ing September 13 - 30 Soil |
Conservation Week in Georgia j
and urging “all citizens to sin-
cere jy consider the true vatue
of the soil.”
rrn The __ proclamation ____,____,__, includes 1
the following: I
“One of the basic elements of *
security and prosperity is the
production and consumption of *
**>d, clothing, forest products, j
and other agricultural commo- j
di * ,ies > and ever y citizen as a^
dally consumer of food, cloth-
in g, forest products and other.
agricultural commodities has a
very vital stake in the conser--
vation of our basic heritage,
the soil, as the only source of
these products
This can be accomplished |
only through cooperation of all i
of us, producers using best
known practices for efficient
production, processors practic-
ing most efficient methods of
processing, transportation and |
morketing, and consumers be- i
ing efficient in selection and
utilization of the finshed pro-
duct ’
that approved practices
pay off.
Mr. Moore has learned a 1
great deal about farming and [
about soil conservation since |
he moved to his outstanding
,
farm in 1916. And he is always j
willing to learn more.
He is growing only two acres
of corn this year, but he knows
better than to plow it with a
double shovel and he realized
the benefit of fertilizer. More
than that, he knows the value
of soil conservation.
His is a wonderful example
of what a farmer can do with
poor soil.
