ON HONOR ROLL
: Rebecca Williams, daughter
Mr. and Mrs. David Williams
Rose Hill, Rt 1, made the first
quarter honor roll at Peace Col
lege In Raleigh it was announced
Bright leaf tobacco acreage aV '
lotments have been Increased by
slightly over nine and one-third
per cent for 1951. Production and
Marketing Administration officials
announced this week.
The official order was received
at the local PMA office on Wednes
day. It had previously been an
nounced that approximately a nine
per cent Increase would be granted.
Each fanner may eompute his
Increase by multiplying his present
allotment by 1.09937 and figuring
to the closest tenth of an acre. .
Thus a farmer with five acres in.
1950 would have an allotment of
5.5 acres in 1951, and an B-aere al
lotment would rise to 8.7 acres.
Each farmer will receive his of
ficial notice of his 1951 tobacco al
lotment about January 1st.

e 400 Years

frv- ..... jfm 9svsia wmmw
Many Duplin . County farmers v
are not aware cc the losses iumi
to erosion of the farm top soil." ;i
Our most valuable acreage Uv.
that land which is slightly rolling.::
On this land meet ti our tobaeve,,
cotton and corn la grown. Here we '
have our erosion problem that la.
the most serious because we can- :
not do without this type of bad
if we are to continue a successful
agriculture.
The topsail is from one fourth
to one half gone on about 50,000
acres of Duplin County's best to
bacco land, sccording to a survey
made by the soil conservationist
working with the Southeastern
Soil Conservation District
This slightly rolling land usually
does not wash away in gullya, but
instead it slips away so slowly that
we hardly miss lt until. we start
plowing up red subsoil. This means
that from four inches to a foot of
topsoil has been washed away.
Soil experts estimate that It will
take more than 400 years under the
best conditions to build one Inch
of topsoil.
The supervisors of the District
have recommended erosion con
trol on at least 100,000 acres In
Duplin County.
The ways to control erosion on
this slightly rolling land Include
strip cropping and terracing and
in many cases lt can be control ed -by
contour cultivation or running -the
rows around hills Instead of .
across them.
