NORTHAMPTON COUNTY Soil Conservation Notes By JOHN B. LITCHFIELD Soil Censervoliofl Service Brucellosis Law Adoptd By State JACKSON — The new brucellosis requirement adopted by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture will become effective Dec. 1, according to Doug Eason of the extension service. A change in the standards of the NCDA will require that all swine sold or offered for sale for breeding purposes shall originate from a validated brucellosis-free herd. The sale of swine for breeding purposes from a non-validated herd will be in violation of the new law. Producers that wish to sell breeding stock can easily have their herd validated. One^ negative blood test fori brucellosis (bangs) of all breeding stock six months old or older will qualify a herd for validation. County Foresters Cited JACKSON — Nine Northampton farmers were| awarded certificates Tuesday by the Northampton Forestry Association for conducting forest management programs on their farms. The certificates were handed out following a forest tour sponsored by the W. P. Morris Lumber Co. with Jasper Eley as tour guide. The awards were given Z. L. Davenport Jr. of Gumberry, Marion Lassiter of Conway, G. E. Fisher and Fletcher Bryant of Pendleton, Herbert Eastwood and P. A. Bullock of Seaboard, Travis Taylor of Galatia, Joseph Long and Henry Ricks of Seaboard. Woodlands on the tour included the Bill Long tract at Occoneechee Neck, the Jesse Wheeler tract on Rich Square Road and the river tract on the W. P. Morris Ranch. An annual negative test is then required to maintain the validated status. The state will furnish a veterinarian for the initial test; however, the subsequent annual tests must be made at the producers expense. Many commercial producers have engaged in the practice of selling gilts for breeding purposes. “This has also been one of our better sources of gilts, particularly for new producers,” Eason said. “If you as a producer wish to continue this practice it will be necessary that your herd be validated. In addition, if you have borrowed a boar from a friend or neighbor, be sure you have him returned home before Dec. 1,” he said. An inspection and movement permit is and will still be required for the sale of breeding stock as well as feeder animals. Brucellosis is a human health problem as well as an economically important concern for pork producers. Any producer that desires more information on this new regulation or who would like to make arrangements to have his herd validated, should contact the county agents office in Jackson. Vinson DeLoatch of Seaboard is building a waterway 1000 feet long and 20 feet wide on his farm near Galatia. When construction is completed the waterway will be seeded to tall fescue. Several years ago DeLoatch worked out a conservation plan for his farm in cooperation with the Northampton Soil and Water Conservation District. Practices that he has applied include subsurface, or tile, drains, parallel terraces, diversions, grassed waterways and open drainage ditches. DeLoatch says the conservation plan has made it possible to use his land more efficiently as a result of improved water management. L. E. Bolton of Rich Square has recently completed grading one of his fields for improved surface drainage. A field border and a waterway were constructed as part of the project to provide outlets for row drainage. The waterway is an extension of an outlet ditch that was constructed last year. It will be seeded to tall fescue. Richard Vaughan of Lasker has applied to the District for help in developing conservation plans for his farms. He has already started construction of drainage field ditches for improved surface drainage. Land grading will be used in some of the fields to provide adequate row drainage. The Soil Conservation Service will provide soil survey maps to supply land capability information.

Pendleton Members of the Northampton County Forestry Association and their guests observed several types of hardwood woodland management on their fall tour Tuesday, November 27. Ed Jones, Extension Forester specializing in hardwood management led the discussion. He pointed out that hardwood management is complicated by the fact that there may be twenty or more commercially valuable species to be considered in a stand. They vary in value and in the way they respond to management. Knowledge about hardwood management, Jones said, has lagged behind that for pine stands. This has been due to the fact that good hardwood sites are more limited in area than good pine sites. Also, until recently, pine has been more valuable. Visits were made to hardwood sites on Bill Long’s farm in Occoneechee Neck, Jesse Wheeler’s farm near Lasker, and W. P. Morris’s Roanoke River Ranch. Various methods of harvest cutting hardwoods were observed. A stop was also made to observe a clear cut operation and discuss ways in which the stand might be regenerated. The importance of land capability and growing the kinds of trees best suited to the land was emphasized throughout the tour. Most of the upland soils in Northampton County are better suited for growing pines than hardwoods. There are wet areas along small streams and in the Roanoke and Meherrin River bottoms that are best suited for production of hardwood species. Creeksville By MRS.
