    Farm Analysts Meeting<\/p>\n

    3 September 1978<\/p>\n

    Attendance: Russell Moton, Harold Cordell, Don Bowers, Gene Chaikin, Sarah [Harriet] Tropp, James Morrell, Guy Mitchell, Shirley Smith, Eartis Jeffery, James Simpson, Freesedry [Kivin Earl \u201cFreezedry\u201d] Smith, Demosthenes Kutulas, Tish Leroy, Darrell Devers, Danny Marshall, Vicky Marshall, Caroline Kirkendall, Chris Talley, Carolyn Layton, Jan Wilsey and Jocelyn Carter.<\/p>\n

    Planting<\/p>\n

    Got some of the plowing done today, first in long time. Gene to lay out plant material for the peanuts in the morning. Lay out the stuff for the garden. Plowed in a lot of pig shit this morning. However, was from the piggery compost pile that had a lot of deisel on it. Freesedry commented he had noticed a lot of oil draining off of the stuff he got\u2026 when rains hit it. Tish commented that stateside they use the deisel to kill weeds and grasses. Demosthenes confirmed: said he used a combination of deisel and kerosene and it killed the weeds for a year \u2013 nothin grows when this is used as a rule. Russell said that most of the fertilizers are petroleum derivatives\u2026 May not be relevant\u2026<\/p>\n

    Russell was to have checked the compost with the deisel to report if it could be used on gardens and he has not done this. Now it is in the garden. The resolution Gene suggested was to plant one row in radishes, a fast grower, and in 5 days we will know\u2026 Rest that we are not planted is to go in the area where we have none of the compost.<\/p>\n

    Every Other Row in okra suggested Gene\u2026<\/p>\n

    Tish had mentioned need for the salad greens, Carolyn Layton mentioned talking with Joyce T. [Touchette] on this. Analysts agreed to grow more salad greens\u2026 the shading will be needed for the lettuce. Will alternate with chinese cabbage, which can also be used raw; is tender.<\/p>\n

    Tish asked about the Timpala spinach which reseeds itself and can be eaten raw and does not have the oxalic acid crystals when eaten raw\u2026 Gene says can order this from Yates in Gtn [Georgetown]\u2026 Jack to place an order for some of the seed.<\/p>\n

    Decision was against peas and limes\u2026 in the regular garden even though Fannie [Ford] is having some success with them. These can later be tried in the intensive farming.<\/p>\n

    Russell said our eggplant dying out now \u2013 need to have more plant all agreed to this.\u2026 Would like more boras but last 4 crops flubbe with the beetle\u2026 Lettuce and cabbage don\u2019t do well in full sun\u2026 All agreed get in more quick crops \u2013 are having to buy garden vegetables locally, Need shallots also\u2026 Cabbage takes 4 mo. have some in\u2026<\/p>\n

    Greens, cucs, lettuce, chinese cabbage, eggplants, okra and radishes to go in garden with carrots in side area\u2026 green squash growing now in plenty\u2026<\/p>\n

    Cutlass<\/p>\n

    Jan says that we have enough cutlass beans in field 7 for 5 bags maybe\u2026 Jocelyn is to check this and pick them.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    C-8-a-11b<\/p>\n

    Plowing<\/p>\n

    Mike T. [Touchette] is to plow three fields and Jan gave the order of this\u2026 first is the hill beside the soap factory.<\/p>\n

    Jocelyn feels should use the cutlass as a rotation crop and plow under after picking in about 4 months\u2026 as green fertilizer\u2026 Presently is not [handwriting: underlined] in the farm plan. Seemed to be a disagreement between Jan and Russell on this issue\u2026<\/p>\n

    Cutlass subject to mosaid\u2026 Russell said only in small plots; he has not found this in fields. Jan said #5 on both sides were infected; Russell said was not that \u2013 was an insect that thrives in dry weather\u2026<\/p>\n

    Lettuce<\/p>\n

    Gene said best when transplant, and use lot of shit and transplant late in the afternoon on a wet day\u2026 Jan said use proper shading and won\u2019t be problem. Jan said best cucs were on arbors and same with long green squash. Russell said it reduces the fungus, also other disease problems. Shirley to let Gene know how many flats he is to set out and the nursery will do it.<\/p>\n

    Poultry<\/p>\n

    Rob thinks is cleaner than has ever been\u2026 Russell said when he went there they had disinfected one of the chicken houses and was just as it should have been\u2026<\/p>\n

    Feed problem\u2026 Jack thinks broiler starter best because does not increase the fat \u2013 down to 25 bags egg ration\u2026 James Morrell concerned to find formula so we don\u2019t later find our chickens in deficiency problems. Harris thinks they might have changed formula on some of this \u2014 Rob is to check out when he is in town at the Siminar on chicken raising\u2026 Leaving on boat Monday morning, will be in Gtn 7-8 for seminar; will go rest of way on the steamer.<\/p>\n

    Rob is to leave list of what is to be done with Carolyn for Jack and Darrell to follow up.<\/p>\n

    Rob was instructed to have his hair trimmed neatly and go get some fairly nice clothing. Darrell to land something and he can call Bev [Beverly Livingston] to warehouse.<\/p>\n

