HOPE re TO USE
COUNTY LIME
INFARM WORK
Development Of Deposits
on Boylston Would Keep
Money Here

Farm leaders and citizens inter
cstcd i'm improving agricultural
conditions in Henderson county
are dcvotinr their efforts toward
dcvisinr some plan whereby the
tremendous deposits of lime stone
on Boylcston Greek can be made
available for soil Improvement
During the last year, Henderson
county farmers spent nearly $4,000
for lime shipped here fro mother
sections. nj cost of SEQ a ton
in carload lots. This was only n
very small part of the amount
needed, n the soil survey showed
an approximate total oil "o'ooO
acres which should have from one
TO two tons an acre To bring II TO
state of efficient production.
Since DAYS when Western North
Carolina was owned by Indians,
the mineral wealth in the Boylcs-
ton area has been known and
utilized 10 some extent. Iron OBJ
tanned there was an important fac
tor in pioneer development. and
it's manufacture dates back TO
DAYS Of the first white frontier
men Prosecutors are investigat-
ing gold lodeS there ut the pres
ent time. in preparation Tor open
ing mining activities.
The old lime kiln road from
French Broad and Mills River val
lev led TO the site where for many
wears n kiln was in operation ana
lime produced to supply CONNER
cia lusers. This plant was aban-
doned several years ago, ana has
fallen into ruins.
The deposit which Is now at
tracing SO much interest Is IN the
vicinity of the old works. and Is
an entire mountain of diplomite
lime stone, with Il very high cal
cium carbonate content. t.Xper-
fenced engineers have estimated
that with proper equipment this
stone could be crushed and lime
made available for agricultural
purposes at approximately Sl.25
q ton-leaving as n oy-prouuct "n
unlimited amount of crushed rock
suitable for use in highway con-
struction.
Recently a delegation from Hen
derson visited the new project
which has just been placed in OPP
Grafton in Mcdowell county for
handling similar material. The
stone crushed there by the state
highway department is to be used
in many of the adjoining and near
by counties, while the lime residue
is to be sold for farm improve
ment. Investigations made there
convinced the visitors that the
limestone deposits on Boyleston
Creek, if handled by a similar
project, could be converted into
building material for roads in
much Of the mountain area.
The lime accessible within easy
hauling distance would enable
farmers of this section to reap
the vast potential benefits result
ing from soil building and im-
provemcnt.

SOIL EROSION
METHODS Are
CIVENINBRIEF
Payments Under Conserva'
ton Crop Program to
Rise Next Year

COLLEGE STATION. Raleigh,
Dec. l5.-An effective means OF
controlling soil erosion is by using
cloSc-growing plants. litter, or a
combination of the two. according
to the State college extension SER
vice and +. c. Jernigan. project
manager of the soil conservation
service i'm Davidson county.
In most eases. said Jcrnlgan, Soll
erosion occurs at the surface,
though Outlying due to excessive
rains is far more noticeable. Dur
inc the winter months erosion due
TO frost action and freezing Is
even more serious than outlying.
Since these soil movements oc-
cur at the uppermost layer. atten-
ten should be directed to holding
the topSoil in place.
According 20 Jernigan, grasses
are one of the best of all plants
for controlling erosion. Close
growing, thick-forming shrubs. he
said. with the litter produced by
them, or q mat of cntangling vines
are very good.
Sod can be developed earlier
than shrubs, but by planting
shrubs in an area we'll protected
BY closc-growing vegetation, a
condition will be created that VIII
make an ideal environment for
erosion control and q 1.-THE same
time will provide food and cover
for wildlife.
ANY kind of cover. living or
dead. protects the soil, and If a
species can be used which produc-
es food crop as well as controll-
ing soil erosion, there is far more
justification for planting 1t, said
Jernigan.

1897 FARM PROGRAM TO
STRESS SOIL-BUILDING

Soil-building viii be gwen great
or emphasis in the 1887 conserva-
ton program, according to Dean
I. q. Sehaub of State college.
Farmers will be encouraged TO
grow fewer money crops and more
crops for soil-conservation and Tor
providing food an diced for home
consumption. he pointed out.
Larger soil-conserving crop bases
will be established, he added, and
there viii be stricter regulations
regarding the minimum acreage OF
conserving crops required.
The minimum payment any farm
will be allowed TO earn has oeen
increased from $40 to $50. and IT
NAV be earned by carrying out
soii-building practices or reducing
cash crop acreage or both.
The rate of payment per acre
for carrying out Soil-building prac,
tees will be in line with those paid
this year. -,
Cotton diversion payments will
remain the same, five cents a
pound on the average production
of land taken out of cotton, up TO
IS per cent of the base acreage.
Tobacco payments will also con-
tinue at five cents a pound, but a
grower may divert only 20 per
cent of his total base next year IN
stead of 80 per cent as in 1886.
The amount of peanut diversion
has been reduced from 20 TO 10
FER cent of the base, but the pay.
ncnt rate will remain at ! Ia
cents a pound.
Growers will not be encourag-
cd u divert their base acreages
of other soil-depleting CROPS but
when considered advisable, coun-
" committees will authorize them
20 do SO. Payments for these d.
versions may be slightly less than
they were this year.
Soil-depleting crop base acrea.
gcs for each farm this year will
be carried over into 1887, with
such minor adjustments as may be
necessary TO correct inequities.
More consideration will be given
dairy farmers. truck growers, and
orchardiStS, the dean also pointed
out.

