CONTOUR FURROWS
ON YADKIN FARMS
How erosion practices are being
adapted to conditions found on
the average farm is well illustrat
ed in a new type of contour fur
row being constructed by farmers
in the Soil Conservation Service
area in Yadkin, according to T. L.
Robinson, Agronomist of the Mt.
Airy CCC camp.
These furrows, which are small
er and spacei more closely than
those previously used, can be
constructed with equipment found
on the average farm, Mr. Robin
son says. The new method sim
plifies the furrowing and reduces
the cost of construction.
A good example of this type of
contour furrow can be seen on
the farms of A. B. Hobson and C.
W. Maynard. These furrows were
constructed by plowing two fur
rows with an ordinary hillside
turning plow at one foot verti
cal interval last year.
In addition to contour furrow
ing, cooperating farmers in the
area this spring are seeding and
fertilizing their pastures and
mulching galled areas to provide
a complete demonstration of how
improved pastures fit into the
complete program of soil and
moisture conservation on the
farm.

L. P. Brumfield, represents one
fourth of the amount to be re

making a total of $160,000 in all.
These checks range in sums from

Farmers are requested not to
call for their checks until they re

come f6r it.

Help At Hand
A man slipped on a banana peel
and executed a very funny fall,
not being hurt, as It turned out,
but having his dignity somewhat
ruffled. When he recovered a
moment later a friend was hold
ing his hat and a number of peo
ple had formed a circle.
"What do these idlers want?"
he snarled.
"They are not idlers," explain
ed his friend, soothingly. "Here's
a doctor who wants to look you
over, a lawyer ready to bring suit
for you, and a producer of comic
films who would like to sign you
up."
Surprise Party
Harold: "Can't I go. too and
tpama?"
Mother: "Papa and I are go
ing to a surprise party."
Harlod: "Can't I go, too—and
can't we take Bobby and Susie
along?"
Mother: "No, you weren't in
vited."
Harold: "Well, don't you think
they'd be lots more surprised if
you took us all?"
It pays to choose a line and
stick to it. Climate is just weath
er with a reputation.
