saved by using a wide board fitted

HOME JOURNAL, Perry Ga., THURSDAY, May 6, 1948
M. Georgia Farm
Co B© Transformed
into Model Place
May 12 will mean a turning point
n farming for Marion H. Carlyle
•nd Ernest C. Blakely who together
perate a small hill land farm near
Vinder. Their 168 acre farm was re
ently chosen for a master conserva
bn demonstration by Supervisors
;f the Oconee River Soil Conser
■ation District, business men and
•ivic leaders cf Winder, and local
igricultural workers.
The event will be to rebuild a
arm on a big scale —the most im
pressive and spectacular demon
stration of its kind ever held in the
Southeast. Within a singl* day, from
sunrise to sunset, the farm will be
completely torn apart and rebuilt
again.
Although the farm at present is
being operated as a dairy unit, for
many years it has been subjected
to row crop farming—corn, cotton,
and other clean tilled crops—that
today the land is in a very low state
of productivity.
Dozens of soil rnd water conser
vation practices will be demonstrat
ed with nearly one hundred differ
n* typos of farm machines and im
plements. Scores of bulldozers and
other dirt moving machines will
be used to fill gullies, smooth rough
land, construct dams for farm ponds
and for terracing more than 50 acres
of open cropland.
RAISE THE VALUE
Mr. Carlisle and his nephew, Mr.
Blakely, can hardly believe what
has happened to them. It is esti
mated the demonstration will add
$20,000 in value to the property.
More than 30,000 spectators from
Georgia and adjoining states are ex
pected to be present that day. Su
pervisors of the Oconee River Soil
| Conservation District, the Winder
I Chamber of Commerce, local civic
clubs, officials of the Soil Conser
j
vation Service, and other agricul
tural workers are busy planning for
the land rebuilding show.
I The undertaking will be spon
| sored jointly by the Atlanta Jour
nal, Supervisors of the Oconee River
Soil Conservation District and civic
clubs of Winder.
Equipment for doing the work
will be supplied by farm machinery
branch houses of Atlanta and sev
eral dealers throughout North Geor
gia. Manpower will be furnished by
Veterans’ organizations, agriculture
classes, and volunteer neighboring
farmers. The demonstration will
give an excellent opportunity for
showing what can be done with the
many types of farm machines adapt- I
oble to the hill land sections of the
Piedmont.
The Carlisle-Blakely farm was se
lected for the most part because of
the many land reclamation prob
lems represented. It was chosen
from many farms visited by a com- !
mittee of Oconee River District Su
pervisors, Chamber of Commerce
officials, civic dubs of Winder and
agricultural workers. The farm re
ceiving the mst votes was the win
ner.
TO CLEAR LAND
Already the new conservation
farm plan has been made and ap
proved. More than 40 acres of steep,
tough and badly eroded slopes will
be cleared, smoothed, fertilized and
seeded to permanent pasture grass
es. A sizable acreage of bottom land
will be cleared and treated for pas
ture. Nearly 20 acres of land will be
cleared, treated and set aside for
temporary grazing. The farm will
be completely fenced and cross
fenced. A new two mile road mean
dering over the farm on the coun
tour will add to convenience of fu-
Mi-e visitors and the farmer him
self.
Most s:?nificant in the new plan
will be the conservation of more
than three-fcurths of formerly 5o
acres of open row cropland t 0 al
falfa, kudzu, grain with lespedeza
and other hay crops. Both Mr. Car
lisle and Mr. Blakely believe with
this new system of farming they can
produce practically all feed needed
for a 30 cow dairy herd and replace
ments. As it is today”, says Mr.
Carlisle, “we are buying practically
all the feed we use except for some
hay and a little silage.” The new
plan calls for less than 20 acres of
row crops each year, divided be
tween corn and cotton.
Except for alfalfa and kudzu all
the crops and pastures will be
planted that day. More than 50 tons
of complete fertilizer, 80 tons of
limestone, and 10 tons of basic
slag will be spread on the land.
Under no circumstances should
turkev poults be all-wed the use
of vards that have be n n occupied
by chickens because of the danger i
of disease. j
