SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICT NEWS By Joe N. Craver and S. A. , 'Jer?kiru> Soil Conservation Service For convincing proof o 1 the vaiue of mowing pasture, farmers are in vited to inspect the pasture of Mr. Tom Dedmon, located near Ross church. Many other farmers in the county have found th'at mowing is a simple conservation practice that pays big dividends It is common knowledge that good pasture pro vides cheap fedd for livestock, but ?ood pasture cannot long exist if weeds are allowed to choke out grass and clover. Good sod like that found in Mr. Dedmon's pasture not -only produces an abundance of high qualiyt feed but serves also to con trol soil erosion. . ' C. H. Lawson of EI Bethel neigh borhood says: "The Austrian win ter peas which were sowed on my k N farm in September have made grow 1^. r th enough to cover the ground." Mr. Lawson plans to disc the winter peas under in early spring and seed the acreage to annual lespedeza. These crops will keop erosion tp a milmum on Mr, Lawson's cropland. The Soil Conservation Service re cently delivered fish to 27 farmers * in Cleveland County, for stocking 31 ; farm ponds. At the present, there are 98 ponds in the County which <he technicians of the Cleveland Work Unit have helped the farmers Jn constructing. Reports are coming from various farmers whose ponds were stocked with bass, in May of this year that tbass weighing three fourths of a pound and ten to twelve inches in width are being caught. Norman Francis, farftier of the Sha ron community plans to seed several acres of his steep land to pasture.

"Using Tall Fescue for Soil Con servation" is the title of a timely new U. S. Department of Agriculture Leaflet, which gives information on where, row, and when to plant, and. seed production of this popular new ' grasa.* | Authors of the leaflet are R. V. Bailey, Chfef of the Regional Agron omy Division, and L. B. Scott, Chief of the Regional Nursey Division of . the Soil Conservation Service. Both have had an active part in the pro- 1 duction and widespread use of Ken tucky 31 Fescue in the Southeastern Region. The Soil Conservation Service In 1940 bought 70 pounds of Kentucky 31 seed from the Suiter farm in Ken tucky, where the grass was discov ered and had been used for pasture ? since about 1890. Between 1940 and { 1948, the seed was increased in SCS nurseries to about 85,000 pounds. j During .this time, enough seed was distributed to soil conservation districts to plant at least one five acre observational patch in each of the 687 counties in soil conservation districts in the Southeastern Region. ' I By 1948, more than 100,000 acres had I been planted from this source. As a result, Kentucky 31 Fescue seed is 'now available in quantity through-1 out the Southeast. | Meanwhile, other varieties of tall fescue, including 'Aha fescue, a se lection made in Oregon 'in 1923, have also become popular in the South-; east. Observational results show no ? difference in growth and seed char j acterists between Kentucky 31, Alta, i &ad some of the other fescues, the , leaf let points out. I Copies of the leaflet may be oh | tained from the Soil Conservation Service office in the Cleveland Coun ty Agriculture Building, Shelby. i Tomatoes Gross ? $478 Per Acre \ ? ; ' ? r Three acres of tomatoes brought a gross return of $1,434 for W.
