New Fiim Now
Is Available
On Land Use
One or more copies of "Land
and Life," a new educational
motion picture portraying the
relationship between land and
people in the Southeast, will be
made available to county farm
and home agents for local show
ings throughout the state, ac
cording to L. S. Bennett, visual
aids specialist for the State col
lege extension service.
The film, a 25-minute natural
color, sound picture, Is spon
sored by the Tennessee Valley
Authority and the Agricultural
Extension Services of Alabama,
South Carolina, Georgia, Ken
tucky, Mississippi, Tennessee,
Virginia, and North Carolina.
Its main purpose is to show
how farmers of the South are
learning that proper land use
is the basis for creating new
wealth.
The story is told through an
old-fashioned family reunion.
A school superintendent from
North Carolina, a preacher
from Virginia, a farmer from
Alabama, men of many profes
sions from all parts of the
South, come with their families
back to the old homeplace ?
Explosive Wedge
Takes Sweat Out Of Log
Splitting
It won't be long before North
Carolina farmers start splitting j
logs lor fencing, home tuse and '
other purposes, and John L. I
Gray, State college extension
service forester, has Just the
tool to take the sweat out of ,
the Job.
Mr. Gray says that a small
number of farmers in North
Carolina have been using the
explosive wedge for a number
of years, but its use is not com
mon.
The wedge is especially help
ful in splitting tough hickory,
gum, oak, other hardwoods, and
pine, according to Mr. Gray.
The wedge looks like a short
length of truck axle with one
end hollowed out and tapered
down. There are several differ
ent types on the market. All
types make use of a small
back to the farm that gave
them life, fed them, clothed
them, gave them their start in
their chosen work.
As they come, the land
speaks to them through the
voice of Henry Joyner, narrator
for the Cherokee pageant, "Un
to These Hills."
The North Carolina premiere
of "Land and Life" was held
recently at State college.
