Approximately 60 local grow ers attended the session, which was conducted by Ray Bennett and Harold Nau, tobacco spe cialists with the N. C. Exten sion Service in Raleigh.

February 12 was set as the date for the club's "Sweetheart Banquet". It will be held at Slagle Memorial Building. Grass Roots Effective For Holding Moisture On Land Farmers of Macon County , who are looking for more ef- 1 fectlve ways of taring and holding moisture on their land are reminded by J. H. Enloe, Jr., chairman of the county Production Marketing Admin istration committee, that grass roots are hard to beat as a res ervoir for rainfall. The chairman pointed out that a check made recently on rangeland In Texas showed that where there \?as a good sod cover the soil absorbed 97 per cent of the water applied. On the same type of soil where the range was In poor condi tion and most of the grass was gone, 90 per cent of the water was lost in runoff, he said. In another check following a rainstorm, the soil on barren land was wet to a depth of six to eight inches. On land with a good cover the water soaked down to a depth of 24 inches. Mr. Enloe said that most farmers are aware that a good grass cover is a means of check ing runoff and erosion, but that probably few realize how much difference it makes in the amount of water actually held in the soil. The grass roots open up channels which lead the water into the soli. Where vegetation is sparse, fall ing rain drops soon puddle the surface soil and seal it over so little moisture soaks ir.. As the amount of water that accumulates on the surface in creases, little streams are start ed and gullies begin. Instead of going into the soil It runs off and carries valuable topsoil with It. The moisture held In the soil not only provides needed water for growing plants, but much of it percolates down through the soil to build up the reser voirs which supply springs and streams. For this reason, Mr. Enloe said, farmers and ranchers who are using the Agricultural Con nrmtlan program to help Im prove pastures and ranges SI* not only building up a reser voir to bold back moisture for their own use, but they are contributing to the water supply along the streams and rivers below.
