This land was not profitable to plant t<> other crops and was converted u. a perennial in the spring of 1939. A crop of this type has a three fold benefit; first to stop worn- out and eroded land from wash ing; second, it is a good hay crop as it may be cut about twice n, year; third, as a seed crop. Good clean seed are now selling at a premium price. . Mr. L. C. Talbert is constructing terraces on his farm. A natural- draw protected by kudzu is acting as an outlet to carry water from one of the fields that he is now terracing.
