The Albe marle Soil Conservation District as sisted these farmers in setting up their plans. All of these 9 farmers have included in their farm plans, among other things, measures to maintain and build the fertility of their soils. In some cases measures for saving soil have been planned. For instance, Eli T. Byrum of the Rocky Hock area has planned to terrace and contour cultivate some of his land which is washing badly. He has grown tired of hauling dirt to fill up washes in his fields only too see it in turn-carried swiftly away and deposited in Pollock Swamp or its tributaries. In 1949 Mr. By THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDUNTON, N. C., THURSDAY, JUIjE 3, 1948. rum plans to put into practice soil and water saving practices recom mended to him by the local represen tative of the U. S. Soil Conservation Service. He thinks it is time to try more effective methods than the old method of dirt' hauling—“rob Peter to pay Paul”. W. E. Bunch, also of the Rocky Hock section, plans to continue to rotate his crops and to grow soil improving and wind erosion control cover crops. In addition, he plans to start using Crotalaria spectabilis, a self-seeding, summer legume to aid in the job of increasing the fertility of some of his well-drained loamy sand soils. Paul Ober, having some of the same types of soil as Mr. Bunch, plans to use some Crotalaria also. In his peanut-truck crop rotations Mr. Ober plans to start using a mix ture of j*ye and vetch to faster im prove his store of soil fertility. ‘ He believes that vetch can serve as a* .valuable soil building agent and that ■it will be better than rye alone, par ticularly when used to follow such crops as watermelons and can taloupes. In his mill-pond field Mr. Ober has a low-lying bottom area which is badly drained. To improve the drainage of this he plans to in stall 250 feet of 4-inch farm drain tile, outletting it in Bennett’s Mill Pond. T. Wallace Jones has set up the practice of tile drainage in his soil conservation plan. Recently he dug about 10,000 feet of dragline ditch: These he can use as outlets for farm drain tile which will be laid in some low bottoms. Mr. Jones says he plans to further improve his land drainage by purchasing a grader for sloping all of his tap ditches. He, like the other farmers mentioned above, plans to build soil fertility by use of crop rotations, cover crops and soil building legumes and fertilizers. R. C. Jordan, Soil Conservationist of the Soil Conservation Service, will assist these farmers in the applica tion of these practices, as planned by these farmers.
