C. L. Kelly, County AGA Chairman,
Points To need For More Terracing

build these terraces just as soon
as possible"
Mr. C. L. Kelly stated that
under the 1949 Conservation Po-
gram part of the cost of build
ing terraces viii be paid with
Conservation Funds.
The total cost to a farmer will
probably be about ST 90 per hun
dred linear feet, of which amount
5000 per hundred linear feet will
be paid by the Government, Any
farmer wishing TO engage in this
practice may build his terraces
this fall or any time in 1949, but
must first obtain prior approval
of the County Committee. The
terraces will be laid out by a
technically trained supervisor,
who will inspect the work after
completion. The farmer must
agree to maintain the terraces
and cultivate the crops on the
contour. Before building the ter
races he should establish the
waterways necessary to dispose
of the runoff from the terraces.
There is also Payment for doing
this work, which will consist of
seeding lespedeza sericea or, if
the waterways have steep slopes,
kudzu, or Bermuda grass sod,
should be used. The payment
Tor these sod waterways is $0.75
per thousand square feet.
One of the big jobs of the Agri-
cultural Conservation Program
is clearing up muddy water, SAYS
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-10-07

In this county we are still
losing lots of good top soil when
ever there is heavy rain, says
c. l.. Kelly, Chairman of the
Halifax County Agricultural
Conservation Committee. while
we have built good many thou
sand feet of terraces in recent
years under the AAA Program
there are still many farms in the
county which should make use
of the help which they can get
under the l949 ACP program to
terrace the sloping fields, If we
are going to maintain and build
up the fertility of our farms for
future generations. we should

county. There were IA blue rib
bon and 7 red ribbon calves. Mr.
Haig reports this was the first
show that he had never given a
white ribbon.
The recent rains will prove
beneficial to the fall temporary
pastures. These pastures sown
on firm seed bed few weeks
ago are now beautiful. 1t seems
that the army fall worm is also
fond of these pastures. Walter
Bender, Norlina, reported Sc
veral days ago that the army
worm is just destroying one of
his pastures.

Kelly. In most cases muddy
water means that good topsoll
is leaving the farm,
One of the most effective
means of checking water
erosion, the Chairman points out,
is to tie the land down with grass
and legumes, The heavy close
growing vegetation protects the
soil from heavy rains and breaks
the flow of water over the sur
face. The roots lead the water
into the soil and at the same
time hold the soil together
Among ACP practices which
help control erosion through the
establishment of sod are seeding
legumes and grasses, renovation
of pasture, maintenance, the APP
plication of lime and phosphate
which increase the growth and
control of grazing on range and
pasture.
Among other means of con-
trolling erosion is to place OBJ
structions in the way of the
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-10-07

water. The water is held
back on the land and if there is
more than can soak into the soil,
ii is spread out or diverted to a
sod waterway where it can drain
away without taking the soil with
it. Practices in this group, the
Chairman indicates, are dams,
terraces, contour burrows,
spreader bitches, and cross slope
farming.
When drainage water already
has started cutting away the
land, there are a number of pro-
gram practices to help the far
mer- rip-rapping, weirs, check
dams, fumes, and lining drain
age bitches with materials that
protect the banks. Sometimes
fast-growing plants are started
in bitches and gullies to hold the
soil and help fill them up.
Full Information on all of
these practices is available al
the County Agricultural Conser-
walton Office.

SERVICE CHARGE" BUSINESS

A residential area meat and grocery market pro prietor in Portland Ore. has announced that hence forth he will deal in meats and groceries on service fee" basis-charging customers S5 month for the privilege of buying their commodities from him at wholesale or at 20 per cent off the list prices
 The event recommends itself as high cost of living feature but doubt if it signals any epochal change in the conventional system of retail trade In the first place the universal of such system wculd have to depend on existence of exorbant retail markup in the value of groceries. And this simply is not the case.
 The retail grocers markup of profit is something that has been adjusted by demand and competition over long period of years and 1t is not far out of line with realities any given moment Mass buying techniques can achieve economies-ths of course is the reason for the price derentials sometimes to be found in the big markets The smaller grocers while less able capitalize purchases in bulk do some times cffer compensations in the form of deliveries easier accessibility and So forth.
 Whatever the status of the present retail grocery service fee for their share of the work and expense in making commodities available to the customers, or delivering them to the users homes The markup or element of profit in a of beans the grocers shelf actually represents the service charge which has been calculated very painstakingy period Of time as the amount necessary to recompense the grocer for risking his money in it's purchase in maintaining the staff and the store to house and dispense 1t and where delivery is involved in delv ering t.

Nice Clean Work
Cincinnati Enquirer


 Any young. newly married couple should be able to struggle along the equivalent of $200000 year. That is the amount which the House of Commons approved for Princess Elizabeth and her consort Prince Philip.
 As might be expected, there some squawks from certain Labor members, who made reference to "gilded cage luxury" Similar remarks are going to be made in this country by those who feel that the British do not appear to need our financial help if they afford to pay their heir apparent to the throne and her husband the huge allowance just mentioned Yet the vote in favor of this amount came from government that has Labor majority In ether words, the Socialists feel that a weheeed royal family is a luxury they can afford.
 Sir Stafford Cripps, known the "austerity' Chancellor of the Exchequer, out strongly in favor of granting the full allowance the grounds that it necessary for the simple but dgnified manner in which the royal bride and groom would have to discharge their responsibilities.
 Strange as it may sound to us in America, who have had much experience with the king business British royalty works especially that branch of it that is within few steps of the throne. But for S200000 year most of gladly would christen few batleships, attend horticultural exhibits visit coal mine or two. It's nice work. if you're born to it.
