POLK FARMS AIDED
Under the 1951 Agricultural
Conservation Program, 258 farm
ers in Polk County were given as
sistance for the establishment of
i ,166 acres of permanent pastures.
Assistance represented 50% of the
cost of the materials with the
farmers doing all the work. Clint
Swain, chairman of the County
PMA Committee, reports this acre
age represents additional grazing
land for the increasing number of
livestock in the county.
Through the ACP, more and
more farmers in the State have
come to realize that livestock is
assuming a greater importance
each year in their farming system.
This has brought about an increas
ed emphasis on permanent pas
tures. not only for use as feed but
for its recognized value as a soil
improving and soil-saving measure.
Mr. Swain said that conserva
tion practices, encouraged bv the
ACP, have increased the yield of
pasture and forage crops, which is
reflected in current production of
livestock and livestock products.
The lime, phosphates and other
plant foods, which have been used
by farmers through cooperation
in the ACP, has stimulated soil
improvement through grasses and
legumes and has helped to build up
these pastures to their present
high yields.
Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Yeager of
Springfield, Mass., have arrived
at their Tryon home in the Valley.
