Stokes farmers continue to make work sheet 3 for co-opera- j ticm in the new crop program. Records on file in this office show that more than seventy per cent, of the county's farmers have made work sheets as required to qualify for grants or payments under the plan.i This is encouraging as it is a higher percentage than was at one time anticipated. It is be lieved that by the end of the month practically every one who could qualify f°r the grants of fered by the Federal Government this season will have made his work sheet. Build Terraces Now Notwithstanding tlje large acreages of land in this county which would be benefited by properly constructing terraces to control soil erosion, the terracing force and equipment is now en gaged for only a small part of the time. It is true that many of the more progressive farmers who are interested in con trolling erosion have their fields planted and are not in a position to have terracing done at this season of the year but there are I others who have idle land that could be terraced at a great sav ing and enhancement in the value of the property even now. The demand for terracing in the fall and spring is always greater than can be done. This seasonal demand can be reduced if more people will consider hav ing the work done at this season of the year. Demand for terracing and farm road construction work can be taken care of on short notice at any time within the next thirty days provided the volume of work is sufficient to justify moving the equipment to the community in which it is to be done. The demands for work al ter September Ist are already greater than can be met this fall. To Elect Community Committeemen Notices are going into the mail, beginning this week, calling at tention to the township meetings to be held (now and July Ist for the purpose of electing township committeemen. Any farmer own er or operator who can or al ready has made and signed the work sheet is eligible to vote in election. The committeemen will be elected by popular voto, three to the township. The Schedule of Township Meetings One meeting in each township will be held at the places and promptly at the hour given be low to elect committeemen to serve in the Soil Conservation Program during the coming year.

Schaub Comments On Program "Due to the unfavorable sea sons caused by the dry weather.' says Director Schaub of State College, "many of the farmers of the state have lost some of their legume crops such as les pedeza. especially where it wrs sown late in the spring, and a good many of the other legume crops have not been planted due to the unusual weather condi tions. These crops are necessary in order to qualify for the soil conserving payment under the Soil ConservaSion Program. "We would like to stress to every grower the importance of seed ing, before it is too late, a suffi cient acreage of " conserving crops in order to qualify for the soil conserving payment and as large a soil building payment as possible."

MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION 'UNITED STATES DEPOSITORY, STATE DEPOSITORY STATE PLAIITEPS Mil It WALNUT COVE, N. C. Page 3 He also states, "In this at alec we are allowed, for the year of 1936, to use soybeans and cow peas as conserving crops even though the hay is cut. This is a very liberal interpretation of con serving crops." "Realizing that legume seed is scarce, if peas or beans are planted in 2' 2 to 3 feet rows and cultivated once or twice, you will generally make as much hay as if the peas or beans are sown broadcast This will certainly make the seed go further and will enable the grower to receive hi s payments under the Soil Conservation Program." "The question frequently arises as to whether sorghum or Sudan grass sown with peas or beans for hay is soil conserving. If beans o•• peas predominate the acreage will count as c >nserving but if the sorghum or Sudan grass predominate the acreage will count as conserving but if the sorghum or Sudan graM predominates and is cut for hay the acreage will count as deplet ing." "Provision is being made in the classification of crops to pro vide that sorghum and rye lec't on the land and harvested will be classified as soil conserving for 1930." KIRBY, County Agent.
