farmers doing all of the work.
Mr. Cable, chairman of the Coun
ty PMA Committee, reports with
pride that this acreage represent*
additional grazing land (or the
incraastag number of livestock in
the county. Not only in this
county but throughout the State,
farmer* aw taking advantage of
aasistance offered through the
ACP to aid them in establishing
more and better permanent pas
tures.
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

I of adverse weather conditio!^
and a shrinking labor force.
Our farms are "defense plants"
Just as much as the factories
turning out f espons are "defenae
plants." Mr. Cabl* stresses that
we must continue W increase
production and also we must con
serve our soil for this and future
generations.
Fanners may now obtain as
sistance for carrying out needed
conservation practices under the
1952 ACP. Conservation practices
included in the Watauga County
Handbook of Practice are those
practices which flHll In tain or

prevent soil erosion caused by
wind or water, conserve and in

also aaaist in mking pAible the

Different Stages Of
Fhrm Coifservation
By H. J. 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.

Some times we listen to rumors
that some of the money has been
