H. LeCROY Teacher of Vocational Agriculture Spring Hope To take new ideas and develop ments and apply them successfully to practical situations calls for a type of pioneer. Such a man is I. B. Gardner of Spring Hope. He is one of the first few farmers in Nash county to successfully grow alfalfa on a large scale. Starting five years ago with his seedine. he now has twenty acres of alfalfa from which he has already secured this year three cuttings and will get two more. Each cutting has yielded approximately one ton of hay per acre. Besides having America’s leading quality hay to feed his own stock. Mr. Gardner produced last year enough hay f%om the twenty acres to ( feed about twenty mules which he kept the past spring for sale, sold about fifty tons and had nearly a carload left at the beginning of this sum mer. “I made nearly enough from that twenty acres alfalfa to run my family.” says Mr. Gardner. One of the best ways of becom ing a beter farmer is by being a Hose observer of what other farm ers are doing. One can profit by the mistakes and successes of others. Now is a good time to check with your neighbors on results of dif ferent fertilizers, varieties, meth ods of cultivation and other opera tions. What one farmer demon strates successfully is worth more in getting better farming practices followed than what the county agent and vocational teachers Can get done in years otherwise.
