An exceptional soil-saving job
by Harold Godwin, 18, son of Mr.
and Mrs. L. H. Godwin, of Cow
ard, brought him the distinction
of being named State winner in
South Carolina in the 4-H Soil

In mapping out a plan for the

plowed so as to level it, fertilized
well and planted in rotation. The
permanent pasture was started in
1947 with three types of plants
on well-lived soil. It has passed
through various stages of drain
age, fertilization and replanting,
has been mowed and lightly
grazed. The bottom fields have
been drained and planted and a
kfish pond is to be constructed. In
spite of the drought this year the
crops have stood up well.
In recognition, the Firestone
organization presented Harold

It the tree is not to be set up for
several days, it should be kept
