CONSERVATION NEWS By L. B. HAIRR Cecil Gibson of Glenwood, with the assistance of Clint Simmons and his tractor, reworked his terraces last week. Mr. Gibson says he finds it pays to keep his terraces with a broad base and wide flow line. They will hold and carry more water than narrow terraces. J. D. Miller, District Conserva tionist from Newton, and J. R. Herndon, Zone Conservationist, from the regional office of the Soil Conservation Service, Spartanburg, S. C., visited this work unit recently. While these men were in the county they visited several farmers that are applying soil conservation practices to their farms. W. L. Greenlee, Dis trict Supervisor, and others assist ed the Conservationists in making their visits to the several farms. C. C. Woody of Greenlee says the ditch through his wet bottom land is really doing a good job. Mr. Woody states that this wet area has dried so that he plans to use the tractor and disc in preparing a seed bed for grass and clover here. "The three main causes of acci ednts are: I didn't see; I didn't think, and I didn't know."

This the 10th day of February 1949.. PAUL J. STORY, Trustee Hybrid Corn Makes Better Yield (By S. L. Homewood, County Agent) For the past four years the Coun ty Agents office has carried on work with with a number of farm ers in order to get the most suitable varieties of hybrid corn for McDow ell County. In 1948 the following farmers carried these demonstra tions out on their farms: Elmer Bu chanan, Dysartsville section; John i A. Early, Crooked Creek section; Guy Little, Providence section; J. C. Rabb, Pleasant Gardens section; Willie Elliott, Air Port section, and Nolan Lawing, of the Greenlee sec tion. In these demonstrations the fol ! lowing varieties of hybrid corn were j planted, and we feel we got suffi ! cient results to recommend these I varieties; leading in all demonstra tions was US 282 with 76,.68 bush | els per acre average for all the farrn i ers participating, second was N. C. T20 with 73.20 bushels, third, Ten nessee 10 with 72.48 bushels, fourth was N. C. 26 with 70.13 bushels, fifth, Dixie 17 with 67.49 bushels, ! sixth, open pollinated corn with 55.45 bushels, seventh was 1030 , with 54.03 bushels, eight was N. ID. 27 with 52.88 bushels, ninth, Ledford with 51,68 bushels, tenth jwas P170 with 43.85 bushels, and jthe eleventh was Greys with 41.06 I bushels. I i nis was tne results 01 ine iour | years of this demonstration. The i five leading hybrids have been lead j ing each year, although they have I shifted places as N. C. T20 was first j last year, and the year before Ten jnessee 10 was first. Four years ago ! US282 gave the highest yield. From jthe results of these demonstrations | we feel that we are safe in recom | mending these hybrids. Three of j them are being produced in Mc Dowell County, therefore seed will be available for this planting season. The varieties grown were US 282, Dixie 17, and N. C. 720. There has been one noted condition with the hybrid corn, and that is the seeds that were produced locally here in !the County produced 8 to 25 bushels jmore corn per acre than seed that ,'was ordered from outside the Coun jty. : It is hoped that every farmer iwho plans to plant corn in 1949 will 'study these figures and get the hy 1 brid most suited for their local con I 1 ditions. ! Clyde Gilliam in the Crooked Creek section has been producing j hybrid corn for seed for the last ; four years, and was the first pro i ducer of hybrid seed corn in the , County. He started producing US 1282 in 1944 and is still producing | this variety. Howard Lawing, of the Glenwood section, has been producing N. C. T20 for the past two years. There is still need for other hybrid seed i corn growers in the County, as these I producers have not been able to pro {duce enough for the demand. Hybrid 1 corn alone will not make big yields, but with proper seed, proper seed bed preparation, the right fertili zer, the correct methods of cultiva tion it will make better yields.

TALL TALES By ELIZABETH WHITTEN Walking down the street one 1 morning I watched the town sprink- < ler wash trash up on the cement parking space at a filling station. ' In a few moments the man at the £ filling station came out with a hose and washed the trash back into the street. ] f Bit of conversation overheard in a cafe: ( And boss said to me, be nice to • the customers and try to sell to ^ them. And I said to him: 'what customers?' " Man is looking for a woman to work for him. Said he wanted a c teen-age girl who is nice looking, dresses well and doesn't care any thing about the boys. Should be an interesting case. ^ Woman went to visit a doctor. , Told him she didn't feel well. He • wrote a prescription for her, told her to come back in two weeks. Two weeks passed. She returned. Said she didn't feel well. "Are you taking the medicine regularly?" he asked. "You know I never did have that prescription filled. Do you think I should?" "Whatever you think," the doc-. tor smiled tolerantly. Man climbed the steep steps to s the court house until he reached the third floor. Just went up to ask the people there where the post office Woman went into a store to 1 ask if they had a cardboard box s they would give her to mail a pack age in. She followed the manager dow the vacant aisles to the counter the boxes were under. Just as he was up to his ears in boxes, she ex claimed: "Look quick! There's a customer coming in the door!" And there was the woman with three small children who went to visit the woman who doesn't have any children. In the midst of the :onversation the "woman without" grabbed the mother by the sleeve. "Look quick," she called excited y, "your child is still!" And the Mama and- Daddy who vere seated in the living room one ivening. All at once Mama said: "Daddy, you'd better go see a >out the children. They've been up tairs 15 minutes without fighting." Woman walked into the beauty larlor to make an appointment to ;et a permanent Tuesday. "I don't know what time I can ome," she explained, "but I want rou to be ready to take me when I ;et here." Woman called up a business firm me morning to know if they could tave a purchase wrapped when she ailed for it a little later in the dayt o she wouldn't have to wait. Cost f purchase—one nickel. And the woman who submitted er income tax blank to the collec or with the back of the blank cov red with names in tiny, fine writ ig, crowded close together. "What is all this?" he frowned, j "That word," she said, pointing to he form. "What word? Oh, dependants?" e smiled. j "Yes," she nodded, "they say hat means relatives. I have a few lore, but I couldn't get them all on here." Yes sir. One interesting thing a out newspaper work, you meet uch interesting people. EXIT CURE Visitor—'Do you like reciting lear?'
