Soil Conservation News Land Smoothing Makes Tractor Farming Easier By NAT WHITE - Soil Conservation Service One of the most needed jobs on tobacco farms in Warren County is land smoothing. In this operation eroded land is top soiled, outlets are con structed to take excess water from the field, old bench ter races and other obstructions are removed, low places are smoothed over, and parallel terraces are constructed. The operation not only makes the field more productive, it leaves it so tractor farming is easier and faster. Few farmers have the equip ment needed to do this work, so contractors with heavy equipment are employed. Soil Conservation technicians stake the system before the equip ment moves in, laying out the waterways, parallel terraces, and other work. If the farmer wants to do all the work at one time stakes are set show ing how much to cut or fill at each place. This operation is not expensive as tobacco land j goes. On an average five acre tobacco field one acre, or 20r'< of the field, will need top soil. It will cost about $100 to top soil this land with four inches of top soil, $200 for j eight inches. The top soil comes from waterways, banks around the field, or from old bench terraces where it ac tually docs harm. This top. soil has to be moved before parallel terraces can be con-! structed to eliminate short rows in terrace interval. Since eroded land produces about $300 per acre less than good tobacco land, the land John Wilson of Drewry poses with the machine that shaped his waterways, top soiled the eroded areas, and smoothed his tobacco land last winter. smoothing operation will repay the investment with one crop of tobacco. The land smooth ing operation is not new; many Warren County farmers have done some of this work in re cent years. Some of the farm ers who have smoothed and shaped tobacco fields are R. O. Leete of Warren Plains, Robert E and Sidney P. Flem ing of Vicksboro, and Horton Brantley of Ridgeway. It has been easier to tractor farm and irrigate these field since the land smoothing operations. The Warren Soil Conserva tion District Supervisors plan another land smoothing demon stration this spring. Tentative plans are to hold the demon stration on C. M. Haithcock's farm at Churchill about the last of March. Farmers who plan their work for 1962 should leave an entire tobaccu field open so the land smooth ing operation can be done in the summer months, and a cover crop seeded following the operation. Few investments will pay as well on tobacco farms as land smoothing. GARDEN TIME M . E . Gardner N.O. Stiito College I am quoting an article I have just read in the "Nation al News", the official voice of the National Apple Institute. I thought it rather clever and am passing it along for your enjoyment. Let's call it "Core Curriculum." "A core curriculum is one in which the children bring ap ples to school, eat them, and plant the cores in the school grounds. They watch them sprout and grow into leaves and blossoms and then fruit. This is Science. They paste pieces 'of bark and twigs and leaves on paper and they paint pictures of the apples in a dish. This is Art. "The children sit around un der the tree singing 'In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree.' This is Music. The story of Johnny Appleseed is told them. This is Library Study. They climb the tree and pick the ap ples. This is Physical Edu-1 cation. "They count the apples, 'tak ing away' the wormy ones. This is Arithmetic. In their own words, they tell what a tree is and what they felt when they saw the cores turn into trees. They also write let ters to the National Apple Growers' Association. This is Language Arts. The gifted children do enrichment re seearch by reading Kilmer's 'Trees' or by finding out about Isaac Newton, the Apple of Discord, the Garden of Eden, William Tell and other apple-y events. "They learn such words as arbor, L'arbre, Apfel, Baum, manzana. This is Foreign Lan guages. 'The boys build boxes to store the apples. This is Indus trial Arts. And the girls bake them and sauce them and pie them. This is Homemaking. Then everyone eats them and learns about their nutritional I value. This is Health Educa-' tion. "These activities have been performed without a text-! book or a work-book. "When all the apples are gone, they take the cores once again and plant them in the school grounds and watch them i grow and flower and fruit. Pret-i ty soon, you cannot see the school for the trees. This is called The End of Education " Alston Completes Course in Germany l MURNAU, Germany ? Spe cialist Four William G. Alston, | son of Mr. and Mrs. Gideon F. Alston, Littleton, N.

MARCH EGG MONTH The USDA states', "Ten mil lion Americans who live in a scientific age waste 500 million dollars a year on quack diets and fake pills and junk of non-, scientific medicine men . . .' In an era where wonder drugs and great advances in surgery and medicine have produced true medical miracles, it is puzzling that so many people in all walks of life pay big money for the frauds." People should get sound advice about proper nutrition. It is easier and cheaper to eat right than to try to regain one's health after it is lost. Eggs are among.' the more nutritious food that protect and improve health. They are a basic part of the diet of healthy families and are used in promoting better health among people suffering from nutritional deficiencies. The importance of eggs: in the diet is being stressed these days as the poultry industry observe MARCH EGG MONTH. The American people are showing the greatest interest that has ever been shown in weight control. I.ow calorie food seems to be quite popular. Some low carodie food substi tutes may not furnish the nu trients needed for health pro tection. Consumers have one food. eggs, that are low in calories (one egg contains only 77 calories and furnishes 3.3 percent of the daily require ments). Ounce for ounce, eggs contain only about 60 percent of the calories found in bread and less than half of the calo ries in breakfast cereals. One way to keep the calorie count low when cooking eggs is to poach or boil them. Two poach ed eggs a slice of dry toast, j and one large orange will pro vide a complete meal with only about 290 calories. This is less calories than some of the so called low carolie diets that do not supply a complete meal nutritionally, Eggs are a rich source of protein, vitamins and minerals. In fact, eggs are almost a per fect food. If .Vitamin C could be added, eggs would be a per fect food. Proteins are needed to (I) build and repair all tissues in the body, (2) J}cJp' Form antibodies to help fight nfection, and (3) to supply ood energy. Second to water, irotein is the most plentiful mbstance in the body. Nearly ialf of the dby weight of the >ody is protein. The blood con aifts several dozen different tinds of protein. In fact, pro ein makes up about 95 per cent of the hemoglobin mole :ules. Vitamins are needed to help 1> the bodv stay healthy, (2) ?csist infection. (3) promote icaling.
