(SCS Photos) Practicing Conservation By FRANK JETER, JR. North Carolina . farmers ranked fifth in the nation in number of new farm conservation plans between individual farm operators and the state's 92 soil and water conservation districts, according to newly compiled statistics of the Soil Conservation Service. With 2,337 individual conservation plans on large and small farms during the past fiscal year, North Carolina ranks only behind Texas, Iowa, Arkansas and Kentucky. "This shows that the farmer in North Carolina continues his keen and demonstrated interest in conservation farming and in protecting our vital natural resources," said State Conservationist Jesse L. Hicks of Raleigh, who heads the Soil Conservation Service in North Carolina. The federal conservation agency works closely with the 92 soil and water conservation districts which serve all 100 counties in North Carolina. . Other federal and state agencies also support the district supervisors in ther conservation objectives. The new conservation plans bring North Carolina's cumulative total of district cooperators to 73,927 farms covering more than 10 million acres. Active conservation plans total more than 60 thousand with 7,317,278 acres. A total of 3,141 new district cooperators were reported in conjunction with the new statistics on conservation plans. A conservation plan is prepared with the individual farmer to accomplish conservation goals that fit his farming operation. After considering resources of land, water, equipment and other factors, a plan is prepared using an aerial photograph of the farm, and a program of activities that DOUG'S AUTO & MACHINE SHOP 5V Service for Volkswagen and fi-"-' -ry Chrysler Products 5 Miki North Complete Mechanical ,Rt 3 Elizabeth City Repairs By Trained Mechanics DOUG PRITCHARD CALL 335-7059 .

Decisions to be made include those on land use cropland, pasture, woodland, ponds and other waterways and agricultural goals are considered. Some farmers may want beef or dairy animals on pasture; others may wish to concentrate on corn, soybeans, tobacco or other crops. Conservation work is emphasized in every plan. Popular practices in North Carolina include conservation cropping, with 98,980 acres; tree planting, with 23,296; contour farming, with 18,193, and stripcropping with 4,316 acres. With too-abundant water a problem in many areas of North Carolina, especially in the Coastal Plain, drainage is also a major consideration. Some 335 miles of tile drainage (placed underground) was installed during the year, while 533 miles of open drains were installed on farmland. Irrigation, in contrast, was a rather small practice in North Carolina, . in relation to some arid areas in the Western United States. Most agricultural counties in the entire nation are served by conservation districts. With a total of 3,141 counties in the nation some completely urbanized 2,931 soil and water conservation districts have been organized to serve them. North Carolina's 92 districts serve all hundred Tar Heel counties.
