Facts About Soil Conservation By H. J. WILLIAMS Monday of thi& week, white pine and locust seedlings were delivered for planting on the himi of Hayes Wellborn. Ed Love, Appalachian Suite Teach ers College, W. A. Stansbury, Marvin Culbreth, J. T. C Wright, and Ned Jestes These farmers ate (?operators with the Watauga Soil Conservation District. Plant ing tree* was one of the practices planned for theae farms. James Michael, farming on New River, realizes the necessity of preventing erosion on his farm. He recently said "The way a man treats and uses the top inch of soil can determine his success or failure." If the .top inch is allowed to erode away it will mean that he not only loses that much valuable land: but much of the lime, fertilizer, and arganic matter as well, is Mr. Machael's belief. Ned Jestes, farming back of Grandfather Mountain, recently planted multiflora rose on . his farm. This plant grows into a hedge fence that remains per manent and require* very little maintenance from year to year. Such a fence will turn all live stock and produces both food and cover for birds and other game. Last week, complete soil and water conservation plans were made on the farms . of Heath Smith, James Michael, and Hor ace Harmon. John S.

DISTRIBUTED IN WATAUGA COUNTY BY Farmers Hardware & Supply Co. Cabbage, Citrus On Plentifuls List Southern -grown cabbage, fre?h and processed citrus fruits, aod eggs are among the- food* lifted by the U. S. Department of Agri culture as plentiful in the South east for April, Mrs Betty Ed wards. county home demonstra tion agent for the State College Extension Service, said this week. Generally, cabbage is seasonal ly plentiful in April, and if recent price trends hold, this food will rantinue in the budget-buy class [or several weeks. Most of the southeastern cabbage is now com ing .from Florida and Alabama but Georgia and South Carolina will also have cabbage ready for harvest in April. North Carolina's spring crop should be ready by the last of April or early May. The nation's 117-million-box nrange crop accounts for retail markets being well supplied with oranges this year. Southeastern markets, being within short ship ping distance of Florida groves, should have ample supplies of fresh oranges and grapefruit. Pro cessed citrus products also are in plentiful supply. Broiler production in April is expected to continue at a high level, especially since chick place ments for April broilers wer 25 percent greater than last year, the home agent reported. Other foods on the April plen tiful list include fish, dates, dried prunes, pecans, almonds, cottage cheese, nonfat dry milk, lard, peanut butter, and vegetable shortening and salad oil.
