HUGE EROSION
PLAN JAPPED
Program To Be Launched
In Fifteen W. N. C.
Counties
Plans for a ' huge ,soiil erosion
control project in 15 Western North
Carolina counties were announced
in Raleigh by Dean 1. O. Schaub of
North Carolina State college.
The project, according to an As
sociated Press dispatch, will provide
for the planting of 2,000,000 to 4,
. 000,000 trees on worn out, aban-.
doned and eroding fields.
TVA To Furnish Seedlings
Schaub explained that the TVA
would furnish seedlings and the
county agents, the extension ser
vice and TVA foresters would .sup
ervise the projects. The farjners
' applying for the trees will furnish
materials and prepare the site for
planting, set out the trees, and pro
vide protection from fire, grazing
and other hazards.
: The project is 'being sponsored
jointly by the N. C. agricultural ex
tension service and the department
of forestry relations of the TVA,
and will be carried out within the
TVA watershed areas.
Any farmer is eligible to obtain
the seedlings, provided he has land
needing erosion control and will
cooperate in the program.
Lofting Soil Wejadth
Farmers of this section are los
ing thousands of dollars, 0 in soil
wealth through the destructive
agency of erosion. Trees planted
,now, he pointed out, will provide
wood and fence posts eight or ten
years hence. .
Trees to be distributed will in
clude black locust, yellow poplar,
shortleaf pine and Virginia pine.
In .selecting ' areas for planting,
primary consideration will be given
to the' purpose of stopping or con
trolling existing erosion and pre
' vention of future erosion.
Counties included in the program
are: Buncombe, Avery, Cherokee,
Clay; ' Graham, Henderson, Hay
wood, Jackson, Macon, Madison,
Mitchell, Swain, Transylvania, Wa
tauga and. Yancey. .
' ' R. W. Graeber, extension service
forester, has been conducting meet
ings' to instruct farm agents in the
counties involved.

Advice Is Offered
On Moving Shrubs
Wife : "We've got too many
shrubs next to the house. Let's
move some to the corners of the
yard."
Husband : "I'm satisfied like they
are, but if you must move them do
it yourself or have it done "
Accept the challenge, Madam, it's
not hard. John Hi Harris, exten
sion Landscape .specialist at State
college, will tell you how. He says:
Most people have success moving
shrubs and trees, during the dor
mant season, preferably in' Novem
ber and December. If the plant to
be moved is deciduous, (drops its
foliage in the winter) it is not
necessary to remove a ball of earth
with the plant. Care should be
taken, however, to remove all the
roots possible with the plant and
avoid bruising the roots as much as
possible. A 'ball of earth .should be
moved with evergreens. A two to
six-foot native plant is usually the
best size to move.
The hole in which the plant is to
be placed should be dug consider
ably larger.and deeper than is nec
essary to take care of the longest
roots. Use only topsoil to fill this
surplus space Place the plant in
the hole the .same depth that it
was growing originally and tamp
the soil around its. roots until the
hole is three-fourths filled. The
remainder of the soil should be
filled without packing.
Prune the plant enough to bal
ance against the loss of roots.
This usually meaas cutting from
one-third to one-half the top from
the plant. Fertilize at the time of
transplanting or early the next
spring.
.Immediately transplant deciduous
plants, or at least keep the roots
moist until they are reset. Leave
a disk shape hole around the new
position for" the purpose of collect
ing water for the plant.
Hogs Do Well On
Soybean Pasture
A clear-cut comparison of the
value of the . use of green soybeans
as a hog pasture instead of allow
ing the porkers, to feed on culti
vated and . matured soybeans is
shown in a feport made by T. A.
Smithwick, ia Merry Hill farmer, to
H W. Taylor, extension .swine spe
cialist at State college, . through
B. E. Grant, Bertie county agent.
The extension service highly rec
ommends grazing from soybean
leaves. . ' ,
.In 1936 and 1937 Mr. Smithwick
says he planted soybeans in rows
on a one-half acre field and culti
vated them to maturity. He turned
15 hogs into the lot and they
cleaned up the field in about two,
weeks.
This year Mr. Smithwick sowed
about two bushels of soybeans
thickly on the same one-half acre
tract about May 1. When the
beans were about one foot high on
June 20 lie put 14 gilts and one
barrow on feed in the lot They
totaled 870 pounds in weight. On
August 6 he put 10 more barrows
from the same farrows as the first
lot in the field. They weighed' 730
pounds. The hogs were fed what
corn they would eat, supplemented
with a feed mixture of one-half
peanut meal, one-fourth fish moal
and one-fourth cottonseed moal,
which cost about $50. The corn was
grown on the farm.
On September 19 all 25 hogs were
sold for. $340.16 net at the farm.
The; first lot of 15 weighed 2,796
pounds, a gain of 1,926 pounds, or
1 41100 pounds' per hog a day.
The other 10 weighed 1,410 pounds,
a gain of 680 pounds, or 1 58100
pounds per hog a day.'
The green plants grew about as
fast as they were consumed and
furnished grazing for nearly three
months The only difference was
that in 1936 and 1937 the matured
beans furnished almost the entire
feed for the two-weeks period, but
with the possibility of soft pork.

Main Dish Meals,
Simple, Wholesome
Now they're calling it a "main
dish" meal.
It's not a new fad." It's just a
more sincere mame of the old fav
orite "one-dish" meal, that comes
with salad and dessert, perhaps a
hot roll and always a beverage, just
as a matter of course.
Miss Mary E. Thomas, extension
nutritionist at,. State colleger says
one dish meals are .simple, whole
some and palatable. As left overs
and the cheaper cuts of meat can
be used to advantage in them, they
may be inexpensive. A' Carefully
selected main dish, with a salad,
bread and butter, a simple fruit
dessert, and a beverage, ; make n
well-rounded meal for a family and
one that Is. easily prepared.. ,
As an example of this' "main
dish," Miss Thomas gives ia recipe
for vegetable chowder. The ingredi-
