm famil.
ies now own their farms.
The average farm buys five
and three tenths tons of fertili,
zer per year. This is thirty six
percent more than five years ago.
No doubt we are living in a
changing world. Whats more
changes are taking place at an
accelerating rate. Farmers who
survive must be business men,
with an average investment of
$45,000 an operator must farm
"to make money.
The Successful farmers must
produce efficiently a volume pro
duct[on at a low cost per unit.
The successful farmer will
keep ,abreast of these chang
and make changes in his operat-
ion accordingly.
One speaker at a dairy meet-
ing made the statement "He had
to run like the dickens to keep
even". One other speaker said "If
you go to sleep you had just as
well not wake up, because the
crowd will have moved so far a-
head you will be lost for good."
These statements may be a little
exaggerated, but they bring out
the point• We must accept ehan
ges and adapt ourselves to it.
Alfalfa WeeVil Control
Workers at West Virginia col.
lege of Agriculture after sumntar
[zing results of research work
done over the past three years
have come Up with the following
recommendations for control of
alfalfa weevil for those that wish
to spray.
Heptachlor or Dieldrein ap
plied as a spray after the last cut
[ing, between Octobr 1st at d Oct.
0her 15th at the rate of on0
pound Of actual material per ac.
re. Results irMicate this will pro-
vide satisfactory control of a-digit
alfalfa weevil.
,'To apply one pound of actual
ephiCl Ior acre iiad lu lr
ts of Heptachlor Emulsion con.
centrate. For Dieldrein apply five
and one third pinets of Dieldrein
emulsion concentrate pei acre.
Use sufficient water to cover
well, nO fewer than 25 gallons of
water per acre and preferable Up
to thirty or forty gallons.
Boom type sprayer is advisab.
le. Best coverage can be obtain.
ed by using a boom type sprayer.
It is doubtful if sufficient cover,
age can bo hdd hnd enough w ttr
applied by use of weed 'killer, fan
type spray nozzle.
This recommendation is in ad.
dition to One pre i0usly made in
regard to Heptachlor granules•
The cost of the granuler would
be in the neighborhood of $2.70I
chlor ay $2,13
.in $3.4 per acre{
