county agent and PSA representati- i
ves. organized the farmers of these
two areas al-iut one year ago. with
the purpose on mind of making such
improvements in farming manage
ment and practices that could come i
about only through unity.
As an example, last year only four
farmers in the Martin's Creek area
and only three farmers in the B-ajS- |
town area seeded crini'on clover as '
K winter cover crop. This year 43
farmers in the Martins Creek area
seeded from one to six acres, and 17 .
farmers in the Brasstown area seed- j
ed one to sixteen acres. This shows
an increase in this farming practice '
of 600 percent.
Another practice which Is a good
example of progress made is the i
seeding of rye. 90 percent of the |
farmers in both areas did not seed
rve last vear. but did seed rye this
year.
In the division of home beautifics
ton. the Belleview church, in Mart
in's Creek Watershed, was a parti
cularly good example. The entire
church was remodeled and repainted.
These are only a few of the prac
tices that have been completed and
will be completed by these area de
monstration farmers, whose program
includes such purposes as the fol
lowing: to create a better standard
of living, encourage better farm
management: concentrsrtion of row
crops on level land and devote steep
lands to soil conserving crops: better
fertilization of crops with a higher
analysis of fertilizer: grow feed for
livestock: adopt a crop rotation
system: increase livestock with a like
increase in qaullty: increase fertility
of the soil.
