THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY AUGUST 20, 1959 = m SOIL * OUR STRENGTH = D. E. Morrison, SCD Supervisor By: Fred Braekin SCS Conservationist 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 the use of land to its ■of being used. —Fred Regular meals prepared loving care.

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 ! will be on the freshman team.

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.
