Clarence Thornton established
a grassed waterway in a 28-acre
cropland field of his farm this
month in carrying out a planned
soil and water conservation
practice in cooperation with the
Upper Ocmulgee River District
Supervisors.
The waterway is located in a
natural depression of the field.
Prior to seeding to tall fescue
the area 944 feet in length was
shaped to the proper width and
depth in center to carry surplus
runoff water with a crawler
tractor and pan. Excess soil was
spread in low places of the field
and on severely eroded areas,
lime and fertilizer applied and
harrowed into the top three to
four inches of soil, with seed
broadcast and presses into the
soil.
After a complete sod is estab
lished plans are to survey and
construct broadbase terraces
using the grassed waterway as’

tion of officers. They are as
follows: President, Brenda
Starr; vice presdent, Mike Wil- ;
son; secretary-treasurer, Rose- '
mary Calhoun, and reporter,
Bob McLendon. ।
After the election of officers,
Mr. Parker gave a demonstra
tion on fire ants and how to
get rid of them. He explained
that an ant was an insect. All
insects have three bodys regions
and three pairs of legs. You can l
identify a fire ant by its rusty
color, large mound, and three
sizes of ants in each mound,
fire ants are very dangerous
because of their painful bite.
If you have these fire ants
call your County Agent’s Office.
Three good products for killing
these ants are chlordane, diel
drin, and mirex. These products
are not harmful but always be.
sure to follow directions on back I

like to say, “Anyone interested
