With Macon
County Agents
By T. H. FAGG
On the recent annual Macon
County Farm tour, between 300
and 400 farm men and women
observed a number of interest
ing and practical farm and
home practices.
One stop on this tour was on
the farm of Paul Smith, of
Franklin, Route 2. Here Mr.
Smith has one of the best dem
onstrations of soil conservation
on a farm as a whole to be
found in the county. He pur
chased this farm in October of
1948. There Is a total of 32
acres In the farm. When he
purchased the farm It was
grown up in broom sedge and
running briars, and the hill
sides were very badly eroded and
gullied. Along the branch banks
was a wilderness of alders.
There was no grass and clover
on the farm and the fence that

'was there vu all falling down.
I The only building, on the (arm
I was the duelling house. Corn
yields being obtained at this
time ran around 15 bushels per
acre.
The people on this tour caw
a very different picture from
the one above. In less than
three years, Mr. Smith has
made wonderful improvements.
He first spent about $400 In
bulldozer work grading out for
farm buildings, roads, etc. He
now has a nice cattle and hay
barn in which he houses his
nine head herd of cows, heif
ers, and calves, a laying house
where he runs 350 laying hens,
from which he is selling hatch
ing eggs at a profitable price,
modern hog houses and farrow
ing houses to house his eleven
broodsows and 89 head of shoats
and pigs. 'There is 21 acres of
Ladino clover and orchard grass
now on the farm. This grass is
being used for both pasture and
hay. In addition to this it is
holding and conserving the soil
in this farm, no gullies or
eroded spots can be found now.
Mr. Smith has seven acres of
corn, four acres of U. S. 282 hy
brid, and two and one-half
acres of W. Va. 1163 hybrid. In
dications at this stage of ma
turity are that Mr. Smith will
get a yield of around 100 bush
els per acre. He plans to cut his
corn acreage to four acres next
year, and put more land into
grass and clover. The entire
farm is now fenced with woven
wire, and enough cross fences
built of the same type wire to
enable Mr. Smith to have 15
different fields for rotational
grazing. Mr. Smith spent most
of one winter clearing useless
land of shrubs and trees for
new pasture-, and cleaning ald
ers along the branches to re
claim good crop land. Mr. Smith
is following a good farm man
agement practice along the

banks of his branches. He
leaves a strip about 20 feet wide
along each side of the branch
which he has seeded to clover
and grass. This enables him to
cultivate his corn with his trac
tor and not break any of it in
turning. Also he mows this grass
and clover three or four times
a year and saves it for hay.
At the same time he la able to
mow his branch banks with his
tractor and save much time
and labor with a bush hook.
Mr. Smith made the state
ment that he has not made any
cash money in the three years
he has operated this farm. How
ever, he feels that the Increase
in value of his farm would
compensate him for money in
vested and he now has the
farm in a high state of culti
vation and buildings in good
repair. He feels that his only
problem now is maintenance of
what he has. From here on he
is confident of a good return
on his investment. Mr. Smith
is a unit demonstration farmer.
