Soil Conservation
In Wilkes
By R. EL DUNN and
JASPER CHIPMA N
Due to his father's poor health
Mr. Worth Lackey who lives just
off highway 18 out beyond Boom
er has had to take over the man
agement of their old home farm.
Mr. Lackey states that given a lit
tle time he intends to have one
of the best looking farms in his
neighborhood. With the help of
the Tri-Creek Soil Conservation
District he intends to develop on
his farm a plan that will put his
land all in the best use suited for
soil and water conservation. Mr.
Lackey has shown that this is not
all idle talk because he had al
ready ' started some terracing,
some very good strip cropping and
is already preparing land for early
pasture seeding this fall.
Mr. C. D. Earp of Boomer, N.
C. is more than seventy years old
but he is still doing a lot of ac
tive work and is very enthusiastic
about soil conservation. He says
that he intends to get more of his
farm in good pasture each year
and let the cattle do more work
for him and at the same time he
will be using his land in a way
to keep it from washing away. Mr.
Earp has one of the best fields of
Kudzu in Wilkes county, of which
he is very proud. This Kudzu was
set by the Soil Conservation Ser
vice back in the days of the-C.C.C.
boys.
Mr. Fred WalsJj and his son Les
ter are working a good Conserva
tion plan on their two farms out
on Beaver Creek. They find the
good grass and clover pasture pro
gram they are carrying out not
only beneficial as a Conservation
measure but also very profitable
with a lot less work as the fine
herd of good beef cattle one can
see grazing on their farm give pos
tive proof.
From two and one half acres of
Alfalfa and three and one half
acres of orchard grass and ladino
clover,. Wayne Ellege of Hfty Mea
dow cut 200 bales of hay this
spring.
