r^l?40 is an ideal year in Frank
lin County for Improving t?he
fui 1119 and controlling erosion an
nounces W. C. Boyce, County
Agent. Labor in Franklin County,
is abundant and that labor can be
used profitably during the year to
ward improving the farm with
small expenditures. Important I
Steps are necessary if Franklin I
County farmers are to produce!
profitable yields of small grains !
including wheat, oats, rye, barley
and corn in the future. Increased
production of these crops are nec
essary to a profitable production
of livestock and their products.
Oats have u feeding value approx
imately equal to that, of corn and
is a valuable substitute for corn
in feeding work stock and cattle. !
Oats are close growing plants and
effectively control erosion during
the growing period. It is also i i
suitable grain clop to follow i?es- j
pedeza, soybeans, or cowpeasl1
plowed under in early Fall. j
Tobacco farmers do not. like to i
glow tobacco behind legumes j
however, on most farms much less I '
than one-half of the land is actual- 1
ly ever planted to tobacco; there- i '
tore, a concerted effort should be ' 1
made to improve the fertility of I
those fields that' are not to be ' '
planted In tobacco that a more 1 1
profitable yield of other crops I
may be made. 1
Contrary to general opinion le-"! i
gume crops Including lespedeza I1
cowpeas, soybean*, velvet beans, '
Austrian winter peas, crimson i '
clover, and vetch do not improve i '
soil when cut for hay; however,
they do not' control erosion during i
growing period. According to I
Henry and Morrison's "Feeds and I
Feediag" 100 pounds of soybean
hay contains 2 37-100 pounds of I
nitrogen, 25-100 of a pound of
phosphorous, 82-100 of a pound'
of potassium, and 96-100 of a '
pound of calcium. On this basis
one ton of soybean hay contains j
nitrogen equivalent to that car- 1 1
ried in 206 pounds of 16c; Nitrate !?
of Soda; phosphorous equivalent 1
to Mia t carried in f. 7 1 2 pounds of
16% phosphate; potassium equiv- <
alent to that carried in 3!> 6-10
pounds of f. 0 % potash: and cal- 1
cium equivalent to that carried <
by !)3 !t-10 of dolomitie limestone.
It*, this plant food other t?han
nitrogen is not applied to soil in
the form of commercial fertilizer,
phosphate, potash, or lime, it can 1
easily be seen how a few heavy <
crops of legume hay will remove |
the available plant nutrients in- :
eluding phosphate, potassium, and
calcium from Mie soil. This plant
removal is not only true of soy
bean hay but is approximatelv
correct for .all legume hays.
Many farmers have inquired as j
to what legume crops were the '
best soil building crops when
plowed under. It can be observed ;
from the foregoing information I
that the improvement is in direct '
proportion to the quautity of!
dried matter produced and plowed !
! under. I am sure it can be stated |
| that the legume crop that will j
| produce the largest quantity of |
dry feed is the best soil building
?legume for your farm providing!
:ii fit?3 in with your funning sys
item. One legume crop producing
! two tons per acre will improve
j land as much as two crops pro
| ducing one ton per acre.
Fifteen combine harvesters can
be accounted for in Franklin
i County and many other farmers
I are trying to harvest seed on their
farm by other means. Where far
I mers are endeavoring to improve
t'helr soil with legume crops, it is
| profitable to use phosphate, pot- t
ash. and lime and possibly nitro- I
gen that the land will produce an '
increased quantity of Beed and
dry matter. These materials are
also profitable and necessary on I
pastures. When the pasture is
(consumed by livestock, these ma
terials in the feed go to produce
bone growth and proteins in meat,
milk, eggs, and other livestock
| products.
[ Franklin County farmers real
izing the value of these materials
have ordered as Grant of Aid
through Agricultural Conservation
Program, four cars of lime and
one car of triple superphosphate
j most of which is to be anplled on
legume crops and pastures. Kach
1500 pounds of lime applied will
count one unit or $1.50 toward I
earning soil building goal Each

300 pounds of 16% phosphate, or

For constipation and its strength
: sappi'ig symptoms; headache, bil

The census in 1790 ? one hun
dred and fifty years ago ? gave
the population of Franklin Coun
ty at 7.559. I don't know the
number of its inhabitants ten
years ago, hub as this is a census
year we may know pretty soon
how the good county has been
progressing as to numbers during
the past century and a half.
Rowan County had the largest
population of 15,878, and Halifax
was next with 13.965. Brunswick
stood at the bottom with 3,071.
There were only 53 counties then.
