DOLORESE Soil Conservation Activities By TOM COLE Soil Conservationist APRIL SHOWERS-BRING MAY FLOWERS, is a saying most people have heard through the ages. The evi , dence is all around us. Just look at the green grass making rapid growth, buds and leaves on the trees. Riding along the county roads, looking at acres of pasture with cattle having ample grazing without walk ing all day to find part of their needs, causes all inter ested people to feel good. Soil and Water Conserva tion Farmers and Landown ers feel better at this season. 14VHY?—Longer days with i sunshine they can get more i of the planned soil and wa ter conservation practices applied on the land, as planned with the Upper Oc mulgee River District.

Upland areas in this pasture are growing fescue and clover, providing good grazing for his cattle. Upon close obser vation there is no evidence of soil losses to erosion. W. E. Sammons reports having cut 15 acres of les pedeza sericea in one field of his farm near Rex. last Fall. Using a bush-hog. chopped the stems into | small pieces whereby they ' will decompose faster. He racked some of these cutting on a borrow and fill area nearby where he com pleted a farm pond. Now seed from the sericea is pro ducing a good stand, with mulch to assist in holding moisture.

Shelnutt is president In late fall 1966, the club took on the task of beauti fying downtown Jonesboro. : Club members invited merchants to a meeting to 1 explain what they wanted to do. They gave each mer chant an estimate as to what it would cost to paint I his store front. The women said they would do the work if each merchant would fi nance the cost for his store. The project has been suc cessful and is still going. What was a club project has become a community one. "An outgrowth of our work has been the Jonesboro Civic Improvement Commit i tee," Mrs. Roberts said. । Merchants and civic organi | zations were represented at the first meeting. This com mittee will work along the same lines as the club. We are working toward making Jonesboro a tourist attrac tion. “We are trying to develop Jonesboro from the histori cal standpoint. We have gotten a court room in the old court house and we are going to make a museum . along the Gone With the I Wind Unes.
