Davis Sons, Publishers GOOD PASTURE PLANTING PAYS WAKE FARMERS Mrs. Etha Mitchell of near Mac Perry’s Store, Youngsville, and F. V. Todd of Wendell have recently had complete soil and water con servation plans made for their farms. Assisting in the formation of these plans was the personnel of the Neuse River Soil Conserva tion District assigned to Wake County. These plans are designed to use all land classes according to possibilities based on slope, ero sion, and soil types. Practices in cluded are: terracing, rotations, permanent hay crops, pasture, row arrangements, water disposal are as, and woodland management. Mrs. Mitchell is also building a one-acre farm pond. Fish will be supplied at the rate of 100 bream per acre this fall and 100 bass per acre next spring. This combination will give excellent fishing in two years for both bream and bass. Permanent pastures seeded last fall are producing excellent re sults this spring. Leamon Woodard on Poole Road has three acres which were seeded to a mixture of orchard grass, fescue grass, and 'adino clover in October. The pas ture was limed with approximately two tons per acre before seeding and worked into the soil four to six inches. At seeding, Leamon used 400 lbs. of fertilizer and top dressed again in February with 400 lbs. more. Manure was also broadcast over the pastures this spring. This pasture has grazed three animals continuously since ibout February 15. Leamon said: “The stuff just got so far ahead of my grazing until I had to mow it.” T G Poofe also on the Poole Road has eleven acres of the same mixture which was seeded last fall. His has been used for hay altogeth er. The first cutting produced about one ton per acre. Town Bond Vote Set For Tuesday , Aug. 2 The voters of Zebulon will de cide whether they want the streets paved on August 2 when a pro posal to issue $70,000 in bonds for street improvements is put to test. The Zebulon Board of Commis sioners unanimously passed a mo tion to submit the proposal to a vote of the people at a special meeting held on Monday night of this week. As proposed by the Board of Commissioners, the money realized by the sale of the bonds will be used for paving the unimproved streets in Zebulon. The action was initiated by R. Vance Brown and seconded by Norman Screws, both veterans of several terms on the board. The other three members, Wesley Liles, Raleigh Alford, and Barrie Davis, all heartily approved the measure. The bonds will be issued only as needed, and if the improvements can be effected without the total amount, only enough bonds will be issued to do the necessary work. School Postponed The Vacation Church School, scheduled to begin next Monday, June 27, has been postponed indef initely. Mrs. F. L. Page, Director of the School, stated that this ac tion has been taken because of the uncertainty of the date of com pletion of the new church building. Mrs. Page expressed her apprecia tion to those who have made prep- ' aration to work in the School.
