Kusnerak automobile, while it was
parked on North street and which
occurred shortly after the event.

n. C.. Farmers
Soil Minded

North Carolina, the first state
in the nation to have soil con-
Servation district organized by far
mers, now has 81 districts that
cover 25,911,0OO acres, or IS per
cent of all Tar Heel state farms.
Since the Brown Creek District
was formed nine years ago, soil
conservation work has moved
rapidly, reported E. B. Garrett,
state conservationist of the Soil
Conservation Service, of Raleigh.
The fastest rate of progress,
however, has been made during
the past twelve or fourteen
months. In the fiscal year which
ended July l, almost 5000 far
mers were aided through districts
to plan and begin conservation
farming on more than 100000
acres. Garrett reported that more
than 27,6G0 North Carolina far
mers are now receiving assis-
lance through their soil conser-
walton districts.

Strip Cropping
Saves Ashe Soil
In Recent Storm
HeltOn Farmer Points Out
The Value Of Contour Strip
Cropping AS Soil Saver

A part of the Little Helton
section of Ashe county under
went terrific hail and rain
storm during this summer when
much damage was done to soil
as we'll as crops Large hail stones
damaged roofs of buildings. trees
and small crops. According to
reports it was similar to the Glen
dale Springs storm, a few years
ago.
D. F. Porter, well known far
mer of that section reported that
the damage incurred by those
who had done no strip cropping
was far greater. than those who
had. There was no comparison"
he said.
Some pastures were so badly
beaten down that cattle had to
be removed from them, he re-
ported. There was SO much hail
in some spots that it looked like
snow the next morning. Some
of it is reported to have stayed
on the ground three days.
las result of this storm, far
mers who are following soil con-
servation practices had real
opportunity to see the big ad-
vantages Of it and how their
losses were cut down." he de-
clared. He also added that he had
contacted representative in
Washington asking that the agri-
culture budget be restored.

to be normal growth due to
farmers acceptance of the pro-

portance.
Last year, however, the work
jumped "a per cent above the

tested pitts samples of soils, and
made a total of 115.1O tests on
those samples.

What's the use of guessing
When you're sure by testing
To find out your soil need
So you will not Overfeed?
When you're hungry for meat
And suffering from heat
You don't call for apple pie
And have Doc treat your eye.
So see what your soil lacks.
Feed it this and you'll get it
back,
All you expect and more,
For it has been tried before.
It's as simple as can be
Get a little sample and see
What Dr. Miles has tn say,
We assure you it's the only way.
