The Cherokee County Soil Con
servatioo District, in cooperation
with the soil Conservation Servce
ha* Just completed another very
successful year of operation. Dur
ing this year a large acreage of
Cherokee County land has been
brought under cooperative agree,
ment with the Soil Conservation
District. Fifty farms covering more
than five thousand acres of land
were brought into the Soil Conser
vation program by the farm own
ers. Complete soil and water con
servation plans were developed by
the owners of forty four farms and
the technicians of the Soil Conser
vation Sen-ice.
The Soil Scientists of the Soil Coik.
servatiou Service made soils maps
of more than fourteen thousand
acres of Cherokee County la 1
during the year. The larger portion
of this mapping was done for a
special survey which is being car
ried out by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture in every county of
the United States.
The remaining portion was done
for the purpose of making land
capability maps of individual farms,
from which maps arc developed the !
Soil and Water Conservation plans.
One of the larger items o.' conser
vation accomplished was the seeding
or re-seeding of more than two
thousand acres of improved, pasture, j
Another important item, although !
the total acreage involved is small,
is natural reforesiion. Forty four
acres of land on the farms of Dis
trict Cooperators was allowed to
re-seed naturally to shortleaft pine
or yellow poplar. Practically all of
this land acreagc is land that has
been in pasture but which is too 1
steep, too shallow, and too stony to
make good pasture. There are hund- j
reds of acres of this type of land I
which should be allowed to reseed
naturally to forest trees.
Soil Conservation records show a
total of only thirty three acres wTTich
was reforested by planting. This
acreage is rather low. but the total
acreage for the county which was
re-planted to trees is in excess of
250 acres.
Eighteen farmers who have be
come district cooperators wiih the
Cherokee County Soil Conservation
District completed all of the praci
ices planned to carry out a complete
soil and water conservation plan on
their farms. The acreage involved
in these farms is one thousand seven
ty six acres.

about the success University of
California scientists were having

many bacteria and fungus troubles.
Now enmes asparagus juce to the
forefront.
Tun scientists at the University
rr Maiyland, while making a state,
wide survey of nematodes, found
that t'hey had no use for asparagus
plants. Following this clue, they
discovered that just the plain juice
(Xtracted trim plants killed all
kinds of nematodes? root knot,
stint?, stubby ront and meadow.
They also found that the juice, even
in diluted concentration, gave con
siderable protection from this pest
when poured around the roots of
tomato plants. Further tests showed
that spraying the juice formulation
on the leaves of the tomato plants
was even more effective than root
treatment indicating systemic pro

small amount of moisture. Upon

deadline comes eight years from
the time of his discharge.
This is a final cut-off affecting

Artificial breeding service for
dairy animals is available in about
75 North Carolina counties.
USDA reports one farmer may
take care of SO milking cows today
where he could l^andle IS to 20 in
1939.
Forecasters estimate that 150
million acres of cropland will be
covered up in the next 60 years with
factories, roads, bouses, airports,
etc.
A properly constructed ridge ven
tilator correctly used can cut fuel

Next Fall %+,
The loog summer lies ahead
school seems tar off. but now I*
the time to make sure your child
will be in the best of condition
when school begins.
You will have time during the
summei- to do whatever needs to
be done.
Hake an appointment with your
doctor and have a complete phys
ical examination for each one of
your children. Talk over with your
doctor any and all problems you
have with the children.
Johnny has had a lot of sore
throats this last winter and a few
times he has had infected ears. Is
his hearing normal now? Maybe
his tonsils are badly infected and
should come out. Your doctor will
not advise operation unless it is
necessary. We don't any longer
drag out tonsils just becausc they
are big. But if they really are in
bad shape, spring is the ideal iime
to have them removed.
How about weight and nutrition?
Has your youngster gained enough
and not too much? Maybe you
need to look into his diet more
carefully ? too many snacks and
not enough muscle building staples.
Maybe it is a little extra sleep he
needs.
How about eyes? Kvcry child
should have an eye test oupc a
year. If your child lias had trouble
in school, make very sure you get
both his vision and his hearing
checked. No children can learn well
if he cannot see the blackboard or
hear the teacher clearly.
Is his posture good, are his mus
cles firm and strong? Is his color
good?
Talk over with your doctor your
plans for the summer. Try to sec
that whatever your plans, (here is
plenty of time and opportunity for
good play outdoors.
For some children some weeks
at camp are wonderful? but not for
all children. And if you are plann
ing to send a child to camp make
sure that the camp will give your
child what he needs. A timid, shy
child has quite different needs

Going to be in the city all summer
a youngster may be a lot better

And one more thing? don't forget
the child's teeth. Plan a visit to
the dentists in the spring and ge
any needed dental work attended
to before fall.
Now b The
Time To
Plant Yam Crop
Not year's nNrt potato crop
should start now? with, the plant
ing of adequate quality vine cut
tine* ?o be used as seed stock.
Henry Covington, horticulture
specialist (or the N. C. Agricultur
al Extension Service, says you
can't beat vine cuttings for produc
ing a crop free of scurf and UsA
rot. And this is the time of year to
make vine cuttings ? even if the
plants the cuttings come from have
one or both of the diseases.
Covington suggests farmers sUrt
taking cuttings when they can get
one 10 to 12 Inches long. The earlier
you plant, the bigger the yield.
But don't make the mistake of
making cuttings from poor plants.
Select the best available plants,
then make your cuttings.
The specialists recommend one
tenth acre of vine cuttings for
every acre of sweet potatoes you
expect to grow next year.
