Aids In Strip Cropping
BY JOHN ft. SMITH ?
BOM OoMervftttoo Service
The technician* of the Soil Con
servation Service assisted John R.
Martin in laying off a field of con
tour atilp cropping recently.
This will enable Martin to plant
alternate atrip* of corn and hay
Instead of having a ateep field in
?olid row crops one year and solid
hay or grass the next. The strips '
will be rotated each year ao that
all the fields get the benefit of
organic matter turned Into it every
two years.
Strip cropping is not a new thing
to Mr. Martin. He has been farm
ing one field in contour strips for
six or seven years since the strips
were laid off by Quay Ketner and
Mack Patton. This practice has en
abled him to turn a poor, gullied
field Into a productive piece of
land.
There are many other fields in
Cherokee County which should be
strip cropped for maximum pro
duction along with maximum pro
tection from erosion.
The heavy rains of the first
week in February were the acid
test for the tile drainage that has
recently been put in the ground
In fields where the ditches were
dug with proper grade and til* laid
correctly, the water from the rains
was qulckjy drained off. In similar
fnelds where no tile has been laid,
water was still standing a week af
ter the rain stopped. '
Preliminary surveys to deter
mine the need and practicability of
draining wet land with tile were
made on several farms during the
past week. Final surveys, includ
ing setting of grade stakes to in
sure proper grade hi the ditch bot
toms, will be made before laying
he tile ns begun.
Requests for soil maps of six
farms totaling over a thousand
thousand acres were received by
the Soil Conservation District so
far in February. These maps will
be made by the Soil Scientist as
soon as he can schedule them.
A complete soil and water conser
vatlon plan was made by Lee R.
Williams, assisted- by the Work
Unit Conservationist. The soils
map, technically a land capability
map, was used as the basic for
planning practices to be carried
out on the farm.
Official word has been received
In Murphy that a full-time Con
servation Aide will report for duty
with the Cherokee County Work
Unit of the Soil Conservation about
the first of March. This will great
ly increase the services rendered
to the fanners of the county by the
Soil Conservation District and the
Soil Conservation Service.
Safe Driving Is
Pl-omoted In New
Scoot Comic Strip
Motorists who act like kids when
at the wheel of a car are pictured
as the major cause of highway ac
cidents in a new comic- strip series
entitled "Look Who's Driving",
which begins today In the Scout on
page seven.
Star of series is Charlie Young
head, an average driver who is
puzzled by tha childlike antics of
other motorists whose stubborn
ness makes them fight for the
right of way or whose impatience
leads them to pass on a hill. Once
though, Charlies nearly roses his
life when he, too, poses control of
tilmself and turns into a child at
the wheel.
In a completely new psycholog
ical approach to hhghway safety,
"Look Who's Driving draws a
striking parallel between acting a
child and adopting the Improper
attitudes that result in bad driv
ing practices, the cause of nine <jut
of 10 highway crashes.

HOTTEST BUICK IN HISTORY
No wonder you sit so many 1955 Buicks
on the highways? they're rolling up bigger
sates than ever before In history-topping
the popularity that has. already made
Buick one of the "Big Three" In total sales.
j '1 "here's never been anything in your car
driving experience like file feel of Buick's
.new Variable Pitch Dynaflow* ? because
there's never been anything like it in a- car
before.
In a modern plane, yes. Ifor this is the prin
ciple of variable pitch propellers used on
airplanes. Their propeller blades change
"pitch" for quick take-off ? then change to
another "pitch" for better gas mileage in
cruising aloft
Now you can do the same thing on the
ground? in a 1955 Buick.
iTWenty propeller blades have been ingen
iously engineered into the Dynaflow unit.
iThey pivot ? one way for a big booat in gas
mileage while cruising ? another way for
brilliant new performance.
I VVou twitch the pitoh for instantaneous
acceleration just by pressing the pedal way
down. Then it happens . . .
A build-up of momentum as smooth as oil?
and as quick as a split secondrDaxxling new
response on getaway? or a spectacular burst
of instant safety-surge power when you need
it out on a highway.
It's pure thrill ? and a happy surprise in
its far better gas mileage in cruising. Yet
Variable Pitch Dynaflow costs not a penny
more than earlier versions of this wonder
drive.
How about you trying it?
That way you can also look into the sizzling
new horsepowers, the fresh new styling, the
envied ever-level ride, the eye-opening low
prices ? all of which are making the 1955
Buick the hottest seller in all history. Come
invthis week, won't you?
