Mow’d You
Like To Face
These Odds?
How’d you like to be up
against odds of 4,000 to 3?
If your sporting instincts
draw back in the face of such
odds, the National Cotton
Council says you might be
interested to know that five
per cent of the U.S. popula
tion runs these risks will
ingly every year in producing
food and fiber to meet the
needs of the other 95 per
cent.
According to scientists,
these are the kind of odds a
farmer faces just from weeds
alone when he plants a crop.
Take soybeans, for ex
ample. At normal planting
populations, it’s estimated
that three soybean seeds
could be battling as many as
4,000 weed seeds for the same
nutrients and moisture.
Weeds are among the most
expensive pests faced by
farmers. In a recent year,
they cost farmers over $5 bil
lion in terms of yields, crop
quality, and control steps.
Chemical herbicides, crop
rotations, and narrow-row
planting practices are some
of the methods currently be
ing used to combat weeds in
cotton. Scientists also are
looking at new possibilities
like micro-waves and lasers
for more effective and less
expensive weed control.
In 1972, the U S. Department of
Agriculture spent $3.47 billion on
programs for food distribution,
food stamps, child nutrition and
school milk. This was nearly one
third of the entire USDA budget.
