This field border was seeded to oats and fescue following land smoothing on Hugh Holt Stegall's farm near Warren Plains. The border conserves soil, furnishes an excellent area for tractors to turn on, and occupies land that is unsuited for row crops. Soil Conservation News Field Borders Have Long Been Problems To Farmers B> NAT WHITE. Soil Conservationist Field borders at the edge of cropland have long been a problem to Warren County farmers. Thousands of dollars worth of fertilizer, seed, and labor have been wasted planting crops that were never harvested from the eroded shaded area adjacent to the woodland. In some areas top soil has been plowed to the borders blocking row drain age and causing drowning of crops and erosion of the land. The Warren Soil Conserva tion District has recognized this problem and a special effort has been made to assist farmers in correcting this J condition. In land smoothing work the brush and weak trees are pushed back, the bank of tops.oU moved back over the eroded areas, and good row drainage is assured. The field border is then planted to Kv.31 fescue or Bermuda grass. Beet (Continued from page 1) the most highly heritable traits, a series of correction factors were developed that allows all animals to be com pared on an equal basis. A formula was developed for combining the rate of gain and grade or calf into an in dex giving the same credit for each. Using this index a pro ducer can cull those cows with a low index and save replace ment heifers from the ones with a high index. Unfortunately, permanent change through breeding and selection of cattle is slow compared to that for most other farm animals. A cow only produces one calf a year and a heifer should be at least two years old before she produces her first calf. This animal must be six or eight months old for proper evalua tion. All this adds up to four or five years to produce a complete new generation of beef animals.

LICENSE *110 Then too, any record system for improvement of any kind of animals requires careful study and sound decisions be fore Improvement results. Our producers are making progress and, with beef prices on the up-swlng, Improvement in production methods re sult In extra profit. For example, a farm in Nash County with about 100 brood cows has increased the average 205-day weight of the calf crop from 416 pounds in 1960 to 469 In 1965. At the same time the grade of the calves moved up 1/3 of a grade. A Piedmont producer with about the same number of cows Increased his 205 day weight from 306 pounds in 1960 to an even 400 pounds In 1965, and Increased the grade of his calves one full grade at the same time. A producer In the mountain area with a very small herd increased his av erage grade from low choice to high choice In the six-year period. This past year he wrote a letter of apprecia tion Uatlng: "I doubt very seriously that we would be In the beef business today with out the benefits of the N. C. Beef Improvement program." The program has also had benefits that were indirect in nature but which have made a contribution to Increased quality in beef cattle. One -at?fchajLo-hanoflt-; is the im provement in overall beef cat tle management on the farms participating In the program as well as on some neigh boring farms. A good example of this is reflected in the number of non-producting cows that are sold the first year a farmer keeps accurate records. This lr. turn causes neighboring farmers to take an interest in the calving per cent of their own herds. Another benefit to the beef industry in general has been the publishing of performance records of animals offered for sale in our purebred auction sales. In all bull sales in the state the animals are now graded before they are sold and last year for the first time half of the bulls sold had performance records for the buyers to study. Also last year for the first time in five years, the quality of calves sold in the feeder calf sales showed a slight increase. Improvement by breeding is slow, but it is also perma nent. The first six years of operation has seen a good start toward Improvement of beef cattle and should lead to speculation as to where a beef improvement program could lead us. A corresponding program with dairy cows has increased milk production 67 per cent per cow in the past 15 years. Since weaning weight in beef cattle is heritable to about the same extent that milk pro duction is in dairy cows, it is logical to expect the av erage weaning weigh: of calves on the BCIP to Increase in the coming years. This ad ded weight will be reflected in more profit to the producers and more desirable beef cuts for the consumers.

Farmers Attend Fertilizer Meeting Approximately 125 Warren farmers were given aprogram for higher tobacco yields, a plug for one company's ferti lizer and a plate of barbecue, fried chicken and brunswick stew here Wednesday night. The occasion was a dinner staged at the Warrenton Armory by Smith-Douglas Company and the Warren Cot ton & Fertilizer Co., to ac quaint farmers with the com panies' products and to give farmers tips on improving this year's crop. Clyde Rodwell of Warren Cotton & Fertilizer Co., ser ved as master of ceremonies and Cliff Barnes of the Nor folk branch of Smith-Douglas addressed farmers and show ed films concerning trace elements in fertilizer and which demonstrated better to bacco production practices. Also appearing on the pro gram were S-D represen tatives Bill Boyette and Willie Grant of Wilson. Boyette spoke on pesticides and Grant con ducted a drawing for 10 bags of fertilizer won by 10 farm ers attending the event. Say you saw it advertised in The Warren Record.
