The percentage of land in farms by counties under such plans as of De cember 31, 1951, was as follows: Spartanburg 41; Greenville 36; Cherokee 46; Union 47; and Lau rens 66. As a result of these conserva tion plans to help farmers fit their farming to the land thousands of acres of permanent pastures grasses and legumes have been planted. When land is used acording to its capabilities in steep ejoded areas the rseult is grass. Then to get productive use from grass—cows are needed^ Grass and legumes for proper laftd usd plus cows to eat the feed produced equals soil and water conservation.
