FARM CONSERVATION
GEORGE PENNEY
Soil Conservation Service
During the three months that I
have worked in Duplin County I
have seen several types of farm
ing and one of the best planned
rotations that I have seen is on
the farm of Mr. J. G. Holland,
north of Faison.
About three years ago the Ex
tension Service helped Mr. Hol
land plan a crop rotation and ter
racing system on his entire farm
andhe has built terraces and fol
lowed the rotation as near as la
bor and weather conditions would
permit.
Mr. Holland states Jnat eacn
acre of his land now produces
from forty to 100 percent bigger
erops than before he started his
rotations and that he believes he
will have very good soil in a few
years. .i'JKSi
He has one field of broadcast
soybeans almost shoulder, high
that be plans to combine, then
plow in the straw and plant Aus
trian Winter Peas which will also
be plowed into the soil as a green
manure crop and be followed by
corn. , t -
Next year Mr. Holland plans to
install tile in several ditches, so
that he may have bigger fields and
less waste land. He also plans to
plant Sericia Lespedeza on some
of his steep hillsides in order to
get his hay from these fields, that
have been producing practically
nothing.

CEILING SET FOR
AUTOMOBILE PRICES
After several months of study,
OPA has devised a procedure by
which manufacturers may com
pute their own ceiling prices. It
was disclosed yesterday by Theo
dore S. Johnson, Raleigh OPA dis
trict director.
He said it appeared "most un
likely" there will be any general
increase in the factory level of
automobile prices.
"There is every indication that
prices on automobiles manufactur
ed during the rest of 1948 will ba
about the same as present ceilings
on 1942 models, minus, of Course,
the special charges allowed begin
ning early in 1942 co cover added
costs to dealers from rationing,"
Johnson explained.
