SOIL WORK SHOWN
ON $4,000 ACRES
Nearly 5000 Farms In State
Have Demonstrations
of Erosion

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. s.
More than $4,000 acres of North Car
DINA farm land in demonstration pro-
iects and CCC camp areas assigned to
the Soil Conservation Service are now
covered by cooperative agreements,
providing for complete program OF
erosion control on nearly 5000 farms.
Strip cropping, which was virtually
an unknown farming practice in
North Carolina four years ago, has
now been established on more than
&c 900 acres within these areas, &C
cording 20 the annual report of E. b.
Garrett. state coordinator, for the fis-
cal year ended June 80.
More than $500 miles of approved
terraces have been constructed, pro-
tecting more than $4,000 acres of cul-
tivated land, and approved rotations
are heino established on about 100000
acres. DISTINGUISHING crops have
been increased by more than 3o,oOo
acres.
Proper woodland management, re-
firing of steep and badly erOded
clones TO new forest and permanent
hay crops, wildlife development thro-
ugh the use of erosion-resistlng plants
developments of pastures, and other
erosion-control methods are establish
ed in cooperation with State Col
leoe Extension Service to provide
complete program of soil and water
conservation on each OF the 4,9z1
farms now covered by cooperative
agreements in project and camp
areas, Garrett said.

teams. This equipment was bought
at wholesale by S. M. Crowder, who
was on last years finance and pur-
chasing committee. Mr.. Strange had
$3.50 given him additionally by indi-
viduals in the city and Mr.. Perry two
dozen balls, but with these exceptions
all the money that made possible one
or more games at each North and
Henderson last summer, giving re-
rceaton to the players, and often to
as many as $50 spectators, from the
middle of April to the middle of Oc-
tober was given through this united
community effort.
Expenditures Justified
W. r. Turner, recreation chairman
for 1886, said in his report at the end
of his term of office that he felt that
these games played continuously for
period of six months, with crowds as
spectators, would justify the Fedora
TONS 1886 expenditures if it had done
nothing else during that year.
When MI. Perry was asked in the
spring of this year regarding his
needs for 1887 he said, Just some
balls, the equipment given me in 1885
and 1886 is as good as new except
for balls" Later however, Mr.. Perry
had the chance to buy some heavier
equipment for his team, which lis
older now and more mature, for $500
Mr. Perry said that this equipment
was as good as new and that if bought
now would cost $50 to $50. The re-
creation hoard set up by Mr.. Tank
ersley voted Mr.. Perry $3.50 and Mr..
CODY Williams the other available $3.50
for equipping a soft ball team he was
organizing among the young men of
South Henderson. The mill has given
Mr.. Perry balls for his team this year
and uniforms.
1t. Hughes also organized a soft
ball team at South Henderson for boys
under II, and the Federation is help
ing him in various ways. At the re-

board, 81 was voted to North Hen
delson team being organized by
Messrs. Clayton, Ross and Stokes. MI.
Strange's team Is also getting under
way. Illness in his home prevented
Mr.. Strange putting his team into the
field before this time.
Hut At North Henderson
5. Plans are being made to rapid
ly complete the drive for the hut Tor
older boys and girls under sponsor
ship at North Henderson. In addition
to the 5000 on hand from last year,
$1,000 is being asked for organlza-
lions and individuals. Mr.. Rollins OF
the city schools has made the admir-
able suggestion that the hut be JOIN
ed to one of the wings of the North
Henderson school. The additional
cost of the brick veneer would be fully
set off by the saving in plumbing;
and attached to the school this pro-
perty would have greater protection
than if built apart from it.
History of Program
What is the history of the present
recreation program, the only cltywlde
program Henderson has had? Inc
question has already been answered
in part In 1885 all plans except the
two projects already noted were in
terrupted by the epidemic. In 1886
under the leadership of w. r. Turner,
$1,000 was asked to build a hut at
North Henderson, to operate four play
grounds, and sports for older boys.
The proposed hut had to be given up
in 1897 because only $7O3.52 of the
$1,000 asked was paid in to the treas
urer and also because of the jump in
building costs that took place at that
time.
The committee for 1886 spent $500
operating four Fairgrounds work for
the older boys of Henderson, and Civ
ing the equipment for the North and
South Henderson teams. Five sup

