So far these replacements are being shipped into the State and it each animal costs only $150 a head, Tarheel farmers must spend a gross of $0,000,000 to replace their failing work animals. I l “Few horses or mules are seen in cities and towns but out in the country, this form of power is still used almost exclusively by land owners," declares Prof. Fred M. Haig of the animal husbandry de partment at State College. “At. pres ent, we have 75,000 horses and 205,000 mules in the State. Tho' verage life of these animals is about 15 years which makes it necessary for Tarheel farmers to epiace about 22,000 animals each year. As most of these animals are P purchased from, without the borders ■f the State, this constitutes a heavy (jraku-qyjn4h8 "fom-liiCbiiiir^ TtfRefore, Prof. Haig advises that at least enough colts be grown at borne for replacement purposes. j This can be made practically a noncash cost, he says, because teed grown at home on adjusted acres might, be used to grow the colts at little cost. The colts could be broken to harness when coming three years of ago and if wisely handled will make excellent work animals. Three things are essential for, success in raising colts at home, ’ Haig says. First select good mares' and high ciass stallions or jacks. Take good care of the mare and feed her properly while she carries the colt Then, while the foal is growing, I handle him with gentleness and see that he is properly fed __ I To Preach at Calvert The Rev.

C. Kilpatrick Funeral Home C C. Kilpatrick, Owner & Mgr. The washing away of tho Tennessee Valley's topsoil wealth, In some in stances almost unchecked for genera tions, is now being combatted by land owners of the region, in cooperation with their county agents and tho Ten nessee Valley Authority, in both fields and forests by the most efficient and economical methods yet employed by government experts. Warfare on soli erosion takes two forms: readjustment of farming prac tices, and the use of practical forestry methods. The necessity for checking erosion is, similarly, two-fold. From the farmer’s standpoint, erosion repre sents a considerable annual loss of the fertility of the soil from which he draws his living. Engineers are concerned with the problem of erosion because deposits of slit reduce the usefulness of reservoirs created by such structures as Wilson dam at Mus cle Shoals, Joe Wheoler dam 161 mile* above it, and the Norris dam neaT Knoxville—the latter two now under construction by the Tennessee Valley Authority. Engineers estimate that storage ca pacity of th^ Wlhww)- •ww»1, V a decade. ■fl! wiped out In the course of yeerHJ whereas, the dams themselves are constructed to stand (or many c.en> turles. New Methods Used The methods of combatting erosion perhaps most familiar to farmers are the building of terraces on sloping lands and the piling of brushwood In gullies. Nowadays, farmers of the Tennessee Valley are making addi tional use of vines, bushes and sap lings by practicing forestry methods of erosion. The accompanying "before-and-si —--! --mm in m ~ urT i mm ~r-- — ter" photographs, taken in West Ten nessee, prove what can be done by seen methods. Picture No. i. shows a farmer plowing down a badly washed fiieee of land during the winter sea son when he has time (or such odd jobs as efosion control. Picture No. 2 was taken 12 years later. The same spot now shows, instead of bare sub soil incapable of producing anything, & fine stand of black locust which will be cut for fence posts In a few years. In addition, yearly layers of fallen leaves and other decaying vegetation are building up a new and fertile top soil so that future tree growth will be speeded. Successful Projects Visited These photographs wore exhibited during a recent conference at Jackson, Tenneseee, of foreatora from Tennes see, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri and Mississippi which was attended by Edward C. M. Richards, chief forester of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Tb9 subject of the meeting was the part that practical forestry plays in check ing soil erosion. A two-day field trip, including such successful projects as the one pictured, demonstrated con '"““"’'Tnimr^ffliiiiiig acres of land surrounding the Norris dam reservoir Already these method# are being prac ticed, by contract with (he owners, on 25,000 acres of such lands. In addition, the Authority Is urging farmers of the Norris dam watershed to build terraces, fill in gullies, and plant sod-formUiy crops—not to pre vent the Norris dam pool from filling with sill, but to Improve and enrich their own Iando.
