Through the ACP, more and more farmers in the State have come to realise that livestock 1* assuming a greater Importance each year in their farming sys tem. This has brought about an increased emphasis on perman ent pasture, not only for usa as feed but for its recognised ?Vue as a soil-improving and soil-sav ing measure. Mr. Cable stated that conserva tit^^ractices, encouraged by the ACP, have increased the yield of pasture and forage crops, which is reflected in current product ion of livestock and livestock products. The lime, phosphates and other plant foods, which haye been used by farmers through cooperating in the ACP, has stimulated soil improvement through grasses snd legumes and ha* helped lob uild up these pas tures to their present high yields. The ACP is not only a farmer's program but it is a consumer's program as well-^or it Jft the consumer's saturate of a * ade quate supply of food and fibre tAulflll all of his needs.

WILLIAMS In starting out to do conser vatlon farming there are same step* that must be taken first if the best job is to be done. Here are the firs^wo: 1. Find the correct use for each acre. 2. Make a plan that will put each acre to work at Its best use. Most farmers know a great deal about the nature of the different fields on thei^farrrP An experi enced soil conservation surveyor is also availaMe to the Watauga Soil Conservation District to help make a physical inventory of the land. By the farmers knowledge of the land and a determination by the soil surveyor of how the soils were farmed and dev^Bped the best use of each piecAf land can be shown. The use^ade of land must be based on the way that nature made if if the land is to keepCorking permanently and profitably. The best use is usually the most profitable use In the long run. A good land inventory must In clude depth of soil, texture of the soil, fertility of the land, amount of erosion that has occured, and the slope of the land. On the basis of such an inventory a person can determine whether each piece of land is best suited for cultivated crop*, pasture, tree*, or wildlife. After a land invent^} ii made a farm plan is then ^developed as a blueprint to future farm operm tiona. Such a plan include* a field arrangement that puta each acre of land to work according to ita capability. Such a field ar rangement takes into considera tion not only wha#each field iq beat fitted for but the kind of layout that will be moat conven ent to farm and to pasture. After the land uae ia determin ed a plan of neceaiary treatment to conserve the soil and increase Ptxluctlvity is made. Thenfehe fanner can apply the practices with confidence, realizing that each job accomplished hastens completion of his over-all plan. HUDE AWAKENING Roxua, Delaware. ?
