Soil Conservation
In Wilkes
By R. E. DUNN and
JASPER G. CHIPMAN
In cooperation with the Tri
Creek Soil Conservation District,
Mr. A1 Maxwell, Farm Forester for
this district, recently marked 29
thousand board feet of timber for
selective cutting on the farm of
Mr. Stacy Huffman. Mr. Maxwell
states that this will be "a beauti
ful improvement cutting."
Mr. Otto Rhodes Of the Mtn.
View School Community, who is
using chicken manure from his
own poultry bouses to grow one
of the finest corn crops in Wilkes
County is finding that the same
treatment with the addition of
some lime and phosphate will
really grow pasture. Mr. Rhodes
pasture has been carrying almost
a cow to the acre land this spring
and is still In good shape. This
same land a few years ago would
not have grazed a Cow to four or
five acres.
The pines set on the farm of
Fred McNiel upon Elk Creek are
living good even on the more
galled areas. These pipes had the
advantage of being set early in
the spring.
Since Mr. Roscoe Hayes of
Hays, N. C. started improving his
pasture he says that he will need
twice the amount of cattle he
usually grazes to keep the grass
down. Mr. Hayes, is doing a fine
job of pasture and hayland im
provement.
CARD OP THANKS
We use this means to thank
neighbors and friends for their
kindness sympathy and many
flowers during the death and fun
eral of our husband and father.
