TERRACES ALONE CAN'T
pREVENT SOIL EROSION

rorracing farm is not the only
..ino that is needed to stop it from
tli'l .5ino away and improve the soil
Wi O. Schaub, director of the Agri-
.It,ral Extension Service of North
Carolina State College of Agriculture
while terracing and contour cult
otion is the foundation of any good
'nnsion program on most North Caro-
~ farms, he pointed out that some
.h;no needs to be done to take care of
.he water at the end of the terraces,
and that farming methods need to be
adonted that will check erosion be-
t,yaen the terraces and put every acre
-. +he farm to uses to which it is suit
ed.
Actual tests at the Soil Conserva-
tion Service Experiment Station at
ctatesville show that tons of rich top
coil wash out the ends of the best
terraces that can be built, where farm
mo methods that check erosion be-
tween the terraces are not followed
AS long as water runs down unpro-
tected slopes soil will go with it, Dean
Schaub said Experience in erosion
control demonstration areas in North
Carolina, however, show that farmers
can do much to protect their fields by
terracing them, farming on the con-
tour so that each row is a little ter
race. keeping the land covered with
close-growing soil-holding and soil
building crops as much as possible,
rotating crops, planting badly eroded
fields and bad strips across good fields
to close-growing soil-improving or hay
crops, negotiating outlets to safety
carry water from terraces, developing
meadow strips to protect natural
draws in the field, conturing and inn
proving pastures, putting badly erod-
ed land back to trees, and planting
vegetation in gullieS.

Q. How much fertilizer should I use
on my tobacco bed?
A. Two hundred pounds of 4-8-3
mixture for each 100 yards of bed is
sufficient. However, if a low grade
fertilizer is used it should be supple
mented with from so to 100 pounds Of
cottonseed meal provided the meal is
thoroughly mixed with the soil. Broad
cast the fertilizer and thoroughly mix
it with the upper three or four inches
of soil. If manure is used be sure it
contains no tobacco leaves, stalks, or
roots and do not place any tobacco
trash on the beds as this will carry
diseases such as mosaik, black root
rot, and Granville wilt
O. When should grain be fed the
laying hen for maximum production?
A. Most poultrymen in North Caro-
lima are getting high production by
feeding a small amount of grain in the
morning and the remainder at night
while some are feeding a small amount
at different intervals during the day.
This latter practice overcomes idle
ness in the bird and increases the acti-

It came from a little man whose

It was the Rabbit all right, the

SO, while some of the kids were
throwing their Sunday pitches,
Lanahan held back until he felt
that he could cut loose. But even
then, he was too wise to cut loose.
He fought off the temptation to
show the boss. AS a result, Lana.
han right now is ready to go a few
innings at top speed.
Dick learned a lesson last year
that will help him for the rest Of
his life in baseball. He was daz-
zled by some of the veterans on
the team. and trying to follow
their pace, found himself on the
road to Chattanooga.
Almost Ruined
It wasn't so good down there,
where certain kinds Of managers
expect a kid to pitch regardless Of
sore arms. Lanahan couldn't
comb his hair without help for a
while, and his arm was almost
ruined. But that's all put behind
him, long ago and far away, and
Dick is looking to q great future.
"I feel that I'm ready for the
big time," said Dick. There was
no brag in the young man. He
really thinks he can make the
grade, and the probabilities are
that ne will be in Griffith Sta
dunn this year.
Lanahan always was slow
starter" said Clark Griffith, "but
he looks better to me this year
than he has i'm previous years.
If he can get the ball over the
plate, he will be hard to beat.
Control will tell the tale with
him."
Lanahan won 13 games for the
Lookouts last year and lost IL.
Considering that some of those
games were lost during the time
that Dicks arm was SO sore that
he hardly could use it, he did right
well. Perhaps he will step up with
players like Gehrig, Frisch and a
few others who made the big
leagues in their native cities.
Buddy Myer reported last night
with a new misery. The second
baseman has a stiff neck, and
Bucky Harris is beginning to worry
a little. Buddy feels all right, but
so far he has been compelled to
60 at a pace which may leave him
trailing the rest Of the field, and
that would be a real >disappoint
ment to those who are counting
upon Buddy making q complete

that Myer take his tine," Har-
ris explained. that suits me
all right and I might say that
ANYTHING calculated to bring
