Beef and pork should bring reasonably good prices, but probably not as high as some of [The pork prices paid at some puintj . * during the last three years. I The new building is located on I the same site as the one destroyed i by fire. It is modern in every re- : j spect and is designed to allow j rapid and efficient sales. A large auction ring has been constructed- at the front of the ^ building with three convenient doors serving as entrances The seating capacity of the ring has been doubled and the floor area under the bleachers has been con creted as safeguard against fire. New Scales A new typeof automatic record ing scales have been installed near the ring. These scales automatic ally record the weights of the ani mals on a printed form, one copy of which goes to the owner 01 me livestock.

L 2 i I Demonstration To Show 5-Year Program In 1 Day A full-grown demonstration of ten or more measures for conservation of soil and water will he installed in full or in part March 17 on the farm of Milton Latta, five miles north east of Hillsboro, with an anticipated tlmmgof a.000 expected for the first soil conservation field day ever to be held in North Carolina. During the field day, a complete ' farm soil and water conservation plan, developed with assistance from the Neuse River Soil Con servation District, will be applied on the farm insofar as seasonally practical. The progtfiro is design ed to put every acYe. on the farm to its best use and treat'every acre in accordance with'its- needs. Cooperative Eneadvor AH the Agricultural Agencies in Orange county are cooperating in the field day to make it an out |'standing demonstration of a eom 1 plete farm conservation program based on sound land use. l he I demonstration will include appli cation of all needed conservation practices on cropland, pasture, and woodland areas of the farm. H. S. Hogan, chairman of the board of supervisors of the Neuse River Soil Conservation District, said he thought this was wonder ful opportunity for farmers in Or ange County and the other coun ties in this district to see the ap plication of the type of program the' district is seeking to establish. He expressed the opinion that it would greatly speed up the prog ' ress of Soil Conservation work. ‘‘More than 900 farmers in Or ange County are carrying out similar plans on their farms, but this will be the first time the farmers of the county have had an opportunity to see the entire pro gram applied on one farm in a sin gle day. Ordinarily, we expect a farmer to "take five years to do what will be accomplished in a few hours during the field day,” Mr. Hogan said. Vets CUM To Help Approximately 200 veterans from farm training classes in four high schools will assist in the ac tual application of conservation practices on the' farm. They in clude veterans from Hillsboro, Ay eoek, and Chapel Hill_High Schools, and Orange County Training School. “.This type of demonstration should be. held in a .large number of communities, throughout the ^onth and other sections of the country. The unusual feature oT the demonstration in the Schley Community is,that the''idea was developed and has been, promoted bj’ farmer members of the Schley Grange, who recognize the urgent need of a sound p'rogram of soil conservation in their community. The effects of the demonstration are expected to extend fa‘r beyond the local area ' according to Don son. County Farm Agent. Need Is Seen “There Ts;' widespread need for a better understanding of what js necessary to conserve the few re maining inches of topsoil in Ov -unge County," said G.. O, Re it/.el, master of Orange County Pomona Grange, and past master of Schley Grange, “We need to do a com plete job of soil and water con servation such as will be demou strateri. to -got really effective re-, suits.’’ r - Fred Reitzel, Master of - Schley Grange, expressed the opinion that the event should be an outstand ing success, since it has 100 per cent support of the entire Grange. A large attendance is expected, in cluding delegations from every section ol the state. ~ ^ — — In order to assist visitors to find the farm easily, road markers will be put up alofig the highways and at nearby road intersections to di rect tiiem to the farm. The S’ate Highway Department will be re quested' to furnish . assistance in irarfflllhg t>-)c'"'reTfic * during Tire day. . ” Average Farm ^ - Thr 'Latla farm is in the Sthley neighborhood of Orange county and its income is chiefly from the sale of milk, poultry products and tobacco. It is considered an av erage Orange county farm and the jobs to be undertaken in one day usually require from three^to five years tc be completely install ed, R L. Mohioi*. soil conservation service 'representative, estimaies. Mohler emphasised the fact that, while heavy equipment will do most of the earth moving on the Latta farm, most of this sort ai work can be. done with the farm equipment on the average farm. “It is just necessary to do it quick ly this time," he explained, “while the spectators are there to see." Ed Barnes, assistant county agent, is helping to Wdrk out the details of construction work and over-all planning for the day. The jobs will include: .1. -The conversion of an. Old field' ditch into a broad .meadow outlet. 2-. Terrace building. ‘3. Pasture establishment. 4. Relocation of pasture fence. 5. Treatment of old pasture sod 6. Establishment of contour strip farming with and without ter alfalfa stand. races. 7. Putting in a sericea lespedeza field border. 8. Timber stand improvement. 9.
