Less Than Acre Of Land
’’s Feed For Team
One of many exattj^s of what Kudzu can do is shown
by these pictures taken on P. E. Brown’s farm in Mul
berry township. On the left are shown only a part of
the hay stacks, totaling five tons, which were produced
on the eight-tenths of an acre of steep slope Shown on
the right. In the hay^ck picture P. W.-Edwards, head
of the WiIkesb(HX>^\aiiit ;tf the Soil Conservation Service,
is showing the quality of the hay to T. W',
pervisor of the Tri^teek.BOil district, of which Wilkes
is ft part. (Photo by Pwight Nichols).
Over five tons of hany, enough
roughage for a team of mules for
an entire year, was produced on
a plot of land measuring about
eight-tenths of one acre. That is
the record of Kudzu production
on the farm of Ex-sheriff P. E.
Brown in Mulberry township.
And the enormous crop of high
quality hay was trken from a
plot of land on a hillsiile, too
steep for good production of row
crops, and which would have been
an eye-sore on the farm had.it
not been covered in a soil con
serving crop to prevent erosion.
After taking aw?y five tons of
good hay, the land was left with
a good mulch of leaves and ^ems
—in a far greater state of fortui
ty than it had before the Kudzu
was produced.
P. W. Edwards, head of the
Wilkes division of the Tri-Creek
Soli district, said the Kudzu was
placed on the-land some time ago.
In the spring this year the soli
wag disced and one bag of ferti
lizer was applied. That repre
sented the total lOst and labor
on the plat of ground until the
'big crop of hay was cut and re
moved a few days ago.
Ektwards said there are about
260 acres of Kudzu in Wilkes
and. that mnny more acres will be
