' two years of fescue, but he is com pletely said on - the method and plans to use in the future in his to bacco program. In addition to this; his neighbors have seen the results and have already begun this year a ' fescue - tobacco two-year rota tion program. - The results, even in an adverse for tobacco production, are astoun ding. Kilpatric seeded six acres of his tobacco land in fescue two years Ago. For that time, he grazed the land with pure bred Herefords. i his grazing of beef returns more money per acre than did the corn plant' d behind tobacco in previous years. This year, Kilpatric planted to bacco on the six acres, i; was a job to get the fescue cut under, but once it was turned under, the fescue on the land for the two pre vious years did not hamper the to bacco cultivation. The results of the tobacco crop in 1959, wheich was a bad year for comparison with previous produc tion, is astounding. Kilpatrick. on the six acres of tobacco behind fescue, had a total yield of 16,518 pounds. This represents a yield of 2,798 pounds per acre. The tobacco sold for a total of $10,985, accord ing to ASC records. This is an average of 66 cents per pound.

The average price per acre was about the same, 65 cents per pound. "The tobacco following the fes cue would have done better," Kil patrick said, "if we had had nor mal seasons during the growing season. I'm pleased wuh the re sults and 1 will now use the fescue on all my tobacco land in the two year rotation program." George A. Penney, Duplin Soil Conservationist, who has worked closely with Kilpatrick on the fescue - tobacco rotation program, said that such a program allows a farmer to graze the land while building it up and then turning under the fescue to put good organ ic matter into the soil in order that the fertilizer will have a good element onto which to attach it self. The fescue - tobacc two-year ro tation program is -definitely on the increase in Duplin County -mainly because it has been proven a good practice by good farmers. crew leader.
