A Partnership Entered m second-due matter November 11th, 1936, at the Port Office, Burnsville, North Carolina, oadiir the act of March 3. 1879. . • DON’T LOOK NOW— BUT YOUR SUBSOIL IS SHOWING fTo emphasize the seri ousness of soil erosion, M. Hensley, chairman of the county PM A committee, calls attention to the “bald spots” showing through on many farms in Yancey county. These “bald spots,” says Mr. Hensley are there be cause the topsoil has been carried away. The subsoil has come to the surface. It is like the rocks which ap pear to be coming out of the ground each'year. They show up, not because they “grow” or are being push ed up from underneath, but because the soil around them is being carried away. Mr. Hensley said he was spotlighting these “bald spots” not so much with the idea that something should be done to bring them back into production as to keep them from getting bigger and developinp in other places. In most cases it is “quite a job” to bring those barren areas back into pro duction but they can be kept from increasing both in size and number. The “bald spot” is a war ning that the soil —the top soil which supports plant growth—is being carried away.

The Consolidated Hide and Metal Company of Asheville will pick up cattle, horses, o r hogs which have died on the farm, without cost to the farmer. This service not only eli minates thtf labor attached to burying the animal, it aids in keeping the farm more sanitary. When an animal dies and the owner wishes to dis pose of the carcass, the County Agent should be called immediately. the slope provides water ways, or channels, which speed up erosion. Farming on the contour, keeping the land protected with a thick-growing crop, constructing terraces, and maintaining a good supply l of organic matter in the soil, help to prevent “bald ' spots.” The Agricultural Conser vation Program, the chair • man points out, provides s financial assistance to far i mers to help them keep their land productive and protect it against washing and blowing away.
