JFC" i COFFEE The BEST PART OF THE M|Ak Better Handling of Range Helps Forage Grazing Plans Aid to Natural Reseeding More than 73,244,600 acres of graz ing lands are being conserved, de veloped and utilized under range management plan* which are a part of the government’s agricultural con servation program. Better forage for livestock is * natural result of better handling of accessible range. At the same time, soil on the range and on nearby cropland receives increased pro tection. Proper utilization of rangeland requires a carefully worked-out “use plan” involving a number of fac tors. In widest use are such prac tices as rotating grazing, natural reseeding through deferred grazing, artificial reseeding by drilling, broadcasting and harrowing in suit able locations, development of prop erly spaced, adequate and depend able water supplies, eradication of destructive plants, proper fencing to facilitate uniform distribution of stock, and water spreading meas ures to divert run-off water and prevent erosive action. Proper management of one range area may require only a few of these practices, while another will need many or all of them in order ( YES SIR , CHARLIE, WHEN < / / THE RAN6E/S PROPERLY ) / ( MANAGED IT CERTAINLY J l V,AIDS FORAGE/ |p§| to return the range soil to its origi nal fertility. Reseeding, both natur al and artificial, is an essential to most rangeland. While natural reseeding through deferred grazing is held to be the most practical method, excellent re sults are reported from artificial re seeding on lands where sufficient remnants of desirable forage plants did not remain. Extension Oil Can I yA • A Fltt.2 Xk f j* Copper Wtre-^\ FI&. 1 *1 Oil Can Equipped with Wire. There are usually one or two oil holes on all machinery that the average oil can will not reach. This can be remedied by taking a copper wire about three inches longer than the spout and bend at right angles, as shown in the illustration. The bent end is inserted into the can, and spout is placed over the wire. The bent piece will prevent wire from falling out but will allow the oil to follow wire into oil hole de sired. Postwar Machinery Harvester Postwar harvesting will be ‘taken care of by self-propelled harvesters. The self-propelled feature on this machine designed by the Minneapo lis-Moline Power Implement com pany, makes possible the harvest of all crops at lower cost. Unusual engineering development makes the feature adaptable in har vesting all types of grain includ ing rice. Alfalfa Meal Valuable Alfalfa meal has been found of high value as a source of the water soluble vitamins in hog feeding. A supplement of 10 to 12 per cent alfalfa meal in a basal diet to sows in the gestation and lactation period resulted in 82.5 per cent of their pigs reaching weaning This trial showed superior results when com pared with ground yellow corn, soy bean meal, tankage, fish meal tank age and dried corn distillers’ solu- W*a. THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS OLD FORT NEWS North Carolina Farmers Set New Record For 1945 In Soil Conservation “North Carolina farmers set a; new record for 1945 in planning and beginning complete farm soi conservation programs in coop eration with their soil conserva tion districts,” Regional Conserv ator T. S.Z Buie of the Soil Con servation Service reported Satur day. “According to information furnished by State Conservation ist E. B. Garrett, during the last twelve months, 4,529 North Caro lina farmers received assistance from Spil Conservation Service technicians assigned to the dis tricts in starting complete pro grams for erosion control and good land use on 466,473 acres,” the Southeastern Regional Conserva- j tor said. In 1944, a total of 3,459 North Carolina farmers received j assistance from the districts. Dr. Buie, who has headquarters at Spartanburg, South Carolina, j said that another measure of soil conservation progress for the pasti year is that almost one-fifth of the total number of North Caro lina farmers now cooperating with districts began this program in 1945. He reported that the dis tricts were assisting 24,462 North Carolina farmers at the beginning ; of the new year in carrying out complete soil conservation plans on 2,702,298 acres. The Brown j Creek District at Wadesboro was, the first district to he organized in the Southeast. It was created j in 1937. “The progress mad elast year is j all the more remarkable because of the shortage or limited amounts of labor, equipment and materials j resulting from the war,” Dr. Buie said. “It could not have been pos- j sible without the active leadership of the farmers themselves through their locally-elected supervisors, nor could it have been possible without the great amount of sup port received from non-farm indi viduals and groups, such as, bank ers, teachers, ministers, civic clubs, newspaper editors, manu facturers, business men and oth ers living in towns and cities.” Dr. Buie predicted that North Carolina soil conservation districts would set another record in 1946. “In fact,” he said, “if only the rate of progress during the last] six months of 1945 is maintained during the next twelve months, about 5,750 farmers will become district cooperators. But, we con fidently expect the soil conserva tion program to move even faster than that this year, because train ed technicians are now returning rapidly from the armed forces and because of the growing interest and support of both farm and non farm people.” But the Regional Conservator warned: “We should not feel complacent about the pro gress now being made, because North Carolina is still losing more land through erosion than it is saving. Whatever progress we make in 1946 will not be enough; we must double and redouble our efforts until all the land of every .farm is placed under a soil con servation program that uses all the land according to its capabili ties and treats it according to its needs.” Looking back to the war year, Dr. Buie said: “Soil conserva tion farming very definitely helped farmers to make their out standing records in the produc tion of foods, feeds, fibers and fats.” As an example, he cited a summary of reports made by 146 representative district cooper ators in North Carolina. They re-j du'ceck cotton acreage more than 9 percent but produced 10 per cent more pounds of lint. They planted only 23 more acres of to bacco, but they harvested 179,000 more pounds. Although they planted 809 fewer acres to corn, they harvested a total of 5,989 more bushels. With the return of formerly idle land to use, with more feed and hay production and with more and better pastures these 146 farmers had 98 more cows and 195 more brood sows. “Soil conservation farming can help North Caorlina farmers to make whatever production ad justments may be necessary dur ing the reconversion period, “Dr. Buie said. “A complete farm soil conservation plan shows the farm er what each field can be used safely to grow and what treat ment is required to protect the land from erosion damage. Soil conservation and diversified farm ing go hand in hand ” In commenting on soil conser- 1 vation progress in the Southeast ern Region of the Soil Conserva tion Service, Dr. Buie reported that almost 30,000 farmers, in 1945, were assisted through districts to , start soil conservation farming on approximately five million acres. In addition to North Carolina, the Region includes the states of Ala bama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, Ten nessee and Virginia. “These rec ords show substantial increases for all of the states as well as for North' Carolina,” the Region al Conservator said, “In 1944, ap proximately 18,600 farmers ob tained district help in beginning soil conservation practices on 8,-J 200,000 acres. In 1946, we expect that at least 50,000 additional farmers in the Southeastern Re gion will become cooperators with the soil conservation districts they have organized.” . Dr. Buie said that since 1937 land owners in the nine states so the Region have created 300 soil conservation districts, cover ing 78.2 percent of all the farms in the Region. “The soil conserv ation district movement is still spreading rapidly in the South east, with seventy-one districts | organized by farmers during j 1945,” Dr. Buie said. “Two of] | these districts were created by! ! North Carolina farmers to bring j the total to twenty-one districts, ■overing 86 percent of the State’s' farms.” IS PROMOTED TO LIEUT. COLONEL o Mr. and Mrs. Sidney F. Mauney of Old Fort have received word that their son, Sidney F. Mauney J of Tulsa, Okla., who spent ten] days with them recently, found upon his return home his com mission as Lt.
