Food production still remains a paramount problem because millions of hungry people must be fed. The development of new mar kets to hedge against the time when surpluses of farm produets may occur, is a ‘musi” for the immediate future of agriculture. WAR BONDS . . . your way la back the Wacs, Waves Conservation Farming News By W. O. HOOPER Saying “good-bye” to farmer friends in Alleghany county is like leaving home the first time to work among strangers. Then you wonder if anything is worth as much as the warm friendship that you are leaving. Reminiscing may be dangerous, but let’s look back over the past four years since the New River Soil Conservation District has been in operation with D. M. Ed wards and Alton Thompson serv ing as supervisors and giving most generously of their time without pay, thus making it pos sible for a full-time conserva tionist to devote his efforts to the number one problem of our country; namely, the conservation of life-giving topsoil—topsoil, which even now appears less bountiful than we need, but which must support human life as long as there is any. We are gradually realizing that topsoil is only a few inches deep, that we can improve it but not make it, that when it is gone we have nothing valuable left, and that it is slipping away more rap idly than we ever dreamed. We are learning that this good earth is ours, but to keep it ours, we must lock the soil particles with vegetation so thick that rain can never steal it away. We are First Complete Pipe Factory of the South Sparta, N. C. D. & P. PIPE WORKS Pioneer Briar Block Factory Boone, N. C. Our organization is aware of the changes, happening every minute.

We are learning that moderate slopes can be safely cultivated if strips of grass are left every fifty or sixty feet to catch the soil particles. More over, we are learning that plants, like animate, must be fed. So, it seems that this beautiful Alleghany coun:y needs the co operative efforts of all concerned in promoting a better agriculture where better opportunities may attract the finest youth in the world until they will stay at home and serve their own people.
