Reveals Plans for 1888 Soil Program
The 1888 agricultural conservation
program is aimed directly at soil con-
servation, with as much cash-crop
control as is possible under provisions
of the AAA as it now stands.
Farmers complying with the pro-
gram will need to carry out half again
as many soil4Suilding practices as in
1887, said E. Y. Floyd, of State Col
tege, in announcing the program TOR
next Jear.
But these practices will be those
which any farmer interested in con-
serving his soil will be glad to fol-
low, ne added.
A greater effort VIII be made to
regulate the acreage of soil-depleting
crops by providing for heavier deduc-
tons from the payments of growers
who exceed their "sCil depicting
goals" Floyd stated.
If growers desire a greater degree

| Goals for depicting crops will be the
| acreages which would usually be re-
| quired to supply the demand at q
price fair to both the producer and the
| consumer The national and State
goals will be subdivided into county
and individual farm gals.
| Soil. uilding goals will include the
crops and practices needed to restore
and maintain the soil. resources of the
land.
Separate goals will be prescribed fol
cotton. tobacco, peanuts, and potatoes
if the majority Of th2 rvtato grow A:s
W tie to have this crop included There
will also be goals Tor general t:rplct-
ing crops.
| Provisions for commercial vege
tables, commercial orchards, and non
crop pasture land will be about the
same as in 1897.
The program will be administered
through state, county and community
committees composed of farmers, with
supervision of an advisory nature
given by AAA and extension service
workers.
At the beginning of the crop year
the maximum amount of payment 8
grower will be able to earn will be
calculated. Attainment of the sOil-de

for the full payment of that amount.
In determining the soil-depleting
goal for a farm, the committeeman

Good Leaf Farmers Grow
Small Grains.


No tobacco farmer should be sat-
isfied until he has grown enough small
grain and hay to supply all home and
farm needs.
Moreover, hay is expected to be so
high in price next year that tobacco
growers cannot afford to run the risk
of buying hay and growing tobacco
to pay for it,.
Tobacco fields can i.e prepared
easily to sow wheat or small grain,
said E. Y. Floyd, extension tobacco
specialist at State College.
Fertilizer applied to the tobacco
crop was not used up entirely by the
tobacco plants, he continued, and that
which still remains i'll the soil is gen.
orally sufficient to start small grains.
This means that the grains will need
only a top-dressing of nitrogen fer
tiliZer about the last of February or
the first of March.
Tobacco followed by small grains as
a winter cover crop makes a good crop
rotation, Floyd added.
He also stated that many growers
have not yet cut all their tobacco
stalks and plowed under the stubble.
at is very essential to do this to
kill the worms and diseases that would
otherwise live in the old leaves, suck
ers, and roots and be ready to attack
next years CROP he said.
The best way is to cut the stalks
with stalk cutter and pillow under
the stubbles even if no cover crop is
to be sown on the tobacco land.

BIRD CORNER

Mariel Gary, Miss Sue Kelly and r.
c.. Brake, will have details worked out
and ready on November 5, when Alex
ander Sprunt, Jr., of Charleston, S. G.
will come to Henderson to speak on
this subject. Mr.. Sprunt believes that
bird sanctuaries are of great import
ance, so great in fact that he has
made their development his life work.
He is director Of southern bird sane
tuaries of the National Association Of
lived in Henderson, and because Of
this Mr.. Sprunt is doubly interested
in this sanctuary.
. A statement of the reasons for ask
ing for the ordinance passed on
Monday and the chief method which
the bird club proposes for protecting
birds follows, This is the substance
of what Mr.. Connell and the other.
members of the committee laid before
the City Council:
The Henderson bird club proposes to
make Henderson haven for birds.
To create widespread appreciation
of beauty and of the economic value
of birds, for material welfare more
thar is usually realized is partly de-
pendent on their protection; to inter
est men, women and children in them
and thus to minimize the problems
of law enforcement and regulation is
the procedure this club will follow.
Not only is the Henderson Bird Club
with it's thirty-five or forty members
behind this movement, but also the
Henderson Garden Club, the Girl
Scouts, the Boy Scouts, and some of
the teachers with scores of children
in all the elementary schools. In order
to make this really a community ven
ture, however, the endorsement and
active participation of the City Coun-
Gil is necessary.
We, the representatives of the above
named organizations, therefore. petit
ton your sponsorship of community
bird haven co-extensive with the boun-
Diary of Henderson. We do not ask
for even a. small appropriation of
money. We do ask: u.s.
1. An ordinance making Henderson
bird haven or sanctuary, which ever
you prefer to designate it.
2. The erection on all highways
leading to the city signs stating that
you have officiany,designat Hender-
son a bird sanctuary. These signs to
be made by the Bird Club at it's own
expense. ,.-sr
3. Encouragement of the planting
throughout the town in a large way
of dogwood and other berry bearing
shrubs and trees.
4. Assurance of the active interest
of the police force in protecting song
birds as well as, game birds, all birds,
from guns and slingshots.
Again, we. propose to minimize en-
forcement, but we do want to increase
birds both for their beauty and for
their economic value. And we also
want Henderson to have the honor of
being the first municipal bird haven
in North Carolina