    Plowing<\/p>\n

    Mike T. to plow the two back fields, let at brick house, Field X, then #7 and then back field and old squash field Jack will show him. After peanuts out of 16, Mike needs to go in and push roots. Jen wants springtime cultivator. Gene says no, will mess it up\u2026<\/p>\n

    Reports & Evaluations\u2026 being done by all supervisors. Allowing them to come in on Thursdays at 5:30 and start them since take a lot of time.<\/p>\n

    Inspectors<\/p>\n

    Question if they do not put more emphasis on fields of their own interest? Tish and Gene challenged, Jack had raised original question when Teena and Galenda and others had complained had no time to do their own maintenance as pool was pulling them always away from their own area\u2026 Demosthenes [Kutulas] also\u2026<\/p>\n

    Gene said need a lot of pruning and cassava growing all over the citrus. Gene said lemon trees all have to be out back and pruned up. A lot have root suckers that need pruning\u2026 2-3 days\u2026 The citrus should now be moved into nursery rows and this will take a lot of time. Gene says citrus is Galenda\u2019s job. She said has more than can handle.<\/p>\n

    Gene says when it comes to planting Papaya should be planted by orchard people with experience\u2026 Galenda now has citrus, coffee,<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    C-8-a-11c<\/p>\n

    Analysts 3\/Sept\/78<\/p>\n

    -3-<\/p>\n

    Mixed fruit and orchard. Formerly was with Jan and Becky who are not now doing this\u2026 Becky doing more lab on Dad\u2019s request and doing with John Harris. Jan is an inspector\u2026<\/p>\n

    Jan, Becky, Gene and Galenda only ones know citrus\u2026<\/p>\n

    James Morrell thinks should take coffee from Galenda and let another handle this. Jan suggested Tanya\u2026 who agreed to it.<\/p>\n

    Papaya Crew<\/p>\n

    James Morrell says on the Papaya, Ciney Mewell, Dorothy B., and David Chaikin should in his estimation be on this\u2026 Gene did not like this. Feels with landscaping will need them\u2026 But landscaping is nearly completed and should not require so much of his time\u2026 NOT RESOLVED\u2026 far as I could detect.<\/p>\n

    Coffee<\/p>\n

    Jan said right now Tanya has rice and pineapples. Galena is getting her crops more centralized except for citrus out on roadside\u2026 The landscaping will be farther along\u2026 Mike will have to go in and take out the trees\u2026<\/p>\n

    Papaya<\/p>\n

    Gene thought cassava and papaya in beneath that in 90 days\u2026 Some places plant 3 per hole and later cut out the males and end up with better field\u2026 Once up to where flower is showing is too big to transplant, and you end up with too many big gaps in your field from the male plants.<\/p>\n

    Survey<\/p>\n

    Rob Christian still has not completed the resurvey he promised Jack for every field. Carolyn has paper on it\u2026 Darrell to Tell Christian to get with Gene for some information Christian needs. CAO\u2019s to receive copy\u2026 Carolyn to make it up.<\/p>\n

    Beans<\/p>\n

    Pam was recently in and [unreadable] planting beans even though it is late. Morell said this has happened before and Pam has only gotten 40% of expected crop\u2026 Jen said okay to try on the cuban black beans, feels other seed should be vacuum stored\u2026 all agreed to this. Jen said after talking to Calle Charan will have more input\u2026 went to see man at coop and he is doing very well with his crops. Does not plant beans way government says, and he is doing best of all around\u2026 Jan will learn his method and we will try this with the black beans.<\/p>\n

    Bananas<\/p>\n

    Jen said that when Mike had gone thru a field and had knocked down he tree he had just got out, stuck it back in ground and propped it\u2026 it grew well. We will start to try this. Demosthenes agreed to it\u2026 will try and see.<\/p>\n

    Cassava Mill Crew\u2014to be reestablished; wants 7 persons\u2026 Tanya said Wanda Souder, Loretha Buckley, Toi Fonzelleand Cleveland Newell were mentioned by Mary\u2026 TABLED BECAUSE MARY WAS NOT HERE. SHE SHOULD JACK BEAM\u2026 \u2026 \u2026 HAVE A WARNING\u2026<\/p>\n

    Others not attending as they should be. Darrell is to give Tish list of persons who should be here: analysts, supervisors and others who should be here every time; roll will be taken and unexcused absenttees will be given warnings in rally.<\/p>\n

    John Harris\u2014item on agenda and he is not here. JOHN HARRIS TO BE GIVEN WARNING FOR BEING ABSENT\u2026 WAS PAGED SEVERAL TIMES SAID JACK. John\u2019s agenda item was tabled to next meeting.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    C-8-a-11d<\/p>\n

    -4-<\/p>\n

    Inspectors<\/p>\n

    Give copies of their reports to Carolyn who types extra copies for the supervisors. Decision best that inspectors not debate what they find with supervisors\u2026 write their reports as they see it independently and turn them in\u2026<\/p>\n

    Last time in which corrections are to be made\u2026 Warning if not done. Jan will help them schedule the time to get it done with a crew.<\/p>\n

    Wheelbarrows needed said Demosthenes \u2014Jack will get with Albert and make decision how best to either make them, buy wheels, etc. but will see it gets done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
