"SPEC I r
Seme of our friends who wire mis
informed have made certain state
nients ab.ut the conservation program
that are misleading. However, vve do
not wish to have anybody believe any
thing which is not correct. We have
a complete list in our office of the
costs of handling the li'liti Soil Con
servation program for every county
in the state. And also the payments
that each has or will receive. We are
giving below the mountain counties.
Haywood county could have received
la.st year several thousand dollars
more had every body co-operated in
ed from southern stock.
Col. J. W. Harrelson, admini.-tra-tive
dean of the college, also stated
that economic changes are bringing
agricultural districts to the front,
while great cities built largely on
wealth produced elsewhere have al
ready seen their heyday.
Dean I. O. Schaub, director of the
State College extension service, point
ed out that one of the major problems
of agriculture is how young people
who wish to .start farming can secure
land of their own. Few have the cap
ital required to buy and equip a farm
of any size.
The purpose of the conference, said
L. R. Harrill. 4-H club leader at the
college who had charge of the con
ference, is "to give information, train
ing, and inspiration which will help
young men and women select intelli
gently the vocations for which . they
are best fitted."
Besides the addresses and recrea
tion, the boys and girls; were given
advanced instruction in agriculture
and rural homemaking.
the program.- It is not necessary .to
ask why some did not co-operate last
year, but we find that nearly every
farmer in Haywood county is this year
in the program. Read the following

Our National 'farm program is built
around the following practices:
1. Seedini of legumes and neren-
nial grasses. 2. Growing of green ma
nure and cover crops, .i. Mulching
orchards. 4. Planting and thinning
forest trees. 5. Improving land by
use of ground limestone. (!. Using
phosphates.. 7. Using . potash. 8.
Controlling erosion by terracing. 9.
Controlling erosion of crop land by
subsoiling.
Our leaders in Congress and in our
state have said this is a safe and sound
program to follow. The criunty agent
and the community comittees with
hundreds of farmers in HaywtHid
county are trying to carry this pro
gram out. Not every farmer is using
everyone of the nine points, but each
farmer can and should use some of
them. The orchard men Will not be
100 pet cent in -using .mulching ma
terial. Not .every farmer Will ter
race or sub-soil, but it is not democ
racy and fairness Tor us to condemn
the program or any part of it, be
cause we do not believe that it is
needed on our farm. But this pro
gram was set up so that every farmer
could tit into it in some way. We are
looking for co-operation to make the
program for 1!KS7 bring $70,000. If
you co-operate as you should we will
get it done.
We have just received a supplement
which makes it nossible for a farm
not to be penalized for failure to meet
the minimum soil-conserving acreage
provided there is m idle land on the
farm and the increase in soil-deplet-ine
ciOds were grown to renlace a
shortage of feed crops on the farm
caused by flood, drought or otner
unfavorable weather conditions in
1936 or 1937. This provision does
not make it possible for a' producer
to he naid on a creater number of
diverted acres than he has soil-con
serving acres on the farm. It only
provides for an exception of the $3.00
penalty on each acre by which the
farm fails to meet the minimum soil
conserving acreage. .
The state and federal governments
are ready to give us the services of
a licensed veterinary in testing all
cattle including milk and beef cattle
for Bangs and T. B. . This can be
done and the Work can start in the
near future. If the county is ready
to co-operate. If you believe this step
should be made then you should speak
to you county commissioners.
WHAT ARE YOU LEAVING YOUR
BOYS AND GIRLS?
No one but a blind man or an ex
tremely stupid me would deny that
the farming business is undergoing
considerable changes. -
It is equally true that these changes
are not the result of the plans of any
one individual or group of individuals,
but rather the result of the devel
opment of civilization.

That kind of thinking n the part
of farm people brought agriculture'
business very near to disaster, and
reasonable men can easily believe
that, if such ell'orts as those of the
Farm Bureau fail, the most chaotic
conditions would result.
Are you willing to leave that kind

Because there are about 9a kinds

not always effective against another.
Mr. ."'. Mocalf, head of the de

the insects be destroyed in their nests.
If they occur in lawns or. in rotten
logs, the ants may bo eradicated by
using calcium i yanide or carbon d isul
