Close growing crops like les-
Ipedeza help to reduce soil eros-
lion, and conserve and builds up
I the soil by adding humus and or-
Iganic matter to the soil. Lespe-
I deza where left for two years
I and turned under will increase
Ithe corn yield from 10 to 50 per
[cent thereby reducing the fertil-
I i*er bill greatly.
Other legumes such as rlfalfa,
cowpeas, clovers, vetch, soybeans,
Austrian Winter Peas are grown,
but not on as large a scale as les-
pedeza.
Poultry
Wilkes county is one of the
largest poultry producing coun
ties in the state and rightly .so.
The poultry business is sound and
the future bright. Poultrymen
Lre assured of 22 cents per doz-
ra for eggs and 15 cents per
found fof poultry for the next
two years. This doesn’t mean that
poultry and eggs will not go high-

.Wllttigye- rii iiiyi W
w. btit means It will not go low
er. In fact, poultry and eggs are
higher than these prices at the
present time.
We have s'everal big hgtcheni
established here from which
thousands of baby chicks are sole!
over the state. These hatchers al
so buy the eggs from our own
Wilkes county farmers which
gives them a wonderful market.
Other than the hatchers the mer
chants end produce dealers buj’
thousands of dozens of eggs from
our farmers. Other eggs are sold
In the nearby _cities and states.
In addition to the bab'y chick
and egg business, thousands of
broilers are grown each year.
Broiler production is perhaps the
quickest wry that the poultrymen
can turn over his money.
t'otton and Tobacco
The farmers of Wilkes grow
approximately 1400 apres of to
bacco and from 100 to 300 acres
of Cotton. These cash crops are
small, but to the farmers who
grow them they are vitally im
portant.
The farmers who grow these
two cash crops have many prob
lems, such as the blue-mold in
tobacco which has given much
trouble within the past few years,
with the exception of the present
year. The bollwevil has been a
big problem for the cotton farm
er. Due to the fact that we had
a surplus of cotton and tobacco
for the pa.st ten or more years the
prices haven’t been encouraging
' to the farmers. Tobacco prices
have held up much better than
cotton for some reason. By using
more cotton we may expect bet
ter prices.
j Foil- try
Forestry is a big business for
the farmers and the prices have
bet-n very satisfactory here of
late. The farmers realize that the
sale of timber, poles, post wood,
hark and also plenty for their own
[arm needs is one of the most
import:'nl crops on the farm.
However, in lots of the cases our
loresi land is not given the same
thought and management a.s the
other crops.
Orchards
.According to our records we
have some 200 orchardists who
have approxiiiiuiely 200.000 ap-
I'le trees of hearing age. and 60,-
000 each trees of bearing age.
Many thousand bushels of apples
are sold each year by the Brushy
I .Mountain Fruit Orowers. Wilkes
I county has more apple tree.s of
i bearing age than any other coun
ty in the State.
I Small drains
I Some 15.000 or 16,000 acres
■ of wheat, oats and rye are grown,
but this does not supply the farm
needs.
