THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1938 THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN PAGE FIVE Makes a Living On 26 Acres Of Farm Land J. R. Puckett, of Charlotte, route 9, Mecklenburg county, has .answer ed the question as to whether a man can make a living on 26 acres of land. , True it is that Mr. Puckett does not have .all of the luxuries that a more extended holding would al low but he has a neat farm home, a good barn, 50 hens, three milk cows, two mules, four hogs, a garden and a soil that is gradually becoming more fertile through the years. The secret is that his land is entirely covered with green crops through the winter, the fields are welll terraced and there is a bal ance of soil improving .and cash crops, on the limited acreage. "1 have been living here 45 years," Mr. Pucket said, "and have been maintaining the home for my mother. I am now working in co operation with the soil conservation service in this area and they have helped me recently in building bet ter terraces and in planting certain pasture and soiling crops. Last year I had four acres in cotton on which I made a bale or more per acre; six acres in corn with an average yield of from 30. to 40 bushels; five acres in wheat from which I sold $90 worth last season,' and three or four acres of oats used for feed." Mr. Puckett's wheat, 'by the way, weighed 61 pounds to the bushel in spite of the poor season. He has all of his cotton land covered with bur clover. His pasture is seeded to a mixture of orchard grass, red top, fed clover and alsike clover. Lespedeza has been seeded in the small grain and Austrian peas is used as a winter cover crop. Phos phate and limestone has been used on much of the land and strip crop ping is. followed on the steeper slopes. , "A man can't live on land and allow it to wash away or run down in fertility," Mr, Puckett said. .
