Treating Posts Quadruples Life Finally fed up with fence posts that rotted four or five years af ter l>elng put into the ground, R. if). Currln and his father of Route 2, I lenderson solved their prob lem by producing posts that will last 10 to 20 years at a cost of 20 cents per post. John L. Gray, in charge, of forestry extension for N. C. State College, reports that a few years ago the Currins were using un j treated white oak posts. The posts I thai were used near the barn lot i decayed in four to five years. I Not. long ago the two men' de ; cided to extend the life of their fence posts by treating them. fTiiey- built a large- rectangular woikIcp box and lined It with a tliih layer of galvanized iron, soldering the joints to make It ii<|iii<l-tight. They placed the tank under a shelter arid placed a chain hoi-ii above it. ' \ W hen other farm Work is not i pressing, they go to the woods and cut down Bow- growing, crowded trees. They cut the trees' into post lengths, bring the posts ; into the barnyard, set them up June at' a t|hte ona sawhorse frame and peel them With a draw- ; | knife as time .permits.

A. Johnson, Cum berland County farm aent for the Extension Service. Johnson says that 10 Negro farmers interviewed In Cumber land County in 1990 used their land as follows: improved pas ture, 1 percent; Idle land, 20 per cent; corn, 26 per cent, tobaoco, 4 per cent; cotton, 25 percent; small grain, 5 per ent; hay and other crops, 19 per cent. The biggest weakness In this land use, In view of the increas ed demand for livestock prod ucts, Is the small grain and. the high percentage of Idle land. If this Idle land were used each farmer would have 20 per cent more farming land added to his rotation that could be us ed toward Increasing improved pasture and small grain acreage, Johnson says. The county agent points out that 20 years from today there will, fee an additional 40 to 50 million persons to feed in the United States. To feed these peo ple, farmers must use all of thejr available resources to best ad vantage. "How well your farm will pro-' duce in 1973 is going to be de termined by how well your re sources are used now," Johnson declares.
