i FARMING IL

A weekly discussion devoted to the
Land and Farms of Garrett County,
edited by John Carter, County Agent,
and W. w. Mace. Soil C0nservationist.
IMPROVED PRACTICES
There is an old story about the farm
er who said to a County Agent But
it's no use to tell me about all these
new ideas; | don't farm now half
as we'll as | know how" Likely the
story is true. But it is also likely
that every farmer does some of the
new things that he hears or reads
about. This weekly discussion will
report on new things being tried by
some Garrett county farmers are trn-
ing out.As a result it is hoped that the
better methods known to be adapted
to our locality will be more widely
used, bringing benefits to the farmer,
his family, his land and his COM
munity
NEEDED NOW
y
made some money, even the fellow
who farmed a lot less than half as
well as he knew how. The future will
likely be different. Competition will
return to farming, just as it will to
other types of business. The farmer
who makes a go of it will be the one
who uses proven new methods; pro-
ducing big crops, and high yields of
milk or livestock as economically as
possible. Here is where the soil comes
in. The methods have got to be adap-
ted to the soil to produce results. 1t
costs just as zach or acre in time
and materials, l. ta-ae half crop on
poor soil as to produce a full crop on
good land. Especially as regards cul-
tivated crops, If properly done, this
is easier on the farmer, his equip
ment, pocketboook and his soil
SAVING SOIL AND MONEY
Luckily, some of the methods that
help save soil also increase crop
yields. in the future and right now,
too. They do it now by getting the
rainfall into the ground where crops
can use it, and by keeping expensive
lime and fertilizer in the ground in
stead of in the streams. For future
crops there is the most important adj
vantage of keeping the top soil in
place Garrett County is a little bet
ter fixed in the matter of summer
rainfall than nearby areas at lower
elevations, and a few years ago there
was some doubt that moisture con-
servation would help yields here.
Experience during the past two grow
ing seasons indicates that saving the
rainfall will produce better yields in
Garrett too. A ten percent increase
does not sound so big, but if you can
get that with little additional
trouble and no added expense, at the
time improving your soil, it might
make the difference between success
and failure.
Later on. we will give all the de-
tails, with the pros and cons, of con-
tour strip cropping and the other con-
servation measures.
