The work Of soil conservation
must continue to progress on
each farm in the district. The
entire project could not get off
the ground until 50 per cent Of
the land above the dams was
under approved soil conserva-
ton plans. This figure was
reached three years ago, and
the work done is now ready to
bear fruit
More ACP Funds
To further aid the landown-
ers in establishing good soil
practices, additional ACP funds
will come into the county ASC
office. The additional funds can
not be used locally except in the
Buffalo watershed area. Some
of these funds will provide so
per cent or more of the cost of
establishing good soil practices.
Good soil practices include
such things as strip cropping
terracing. tree planting. pas
ture improvement, etc. Com
plete details on this will be
available at the county ASC of

ll6 Square Miles
The Buffalo River watershed
involves 74.700 acres Of la n d
lying roughly in ali area sur
rounded by Farmville, Pamplin,
Darlington Heights, Worsham
md back to Farmville.
There are nine dam sites
planned in the area which will
create lakes varying from 10 to
II acres. The highest dam
breast will be 40 feet.
Before any approval was
given to the Buffalo Watershed
1t had to be established that
he project was economically
sound That means that within
so year period it is estimated
that the watershed will repay
more than its costs. Thus. the
new payroll" will pay yearly
dividends in better farming to
the tune Of almost two million
dollars in the next so years.
The cost ratio figured by the
soil conservationists is 1.2l to
l. This means that benefits re-
sulting from the completed pro-
iect will yield an actual money
return not less than that ratio.
For every Sl.00 put into the
project, it will pay back at least
1921.

mandate" funds coming from
the state annually.
The proposed bills which were
not enacted would have negated
existing law which prevents any

The school board. however
will receive 81, l6l from the sale
OF timber on state forests within
the county. Prior to the special
session of 1859. such funds were
assigned for school purposes. but
the freedom of choice" session
clamped the requirement of sup
ervisor appropriation for all
expenditures. The last Legisla-
ture passed a bill permitting
these forestry funds to be ex-
pended for school purposes with
out an appropriation. This now
passed bill was also requested
by the school board.
