Soil Conservation
Mr. W. -'Ljt . White harvested 583
pounds, of Sericea lespedeza seed
from one acre of land. 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. Terracing is a neces
sary practice to conserve soil I.
would be wise to plan a terracing
system on your farm.

tractively shaped and will be a
smart background for a neck-
ace or a pair of clips.
