In addition to the above we

1t is proposed that the reloca-

Success Stories
OF Negro Farmers

Little Rock, Arkansas
Clyde Jones, Owings, Maryland
is the owner of 1870 acre tobacco
farm. One hundred acres are clear
ed The cash crop on this farm is
twenty acres tobacco. Other fields
are used for pasture, small grain,
corn and hay. Mr.. Jones states
he is in the Triple-A program,
through which he gets lime phos-
plate and seeds for cover crops.
The use of one and cover crops
has increased the YIELD on the
Jones farm an average of so per
cent since joining the Triple-A.
Erosion has also been controlled
to a great extent through the use
of cover crops.
Much of the success on the Jones'
farm is due to good soil manage
ment pratices, and following a
good Live at home program"
They raise hogs, cattle and poul-.
try for home use, making sure
to produce enough livestock to
have some for market. Two new
buildings have been added to the
farm. Recently he has added a
brooder house and a new laying
house to take care of the poultry
program.
Not long ago a new saw mill
was purchased and set up on the
farm, with which lumber is pro-
ceSsed from the eighty acres wood
land. The Jones farm is we'll
