Start Food For
Freedom Program
1914 Drive Which Begins This
Month Discussed By J. T.
McLaurin

The month of November marks
the beginning Of the 1914 Food
Fights for Freedom program. The
slogan for this program is, pro
duce and Conserve, Share and
Play Square"
j. T. McLaurin, Work Unit
Conservationist of the New Riv-
er Soil Conservation district,
points out that in the program
as we'll as in the slogan, produc-
ton comes first. Before we can
conserve, or share, we must first
produce, he says.
Numerous examples through
out the county indicate that such
practices as terraces, contour
farming, strip cropping, the es-
Enlistment of crop rotations
and the development of pasture
land, will contribute greatly tc
the meeting of production goals
Of equal Importance is the
utilization and management Of
idle or abandoned land ''Nearly
every farm in the county has
some idle land on it. Often this
land has fairly good soil and
could be returned to cultivation
provided soil conservation prac-
tees are established" Mr.. Nc
Laurin explained.
Land not suited for cu1tiva-
ton will often grow grass, OF
hay crops, such as kudzu or Sc
ricea, two crops vitality needed
in the production of dairy ano
livestock products" he declared
Mr.. McLaurin urges farmers tc
start thinking and working now
in terms of soil conservation as
a means of making the land pro-
duce to the maximum in 1914
conservation farming is the
best guarantee that production
will be obtained'', he stated.
