Strip Cropping
In Ashe Aids In
Soil Protection
Demonstrated on the Farm of
w. w. Miller Who Lives
Near Clifton.

The practice of strip cropping
plays an important part In the
conservation of soil resources and
prevention of erosion damage,
J. T. McLaurin, Work Unit Tech
nician for Ashe county of the
New River Soil Conservation Dis
trict, points out. He explains that
strip cropping is most effective
on uplands where the strips are
held down to a maximum width
of from 30 to IS feet wide, laid
out with the contour of the hill.
Strips laid out too wide will re-
suit in heavy losses of soil and
fertility.
During the past few years there
has been an increase in strip
cropping in Ashe county. The adj
vantages of this practice have
been demonstrated by w. w. Mil
Ter, who lives on the Stag Creek
Road near Clifton. Mr.. Miller es-
tablished strip cropping on his
farm in 1910 in cooperation with
C. J. Rich, County agent.
Mr.. Miller says that during the
heavy rains last season there was
little or no soil loss on the fields
he had in established strips while
on adjoining fields there was con-
siderable soil loss and even small
gullies occurring in a single sea-
son where land was broken solid.
Mr.. Miller also states that while
he has not been following strip
cropping long enough realize
the full benefit, he is confident
that his soil will be built up and
crop yields increased by follow
ing this practice over period of
years.
Wade Eller, Chairman of the
New River Soil Conservation Dis
trict, urges all farmers in the Dis
trict to give serious consideration
to this method of conserving the
soil when making their farm
plans.

in one single inning while the
best the Caps could do was no
more than 2 hits in any single
frame. Bill Perkins did the sling
ing for the Caps with Charlie
Davis doing the backstop work.
The highlight in this game in
favor of the Caps came in the 7th
inning when Freel Jones on short
took a hot drive from the bat of
Tompkins and threw to H. Jones
who in turn cut loose to McMil-
Ian on first for a triple play. No
errors were chalked up for either
club.
