PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO. N. C. Triple-A Leader Reports '39 Soil Building Gains In a preliminary report on Tri ple-A activities in 1939, E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer of State College, says gains were made in every phase of soil build ing during 1939, and that there is promise that 1940 will be even a greater year for the Agricul tural Conservation program. The use of ground agricultural limestone increased to 108,464 tons as grants of aid alone, with individuals buying and apply ing an equal amount in excess of that required for practices under the program. This compares with 78,169 tons of lime used in 1938 and 30,584 tons used in 1937, Floyd said. In 1939 the use of triple-super phosphate as a grant of aid to taled 3,514 tons, as compared with 1,863 tons in 1938 and 370 tons in 1937. The construction of ter races totaled more than 20,000,- 000 linear feet during the past year as contrasted with 15,233,- 000 linear feet in 1938 and 9,849,- 000 linear feet in 1937. “There were also encouraging gains in the seeding of lespedeza, winter legumes, and blue grass,” the AAA executive said. “We had a greater participation in carry ing out soil building practices by complying producers in 1939 than in 1938.” Floyd estimated that 151,600 farms earned some payment for agricultural conservation and soil-building during the year, and 75 percent of the total soil-build ing allowance set apart to be earned by producers was earn ed. In addition, cotton parity pay ments are being made to 118,000 farmers, and wheat parity pay ments to 3,024 producers. o DETECTOR A device for detecting spikes and other metal objects buried in logs, frequent cause of serious sawmill acidents, has been de veloped by the U.
