If she could talk, 9-week-old
Monica Lynn Mashall would prob
ably tell her Mom and Pop to slow
down. A daughter of Assistant
County Agent and Mrs. L. B. Mar
shall Jr., Lynn has chalked up|
manv milps in
her young life.
Eleven days af
ter her appear
ance In Union
City, T e n n.,
March 1, the
family moved to
Ripley, Tenn.,
85 miles away,
Three days laterthe Mars hails
made a 345-mile move from Ripley
to Dayton, Tenn. Lynn didn't get
settled down long enough to cele
brate her four-week birthday when
Mom and Pop were off again. This
time it was a 105-mile move to
Murphy. On top of all that travel
ing, Lynn has attended three drive
in movies, been fishing twice, vis
ited Hiwassee Dam and Fields of
the Wood, all in her first six
-weeks- When she was five-weeks
old, she attended a District Con
ference of the Methodist Church
and was Christened two days
later. Since then she has attended
five church services. She was
present for both Womanless Wed
ding presentations here and just to
keep her record in good standing
she made a round-trip to Dayton
the past week-end. adding over
300 more miles to her young life
What does Lynn say about all
this? Her only comment: "Goo."

Wilson Radford says he is just
tolerable these days since his
practically new 50-horsepower
Jonhnson motor ended up 150-feet
<Jown in Hiwassee Lake. Valued
at $825, the motor departed when
the fiber glass boat in which Mr.
Radford and Steve Dockery were
riding recently struck a log on
Hiwassee. Neither was hurt but
damage to the $995 boat was esti
mated at $800.

Mrs. Carmen Townson says she
is not too happy with the "tiny"
birth announcement of her new
son stuck at the bottom of a page
in last week's Scout "and me a
former Scout employe." So, in
case you missed it last week, Car
men and J. C. are the proud par
ents of a new red-headed boy,
Charles JDaniel, born Friday morn
ing, April 25.

The subject of Head Hunters
?was discussed in school, recently,
and Perry Brown, son of Mr. and
-Mrs. W. T. Brown Jr., got to think
ing it over. It is reliably reported
the next day Perry told his teach
er that Head Hunters were not
limited to Africa and South Amer
ica, that he knew of two head
hunters right here in Murphy.
When his surprised teacher asked
Perry to prove his statement, Per
ry came up with this: "One head
hunter be met was a louse which
he saw outside & barber shop; and
the other was a bit of dandruff
According to Perry, the dandruff
explained that "he was only a lit
tle bit of dandruff, tying to get
ahead"!

JOHN
SMITH
Why does a green manure crop
increase crop yields? The addition
of plant materials increases the
organic matter in the soil- This re
sults in physical improvement of|
the soil and stimulates the growth,
of soil bacteria and other elements |
which help make plant food avail
able. The chemical reactions or
processes are among these other
elements that benefit from an in
crease of organic matter in the
soil. When legumes are turned un
der, there is in addition to these
benefits an increase in the nitrogen
content of the soil.
In the United States as well as
everywhere else, the soils which
are best supplied with organic mat
ter are in general the soils which
which produce the largest crops.
As a soil becomes depleted of its
organic matter, its ability to pro
duce high yields of good crops de
clines.
Decayed plant material is the
source of practically all organic
matter in the soil. The roots of
plants have undoubtedly been the
greatest source of organic matter,
and the roots of farm crops add
much to the organic matter in the |
soil. In many cases, the roots are
practically the only source.
Even when a green manure
crop is turned under, not all of the
material becomes part of the hu
mus. A large part of the plant ma
terial escapes from the soil in the
form of carbon dioxide in the pro
cess of decaying. In a hot climate,
on sandy soils the loss may be so
great that no permanent benefit
will be noted from turning under
a green manure crop.
A single green manure crop turn
ed under will not add a great a
mount of organic matter to the
soil. For instance, a crop of vetch
yieling a ton of dry matter per
acre will lose 50 per cent of its
weight in the process of decay as
carbon dioxide. The remaining 1,
000 pounds will become part of the
soil humus, for a limited time. If
a soil contains 2 per cent of or
ganic matter in the surface or top
soil, the organic matter in the acre
will weigh approximately 40,000
pounds. By adding 1,000 pounds a
year, it will. take 40 years to doub
le the amount of organic matter,
even if all of the new organic mat
ter was retained permanentelj
each year. It can be seen that the
main objective of green manuring
is to maintain rather than to in
crease the quantity of organic mat
ter in the soil.

"The job we face is one of main
taining the land now in use at
levels that will assure continued
abundance of food and fiber. We
need to offset soil deterioration
generally, and on many soils we
need to go even further and rebuild
them after years of misuse."
Tilman R. Walker, chairman of
the Agricultural Stabilization and

says that statement pretty well

1958 Agricultural Conservation
Program
As Walker sees it, the first job
of ACP is to check deterioration,
to prevent the soil from becoming
less productive as the top layer of
topsoil is washed or blown away.
But hand in Hand with thi9 is the
job of rebuilding our agricultural
resources for a long pull ahead.
Cropping, as well as erosion, de
pletes the soil of plant food. Walk
er pointed out that on an acre of
fertile soil growing a cultivated
crop such as corn, the break-down
of the soil may be as great as
when 20 tons of topsoil are lost
through erosion
Walker stressed the fact that our
nation is now faced with the chal
lenge of adjusting production to
current needs, and at the same
time keeping our land in condition
to meet the greatly increased de
mands of our rapidly growing pop
ulation within the foreseeable fu
ture. The Agricultural Conserva
tion Program, he points out, is one
of the tools available to farmers to
help them protect, preserve and
rebuild the soil on their farms.
Farm records should be used to
guide production of all crops and
livestock.
