Spring Clean -lip
Makes Farm Safer
Few Hours Spent In
Cleaning Will Prove
Profitable
iA thorough dean-up around the
farm before spring work really gets
under way is good insurance against
loss of property and man-hours later
this year.
This reminder comes from County
Agent <3. IW. Overman. IA few hours
spent now in cleaning out hazards
around the house and bam may save
many days during the “rush season,”
Mr. Overman says.
He said a good rule to follow is,
"A place for everything and! every
thing in its place.” Surveys show
that the largest single cause of farml
and home accidents, other than poor
judgment, is disorder. The same sur
vey shows that disorder is responsible
for putting one out of every five acci
dent victims in the hospital.
He suggested that farmers remove
trarii accumulations such as paper,
rags and rubbish, Scattered boxes and
boards that may have accumulated
from basement to attic. Medicines,
‘drugs and insecticides should be clear
ly labeled and kept Out of reach of
children.
"Check through the farm shop,”
Mr. Overman said. “Are tools in their
right places, hammer and axe handles
secure and in good condition? Is
there an accumulation Os barbed
wire, glass scrap metal, loose boards,
weeds and grass about the home and
bam?
“The bam is the principal work
center for dairy farm chores so it is
important to find suitable locations
or Storage places for feed, tools, har
ness and other equipment, thus keep
ing the work areas clean.”

Group Drainage
Project Completed
Yeopim Farmers Bene
fit By Mile Long
Ditch
'A group ditch drainage project was
completed last week for two farms
in the Yeopim Community of Chowan
County. The project consisted of the
construction of approximately one
mile of dragline ditch to improve the
drainage on 76 acres of cropland. In
addition to the cropland, a large acre
age of woodland —probably 200 acres
or more—will also be drained to the
Burnt Mill Outlet ditches.
The farms receiving the drainage
improvements were owned and operat
ed by John N. Bunch, Roy Bunch and
Stanley Blanchard. All three farm
ers were happy with the completion
of their improvement project. A typi
cal expression was made by John
Bunch when he said, “I’m glad to get
this job done. I like to see this wa
ter moving away.”
Technical assistance for completion
of the above group drainage project
was furnished by the Soil Conserva
tion Service technicians working in
Ohowan County with the Albemarle
Soil Conservation District.
The preliminary survey was made
last week for a drainage improvement
on one of Fahey and Carroll Byrum’s
farms. The improvement will consist
of the digging of several hundred feet
of dragline ditch to better drain sev
eral acres of wet land.
T. W. and J. <M. Fleetwood will re
vise the drainage plan on two fields
of their farm in Yeopim community
this year. According to the topograph
sloß REWARD!
One hundred dollars reward
will be paid for information
leading to the arrest and con
viction of the party or parties
who stole azalea and camellia
plants from the Smith Ceme
tery between March 16 and 21.

NORFOLK, VA.
So survey which was made by the
local S. C. S. technicians, improved
drainage can be obtained by the elimi
nation of four small tap ditches and
reversal of the crop row direction.
In addition, the land on one 14-acre I
field can be used more in accord with
its capabilities. More specifically, pea
-1 nuts can now be produced on a portion
of the field without putting the crop
also on a lower, wetter area, cm was
necessary before the field revision.

Fertilizer Now Leads
Farm Bargain List
On North Carolina farms, under <
present economic conditions, fertilizer
is still at itbe top of the farmer’s
bargain list, according Ito Warren
County farm agent Frank Reams.
Reams is urging his fellow farmers
to go easy on everything but fer
tilizer. (He says that in 1940 every
dollar invested in fertilizer brought a
$2 dividend in extra crop. ISix months
, ago the same investment brought an
, average return of $3.75, with dividends
on certain specialty crops like toma
. toes running as high as sls.
; Even with a slump in market prices
. far greater than experienced in re
cent months, 'Reams says, fertilizer,
l properly used, will remain the most
: efficient guardian of the farmers’,
. economic welfare. 'By increasing out
, put per acre through greater fertilizer
. use, a farmer can not only improve
his soil but maintain and ever bolster
. his net income.
; The explanation, Reams says, lies
! in the fact that while prices of other
; commodities the farmer, buys 'have
t risen more than 100 per cent, the
. price of fertilizer had increased only

Applying one ton of ground lime
stone ahd 1,000 pounds of 2-12-12
fertilizer for alfalfa and permanent
pasture is a must, according to
Reams, and adding 500 to 600 pounds
of 0-9-27 each year for maintenance
is also important.
"Pick out the besrt looking pasture
you can find and ask the man who
seeded and fertilized it and you’ll find
that he economized in other farming
operations not fertilizer,” says
Reams.
