Charlie Medford Convinced
Strip Cropping Pays Profits
By ROy R. BECK
Soil Conservation Specialist
Charlie Medford, conservation
farmer of Iron Duff Community,
has been sold on strip cropping for
years. Mr. Medford bought his farm
SO years ago. He says: "The gullies
were so deep I had to haul logs to
fill them. I read about strip crop
ping over IS years ago and decided
to try it on my hill land. I have
been strip cropping ever since. I
havent had any more gullies. In
fact* I have built the land back to
what it is today. We made about
80 bushels of corn per acre last
yean."
Mr. Medford is laying a 70-foot
tile line to drain a springhead in a
field that will be plowed for corn
this year.
Farmers all over the county who
have drainage problems are being
helped by their Soil Conservation
District to solve these problems.

The Lake Junaluska Methodist
Assembly has carried forward its
woodland improvement and fire
prevention program this winter. J.
W. Fowler, Jr. reports construction
work completed on the network of
roads in the woods north of the
assembly buildings. These roads
were opened up primarily as ac
cess roads so that any woods fire
could be stopped quickly before
getting out of control. The roads
will also be used to truck out fire
wood. The dead, dlsseased and
crooked trees are being removed
in a timber stand improvement cut- J
ting. Several fire packs, swatters
and rakes are now on hand for use
in fighting a woods fire, should one
get started on assembly property.
