SMITH Work Unit Conservationist t A number of Cherokee County , farmers have recently made com I plete soil and water conservation .plans of their farms, with the as sistance of the Soil Conservation . Service technicians. | Using a land capability map fur nished by the SCS as a basis for the ' conservation plan, the farmer and the SCS technician examine each field and decide by thorough dis cussion of the possibilities what would b? the best use for the field. When the complete farm has been covered, and practices for j each field have been decided, a land use maff is drawn by the SCS technicians. This map shows the location, size, and land use of every field In the (arm. | Land capability map, land use map, and Job sheets showing the I needed and planned conservation practices are all Included in a (ol der given to the farmer. , Among the farmers who have re ' celved conservation plans re cently are Clyde 8tarks of Bear paw Road, Leonard Stiles ?( Martins Creek, Charles E. Tip pet of Junaluaka, W. D. Townson of Murphy, A. 1. Barton of Peach tree. H. N. Brendle of Shoal Creek, and Wayne Aberaathy of Hangtngdog. I Number of farms have request ed assistance from the Soil Con- ( servation District and the Soil Con servation Service in working out complete plans of their farms. The , first step in this process is the se- . curing of a land capability map or soils map. ? I These maps are furnished by the < SCS free of charge. Sixteen farms 1 have been added to the long list ' waiting for the soils scientist. i f il Judd Stiles requested the assist- i ance of the SCS in laying out a I , dam-site and water line for a j farm pond which he plans to build on his farm. This pond, 1 ( when built, will make many i hours of pleasure (or the Stiles | family as well as to furnish food i for the table. It / ! Experiments carried out in Ala- f bama have shown that a one-acro ( pond, propely managed, can pro- j duce 300 to 400 pounds of fish per year. , l The state Engineer of the Soil Conservation will conduct a two 1 day school in Waynesville this ' week on irrigation for all the SCS technicians in western North Car i i The recent dry summers have ^ 2 ?aused a great increase in the in- f '.erest shown in this practice. Irri- a nation is without question a prac tice of tremendous value to the farmer. It is a practice, however, ?hat should be thoroughly investi- ^ stated by the farmer before any money is invested in equipment. ^ The best equipment made is of no value if adequate water to ir- t rigate is not available when need- g ed. |( Youth Groups , Aid Clean-Up The active leadership of youth organization* throughout the state waa sought today as the State Agri cultural Extension Service began Its SpHng Clean-Up drive (or great er tire safety on farms. "Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts, Sirfiday school claases, 4-H clubs and other youth groups can be a tremendous help 16 the state and county agri cultural agents who are now cam paigning to lessen fire's tragic toll of lives and dollars," said W j H. Flake, Extension Agent. "Fire prevention is more than just a fire department responsibility ? it's the obligation of every citizen." The home, origin of 50 per cent of ' all fire deaths, is the most logical place to start a spring clean-up. Children are asked to enlist their families' help in getting rid of' quick-burning rubbish, in clean- 1 ing and checking household elec- 1 Irical equipment, in removing oily rags, wood shavings and other 'j [ire hazards and in making gen- 1 ?ral repairs and improvements to- > ward a more fire-safe home. Elsewhere on the farmstead | 1 special attention should begiven 1 1 ;o dirty, oily tools in the machine | ihed. to possible malfunctioning of 1 ' i brooder heater, and to the dan- J ' fer of spontaneous combustion in," he poorly ventilated parts of the ' jam. 1 1 "Don't give fire a place to start" | s this year's national Clean-Up t slogan. Co-sponsors of the farm ?; safety drive are the U. S. Depart- j nent of Agriculture and the Nat- , onal Fire Protection Association.
