Irrigation Is Built Largely
Around Farm Ponds, Says White
Irrigation in Warren County
is built largely around farm
ponds. Only three farmers
owning irrigation systems in
Warren County do not have a
farm pond, and one of these
plans to construct one in the
near future. A dependable
source of water is essential for
irrigation, and the closer it is
to the fields to be irrigated the
less will be the cost of ir
rigating. Along main line great
ly Increases the initial cost
of the irrigating system, the
cost of operating the sv^'cr..,
and the labor required U, Ir
rigate. That's why there art
so many farm ponds being con
structed In Warren County.
West farmers that w-.it to
construct a pond will request
assistance through the Warren
Soli Conservation District. A
technician from the Soil Con
servation Service checks with
him to find out Just what the
farmer has in mind. He checks
pond sites with the farmer,
measures acreages and dis
tances on the aerial photograph,
makes cost estimates, and the
farmer has several alternatives
to choose from. A farmer just
starting to Irrigate decided on
how many ponds he will need,
when and where to construct
them, and how much water to
store at each location. Often he

The schedule for building
ponds usually requires planning
crops two years ahead. A farm
er will locate his tobacco to
be irrigated by his first pond,
and the next year he can build
another pond to water addition
al tobacco. There are 38 War
ren County farmers with two or
more irrigation reservoirs.
Some farmers construct
ponds for insurance against dry
weather. These farmers plan to
hire their tobacco Irrigated in
case of extremely dry weather.
During most years a good soak
ing when tobacco is going into
top will cause it to mature and
ripen. Extreme drought can
make a crop ver late as was
the case around the Gaston
Lake last fall.
Whether a farmer constructs
ponds for routine irrigation or
for drought insurance it's still
a good investment. If the farmer

MR8. WALLACE HOLTZMAN,
Mori in a.
conniving most of us have some
of It to do. Here are some
Ideas that have saved me con
siderable work?maybe they
will help you.
At my place all small trees,
shrubs, roses, flowers and to
matoes are mulched. The few
weeds and grass that comes
through are pulled by hand or
sprayed with Varsol. I figure
that mulching reduces my weed
ing by 90 per cent. And too,
the plants grow better when
mulched. Three to four Inches
of pine straw seems to be the
ideal material. However, any
coarse material that won't pack
down and keep out air and water
is satisfactory. Coarsely
ground corncobs are eood; so
are shavings, tobacco stems,
straw (grain removed) and pea
nut hulls (If sterilized to kill
nematodes). Leave your mulch
saucer shaped so water will
drain to the plant and not away
from It. In addition to helping
kee p down grass and weeds, a
mulch keeps the soil cooler in
summer, helps prevent erosion,
maintains organic matter, pre
vents packing and crusting, and
conserves moisture.
Young grass and weeds com
ing through the mulch can be
easily killed with Varsol (Stod
dard Solvent). This material is
available from most service
stations. It can be used under
neath and around any plant as
long as you do not hit the plant.
A small amount of drift won't
hurt > tough stem, but complete
wetting might cause serious
damage. Varsol Is similar to
gasoline, except It Is not as
explosive?but, don't strike a
match close to It. Use at full
strength ? It won't mix with
water.
Varsol won't kill Bermuda
grass, but Dowpon will. Dow
pon cannot be used however un
derneath and around flowers,
trees and shrubs.
AZALEA LEAF GALL?This
disease causes azalea and cam
ellia leaves to become thick and
fleshy. The galls are covered
with a white powered material.
The disease is more alarming
tnan destructive; so don't get
too excited. And, don't send
me the leaves?my waste paper
basket Is full. At this time
of year the only control Is to
pick the diseased leaves off and
burn them. If you leave them on
the bush they will soon dry up
and disappear, but Infection
might be worse next year.
ELIMINATE MOSS?Do you
have trouble with moss crowd
ing out your grass? If you do,
it Indicates that conditions are
more favorable for the growth
of moss than it is for the
growth of grass. Usually the
presence of moss Indicates a
need of: (1) More lime, (2)
more plant nutrients, (3) more
sunlight, (4) more air In the
soil, or a combination of these
factors.
The soil can be tested for lime
by sending it to the Soil Test
ing Laboratory, North Carolina
Department of Agriculture.
Plenty of nitrogen seems es
pecially Important in eradi
cating moss. If you do not
have your soil tested, a general
recommendation is touseafer
tlllzer such as 8-8-8 at the rate
of 20 pounds per 1,000 square
feet In March and again In early
October. Sunlight Is also Im
portant; you may need to remove
some trees or remove low
limbs.
B you tear up the lawn, use
sand or organic matter such
as peatmoss or well rotted
sawdust. This will tend to open
up the soil and provide for bet
ter aeration.
