The Business of Farming
By GEORGE MAYNARD
A number of individuals are
planning to plmt the —old reli-
able Sudan grass for pasture
and hay this year Despite many
new type plants on the marktt
Sudan is still probably the most
popular warm-season plant used
for pasture anti hay
Qualities that make it an out-
standing grass include its quick
growing nature Its adaptation to
a wide range of soil textures alto
depths and its good response to
fertilizer treatment Late Niav
or early June are considered good
planting dates for Sudan especial-
ly when moisture conditions are
satisfactory
In Creek county it is usually
planted in at least 14-inch rotas
with a drill at seeding rates of
approximately 20 to 25 pounds per
sere Sudan can take heavy pas-
turing when growth is in to la
inches in height and generally
best results are obtained when
cattle are not allowed to graze it
below 6 inches in height
Highest quality hay for two or
more cuttings during the season
are usually has at about 19 inches
try for higher tonnage however
and wait until the Sudan is start-
ing to head
Varieties recommended are:
Lahoma which is very leafy and
sweet or Texas 372 which is very
similar to Lahoma Finer variety
Is a high-yielding selection Of com-
mon Sudan and Green Leaf is a
popular Kansas selection of high-
quality but generally yields less
than the others
With a high-percentage of people
moving to the country on
small acreages it is quite com-
mon for many to have a milk
cow and perhaps a garden Quite
often we have inquiries from
these families concerning the safe
use of milk that is produced on
their farm
Even though tests show that a
cow is free of Bang's disease it
is generally very wise to pastur-
ize milk produced on these farms
common disease-producing bacter-
la such as tuberculosis typhoid
fever scarlet fever diplaeria
cte Approximately 99 percent of
all bacteria are destroyed as well
as most of the yeasts and molds
found in milk
To pasturize milk properly an
entire container of milk should
be held at a temperature of 143
degrees F for at least 30 minutes
or at least 160 degrees F for 15
seconds These higher tempera-
tures however tend to break
down the milk somewhat and
lower the quality Excellent home-
pasturizers are available and are
controlled thermostatically
Livestock specialists from the
Oklahoma State university are
recommending a 5 percent Toxa-
phene or a 05 Dieldrin Oil to
charge rubbing posts for controll-
ing flies during hot weather For
sprays they are recommending
DDT BlIC or Lindane For tick
control a combination of DDT
and BIIC h've proven eptite ef-
fectis - DDT is not recom-
mended on dairy cows dairymen
might be interested in treating
'dairy cows with Methoxychlor as
a dust but not as a spray for
controlling homilies The dust
must be applied however so that
no residue will occur in the milk
This means that it should be
sprinkled over the bark and rub-
bed lightly into the hair for about
3 weeks control
ALL INSECTICIDES SHOULD
BE USED CAREFULLY AC-

TUBER'S DIRECTIONS
June is the month when we real-
ly beoin to enjoy the fruits of
our labor in the garden To make
the harvest more enjoyable we
peed to follow through with good
cultural practices such as side
dressings with nitrogen fertilizer
if needed controlling the weeds
and grass and maintaining plen-
ty of mulching materials around
the summer vegetable plants Of
course we don't want to overlook
harvesting the vegetables at the
peak of quality in order to enjoy
full value of vegetables from our
own food garden
Several important vegetables
can still be planted in the garden
They especially work well in the
area vhere the early vegetables
have been harvested The veget
aides which can still be planted
are okra black-eyed peas cu-
cumbers lima beans sweet po-
tatoes peanuts pumpkins eus-
haw and squash The Acorn Squa-
sh produces abundantly stor-
es well and has the quality of
sweet pumpkins It deserves a
trial in your garden Why not try
the Butternut variety also

THE DRUMRIGTIT (ORLATIOMA) ITERICR
Temporary Pastures Should
Be Prepared Before June 10
time when the earlier plants are
starting to go into the maturity
stage and will be less palatable
lower in protein and higher in
fiber This type of pasture can
be used in rotation which some
of the cash crops to supplement
the regular or native pasture or
could CVO' possibly be used to
save the native pasture for fall
grazing
"I h e temporary pastureg
should be fertilized with a good
amount of nitrogen and phosph-
orus" Wiederkehr continued
"The proper grazing of sudan
should be just close enough for
the animals to eat the leaves but
not the stem If the animals eat
the stems they should be taken
off and allow the leaves to grow
back If the stem is eaten off
then the plants have to put forth
a new plant and it would be quite
a delay before the animals could
get new forage" he said
"Normally weed control is not a
problem on a termporary pasture
If they should be a problem- that
can easily be controlled by spray-
ing of 2 4-D The temporary pas-
ture should be put on some of the
best land for the reason that is a
short grGwing period and that

For Safety Sake
By DR DeWITT HUNT
Some 2500 Atnericans lost
their lives in floods during the
past 30 years The yearly totals
range from no deaths in 1931 to
302 in 1955
Oklahoma reported no flood
fatalities last year seven
drowned in 1957 The following
safety suggestions may save a
life:
Families living in lowland areas
should plan escape routes now
in advance in case a flood does
strike
Persons in cars should not
drive over flooded sections of the
highway
Rescue attempts to save flood
victims should be carefully plan-
ned Heavy boats and life preser--
vers are standard equipment
No scratch or cut is too in-
significant to ignore

I'd like to introduce the girl pictured here She is Lovan
Hill just starting to work in our business office as a Service
Representative
It just occurred to me that I probably haven't
told you about the biggest "idea hunt" I've ever
heard about
A short time ago all telephone People Nv e r e
asked to give their ideas on how to hold down costs
and improve service In Oklahoma some 8500
ideas were turned up
Many of the ideas were put into operaticil tl-
mediately others are still being considered rmo
be adopted But the most important thing about
our "idea hunt" is that everyone N1'ns encouraged
to submit ideas big or small
The organized "idea hunt" is ever now but the
search for new ways of doing a better job never
ends
What (toes this mean to you our customers?
To me it's evidence that we're all working to-
day to give you better service to the months and
years ahead
When you stop in the middle of your N7acation
this year to remember friends or family Lack home
why not give the "wish you were hero" greeting a
new twist
Do it Nv it h a Long Distance call It's more fun
that way and you can catch up on the news at
home too
And remember to call station-to-station You
can make three calls for the price of two
