FARMERS & CONSUMERS Tommy /rv/n, Comm/ss/oner Georgia Department of Agriculture Market Bulletin Vol. 69, No. 26 Wednesday, June 29, 1983 OlUlH Plant Analysis Vital Farm Tool Modern day agriculture requires high yields and top quality crops produced at a profitable economical level. In order to attain maximum yields, several factors must be con- sidered such as proper plant population, adapted variety, disease, insect, and soil fertility, etc. One of the more important factors affecting plant growth and crop yields is the nu- trient status of the plant during the growing season. The nutrient status of plants cannot be assessed visually, except in cases where the nutrient (Our guest columnist this week is Dr. Owen Plank, Director of the Soil Testing and Plant Analysis Laboratory, Athens 30602.) supply is so low or out of balance that visual deficiency symptoms appear on the plant. If nutrient levels are allowed to become so low that deficiencies show up on the plant, yields are reduced considerably. In order to prevent nutrient levels from becoming limiting, more and more Georgia farmers are relying upon plant analysis to determine if each plant nutrient is present in quantities required for optimum crop production. Plant analysis can be used by the producer in a number of ways. It can be used to: (1) verify suspected nutrient deficiency symptoms, (2) reveal low nutrient levels, i.e., plant shows no visual symptoms but nutrient level is low enough to reduce yield, (3] monitor the nutrient status of crops such as corn during the growing season, (4) serve as a guide for fertilizing orchard crops, i.e., pecans, apples, peaches, and (5) aid in evaluating the efficiency of applied fertilizers. Plant analysis is a process whereby tissue samples are collected from crops at specified times during the growing season and analyzed in the (Continued on Page 16) JulyJO Opening Date Set For Tobacco Sales The opening date for tobacco markets in Georgia has been set for Wednesday, July 20, by Commissioner of Agriculture, Tommy Irvin. The two-day opening week will continue on Thursday, July 21. Irvin's action followed a meeting in Macon of the State Tobacco Advisory Committee which recommended the date following surveys of the tobacco crop throughout Georgia. Florida tobacco specialists met June 21, Tuesday, and also recommended the July 20 opening. The recommended date was approved by the National Tobacco Advisory Committee which will recommend the opening date to Secretary of Agriculture John Block. The Georgia advisory committee also unanimously approved a motion recommending that if the Georgia market opening was delayed, Secretary Block should still provide a three week spread between the Georgia market opening and that of the northernmost tobacco markets. Pending Congressional legislation, which would freeze the 1983 price support at 1982 levels along with other changes in the tobacco pro- (Continued on Page 16) Farm Commodities Important To Georgia's Total Economy Agriculture plays a vital role in Georgia's economy. Besides creating numerous employment opportunities, it contributes over $3.3 billion in cash receipts annually. The state's agricultural commodities are among the most diverse in the nation. Georgia's top agricultural products are featured below. In the early days of Georgia, most families had to keep a dairy cow in order to have a fresh supply of milk and butter. But modern transportation, refrigeration, and other technological advancements have eliminated the need for each family to own a cow. Most folks now depend on dairymen to supply their needs and the Georgia Department of Agriculture to assure them of high quality milk and dairy products. Turn to pages 8 and 9 for more information on the dairy industry. Broilers Number Sold 1981 614,687,000 1981 Cash Receipts $635,279,000 The production of commercial broilers in Georgia had its beginnings in the mid 1930's. In 1934, the first year estimates were made, there were 400,000 broilers produced in the state. Through the years, the industry has rapidly grown and now produces more income than any other commodity. In 1981, Georgia ranked second only to Arkansas in broiler production. The commodity is number one in the state and accounts for 19.2 percent of total cash receipts. In 1981, both the number of birds produced and the value of production were record highs.

The only mowers which are permitted are those which are us- ed for agricultural pur- poses, i.e., hay mowing, bushhogging, orchard / pasture mowing, etc. Mower attachments for garden tractors are allowed as well as any equipment which has a 44-inch cut or more.

