The A, B, C'a of the "conservation
farm plan" which more than half a
million United States fanners already
are using, are given in a new U. ,S.
Department of Agriculture publica
tion. ;' '.; ' ''
It is Leatet No. 249, "What Is a
Conservation Farm Plan?", prepared
by the Soil Conservation Service. As
of June 30, 1948, the leaflet reports,
571,163 farmers in soil conservation
districts had completed and were car
rying out such conservation farm
plans on more than 157' million aires.
There were 2,013 conservation dis-
tricts in the nation on that date, cov
ering more than a billion acres and
including more than three-fourths of
all the farms and ranches in the
country.
The conservation plan "a blue'
print for your farming operations"
is written by farmers and soil con
servation technicians together, adapt
ed to the land capabilities of every
acre on the farm. It shows what each
acre should be used for, whether for
crops, meadow, pasture or woods, as
well as how much cqnservation pro
tection each acre needs. The plan
sets up, for example, crop rotations
and amounts of fertilizer to be used,
land to be cultivated on the contour,
drainage and terracing needs, guides
to pasture and wdodlot management,
and so on.
At the same time, "if changes in
markets, prices or other conditions
make it desirable to change the plan,
this is fairly easy to do." The leaflet
points out that virtually all farmers
who have such a plan say their con
servation farming program has in
creased yields and profits and also

Likely To De Gutted
A glutted market in broiler pro
duction may develop by mid-summer
unless producers watch their step,
says C. F.' Parrish, poultry specialist
for the State College Extension Ser
vice. ' ;
Hatchings for January, February
and March have been greater than
at any other time in recent years, the
poultryman says. . For the nation as
a whole, broiler raisers currently are
producing 50 per cent more broilers
than at this time last year. North
Carolina's two main broiler areas,
Chatham and Wilkes, maintained rec
ord high atchings of 594,000 for the
week; ending April 2.
Parrish is especially concerned
about what will happen when the
culls and cockerels from laying flocks
begin reaching the market in mid
summer. Broilers being placed now
will be sold in direct competition with
these birds. Parrish advises farmers
buying laying flock replacements to
order sexed chicks instead of straight
run. He thinks they will be running
the risk of a serious loss if they get
straight run chicks with the intent
of selling off the cockerels at mid-season.

there are indications that some stor

of 'uncertain selling prices. Another
factor ia the declared intent of tur