CheapLivestock
Feeds Are Not
Most Economical
State Animal Nutritionist
Explains Use Of Bought
Mixed Feeds

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Dec. l5.-The cheapest livestock
feeds are not always the most eco
nomical.
This applies particularly to the
mixed feeds high in fiber content
but low in feed value, said DR..
j. o. Halverson, animal nutrition
list at the \. c. Agricultural En-
pertinent Station.
In mixed feeds, the protcins,
fats, and carbohydrates make up
the feed value, while fiber merely
adds weight and bulk. Fiber is
harder to digest, he continued.
When buying mixed feed, farm
ers should read the feed tag, or
the list of ingredients printed on
the bag, taking special note of
the percentages Of protein and OF
crude fiber.
Cottonsced meal containing al
per cent protein costs more than
when containing only 26 per cent,
yet the higher priced feed may
well be worth the difference, DR..
Halvcrson pointed out.
The difference in protein con-
tent is due to the amount of hulls
ground with the meal. The more
hulls. the more bulk and weight,
hut the less protein and other
feed elements.
The same principle is true of
wheat middlingS or shorts, he
went on; the more bran put in,
the lower the protein content and
the larger the amour tof crude
fiber.
To buy feed economically, farm
ers should be familiar with the
principal feeds and their ingredi.
ents. The annual reports of feed
inspection may be obtained free
from the state feed chemist at
Raleigh.
Some of the feeds that should
be studied are: alfalfa. cotton
seed, linseed, flax, milk, oat, corn,
wheat, and soybean products, DR..
HalvcrSon stated.

Storing Excess
Crops May Aid
All Concerned
Dean Schaub Receives Out.
line of Project From
Dept. Of Agriculture

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Dec. ia system of storing ex-
cess agricultural commodities in
times of plenty so they will be
available in times of scarcity is
seen as having great possibilities
for both producers and consum-
crS.
Such a form of crop insurance
would tend to stabilize prices and
keep the supplies in line with de-
mand, according to information
sent Dean !. o. Schaub, of State
College by the U. S. Department
Of Agriculture.
This is not considered COM
plcte substitute for other meas
ures, the dean explained, but it
may prove to be one more aid in
strengthening the general farm
program.
In bumper crop years. farmers
could pay their insurance prem
iums by placing their excess pro-
duction in storage. Then in lean
years, they would receive the
stored commodities as payments
on their losses.
The Department Of Agriculture
has been investigating the posi-
bilities of this form of crop in
surance for cotton. corn, wheat,
and it may be applied to other
crops. .
However, it is thought that at
first experiments should be made
on, a moderate scale with one or
two crops. =
q Wheat may be the first crop
tried, as it can be stored satisfac-
torily and as wheat growers APP
pear to be the most eager to try
this form Of crop insurance, it
was stated.
Henry A. Wallace, secretary of
agriculture. said: "The depart
ment's studies indicate the posi-
bility for all-risk crop insurance,
covering a percentage OF indl-
vidual farmers average yields
over Il period Of years. /.
participation in the plan would
be optional. Premiums on a given
farm would be based on the loss
experience on that farm over a
period Of years.

colored, and their assistants, now
includes 29S men and women who
are stationed in the various coun-
ties to work with rural people.
The agents have been called to
review past accomplishments and
study plans for improving extern
sion work in 1887, said John w.
Goodman. assistant director of
the extension service.
"Our work now covers virtual
IL every aspect of farming and
rural life" he stated. "but we
must seek constantly to improve
our service to farm people IN
making agriculture more profta.
bic and rural life more fruitful
and satisfying.
"The farmers problems are
many and far-reaching. They deal
with social and economic matters
as well as with the production OF
crops and livestock and the con-
scrvation of the SOIL"
One of the newer aspects OF
extension work is that of encour-
aging farm people TO give more
study to agricultural, economic,
and social conditions, and to dis
cusS these matters with their
neighbors for their mutual benc-
fit. '....
DR.. Carl +. Taeusch. chief of
the program study and discussion

 Issue In Doubt 1 Commenting on the problem this morning, the local superintendent Of schools pointed out that the absence of these intricate wrangles is to the credit of the city. During the past few months, in other cities through out the state, where respective boards of education have been trying to oust married teachers and have been constantly enbroiled in difi- culty as Q result of this movement, the situation has been anything but smooth. Here in Waterbury, where there Is no written rule and where some of the opinions point to the fact that nothing could be done # married teacher chose to keep right on teaching, there is still an under standing that said teachers, unless the case be an exception must re- sign.
 Annual Turnover
 It Is also interesting to note that in some of the other cities in the state, where these laws are not yet formly established, the waiting list of young women who graduate from schools grows each year. Tn Water bury, where the waiting list is large enough, there is still . turnover each year when women teachers marry and resign from their posi- tions.
