COVER CROPS INCREASE
YIELDS
"Why, that field wouldn’t
grow good weeds!” is about the
way John Jones, New Salem,
spoke of his corn patch three
years ago. He goes on to explain
that for two winters he grew
vetch followed by summer
native grass. All this was turned
under and corn was planted
this spring, using a normal
amount of fertilizer. He didn’t
get around to side dressing with
any extra nitrogen—it’s still in
the barn—but next time you
pass John’s house notice the
beautful dark color of that corn.
He is bound to have a good
'.harvest.
Since we have so much land
that is not planted every year
anyhow, I wonder if others
could not use such a program
to good advantage? Say with
three fields, have one in corn
and two in cover crops every
year.
Fish Orders
I am now getting in orders for
stocking ponds. Perhaps there
are some who have built ponds
this year I do not know about.
If you want me to get fish for
you, please let me hear from
you as soon as possible.
Pine Seedling Orders
While on the subject of orders,
the county forester has said
that orders for seedlings are
coming in very slowly. F. N.
Belk is the only person who has
discussed an order with me,
if you expect to plant pines
winter your order should be
within the next month
closing date is October
iThe prices are the same as
year, $4.25 per thousand
ed to Trenton.
Conservation Plans
When C. D. Forester
the work he plans for his
River farm he can continue
use it for two or three
years, if he lives that long,
have as good or better land
he has today. He plans to
all land too wet for grass
a large pond, all the best
into pastures, and the class
and seven land in trees.
in a few words, in the
tion District Program—to

Forestry Notes
MORE TREE
PLANTING NEEDED
During the past winter, more
forest trees were planted in
Dade County than ever before.
Approximately 140,000 seedlings
were planted by about 50
dividuals. This increase in plant
ing has certainly been criticized
by some who do not know the
whole story.
The Dade County Farm and
Home Program, developed by
local farmers and technical
workers, revealed that 14,600
acres need planting. Land need¬
ing planting is that which is idle
or producing only broom sedge,
persimmon sprouts or other
worthless plants. It is very un¬
likely that these areas will be
reforested naturally, so tree
planting is the best answer to
putting this land into a produc¬
tive state.
If planting continues at its
present rate, with all trees plant
ea on these idle acres, it would
take ten years to complete
job. Of course, all trees would
not be planted just on these idle
acres, therefore it will take
more years to complete the
or the rate of planting must be
increased.
Idle land gives the landowner
no income, yet taxes still must
be paid each year. If you have
idle or unproductive land, plan
now to have it planted to trees.
Place your seedling order with
Dade County Ranger Dan Hall.
After a few years, your trees
will not only help pay the taxes
but will give you a profit too !

The 1959 COTTON PUR¬
CHASE will be in effect this
year instead of a Government
Lean Program. This means that
you will now sell the cotton you
produce outright to the govern¬
ment at a price based on the
grade and staple length, rather
than securing a loan on the
cotton you produce this year
and holding title to that cottton
until next June 30th, as .you
have been doing.
To sell the cotton under the
purchase Program you must
have it graded by the U .S. D. A.
Samples may be sent from the
gin to get this grade and staple.
This will be without cost to you
if sent in by a bonded ginner.
You are urged to have your
cotton graded and to consider
the price you may get from the
Purchase Program before you
sell your cotton. There is a pos¬
sibility that the price in the
open market could be as much
as $15 to $20 per bale less than
what you can get under the
Purchase Program.
Be sure to avail yourself of
the most profitable means of
selling your cotton.
We invite your inspection and
suggestions. Avakian’s
We have invested a* sizeable
sum of money to give you a
clean, comfortable and pleasant
n’ace to eat. Avakian’s.
