A recent summary made
of 1946 Farm Plans with
the Yancey County AAh
Committee, as request for
assistance through the 1946
Agricultural Conservation'
Program, reveals that 81
per cent of the county’s
farm operators have map
ped out their plans for the
current year. j
According to M. D. Bai-J
ley, chairman, Yancey coun
ty AAA committee, approx
imately 2800 tons of lime
stone and 38,000 pounds of
phosphate are expected to
be used to improve the
quality of crops and to pro
mote the growth of cover
crops that will aid in re
tarding erosion.
Mr. Bailey said that the
amount of- limestone now
being used on Yancey coun
ty farms is 15 times great
er than was used in 1936
and phosphate 10 times
greater. “Despite the fact” |
Mr. Bailey added, “it is on-'
ly a small part of the amo-;
nt which should be used
each year on our farmland.”

Observed Saturday
• Poppy Day will be obser
ved in Yancey county and
throughout the United
States on Saturday, May 25,
Mrs. Hobart Ray, president
of the local American Leg
ion Auxiliary, has announ
ced.
Memorial poppies to be
worn in honor of the dead
of both world wars will be
distributed on the streets

unteer workers from the
Auxiliary and cooperating
organizations. Co n t ribu
tions received in exchange
for the flowers will be used
in relief and rehabilitation
work for disabled veterans,!
their families, and the faim
ilies of the dead.
The wild poppy ,of France
and Belgium became the
memorial flower of Ameri
ca’s dead of both World
Wars because, amid the de
solation of the battlefield
in the first World War the
poppies were the one touch
of nature’s beauty that sur
vived. In the minds of the
men fighting there, the
poppies became associated j
with their dead comrades, j
