FERTILE LAND IS ESSENTIAL Wartime demands placed a heavy strain upon the Nation's farm land. Brunswick County farmers put their "hands to the p'ow" and went all-out to produce their share of the crops and livestock products needed to win the wai. In this magnificent effort, they willingly sub jected their land to undue erosion hazards and exces sive soil depletion by growing record acreages of row crops. Now that the war is over, farmers once again can turn their efforts to restoring the fertility of the soil. Fertile land is essential to production of adequate sup plies of agricultural products necessary to keep us a strong and healthy people. The 1946 Agricultural Conservation Program for Brunswick County is aimed at assisting farmers in car rying out a sufficient volume of those practices which will rebuild and conserve the County's most valuable resource ? its native soil.
