Use Of Certified
Seed Is Stressed
Only by purchasing certified
seed can a farmer make certain
that he is gelling the best product
available, says Dr. R. P. Moore,
director in charge of the North
Carolina Crop Improvement Asso
ciation at State College.
Dr. Moore says seed are unique
in that their breeding cannot be
determined from appearance alone.
To determine in advance the type
of crop which a particular lot of
seed can produce, it is necessary
to know the history of the seed and
the conditions under which they
were grown.
In the production of hybrid corn,
the plant breeder probably will
know much about the performance
of the proposed hybrid before it
is actually produced. After it is
produced, it is put through a se
ries of tests to determine how its
performance compares with that
of commonly grown varieties or
hybrids.
This type of information, Dr.
Moore points out, is accumulated.
summarized, and made available
for all growers who wish to take
advantage of it.

Haywood Development
Program In Line With
Progressive Reputation
County Farmer Shows How To
Get Most From Limited Land
By MRS HOSSLYN B. WlbfcON
TVA Writer
The progress Haywood county
farm families are making in m
ganizing farm communities for con
centrated action, and in setting up
a county-wide committee to help
make agriculture more effective,
is right in line with the county's
reputation for progressive action in
agriculture.
The county was one of the first
in Western North Carolina to ob
tain and use a county agent, and
farmers in the county have always
been alert to adopt practices shown
to benefit farm production.
One evidence of this has been
it. early and wholehearted parti
ciptaton in test-demonstration
work carried on by Haywood farm
families in cooperation with TVA
and the North Carolina Agricul
tural Extension Service.
McCracken Farm
The A. J. McCracken farm was
the first selected as a unit test
demonstration farm to use TVA
concentrated phosphate fertilizers
j in farming systems adapted to Hay
wood soils and climate.
Since 1935, some 19b' farms have
been selected by farmer groups to
serve farmers throughout the
county as proving-grounds for rec
ommended practices in whole-farm-and-family
units of agriculture.
At present, there are 48of these
farms in Haywood.
There are now five test-demon
stration areas communities using
test-demonstration principles on
farms throughout the neighbor
hood to demonstrate their effect
on the entire community.
Eleven communities have served
in this capacity since Iron Duff,
the first, was set up as a test-demonstration
area in 1936.
Present test-demonstration areas
are: Riverside, Brown and Bowcn
Creek, Hyder Mountain, Crabtree,
Intensive use of available crop
land and pasture has made dairy
ing a profitable enterprise on many
small farms in western North Caro
lina, says T. K. Jones, farm man-
and Fines Creek.

According to Jones, the F. L.
Leopard family of Ratcliffe Cove
community. Haywood County, pro
vides a good example of what can
be accomplished with limited land
resources.
Mr. Leopard was operating a
dairy with seven cows all that his
farm would support when he
agreed in 193b' to begin a demons
tration on the value of high analy
sis phosphate fertilizers in an im
proved farming system. The Ten
nessee Vallev Authority furnished
the fertilizer materials while the
Agricultural Extension Service
provided information on the use
of approved practices'.
Since that time, all the cropland
and pasture have been treated
with both lime and phosphate,
with the result that the grazing
season has been lengthened and
the grazing capacity of the pasture
land has more than doubled. In ad
dition, alfalfa is grown to provide
the bulk of the hay needed.
Leopard's herd increased to 16
cows by this winter. Production
