Wasteland Is
Farm Problem
What don a fanner do with an
unuiually targe area of waate
land?
The question may receive a
partial a rawer, at least, in a
practice being carried out on the
farm of C. B. Hatch of Dudley.
Hatch has 275 acre* of waste
land, according to Steven E.
Lewis, assistant Wayne County
farm agent tor the State College
Extension Service. "By waste
land," say? Steven. "I mean lamf
that was stripped of its timber'
and no provisions left for a seed
source with the exception of a
few hardwood." ?
The entire 275 acres doesn't
have a single pine bearing seed
and hasn't had for the past 3$
years, according to the assistant
county agent: Hatch tackled the
problem of bringing the 27S acres
back into productivity by mak
ing "spot plantings" of pine. He
finds clearings that will support
seedlings and plants loblolly
pines.
At the transition zone between
the high ground and swamp he
has distributed the soil and plant
ed band of loblollies around
the entire swamp. Some hard
woods are being logged out of
the swamp and as the ground is
torn up and clearings created,
Hatch spof plants a few seedlings.
But he is careful to place the
seedlings in an area that is not
likely to be flooded. ?
Says SUven: "The idea Is
norm thing worth following up. If
it proves successful Mr. Hatch
has accomplished something very
worthwhile. I am of the opinion
that it will come out all right.
He hai based it on good sound
reasoning." \
Commercial slaughter of the
important species of livestock in
North Carolina during January
1954 amounted to 21.5 million
pounds liveweight, the second
highest slaughter since 1947 wheri
records began.
