X r.r """tyi T"Jr "St ', ' That complete soil conservation program Is practicable and will pay : v . dividends has toeen proven on the farm . of E. Crroometown countyr , ' Prior to January, 1935, Wagner's farm was being worked in track and . row crops very conducive to erosion on his sandy sloping land. An ero ' - sion control program adaptable to : the farm was worked out, including : Bi,: ...a. crop rotation plan, strip cropping, retirement of steep land to pastures, ,. contour furrowing-, terracing, and forest management all , of .which Wagner has been adhering to very closely. M . An area of two and one-half acres on a 20 per, cent slope, set aside for permanent hay crops, produced 8 tons of hay this past summer, it was reported by James M. Parks, of the Soil Conservation , Service. ? Since Wagner has increased his livestock from 2 to 9 head, he is 'increasing his hay and pasture acre age still more, fie also produces pigs for market and cultivates a fi acre field of tobacco annually. Most of the crops are to be grown on the bottomlands in a definite 3 year rotation. Corn to be grown on the uplands will be alternated with close-growing crops in strips. Barley is grown as a substitute for corn and Wagner has 18 acres in lespedeza annually. Wagner also grows Austrian winter peas, vetch, crimson clover, and rye for erosion control and to increase the fertility of his soil. There is a complete erosion control program on the Wagner farm, said Parks, and it is paying big dividends with no greater amount of labor made necessary on the part of the landowner. Winter AClz Ne;7 V H ' Poultry Burdens The winter management 'and feed" ing of poultry places an important burden on the , shoulders : of North W. - Wagner ' of the I Carolina farmers, declares C F. Par- section of Guilford 1 rish, extension poultryman at State uoliege. . , t . .r ,, In a radio talk - on .the Carolina Farm .Features program 1 Friday, December 18, , Mr. Parrish will des cribe the beat methods of caring for birds during the cold weather.. ' It is during the winter months that baby, chicks are hatched and started. The grower who pays careful atten tion, to the selection of quality eggs for hatching.', and then feeds and manages the chicks properly is in a good (position to make a substantial profit from his birds. . , , , However, says Parrish, the farmer who uses haphazard methods of se lecting hatching eggs is likely to get a devitalized crop of pullets and cockerels. . ' If possible, the poultrymen should purchase his chicks from an accre dited hatchery. Then the chance of having a poor quality flock will be minimized. The schedule in full for the week of December 14-19 follows: Monday, Dr. J. 0. Halverson. "Purohasinsr mixed Feeds for Livestock": Tues day, Glenn 0.

If Parrish, "Winter Poultry Practices"; and Saturday, Forestry Department 1937 Farm Program To Stress Soil - Building Soil-building will foe given great er emphasis in the 1937 conservation program, according to Dean I. 0. Schaub, of State College. Farmers will be encouraged to grow fewer money crops and more crops for sou-conservation and for providing food and feed for home consumption, he pointed out. Larger soil-conserving crop bases will be established, he added, and there will be stricter regulations re garding the minimum acreage of conserving crops required. The minimum payment any farm will be allowed to earn has been in creased from $10 to $20, and it may be earned by carrying out soil-build ing practices or reducing cash crop acreage or both. The rate of payment per acre for BETHEL Y. W. A, MEETS The Y. W. A. of Bethel Baptist Church held its regular meeting on Friday evening at the home of Misses Addie Mae, Pencie and Esther-Ward. The president, Miss Ruby Keaton, lead the devotional, after which a Christmas program in which several of the members took part, was ren dered. The personal service work for this month was that each mem ber send fruit to Cordell Farmer, a patient at Duke Hospital. A dainty fruit salad course was served by the hostesses.

MXAx-i., Cotton diversion payments 'will re main the same, five cents a pound on the average ; production of land taken out of cotton, up to 85 per cent of the base acreage. , Tobacco payments will also con tinue at five cents a pound, but a grower may divert only 25 per cent of his total base next year instead of 30 per cent as in 1936. The amount of peanut diversion has been reduced from 20 to 15 per cent' of the base, but the payment rate will remain at 1 1-4 cents a pound. Growers will not be encouraged to divert . their . base acreages of other soil-depleting crops, but 'when con sidered advisable, county committees will authorize them to do, so. Pay ments ; for these diversions . may be slightly less than they were this year. (Soil-depleting crop base acreages for each farm this year will be car ried over into' 1937, with such minor adjustments as may be necessary . to correct inequities.
