Mrs. Greene gave a wonderful
demonstration on "Eat to Control
Your Weight" which was very
iimely and most interesting, as
all her demonstrations are. Some
helpful booklets were given out
for us to determine how much of
certain foods we should eat to
consume our number of calories
so as not to grow thin or become
overweight. Most of us have a

Mr. Worth Tomlinson recently
had the personnel Of the Wilkes
county work unit of the Tri-Creek
Soil Conservation Service assist
his farm manager, in laying out
two terraces to divert the water
from a draw that was taking some
damage from erosion in the past
hard rains. This Job was done on
the Tomlinson farm near Millers
Creek as a temporary measure to
take care of a field oj Sudan
grass used for temporary grating.
The field will later be Bown in
permanent grass and clover which
will control the erosion and make
the terraces no longer necessary.
Mr. Lloyd Phillips of Mora
vian Falls is demonstrating the
fact that with good treatment you
can grow good pasture under al
most any condition. Despite the
dry weather in that particular
community Mr. Phillips has some
very excellent Ladino Clover and
grass pasture. This pasture which
can be seen on the old Phillips
home place out beyond Boomer
school is growing on land that
without good treatment would
have to be used only for timber.
Mr. John Harris who lives just
south Of ^Wilkesboro recently had
terrace lines staked on a field he
had cleared for pasture Mr. Harris
plans to develop his farm in^)
a good cattle farm.
Cattle are grazing well on pas
ture reseeded this* spring on the
farm of Mr. John C. Alexander
along the Hays and North Wilkes
boro road. Mr. Alexander says
that in addition to a good coat of
chicken litter he used a high treat
ment Of lime, phosphate and high
potash fertilizer. This shows that
pasture will produce a lot earlier
with good treatment.
