Lespedeza One Valuable Crop Recognized By Farm Experts As A Legume That Checks Erosion and Adds To Fertility Of Land Lespedeza is recognized as one of the best crops a farmer can grow to conserve moisture, check erosion and add nitrogen and organic matter to the soil. Lespedeza fields also may be counted in a farmers' soil-conserving acreage, and they will help him earn soil-building payments under the soil-conservation program. February is the best time to sow Common, Tennessee 76. and Kobe lespedeza seed, said E. C.

The best method to sow these varieties is to drill the seed in on top of small grain, he said, with the seed not being drilled in too deep. Around 150 to 200 pounds of 16 per cent superphosphate to the acre should be drilled in with the seed. When drilling, 20 to 25 pounds of seed is adequate for an acre, but if the seed is broadcast, 40 | to 50 pounds will be needed to produce a good stand, Blair j added. When lespedeza is sown broadcast, the ground should be harrowed lightly either just before 'or just after the seed is sown, i Blair explained that when lespedeza is sown on land from which soil-depleting crops such as small grain are harvested this year, the acreage will be counted 50 per cent soil- conserving. But when lespedeza is grown 'on land where no soil-depleting crops are harvested, each acre of lespedeza will count as a full acre of soil-conserving crops in determining a grower's allowance.

The men declared that none of the stories of suffering were exaggerated. There was plenty of food available at all times, they siid, but drinking water was at a premium. One of the coast guardsmen declared that he didn't drink a quart of water in a week while in the flooded area. All of the local men were weary and suffering from exposure. Yete Midyette, one of the Oak Island coast guards to make the trip, was carried to the Brunswick County Hospital Tuesday morning suffering from a severe cold.

She also said that she wishes to write the story of the development of home demonstration work from the small handful of girls who were members of the first tomato club in 1911 to a State-wide institution reaching more than 55,000 rural girls and' women. For the past six or eight months. Dr. McKimmon has been editing "the very interesting things farm women write of their experiences in the country," and she said she would like to continue this work "in a more definite and organized way." In his reply, Dean Schaub paid high tribute to her "personality, enthusiasm, faith, and sound guidance" which he said have meant more to the rural life of | North Carolina than can be measured by ordinary standards, i "As a result of your efforts, Noi th Carolina is a better place in which to live," he told Dr. McKimmon. After expressing his regret over her resignation as State agent, the dean said, "We rejoice that we shall not lose you n,.t!,.ol?

In brief, when the basin is completed Southport will rank with Norfolk and Charleston as the home port and stopping point of hundreds of north and south-bound yachts.
