PAGE EIGHT ■ ... 11l I I - Many Os Chowan's Farmers Now Seed Permanent Pastures Pastures Established to Graze Hogs and Stop Erosion Many farmers of Chowan County have seeded permanent pastures in the last few weeks. Most of the pas tures have been established for hog grazing. Kentucky 31 fescue and Lauino clover were used most gener ally. Orchard grass was substituted for fescue on the better drained sites. Quite a number of these pasture seedings will control soil erosion. Fay Ward, Ernest Boyce, Carroll Byrum and William B. Shepard have located their pastures on fields that needed the projection of broadcast cover. Lots of other fields which were somewhat wet for row crops have been put to good use with these Kentucky fescue - Ladino pastures. R. H. HoHowell, a member of the Chowan County Board of Soil Con servation Supervisors and a farmer of the Small’s Cross Roads section, has recently seeded a three-acre plot to a new cover crop known as Caley ■ { -sJL HARPER’S BAZAAR IfHHl■* It Fur Trimmed and Plain $21.95 to $ 79.50 ❖ All Wool Gabardine and Sharkskin - SUITS ] $25.75 to $49.50 HATS GLOVES BAGS The Betty Shoppe EDENTON, N. C. or Wild Winter Peas. This is a win ter hardy legume which produces large yields of seed. Wild winter peas have been used principally as a grazing crop and for hay. In the Black Belt of Alabama and Mississippi it has been pastured late December until May. It is palatable and cattle have made sat isfactory gains on it. This legume also-is a good soil-improving crop in rotations. Mr. Hollowell will try it out for this purpose. The seed for , planting his three acres were furnish ed by the Soil Conservation Service. Louis Francis is making good use of another legume Crotalaria—to build his soils. Mr. Francis planted this summer legume broadcast on a newly-cleared sandy field on his Tip- Toe road farm. He plans to let the seed crop mature so that volunteer crops of soil-improving Crotalaria can continue to come each year and build his soil fertility. Some other soil conservation farmers who are using Crotalaria for soil building purposes are Woodrow Lowe, Mrs. W. A. Nix on, R. O. Blanchard, Charlie Small and R. C. Holland. Lloyd Bunch, chairman of the Al bemarle Soil Conservation District Supervisors and farmer of the Briall section of Chowan County, plans to take better care of an eroding field area on Pollock Swamp. He will re tire this area from row-crop produc tion. Sericea 'espedeza and Ken tucky fescue will be broadcast to check the sheet and gully erosion THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N.
