county farmer who is now grow
ling more corn on two acres OF
land than he did on four acres
several years ago. How does he
do it? By following a soil con-
servation plan consisting of a
good rotation, winter cover crop
turned under, heavy application
of manure, contour cultivation,
good seed, and using the right
kind and amounts of fertilizer
and lime as indicated by a soil
test. This farmer is D. J. Jones,

munity, who likes to show any
one who stops by his farm the re-
suits of his soil conservation
farming.

We won't admit that Allegheny
farmers are doing better job of
soil conservation farming than
Ashe farmers, but these few re-
suits from our neighboring coun-
ty do show that farmers are tax
ing advantage of the service
furnished them through their
Soil Conservation District and
seem to be getting results.

Congressman R. L. Doughton
has field of ladino clover in the
bottom just across the road from
Laurel Springs post office.
Rush Thompson has four acres
of this clover on his farm at
Glade Valley. Ladio clover is a
giant strain of white Dutch
clover which makes about four
! times the growth of white Dutch.
It's mighty fine for pasture or
hay if we'll fertilized and lined
The Soil Conservation Service
recommends that it be seeded
at the rate of 2 pounds per acre
mixed with IL pounds orchard
grass on well-drained land that
has been fertilized and lined &C
cording to a soil test.
Emerson Black, Allegheny
county agent, when looking at
the hay cut from Mr.. Thompson's
field, said the other day that it
was as good or better than first
class alfalfa hay. Let's don't Ret
Allegheny get ahead of us on tho

county has one farmer who owns
a farm devoted entirely to the
production of white pine timber
"a real tree farmer?
Mr.. M. H. Scott, of Whitehead,
recently bought large farm near
Sparta that had been reforested
with $4,000 white pine seedlings
several years ago under the SUI

Mr.. Scott plans to complete this
planting with $4,000 white pines

Scott, he is planning to manage
the farm for timber growth
alone. He says he bought it for

Weekly Items OF Interest To
AShe Farmers
BY McLAURIN AND GREENE

The New River Soil Conserva-
ton District includes Ashe and
Allegheny counties, Allegheny
being the other half of the Dis
trict. Since many in Ashe have
friends and relatives in the ad-
joining county, your conservation
list thought Ashe farmers might
be interested in what Allegheny
farmers are doing in the way of
soil conservation farming.
AS Carl Blevins says, he likes
to occasionally climb up the
mountain behind his house in
Chestnut Hill and look across the
river into Allegheny county and
see what they are doing to solve
their soil conservation problems.
One day he saw a set of strips in
the distance that were so out
standing that he finally went
over there to see whose they were.
They belonged to Van Miller at
Laurel Springs. Carl says Van
is doing a mighty fine job of soil
conservation farming, but he
won't admit that it's any better
than Ashe county farmers are do
ing.
