Improved Farm Practices And
Better Yields Described By
Farmers At Kiwanis Meeting
<
Interesting Talks Made By
Several Farmers At Meet
ing Held Here Last
Week.
Farmers from several sections
of the county told Kiwanians of
improved practices, improved
yields, and why changes had been
made necessary in several lines.
James W. Dickson, of the Deer
Park farm, told of his project for
growing soy beans for hay and
seed which has proven very satis
factory, and especially so since la
bor has become scarce.
G. H. Farley, farm manager at
Brevard College, told of his poul
try project which is making mon
ey, and of his modern laying house
which was planned several years
ago by Edward Glazener, an adult
student in agriculture at the local
college.
Phosphate Is Important
T. J. Wilson, triple-A chairman
for the county, said that during
the past three years more than
50,000 pounds of crimson clover
seed had been brought into the
county and sowed, in addition to
the home-grown seed. Mr. Wil
son said that 375 cars of lime had
also been bought by local farm
ers co-operatively, and that phos
phate furnished by the TV A had
also been a mighty factor in im
proved pastures and other crops.
He told of one instance where he
had a meadow on his farm that
had practically died out—after top
dressing with lime and phosphate
the seemingly dead meadow was
cut with a disc and a brand new
meadow of first class type in ev
ery way was result, with an abun
dance of white clover coming up
where to his own knowledge there
had been no such seed in years.
Milk Prices Too Low
Charles W. Davis, of Connestee,
said that one of the great needs in
this section was a milk subsidy or j
else a raise in OPA ceiling prices
on this commodity. Mr. Davis said |
that cost of milk production had
increased one-third or more dur-!
ing the past two years and that it!
had practically made the produc- j
tion of milk prohibitive. Mr. Dav-'
is said he was turning his farm
into beef and poultry raising, and
that he hoped to recoup his losses
thereby.
J. George Beddingfield, of the
Boheny section, told of improved 1
practices that he had substituted i
on his mountain farm in the ex
>-—___
treme upper end of the county,
and of his continued following of
improved and planned farm prac
tices suggested by the county ag
ent’s office, and of the decided in
crease in profits therefrom. Lime,
prosphates, and crop rotation have
been used by Mr. Beddingfield to
bring about better conditions on
his farm. He said that he had been
able to increase corn yield from 12
bushels per acre to better than 40
bushels, that with use of lime and
phosphates he had a pasture now
where before he had no grazing
at all. He grows hay and corn on
his farm, along with beef cattle.
Praises The Silo
Mr. Beddingfield said that a
trench silo is a fanner’s best
friend, and that it insured against
loss in haying when the rainy sea
sons come. Cheaper feeding is
possible in this county, Mr. Bed:
dingfield said, where trench silos
are used. The new Sequoia po
tato has been proven better than
the Green Mountain or Irish Cob
bler by two-year experiments on j
this farm.
E. Carl Allison of Cherryfield, j
said his farm was considered black
land, and that he considered corn
and hay his best crops. However,
peppers, beans, and cucumbers
were successfully raised by a con
tract trucker on large scale on his
lands the past season. Judicial
use of lime is a great boon to any
farm, Mr. Allison said, but warn
ed that soil tests should be made
through the county agents office
before deciding on an excessive
amount of lime per acre. Mr. Al
lison holds a record in this coun
ty of having produced 137V2 bush
els of corn on one acre of land,
and 592 bushels on a five-acre
tract.
County Agent Julian Glazener
had charge of the program, which
was of much interest to majority
of the Kiwanians, most of whom
have either been raised on the
farm, or are doing gardening since
the war started.
The Club voted to contribute
$25.00 to the United War Fund,
after the matter was presented by
Jerry Jerome.

FARM INCOME GOING UP
L
EACH SYMBOL EQUALS ONE BILLION DOLLARS
—Ettinger Research
IF 1943 farm production goals are attained, the estimated cash farm
income for 1943 will reach $17,500,000,000, exclusive of benefit pay
ments. In the chart above this figure can be compared with the cash
income to farmers in other recent years. Cost of production* has also
risen over the period since 1939, but even taking this into consideration
the general farm picture is regarded, as satisfactory. For the first time
in 20 years farm prices have reached parity with other prices. (Interna

There is an active committee in
the board of trustees which will
promote the program, and a com
mittee of interested persons out
side the board is now being form
ed.
“Money will be raised for at
least three buildings, and they
will be erected in the order nam
ed: a science building, a dormi
tory, and a library. Members of
the board are expecting to raise
at least $500,000.00 for the per
manent endowment fund of the
college. The campaign to raise
funds will be conducted quietly
by contacts with men and women
who are especially interested in
the college. After this there will
probably be a campaign designed
to reach the average person who
may have money to give to the
cause of Christian education.”
CONCERT AT ROSMAN
The Drake sisters, of. Hender

Asheville will give a concert in
