County Agent. This contest is spon
sored by the N. C. Bankers Associa
tion and the state winner and his
coach will be given a free trip to the
Bankers Convention which will be
held at Pinehurst during the spring
of this year.
Contestants will speak on the sub
ject, “Soil Conservation and Its Re
lation to the Economy of North Caro
lina.”
“It is highly important that we do
something immediately to prevent our
land from eroding,” says Mr. Marsh.
“In North Carolina there is 9.44%
or 2,971,510 acres of the total land
area which has suffered such severe
j erosion that two-thirds of its original
surface soil plus some subsoil has
blown or washed away. (Based on
'data of the N. C. Agricultural Ex
| periment Station and released by the
jN. C. Extension Service in April,
1 1945). These figures may seem vague I
and meaningless to the average per
son, but when one recognizes the
fact that it takes 2'4; acres of pro-,
ductive land to furnish the food and
fiber for one person each year, then
it becomes very obvious that we must
save our soil despite all of our modern
conveniences in this country. Most
of our food and clothing still comes
from the six inches of topsoil and this
topsoil must be conserved if we are
to maintain bur present high standard
of living.”
