Brooks of Cherrylane seeded some badly eroded land to serecia. The first year Mr. Brooks was disgusted be cause the growth was so small. The second year Mr. Brooks found he had something. At present he is cutting serecia hay from land that had not produced anything for many years. The Soil Conservation Service recommends a good seed bed on well drained land; three hundred pounds of phosphate and twenty five pounds of serecia per acre, seeded without clover. Mack Edwards of Whitehead seeded some alfalfa with other le gumes a few years ago and did not have the success he expected, j Last spring he planned a different method. First he had the soil an alized to determine the amount of fertilizer, lime and boron needed, then Mr. Edwards turned a good growth of crimson clover and pre- j pared a good seed bed, limed and fertilized according to needs. Thisj time he has a good stand of alfalfa that anyone would be proud of. Z. L. Rutherford purchased a badly eroded farm in the Mt. Zion community some years ago and started using lime, phosphate and legumes. These practices have im proved his farm beyond expection. The New River soil conservation district hopes to see Mr. Ruther ford strip cropping as another great improvement to his farm, thereby conserving as he builds. Earl Jarvis, one of Sparta’s; young farmers, is on the road to successful farming. He has had his entire farm sampled to see the needs of each field. Mr. Jarvis does not want to spend hard earn ed money for materials that are not necessary on his soil but does want it to have the materials needed for maximum production. He has seen that it does not pay to plow all of the hillside at one! time. Mr. Jarvis says, “when I plow a field it will be in strips.” The Soil Conservation Service recommends strip cropping as one of the best methods of farming for the conservation of soil and water, which is the source of all our food.
