Farmer Loses No Time
In Seeding Bulldozed Land
By HOY R BECK
Soil Conservation Service
When farm .folks begin to slope
and seed farm roads the day they
are built, a new day lias dawned
for soil conservation.
Carl vie James of Upper Crab
tree did just that When he had a
road and house site bulldozed on
the tract of land he bought thisi
spring from Gay Brad-haw By fer
tilizing and seeding the newly ex
posed ground as soon as the ex
cavation work was completed. Mr.
James had a rough surface to seed
on. the - ed and fertilizer really
worked and be has a good stand of
clover and grass already growing.
Or. J. L. Reeves plans to try two ;
different strains of-aescue grass 011
nis iann inis winter, in cooperation
with the Haywood County Soil
Conservation District. An acre of
>ach will be seeded after silage
?orn has been harvested.
Dr. Reeves got interested in res
?ue grass from some growing
ibout the barns. He says cattle
graze it in preference to all other
vinter crops on the farm. Rescue
grass is used primarily as a winter
?over crop. It is a good reseeder. if
a seed crop is allowed to mature.
YV I' Harris installed a firld
train tile line last week on his
[arm at Beaverdam The tile was
put in an old ditch that has always
given Mr, Harris trouble by silting
and raving barks. The tile will also
permit him to use tractor equip
ment more efficiently. The State
Highway Department and Public
I Works Commission installed a grat-j
ed surface inlet at the upper end i
