Maps Available by The Soil
Conservation Service
On County.
Several farmers have called by j
our office and secured one of the
maps made , \ailable by the Soil
Conserve., n Service These maps
do not show property lines but
they do shew woods pastures
streams and fields as well as roads
and houses. Their principal value
is the indication of soil types,
slope and erosion. This intormation
is valuable in farm planning and
erosion control programs. We have
one of every farm in the county
that is in the Loyd Shoals drain
age area. This leaves tut a part
of the county following the water
divide from Social Circle to New
bor. so that all land west of the
ndge down through Brick Store
would not be on the maps. If you
would like to know the slope of
the land in your fields, per cent
erosion and soil type we will be
glad to furnish you with one of

Jersey breeders are advised to
be sure to see that they are in pos
ition to continue to register their
bull calves. After January 1st, 1942
a bull calf must be sired by e Su

sufficient Register of Merit test to
make him eligible. This means :
that calves born after January 1st
must have such qualifications, so
1 cows bred this summer may not
