Newspaper Page Text8 Free Press-News & Farmer, Thurs., Dec. 14, 1967 yr - __" E^^yv^lKi^ j-^WkJ?^ MwZ / WW^- -•rB Soil Conservation Activities By TOM COLE DECEMBER - 1967 finds many farmers and land owners trying to apply and maintain soil and water con servation practices on their lands as planned in coopera tion with the Upper Oc mulgee River District. Perry D. Walker, Jr., smooths and removes ob stacles from five acres on his farm located on the Walt Stephens Road. This field is adjoining a stream and is planned for tall fescue and clover pasture. J. William Turnipseed has removed obstacles, bladed down bench type terraces and smoothed a three acre field prior to planting to fescue-clover pasture. Two acres of this area are lo cated on bottom land with a water table nearer the sur face than upland. Deep rooted fescue and perennial white clover will continue to make good growth during hot, dry summer months on bottom land as compared to upland. Noticed recently a field on the farm of W. T. and Wil liam W. Camp that is planted to small grain that is growing with a good stand near Mundy’s Mill on Fayetteville Highway (Ga.- 54). There was an old road bed that divided this field, which was abandoned when Mundy’s Mill Road was straightened. Mr. Camp shaped the backslopes along this road seeding it to fes- isp c I wb < Ml > ^^Rv * M nT fi n । MB * wi® ', W B * • ^SB y • * vBB *BB s! ®®’B Ik ; ^W'- Bk ’ ^B B^ $ ■ '' 1 Br >|p A <W ~ Nobody, but nobody, has a range that thinks. But thinking women are switching to electric cooking. With today’s amazing technology, you’d think there’d be a range that does everything. Courage! An electric range comes very close. However, you still must plan the meals and do the bossing. Now, bossing here simply means setting the controls on your electric range. Then the range takes over. It perks your coffee before you get up. Buzzes you when the tempting roast is done. With an automatic time clock, your electric oven cooks meals while you’re out of the kitchen, out of the house. Some surface units stir sauces and gravies, automatically. In many models, ovens clean themselves. And you know' flameless electric ranges cook the cleanest, quickest, coolest way possible. Think on all those advantages. And you’ll cook on a modern electric range. GEORGIA POWER COMPANY cue clover and sericia les pedeza in 1965. Mulch was applied on the steep areas and places where all topsoil removed. He mowed this area recenty leaving a good green stand of fescue-clover which will stay green all winter. Soil loss to erosion has been reduced to a small percentage. R. O. White reports he got a “Good Kill” from weeding by chemicals of cull bushes and undesirable hardwoods in a five-acre tract of his farm located on Jodeco Road near Jonesboro. This was done last summer by the Georgia Forestry Commis sion with a tractor and pump built for this purpose. After spraying, Mr. White deadened larger trees that were retarding growth of young pines by knotching and applying chemicals.
