Soil Conservation Activities
BY T. W. COLE
— Soil Conservationist —
Ralph and Harold Adamson,
owners and operators of Adam- ;
son Brothers’ Dairy Farm located
in Mount Zion Church Commu
nity near Morrow, report a good
harvest of Kudzu, hay this fall.
I
In carrying out the planned
practices for their farm in co
operation with the Upper
Ocmulgee River District Super- ,
visors they established four acres
of eroded land to kudzu in 1941.
This area being in a natural de
pression was carrying the volume

HAVE YOUR FACE PAINTED
AND BE A REAL INDIAN at the
East Clayton School Carnival on
October 29th.
Boy oh boy—there’s going to
be fun for all.
Spook house, fish pond,
witches’ brew, pop corn, peanuts,
candy a freak show, movies and
everything that makes a carnival
lots of fun.
There will even be a headless
man with a fat lady!!
The Talent Show will start at

the show.
Another attraction will be a

slope including drainage from a
public road. *
For the past 12 years this area
of kudzu has been grazed and
harvested for hay. Several times
oats and crimson clover have
been planted on the kudzu area
producing winter and early
spring grazing to supplement the
other permanent pastures and
grazing areas.
One fall the cured kudzu hay
was run through a hammer min
and reduced to a shredded meal
and reserved for feed for the
dairy herd during the cold part
of winter. When asked why he
went to the extra cost of labor
and equipment to process the
kudzu he replied, “There will be
less waste and the kudzu meal
will be a larger saving in feed
cost during the winter than at
present as hay.”
From three acres of this area
Mr. Adamson says 400 bales of
kudzu together with other na
tive grass averaging 40 pounds of
cured hay were harvested this
fall. This is an average of over
two and one-half tons of good
quality hay per acre from this
once badly eroded area.
Kudzu being equal to alfalfa
in feeding value would mean
with alfalfa hay selling at S4O
per ton the two, and one-half
tons of kudzu hay average per
acre would be a gross return of
SIOO from each of the three
acres from one cutting of hay.