How does the recreation program
here compare with that of other
places? Greensboro, Asheville, Dur
ham and some other large cities in
North Carolina have very costly re-
creation programs; while only a few
other communities have any COM
munity program at all. How do we
compare with the capital city? Ra-
leigh is operating five white and four
Negro Fairgrounds and besides the
WPA and any civic club aid, the city
itself is voting $1,000 year for main
tenance, and is being asked for $14,
900 year instead of $4,000.
Henderson is operating three play
grounds for white children and two
for Negro children, and besides what
the WPA gives in the way of super
vision $500 is being given locally this
year for Fairgrounds and field sports
5000 from the county and $500 from
the city.
A week or two ago a number of a
recreation commission of one of the
large places in North Carolina ex-
pressed admiration at the way the
federation last year, and again this
year, provided a committee to visit
and appraise the playground work
weekly, and the demand and provi-
sion for a daily checking of attend
ance and equipment and added, 1--WE

probably these:

2. Greater care taken of equip
ment on the part of those in charge
of playground.
3. A real study of the needs and
wishes of the teen age boys who live

than at North Henderson, and neeos
to be worked up. A rally Tor par
ents and children of both North ana
South Henderson had been planned
for july II and Is. The death OF a
beloved citizen of the community pre-
vented the carrying out of this plan
for increasing attendance. AS the
band left for a two weeks stay at
camp the following Sunday, the raj
lies had to be given up until the open
ing of the Fairgrounds in 1888.
Among The Negroes
The two Negro Fairgrounds are I'M
der the fine management of the wife
of the minister of the Negro Baptist
church and her assistant, Richard
Vaughan.
These three white and two Negro
Fairgrounds are all WPA projects.
Clubs Helping
2. Clubs. In addition to Fairgrounds
and splendid Scout work under r. G.
Brake and the Lions Club and under
Miss Carrie Burton, there are a num-
Der of clubs which will be noted in
order of their founding. For years
Mrs. Alex Cooper has had a club at
the Parish house at North Henderson
for girls and small children. In 1886
Rev. Luther Medlin organized a club
of North Henderson boys. When Mr..
Medlin left Henderson year ago,
no effort was made to continue this
club. A club house seemed then, and
still does, necessity if club work is
to be done successfully. Now that
the proposed hut seems a certainty

ervisors, each for two months work,
were paid out of the $500, the rest
going for equipment. In August the
WPA headquarters in Raleigh sent
representative here, VINO said that
our efforts were being talked about
all over the State, that we had done
well considering the small amount of
money for operation, and who offered
to "fit into" our program. When the
WPA took over the direction of the
work, all playground equipment was
turned over to it as our required con-
tributiOn. This equipment had been
collected at the end of the playground
term by Miss Claudia Hunter, Miss
Sue Kelly and Mrs. S. E. Chavasse,
and stored by w p. Turner.
Trained Directors
The WlPA has 4 rule that no one
may be head or a WPA recreation pro-
iect unless he has had special train
ing in physical education, and for
time this held up the work in Hen
derson; because no Vance county per-
son with physical education training
was available. Miss Knott, of Gran
vile colOlty, was head of the pro-
ject for about two months, and when
she left for school work in Alabama
it was learned that Mrs. w. D. Payne
had had physical education training
and was offered the place and accept
ed it.
Every provision has been made to
safeguard the spending of this public
money: A man outstanding in this
community for personal integrity has
been treasurer. A chairman of finance
and purchasing signs a voucher for
every check the treasurer draws. A
supervisory visiting committee visits
every playground once a week, either
individually or as a group. A report
is filled in daily by every playground
head showing actual number of chill
dren present that day and noting any
equipment lost or broken that day.
