Mr. Shaw is interested in the establishment of permanent Win ter and summer grazing crops on hte land that is best suited for cattle farming. Crops included in his pasture program will be fes cue and ladino clover, sericea les- pedeza, kudzu, coastal bermuda/ annual grazing crops and native bermuda. Mr. Shaw plans to destroy most of the 70 acres o^old peach trees on the farm and to use this land for rotated crops of cotton, com, small grain and hay crops. This land is more level, less eroded and is better suited for cultivated crops. Some of the conservation practicse recommended fbr this land are terracse, contour culti vation, water managmeent areas, cover crops, stubble mulching and lespedeza bi-color. The Soil Conservation Service is helping this farmer to work out and ap ply his plan. t # • G. P. Copelancl, of the Hopewell community, has commenced th .* construction of a stock watering pond on his farm. Mr. Copeland has applied for cost sharing as- istance through the local Agricul tural nad Conservation office at the rate of»10c per cubic yard of earth used in the dam. In order for a farmer to be eligible for this assistance there must be a need for the pond for water to facilitate the better man agement of grazing. Another re quirement is that a dependable supply of water is not available or that the supply of water is of such distance or location that it is impracticable to utilize for water ing stock. All farmers of the (Jis- trict who can qualify are eligible for this type of assistance through ASC cost sharing and technical' help from the Soil Conservation Service. , Baptist church will present an Easter cantata, “Peter and the Resurrection”, on Sunday eve ning, March 25, at 7:30.
