Soil Conservation
With Negro Farmers
By THOMAS L. DELTON
Soil Conservation Service
Twenty-five farmers from the Oc-
mulgee Soil Conservaton District at
tended the Sixth Annual Southwide
Negro Farmers Soil Conservation
Jamboree Aug. 22.The counties that
had Negro farmers represented
were: Houston, eight; Peach, 5;
Macon, 2; Dooly, 2; Pulaski, 2;
Crawford, 1; Wilcox, 1; Bibb, 1, and
Taylor, 3.
North Carolina’s number ono*soil
conservation farmer was chosen
the south’s champion Negro con
servation farmer.
The honor was voted to Turner
Lancaster of Wilson County, N. C.,
at the annual south-wide conserva
tion jamboree.
Laneascter, who lives on the farm
of J. O. High Jr., is the first tenant
farmer to win the title since the
conetst started six years ago.
He is the father of 10 children
who help him on the farm.
Turner won his second honor
Aug. 21, over contestants from 11
other areas. He was accompanied
by C. W. Foster, Negro farm agcui.
Each winner received $100 00
Turner worked out his soil and
water conservation plan several
years ago in an effort to prevent
rich top soii from washing away.
All of his sloping cropland was
terraced with farm equipment, and
meadow outlets were seeded to
take care of surplus water from the
terraces.
He planted rows on a contour
basis, using terraces as guides. He
followed this practice in tobacco as
we as corn rows. '
Georgia Songster Has
Composed More Than
300 Religious Hymns
Calhoun, Ga„ Oct. 8—A Gordon
countian who learned to read mu
sic with, the aid of atecherr has
composed 300 religious hymns two
of which probably will live for
ever.
Charles E. Moody, 60, of Cal
houn, born and reared in Whitfield
county near Tunnel Hill, did not
come from a family of musicians.
But early in life he took a fancy
to church music and with a lot of
hard work has made the profession
a success from the standpoint of
(he number of songs written and
, the quality of them.
Most church going folks in the
southland have been singing and
hearing Moody’s songs for the past
30 years. Songs like “Drifting Too
Ear from the Shore,” published in
1022 and “Kneel at the Cross,” re
leased a year later, are still sung
in thousands of churches. The lat
ter song has been translated into
two fofeign languages, Spanish and
Chinese.
Popularity of most of his compo
sitions faded away after a year or
two and, in turn, others were pub
lished and received with enthusi
asm by music lovers throughout the
South.
Currently Moody is taking afi old
hymn,“In Heavenly Love Abiding”
and giving it a new tune. The song
with the new musical setting will
be published soon.

] At four we know all the ques
tions.
Community group meetings urn
der the guidance of Charlie Hicks
local colored Vocational Agriculture
teacher were recently conducted at
County Line Church and Potterville
colored school. Soil conservation
films were shown to the groups by
local soil technicians, emphasizing
the need for conservation and bet
ter pastures, and temporary graz
ing.
Regular meetings have been
planned for the communities of
Potterville and Counly Line. The
Pottervil’e group will meet Friday
before the second Sunday of each
month at 8 p. m., while the Coun
ty Line group will meet Wednes
day following the first Sunday in
each month at 8 p. m. At thesei
meetings appropriate and timely
soil conservation and other agricul
tural subjects will be discussed.
The following agricultural agen
cies have assisted in conducting
these meetings: Messrs M. P. Dean
and W. R. Bowen, Soil Conservation
Service: Mr. Vernon Reddish, Coun
ty Agent, and Mr. McEwen, FHA
Supervisor. The representative of
each agency stated their willing
ness to help farmers with various
farm problems.

Butler, Georgia
Glenn W. Burton, principal gene
ticist, Coastal Plains Experiment
Station, Tifton, in a recent report
of findings and recommendations
of the Experiment Station at Tif
ton and the Florida Extension
Service made the following state
ment:
“It is generally recognized that
cold is the No. 1 problem so far as
successfully growing lupine in the
southeast is concerned. It can safe
ly be assumed that there will be
little or no damage to lupine when
winter temperatures are 20 degrees
or above. In years when tempera
tures range between 15 and 19,
some cold damage can be expected.
In years when temperatures are be
tween 11 and 14, cold damage will
be moderate to severe, and in win
ters when temperatures reach 10
or below, severe cold damage and
death will be almost certain.”
A number of factors, particularly
the hardening that a plant under
goes before a severe freeze, influ
ences temperature response to the
extent that the suggested tempera
tures may not always hold. It
should be pointed out that it is en
tirely possible that for as many as
three cold years to be grouped to
gether, although there is no deii-
hite pattern in the weather recoids
<° suggest that his happens more
frequently than other temperatures
sequences. The probabilities are,
based on a ten year study of
weather periods that lupine may be
grown safely five years out of 10
with little or no damage, three
years with some damage, two years
with moderate to severe damage
and one year with certain damage
and loss of crop. Experiments have
indicated there are other factors
which effect the successful growth
of lupine including the lupine fly
ncmeatodes, and foot-rot disease.
The following are general cultural
recommendations that it is believed
will help to increase success farm
ers Will experience growing this
crop:
1. Lupine planted after corn,
cotton, or small grain will be
much more apt to succeed than lu
pine planted after peanuts or vege
table crops.
2. Turn under corn and cotton
stubble and other litter three or
four weeks before planting in or
der to reduce foot-rot damage in
unfavorable years and insure bet-
iter stands.
3. Fertilize with approximately
400 pounds of 2-13-12 or 0-12-12
per acre if the preceding crop has
not been well fertilized. An appli
cation of calcium in the form of
basic slag or lime may improve the
growth of lupine on soils where
this. glement is deficient.
4. Use good clean disease-free
seed of high germination. Seed
treatment t 0 control disease is not
recommended. Plant 100 pounds of
85 percent germination seed of blue
lupine per acre for maximum
yields of cover crops. Forty pounds
( of blue lupine seed per acre in 14
inch rows is satisfactory for seed
production. Sixty pounds of good
quality yellow lupine seed will
give satisfactory stands for cover
crop production,
5. Plant in October in north
Florida and South Georgia. Late
September plantings should be
satPfactor near the fall line.
Earlier plantings result in poor
stands due to foot-rot diseases.Late
plantings make Jess growth and
j may be killed by frost when in
j the seeding stage.
, 6. Inoculate thoroughly using a
I syrup to moisten the seed and ap-
| plying doub e the recommended
■ rate of inoculation. Inoculate one
I bag of seed at a time and nlant
j immediately in moist soil. Delayed
planting o r planting in drv soil
; generally kills the inoeulant.
J 7. Plant seed one inch deep to
; reduce foot-rot losses anrl p : ve
J maximum stands. Stand losses due
i to foot-rot disease during unlavor-
abie seasons have been three times
1 greater when seeds were planted
j two inches deep than when they
jwere planted one inch deep,
t 8- Delay turning lupine as long
as possible preferably until lupines
are in full flower. Lupine plants
turned in late March when in full
flower contain three times as much
N as lupine plants turned a
month earlier. The main benefit
from a lupine cover crop is the N
produced. In order to avoid bud
worm damage, turn lupine three
(weeks ahead of the planting date
for following crop.
! Lupine is generally recognized as
one of the best winter cover crops
and is an excellent producer of
nitrogen and humus for the soil. It
is felt that when the above 8
recommendations are carried out,
lupine can be grown successfully
,and wiii contribute much to the
jgeenral fertility of our soils.
