Migration Of Labor
Disturbs Farmers
BROTHERS MEET AFTER
FORTY-THREE YEARS
The migration of much labor from
North Carolina farms to industry is
a matter of concern to many farm
ers, according to t). G. Harwood Jr.,
extension farm management spe
cialist at State College.
Harwood says that farmers are
disturbed over two things: the
shortage of farm labor, and the high
wage rate which available labor de
mands. He says that many farmers are
wondering whether or not it will pay
to piurchase machinery to take the
place of labor, and also, how to use
the labor they now have most effi
ciently. He adds that this concern
is justified since labor is the most
expensive production cost on the
farm.
Three recent bulletins designed to
help answer farmers' questions con
cerning mechanization and labor are:
"Will It Pay To Mechanize To
bacco!"; "Saving Labor In String-
St. Louis, Mo. Although Bert
Hale, 68, of Nashville, 111., and Har
ry Hale, 70, of Liverpool, England,
hadn't seen each other in 43 years,
they recognized each other immedi
ately at their recent reunion here.
The two brothers ran into each oth
er's arms as Harry, a retired mer
chant seaman, stepped off a bus.

C -jiVctectiSoil
Ar.d Improves It
(Madin Soil Conservation District)
,A large per cent of our ptesent
grassland Js not producing what it
should; Many of our pastures do
not luve enough cover of grats or
legumes to prevent serious erosion.
Over grating and not enough lime
and fertilizers are the main leason
for this condition.
When a good cover of grass is
established and mai.ntuiutd. it pro
tects and improves the soil in a
number of ways: prevents soil eio
sion, improves soil structure, !n
Creases soil productivity and im
proves the biological life of thi soil.
l)t is common knowledge that when
corn or tobacco is planted on sod
land prepared in the fall or winter,
the soil works better, less soil wash
is noticed and production is great
er than where crops arc planted
year after year on the same field.
With proper planning and man
agement it is possible to establish a
rotation system where part, u not
all row crops, will follow a sol crop;
thus, getting maximum production of
grass and row crops.
Since a great part of wwUt ero
sion starts when raindrops blast soil
particles loose, a good cover of grass
is' very effective in checking ero
sion. Tiie blades or leaves of grass
break the force of falling drops of
rain. Large drops are thus shatter
ed into smaller drops that trickle
slowly to the ground. Grass helps
prevent rain splash from sealing the
pores of the soil and thus permits
water to soak into the ground more
rapiUiy instead of running off. Wa-

Specialist-Sayc
Demand For Wood
Products Very Good
The demand and price situation
for all grades and kinds of wood
produce is "excellent," according to
Jim Anderson, State College exten
sion forestry specialist.
This "situation," along with a
continuing decline in farm income,
has turned many landowners' atten
tion to their woods.
He says "the fore-sighted owners
are no longer interested in selling
wery green and living thing in their
neck of their woods at one whack.
They realize that timber, growing at
a normal rate, can return more cash
income over the years than almost
any other investment."
In planning for a thinning oi
partCal cutting operation in pine
stands, however, there is often som-
question of when a stand is in need
of cutting. Anderson says one of
the '.est visual guides concerns t!ie
amount of living- crown on tne
trees.
Foresters have found that the best
rate of growth is maintained by trees
having at least one-third of their to
tal height in green branches. When
tlie top? "prune ap" to the point
where they niuks up only 30 to 40
per cTil of the height of the trees,
tin' stand i.ia.'ly needs thinning.
He war:,., that this "-one-third
green top" rule should not be fol
lowed blindh. The best way to de
termine when ti cut is to contact a
trained forester who will in'spe. t the
wood?".
Jn most eases, landowners ran get
free' assistance w;ith their forestry
work by contacting their county
agent or local M. C. Division of
Forestry representative.
