come once averaged le.-s th;
five dollars a week, has convei
I ed a rundown," hilly, eroded far
into a $(3,000 a year farming e
terprise, says a ^?p?rt rcceiv
| last week by the U. S. Depar
ment of Agriculture from Sta
I Leader P. II. Stone Of the Geo
,
| gia Extension Service.
The farmer i>> 61-year o
; Henry Jh^oy of Rent/., who h
quadrupled the corn and cott>
i yields on his 184-acrc farm 1
following practices rec?mrnen
! ed by Soil Conservation Servh
| technicians assigned to the Cei
I tral Georgia Soil Conserve tit
: District.
"WJnen they started shown
, me how to build terraces ar
plant cover crops and legumes
says Mr. Josey, "I was gettir
evnlv a quarter of a bah of c<>
ton and just about 12 bushels <
corn to the acre on hvm of m
-land."
Since that time, he has bui
a 24,000 feet of terraces, plantc
blue lupine as a green manui
crop, shifted the steep -H>p.
from corn and cotton to pastun
of kudzu, letpcdcza, fe>cue, an
dalis grass, and started rai.-ir
a' herd of cattle. Now he has 1
head of Hereford* and 2G hogs
His corn yield has shot up^t
GO bushels per acre, and wher
lie u-cd to get only a quart, i .
a bale of gotten to. the acre, h
now gets from one to two bales.
With, increased yields hav
come lower average per uni
costs and higher income for him
self and the two sharecroppc
families on his place. Morovei
his farm ha- become a~Mnd o
model demonstration in. effcetiv
soil and wateV conservation." T\v<
yearrf ago, he was selected as thi
N'?, 1 Negio cunsci valioii faiiYi
