Davis Sons, Publishers CONSERVATION IS PROGRAM SUBJECT AT FARM MEETING When farming practices ordinar ily followed today are used, North Carolina farms lose about one inch of topsoil every 15 years, Billy Knott told members of the Zebu lon Farm Bureau last Monday night. The average depth of top soil is only seven inches, he said, and unless progressive farming methods are adopted, the nation will soon find itself hungry be cause the devastated land will not grow sufficient food to feed a growing population. The topsoil is lost because every rain washes it away, bit by bit, the speaker told the Bureau mem bers. Gullied hillsides, muddy riv ers, and eroded farms tell the story of land misuse. Last year, Knott reported, four fifths of the people in the world had to go to bed hungry because not enough food was available. In India last year 3,000,000 people died from malnutrition. The time is here now when farms must be utilized for greatest productivity and must be preserved for future generations. Instruction and assistance in preventing this loss may be re ceived from the Soil Conservation Agents in the county who are ready to lay out terraces, mea dow strips, and show where and how to practice contour farming. This service is provided at no charge to the farmers. President Dewey Massey and Secretary Robert Edd Horton ex pressed disappointment at the small group who heard the talk. They felt that the message was one of the important brought to Farm Bureau meetings this year. Marsh Kuott of Wendell also spoke on the subject, telling of the need of proper farming methods. The Farm Bureau expects to continue emphasizing the necessity of wise land use for continued farm prosperity.
