Carolina Conservation Farming News By W. O. HOOPER Carl Brown, veteran demonstra tion farmer of the Turkey Knob community, has experimented and closely observed the result! of pasture treatment for several years. He has demonstration plots to show where lime and phosphate together has produced excellent pasture grasses and practically destroyed broom sedge. Neither lime nor phos phate alone has done very much good and the untreated pasture is practically worthless. Mr. Brown has also experimented with vary ing amounts of lime and has > found that over a period of years, one ton per acre has given best results. In Mr. Brown’s practical opin ion, many farmers are wasting valuable materials each year by making improper use of lime and phosphate and are, •onsequently, damaging thdnselves with poor production. Of even greater im portance is the fact that poor stands of grass allow large quan tities of topsoil to wash away, robbing the land of its produc tive power. One of the most de plorable things, according to Mr. Brown, is the way that so many farmers are using too much lime on some fields, when other Helds are suffering in their need for treatment. Too much lime, he has found, actually decreases produc tion of corn, grain, and truck crops; therefore, he advises one ton of lime per acre until the en- j tire, farm has been treated. rVT.

There is something in the very season of the year that gives charm to the festivity of Christmas. —Washington Irving Whether Christmas be white or green, we hope it will be full of charm for you and yours, with an abundance of all the good things that are part of happy Yuletide .. • No Vacations For Christmas Atlanta—Major General Fred erick E. Uhl, Commanding Gen eral, the Fafirth Service Com mand, today appealed to all war production plants to maintain lull schedules through the Christmas season. Christmas Day only should be observed as a holiday, and only in plants where continuous opera tions will not be interrupted. General Uhl called attention to the need for continued operations of such facilities as blast furnaces and open furnaces producing car bon steel on Christmas Day. New Year’s Day should be an other day of production—a good start toward victory in 1945. General Uhl called attention to a statement by Lieutenant Gen eral Brehon Somervell, Com manding General, the Army Serv ice Forces, that “unless manpow er is found to meet deficiencies in critical items like tires, am i munition, heavy artillery, radar, batteries and bombs, textiles and assault wire, we have every rea son to expect a shortage at the front” General Uhl added: “A drop in production would indeed be a sorry Christmas present from the American people to their soldiers at the front. "I feel sure that our workers will respond to our appeals to maintain production schedules and to return to war work from peacetime jobs.” Cherry Lane News Mrs. Ella Franklin is visiting her aunt, Mrs. Joe Blackburn for a few days.
