perked up a bit more than usual Sat.
urday morning when a familiar ba.ss
voice boomed; “H. C. McPherson of

Neighbor McPher.son an.swered his
question pertaining to a radio com.

faltering and was given a dollar.
W'hen the dollar holders were lined
up for the elimination to see who was

Hawley Poole, Chairman of Soil
Conservation District. Sees
Production Need
Farms in the Upp.-r Cape Fear Soil
Conservation Dlstnct this week were
compared with ixidu.strial plants man.
ufacturing vital war materials by J.
Hawley Poole of West F'nd. district
chairman.
“Every farm must be made an ef
ficient production plant." Mr Poole
said, "if we are to attain the 1912
food-for.freedom goals for more
dairy and meat products, eggs, vege
tables, and other foods essenlial to
the United States and nations fight,
ing aggre.ssion."
Tre Soil Conservation district in.
eludes aJl cf Moore County but
the upper and westernmost ends are
participating most fully In the pro
gram.
Mr. Poole explained that farms
mu.st be prepared now for increaseil
production just as manufacturing
plants have been expanded and re.
tooled to speed up production of air
planes. tanks, shells, ships, and thous
ands of other products vital to tho
nation's welfare.
"The most important tool ’n the
farmer s defense plant is his soil," the |
district chairman declared. "Fortu. I
nately. national defense needs and |
soil conservation are identical. The
farmer who is doing a patriotic duty
by producing foods can do so more |
effectively and more profitably
through the u.se of soil and moisture I
conservijig practices and at the same |
time increase the value of his land.” i
Among his suggestions for prepar.
ing the farm to meet the fix>d-for.
freedom goals are;
(11 An immediate and thorough
inventory of farm implements needed
for this year's work so that necessary
repairs may be made now when both
parts and labor are available: (2)
placing used but no longer needed
implements in the hands of neighbors
who do need them: (3i gathering
and deliverinfg all scrap iron and
other metals and old tires found about
the farm to authorized agents for
A'ar needs: f 4) repair and proper
plowing of all terraces; (T)) construc
tion of new terraces; (6) constnic.
tion and preparation for spring seed,
ing of terrace outlets and meadow
strips; |7| .shrubbing and stumping
of old pastures and clearing of level
moist fertile bottom land for new
pastures: (8) mending of old fences
and construction of new ones; (9)
proper thinning of the farm woodlot
as the winter's fuel .supply, the .sum.
mer's tobacco curing wood, or surplus
wood for pulp mills is cut; (10) cut-\
ting of stalks and disking under of
last year's crop residues: (III winter
plowing of a field that did not get
n green cover crop so as to take ad
vantage of winter's freezing and
thawing: (12t top dresing of pastures
and other sod crops with lime and
superphosphate; (13) making of a
dehnite .soil conserving and soil build,
ing plan for the farm and (14) keep,
ing ever alert to the obvious fact that
the tire shortage will increase the
difficulty of the farmer to make
trips .for repair parts and labor.
Chairman Poole pledged the contin.
ued efforts of the district supervisors
and the technicians of the Soil Con
servation Service. U. S. Department
of Agriculture, who are sei"ving in
this .soil conservation district, to as
sist in developing conservation plans
for entire farms and iji rendering ad.
ditional services that the great war
effort may require.
