ThP wiflespread nsp of winter
legtinien and grasses, use of green
mamire and cover crops, applica
tion of lime and phosphate, atld
other soil-building practices Of
the agricultural conservation
program have helped to prepare
.North Carolina farms for war
time production, according to O.
T. Pcott. chairman of the State
AAA Committee.
Pointing to results of the
program, Mr Scott said the state
average yield for cotton had been
increased from about 250 pounds
per acre during the 1928-32 pe
riod to more than 350 pounds
during the past three years. To
bacco yields were Increased from
685 to 980 pounds per acre. Corn,
oat. wheat, and hay yields per
acre have been Increased 15 to
20 per cent, and the grazing ca
pacity of pastures also has been
improved greatly.
“High prodjictlou yields cannot
be overemphasized during this
Important agricultural year,’’
Mr. Scott said. “Every acre of
cropland must produce to its
maximum capacity for our far
mers to contribute their full share
to the nation’s war effort-’’
The 400,000 tons of limestone
used by North Carolina farmers
last year under the agricultural
conservation prognfun was about
four and one-half times the 1936-
39 average, and the amount of
superphosphate was about elx
times the 1936-39 average. Both
are furnished as conservation
materials under the AAA program
without an Immediate outlay of
cash.
Field demonstrations show that
yields of crops like cotton and
corn are greatly Increased when
preceded by a good growth of
winter legumes which have been
turned under to enrich the soil
with nitrogen and humus. Phos
phate and lime enable the leg
umes to reach sufficient growth
to be turned under before plant-
In offices, fadories, shipyards and workshops, tho pause fhof
rehashes with tceold Coca-Cola is a pleasant moment on the
sonny side of things. This welcome drink is the way to turn
to refreshment without turning from work. When you work
refreshed, you do more work and better work.