If you are having problems with this common insect, try making this homemade Japanese beetle trap. Open a can of fruit cocktail or some other kind of fruit and let it ferment in the sun for a couple of days. Suspend the can with wires (strung through holes near the top of the can) across a bucket or stand it on bricks or wooden blocks inside the container. Fill the bucket with water to the edge of the can. The beetles, attracted to the fermented fruit, will fall into the bucket by the hundreds and drown. (Note: A white enamel bucket works best; yellow next best.) Be sure and place this trap away from the plants the Japanese beetles are destroying. Sidedress your annuals five to six weeks after planting to help produce additional growth and more blooms. Apply two pounds of garden type fertilizer per 100 square feet of area (approximately one teaspoonful per square foot). Be sure and brush fertilizer from the plants' leaves after applying and water the fertilizer into the soil to prevent possible injury to the roots and foliage. Place your watermelons and cantaloupes on blocks of wood or tin cans to increase sun exposure and sweetness of the fruit. The best lime to water your garden is in the morning. If you water at night when the day is cooling off, the moisture is more likely to stay on the foliage and increase the danger of disease. Makin' Do To prevent scratching your windowsill with ceramic flo'wer pots, glue a rubber jar ring to the bottom of each pot. After trying nearly everything in the house, Mrs. Jerry Taylor of Stockbridge found that certain brands of furniture spray will easily remove scuff marks from white patent leather shoes. Add one tablespoon of white vinegar to a cup of water and boil to eliminate unpleasant cooking odors in the kitchen. Rinse peanut butter and mayonnaise jars with white vinegar to eliminate odor of former contents. When food boils over in your oven, sprinkle the burned surface with a little salt. This will help eliminate smoke and odor and make clean up a little easier. If your celery has lost its "crunch," revive it by placing the stalks in a pan of water; add a raw potato and let it stand for a few hours. Place breaded chicken or meat in the refrigerator a few hours before deep frying; breading will cling to the food better. Sew fruit jar rubbers on each corner of small rug to keep it from slipping. Wednesday, June 29, 1983 THE MARKET BULLETIN Page 15 Farm Commodities Important To Georgia's Total Economy Peanuts Acres Harvested 1981 565,000 Total Production (Pounds) 1,655,450,000 Cash Receipts $433,582,000 Although peanuts currently rank as the number two farm commodity in Georgia, it only has been in the last century that the crop gained economic importance in the state. Prior to the 1900's, peanut production was limited to an occasional patch on plantations where it was used for livestock feed. The nuts became an important staple during the Civil War when Confederate troops gave out of food. The boll weevil's devastation of the cotton crop ultimately encouraged an increase in peanut production. More than 300,000 acres were planted in the late '20s and over 500,000 acres in the 1930's. Georgia led the nation in production during most of those years. Georgia currently leads the nation in production and peanuts have been the state's number one cash row crop almost every year since 1965. They represent 13.1 percent of total cash receipts. Final crop figures for 1982 will be available in September. Hogs and Pigs Pounds Marketed 1981 671,590,000 No. on Farms Dec. 1, 1981 1,520,000 1981 Cash Receipts $289,543,000 In 1920, more than 80 percent of Georgia's 310,000 farms had hogs and pigs. However, at that time most of the pork was consumed on the farms where it was produced. The highest number of hogs on record reached 2,350,000 in 1919 and were valued at $17.50 each. During the depression, values dropped to as low as $3.40 a head. Today, swine production has become a specialized industry. Some farmers have several hundred brood sows producing two litters of eight to ten pigs each year. The enterprise contributed over $280 million to the state's farm cash receipts in 1981 8.7 percent of total cash receipts. Pecans Total Production 1981 (Pounds) 120,000,000 Cash Receipts $66,960,000 Pecans were probably found growing wild when the early settlers came to Georgia. Interest in production was stimulated by the discovery and propagation of "improved varieties" usually producing a larger nut with a (Continued from Page 1) thiner shell than seedling pecans. Pecan production has been particularly heavy in the Albany area. There were a quarter of a million nut trees in Dougherty County in 1920 and nearly 600,000 in 1925, about one fourth of the state's total. Dougherty County still ranks first in the nation in the number of trees. Georgia led the nation in pecan production in 1981. The 1981 production of 120,000,000 pounds was well below the record 135,000,000 pounds in 1978, however. The alternate "good year, off year" production pattern has continued during recent years but improvements in management practices suggest some moderation in annual production fluctuations. Soybeans Acres Harvested 1981 2,180,000 Total Production (Bushels) 41,120,000 Cash Receipts $218,662,000 Soybeans continue to be a popular crop with Georgia farmers. In the past, they have proven to be more drought tolerant than other crops and also fit well in a double cropping scheme. The increased use of soybeans in manufacturing products for both human consumption and livestock and poultry feeds, in the United States and abroad, has created a strong demand for the crop. In 1924, the first year of soybean estimates, an average of five bushels per acre was produced. 1981 estimates reveal an average of 19 bushels per acre with the crop concentrated in the east central portion of the state. Soybean production accounts for 6.6 percent of total income from farm commodities. In 1981, more soybeans were planted than any other crop. Peaches 1981 Production (Pounds) 140,000,000 Value of Production $14,750,000 Peaches have long been a trademark of Georgia. The state was among the first to become involved in the commercial peach industry during the 1800's. Development of the Elberta variety by the Rumph family in Macon County laid the foundation for the expansion of the state's industry. The discovery of the Elberta, combined with the invention of refrigerated rail cars, caused the industry to expand rapidly. By 1900, there were more than 7.5 million trees. The average price for a bushel of peaches in 1943 was $5.25 and the highest value reached over $20 million in 1945. The number of trees has declined in recent years. Although no longer the nation's top producer, Georgia is still known as the "Peach State" and ranks third in national production. Cotton Acres Harvested 1981 175,000 Total Production (Bales) 159,000 Cash Receipts $47,904,000 Cotton was the mainstay of Georgia for more than a century and a half. The crop was first planted near Savannah in 1734, just one year after the state was settled. Although grown by other colonies, Georgia was the first to produce it commercially. Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin on a Savannah plantation, made separating the cotton from the seed easier and encouraged production. From 1900 to 1920, cotton truly was king. For example, 2.7 million bales were harvested in 1914. Yields were drastically reduced in the early 30's due to the boll weevil and with the depression, the cotton economy was virtually destroyed in many counties. While the weevil was devastating, it persuaded the state to avoid a one-crop economy. Although no longer king, cotton remains important primarily in the upper and middle coastal areas of the state. Cash farm income from cottonseed and lint production accounted for 1.6 percent of total cash receipts. Corn Acres Harvested 1981 1,380,000 Total Production (Bushels) 69,000,000 Cash Receipts $112,375,000 Corn is more widely grown than any other Georgia crop. Each county has some acreage. Yields were very low until 1948 when hybrids, better adapted to southern conditions were developed. With improved fertilization, cultural practices and mechanical harvesting, yields above 20 bushels per acre have been recorded every year since 1954. In 1979, Georgia farmers harvested a record average of 65 bushels per acre statewide. In 1981, average yields were 50 bushels per acre and the cash farm income from corn accounted for 3.4 percent of total cash receipts. Acres Harvested 1981 1,070,000 Total Production (Bushels) 46,010,000 Cash Receipts $151,099,000 Wheat production appeals to Georgia farmers because it fits well into a double cropping situation. It can be followed by soybeans or sorghum which have plenty of time to mature during the state's long growing season. In addition, winter wheat utilizes land which would normally lie idle and non-productive during winter months and produces an income for the farmer in June. Wheat acreage reached 520,000 acres in 1876 but declined to only 93,000 acres in 1908. World War I flour shortages and the depression spurred interest once more. In 1981, ideal weather conditions resulted in a bumper wheat crop which established five new records: the most acreage ever planted in Georgia; most wheat acreage ever harvested; highest yields ever obtained; largest production and most valuable wheat crop. The only record not broken was the average price received which occured in 1979. Tobacco Acres Harvested 1981 55,000 Total Production (Pounds) 121,000,000 Cash Receipts $190,848,000 Tobacco has been an important part of Georgia agriculture for more than 200 years. The crop established the state as a valuable exporting colony, rescued farmers from the boll weevil and has proven its dependability as a marketable crop adding millions of dollars to the state's agricultural revenue. Georgia produces bright leaf o/ flue-cured tobacco used in the manufacture of cigarettes. Fluecured tobacco is concentrated in south central and southeast Georgia, most being grown in 44 counties. War inflated prices produced an average price per pound of 57 cents in 1917, but Federal Government production controls and price supports became effective in the 30's. The average price was 6.7 cents per pound in 1931. Chickens and Eggs As our state has grown and progressed through the years, so has its chicken and egg industry. The business has evolved from small, individual farm flocks, popular up until the 1940's, to modern, mechanized facilities producing millions of eggs and thousands of broilers daily. With some 23 million hens laying more than 14 million eggs daily, Georgia has become the second largest egg producing state in the nation, exceeded only by California. However, Georgia ranks first in the nation in cash farm receipts from all chickens and eggs, including broilers. The 1981 total shows an income of $345 million from eggs, 10.4 percent of total cash receipts.

The newest Soil and Water Conservation District in Georgia, Hall Coun ty, recently celebrated its charter night at Chestnut Mountain. The goal of this newly created district is to protect the county's valuable soil and water resources. Hall County is the fortieth Soil and Water Conservation District established in the state. The Hall County Soil and Water Conservation District Board of Super visors includes (front row, 1-r) Larry Nix, secretary-treasurer; Rev. Vernon Grimes, district chaplain; Rudolph Clark, district chairman; (back row, 1-r) Mike Haynes, member; Tom Blackstock, vice-chairman and Georgia Senator Nathan Deal, member. Graham Lyles, executive director of the State Soil and Water Conservation Committee and Jake Pollard, president of the Georgia Association of Conservation District Supervisors also at tended the event. Plant analysis also involves an evaluation of the analytical data to determine if the nutrients are within the desired ranges for optimum crop growth. In cases where nutrients are found to be low or out of balance, appropriate recommendations are made to correct the problem. In order for plant analysis to be of maximum benefit to producers, plant samples must be analyzed quickly. One of the major breakthroughs in plant analysis is the application of spectrographic techniques for rapid analysis of plant samples.

Japanese Beetles (Continued from Page 1) ing. Certain traps are also available and can be used effectively if placed away from the plant or plants to be protected. If beetles are eating your garden alive now, your lawn may be the source of your problem. You should check your lawn in September / October, and if you can roll back your turf like a carpet, or find more than ten fat, white beetle grubs per square foot, you should consider treating your lawn area with Milky Spore disease. The disease lasts for years and won't harm you, but gives beetle grubs the plague. Beetle grubs could be what's been wrong with your lawn all these years! "Peach Torte" dessert. She received $50 in dairy products and $30 cash. As third place winner, Marquez Martin of Clayton received $25 in dairy products and $20 in cash for her winning "Creme de Menthe Chocolate Dessert."
