NEED FELT IN STATE ;
FOR WORK ANIMALS
_i
North Carolina farmers must re
place about 22,000 horses and mules
each year. 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

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.
