become higher than the rest of
the field. By plowing away from
the open ditch several times with
a tractor and disc tiller plow, Mr.
Cooke will be able to move this
soil bank back into the field and
have a well shaped channel that
can be mowed and kept maintain
ed with a lot less labor than It
formerly required.

Fred O. Parrish, of Castalla,
Route 1 will assist Soil Conserva
tion Service Technicians in estab
lishing such soil conserving prac
tices as meadow strips, terraces,
wildlife borders, pastures, -kudzu ;
and sericea lespedeza, crop rota
tions, winter cover crops, fish
ponds, and woodland management
on the farms in his community.
A plan is now underway whereby
a local man in each of the ten,
townships of the County can be
employed on a daily basis by the
Soil Conservation Service to work
with the fartners in his commun
ity in establishing soil conserving
practices. The District Supervis
ors feel that more farms can bo
reached in this way and more
work established.

TIMELY FAKM QUESTIONS
QUESTION* : When should I
select my turkeys* for breeding?
ANSWER: Now is just the
time, because the major market
ing season is coming soon. Too
often the selection of birds for
breeding is postponed until the
last minute and, as a result, many
birds that should be kept as
breeders find their way to market.
Selection of toms- Is Important be
cause the torn has a much greatei
influence than the hen in th?
flock. Selected toms should be
well developed, free from pin
feathers, and reasonably fat.
Birds with extremely long or
short shanks should not be saved
as breeders. Bird's with such ab
normalities as crooked breasts
should go to market. Reserve
more toms than needed beeause
replacements may be required
and they may be hard to find la
ter.

QUESTION: Will fertilizer ap
plied to snipll grains at planting
pay.
ANSWER: Under most condi
tions, the answer is yes. Follow
ing such heavily fertilized crops
as tobacco and cotton, fertilizer
at planting does not usually give
a response, according to Exten
sion specialists. They suggest
300 pounds of 4-10-6 or 4-8-8 per
acre in the Coastal Plain, or a
like amount of 0-12-12 on fer
tile soils or where legumes have
been turned under. In the Pied
mont or Mountain sections, he
suggests 300 pounds of 4-12-4 or
3-12-6, or a like amount of 0-14-7
on fertile soils or following le
gjumes turned under.

QUESTION: I am a backyard
poultryman. My hens have stop
ped laying. What should I do,
ANSWER: You should have
pullets rather than hens. Under
the present conditions, you should
cull your flock to the limit, keep
the late moulters that laid
through September, and1 plan to
raise a good crop of young pul
lets next year, culling them as
they go out of production. Pro
duction in the second year is
about 25 per cent less than in the
first year of lay. Because of high
feed costs, cull out all unprofita
ble birds at the earliest possible
moment. The city producer
should keep only pullets, culling
