Conservation Almost everyone has traveled over the county and noticed several fields on farms that look like water had been running down through the middle caus¬ ing little ditches and finally large ditches—on ether fields where the top soil looks rather thin or evei^ washed away. The soil is what we want to rebuild and conserve—-every acre on a farm should be in a productive state Only 15 percent cf the popu- er 85 * percent, we think every- one will agree that every acre of ^ farmland must be productive expropriating funds to share the cost with farmers for carry- ing needed soil conserving prac- t Every MISSION at Trenton, Masonic Sunday SERVICES at Lodge, Ga. 3 P.

Phone 359 These are the golden days —warm sunshine, freshen¬ ing breezes, wonderfully blue skies with little whipped-creani clouds. These are days for the family to enjoy. And look at Mother! She’s sharing in the fun. There was a time when mothers didn’t have much time for play. There was too much housework. But now electricity has moved in to help, in dozens of different wars. It makes hard jobs easy — the washing, ironing, cooking, cleaning, sewing. For pen¬ nies a day, electricity adds years — and happiness — to Mother’s life. It does so much yet costs so little. Don’t you think your electric service is the biggest bargain in your family budget?

In previ- ous yeais, we had a lot of an- n u a 1 or recurring practices, such as fertilizing^pastures and {seeding annual cover crops, but I the trend now is toward per- example, to get program aid to seed » fescue e . ........ and v* -J ladino Iftdinn clever o muor a farmer is required to properly :n . • s i ve '. but on the practices up proved by the County Commit- tee it Is about a 50 - 50 proposi- ticn The cost-share paid by the government Is approximate- ly 50 percent of the total cost of carrying out the practice. Sevcral soil conserving prac¬ tices , are in the county hand¬ book. One cr more of the prac- ices are needed and suitable for every farm in the county. They are divided into four general classifications: (1> p r a c tices primarily for establishment of permanent protective cover, <2) practices primarily for improve¬ ment and protection of estab¬ lished vegetative cover, < 3 1 prac¬ tices primarily for establishing temporary protective vegetative cover. These are a lot of ten dollar words, but'it boils down to establishing a cover of perennial grasses and legumes for the first time, over-seeding established cover with adapted grasses and legumes, and of course, applying needed fertilizer and lime. Then there Is the building of terraces also dams for livestock and oth¬ ers—the last one is establishing winter cover crops. This program is open to all farmers in the county. Back in December, all farmers were in¬ vited to come to the county of¬ fice to make application for cost-sharing for the practices most needed on the farm.

The way things are stacking up n 0 w, it appears that the county committee will quests. j ; The M n Q time has passed for some of these practices but there are 31. j A farmer has plenty of time 'to establish a cover of fescue .and ladino clover, or any of the several eligible legumes and grass for fall seeding. There is still plenty cf time to do ter- racing, drainage, constructing dams and several others. These are all needed by farmers but j establishing a permanent cover on land that is subject to eros- j ion is the most needed, and second, giving these half run down pasture sods a treatment of lime, fertilizer and seed. The program in general was developed by local people. Rep¬ resentatives of all the agricul¬ tural agencies were called to- gather with the county commit¬ tee fer the purpose of selecting and writing specifications for practices best suited for the county. All farmers are invited to participate in the various pro¬ grams. If help is needed on how to do these pratices, we have the county agent, the SCS tech¬ nician and several others who are most willing.
