Crouch) The month of November marks the beginning of the 1944 Food Fights for Freedom program. The slogan for this program is “Pro duce and Conserve, Share and Play Square.” In the program as well as in the slogan, production comes first. Before we can con serve or share we must first pro duce. Numerous examples through out the country indicate that such practices as terraces, con tour farming, strip cropping, the establishment of crop rotations, and the development of pasture land, 'Will contribute greatly to the meeting of production goals. Of equal importance is the utilization and management of idle or abandoned land. Nearly every farm in the county has some idle land on it. Often th’«? land has fairly good soil and i could be returned to cultivation. I provided soil conservation prac tices are established. 1 Land not suited for cultiva tion will often grow grass, or hay crops, such as kudzn or sericea, two crops vitally needed in the production of dairy and livestock products. ■ • -tv.i-,.v i km When you need rbofing, sid ing, Rock Wool Ihsulationor home modernization, call us for the best in materials, workmanship and terms.
