SOIL NEWS
Hy J. E. PAYNE, Soil
Conservation Service
During the month of February
most farmers complete their plans
for crops they will plant on different
fields, which pastures they will fer
tilize and improve, along with other
farming needs and the soil and water
conservation practices they will carry
out during the year.
This year it has been just a little
harder for the average farmer co
operating with the Towaliga Soil
Conservation District to decide just
what plans to make for the year.
Every year there seems to be more
problems and factors that enter into
the farming picture.
Regardless of these changing con
ditions farmers in Butts County seem
to be getting off to a good start this
year. Tree planting for instance is
off to a big boost with some 300
acres of crop land being planted to
pine trees by farmers which is the
largest acreage planted since the be
ginning of operation of the Towaliga
Soil Conservation District in the

county. This large jump in the num
ber of acres being planted to pine
trees is due to the interest the farm
ers in the county have in the Con
servation Reserve part of the Soil
Bank.
There are three types of conserva
tion practices that a farmer may par
ticipate in under the conservation
reserve. These are: land cover which
includes permanent cover of grasses
and legumes or cover of trees or
shrubs; water conservation which in
cludes construction of dams for
storage of water for livestock or
irrigation; wildlife conservation
which includes cover for wildlife and
building of ponds for fish.
Participation in the Conservation
Reserve part of the Soil Bank by
farmers is voluntary. It is a long
range program. Farmers desiring to
place land in the conservation re
serve should decide what land they
would like to put in arid contact the
local ASC office about signing a
contract soon as possible. The Soil
Conservation Service has certain re
sponsibilities in administering the
program and the local SCS office will
assist anyone in regard to the pro
gram upon request.
