Sawdust Piles
Used For Humus
The problem of what to do
with old sawdust piles has been
solved by a Madison County far
mer.
Six or seven years ago Mack
Rice, Route 4, Marshall, had a
considerable amount of timber
cut and sawed into lumber on his
farm. As visual, when the saw
mill operator moved out, he left
a large stack of slabs and a huge
pile of sawdust on the oid saw
mill site. Eventually Rice used
up the slabs as firewood.
The sawdyst has now begun to
decay. Rice is spreading it over
some poor, thin land which he
Is putting in pasture. The decay
ing sawdust, tie believes, Is a
good soil conditioner and will
add much needed organic mat
ter, or humus, to the land.
John E. Ford, assistant exten
sion forester at State College,
says recent studies by several ex
periment stations show that raw,
fresh sawdust, when added to
the soil, requires the addition of
extra amounts of nitrogen at the
rate of about 60 pouns of nitro
gen to a ton Of dry sawdust "Ifce
organisms which cause the saw
dust to decay require large a
mounts of nitrogen. However,
this extra nitrogen is returned
to the soil again when the saw
dust has completely totted, z
Ford says m'ixlng sawdust in
soils looaens heavy soils, and
rain water is much more likely
to seep into them than run off.
In sandy soils the humus derived
from sawdust helps increase the
water - holding capacity of the

Gastonla Social S#curity Office
June 30, 1951 Is an important
deadline date under the new
Social Security Law for those
parents who were dependent lor
suport on a son or daughter kil
led in military service during
World War II, or who were de- j
pendent on a veteran, of Wqrld
War II who died more than two
years ago. For June 30,1951 is the
date which they must file a cer
tificate with the Social Security
Administration, proving that
they were dependent. Usually
these certificates of dependency
must be filed by parents within
two years of the date their child
dies if they wish to qualify for I
social security monthly pay
ments. However, the two-year fil- I
Ing period was extended to June
30, 1951 when military service
during World War II can he cred
ited toward Social Security pay
ments.
Under the Social Security Law,
parents may be' entitled to
monthly payments when they
are 65 years old if they were re
ceiving at least one-half of their
support from their child when he
died, and if he left no widow or
children entitled to monthly so
cial security payments.
But certificates proving de
pendency must be filed on time,
so get in touch with the Social
Security Office in GastOnia be
fore Tune 30 if you have any
questions a'bout the rights of par
ents of World War II servicemen
to social securfity monthly pay
ments. '
land.
Sawdust is not only a good soil
conditioner, but it also has lim
ited value as <a fertilizer. Its
value, says Ford, is roughly e
quivalent to that of a 4-2-4 com
mercial fertilizer.
Dairy seclallsts at State Col
lege say the dairy cow is a ra
ther . nervous animal. For this
reason things that tend to ex
cite her at milking time ? such
as loud talking, dogs barking,
noisy children, or rough treat
ment ? should be avoided.
16-8-2 Effective
In Controlling Weeds
Good results in the use of 16
8-2 fertilizer and weed control
material on tobacco plant beds
have been obtained by Junior
Swamm, Caswell County Negro
farmer of Route 3, Mebane.
Swann conducted a demonstra
tion with 16*8-2 this season In
cooperation with E. B. T. Carra
way, Negro farm agent in Cas
well for the State College Exten
sion Service. He applied 100
pounds of the material on 33
square yards of plant bed in the
fall and seeded the bed 100 days
later. ..
The area was checked in mid
May. At that time Swann had 85
*
percent stand of tobacco plants
but very lew weeds. In fact, he
estimates that weed control was
about 90 percent effective. Prac
tically no weeds were found
where the bed was treated and
cared for properly.
County Agent Carraway says
a number ot farmers in the
county have visited the demon
stration.

the Southern Railway System has been doing.
For example, our new ultra-modern Yard at
Birmingham ..? now under construction ... will
cost more than $9 million. Modernizing our Yard
at Knoxville . . . now nearly completed ... is costing
another $3 million. These Yards are necessary

equipment and facilities we are placing in service.
