The Big County Terracing Out
fit has been busy when the
ground was dry enough to plow,
but that doesn’t mean that we
have done much yet. The best
run was on the Kennedy place,
when we built about 5000 feet in
one afternoon.

our farmers has begun to put out-
Some of the men planting sericea
report good stands. Folks I can’t
help believing that these two
crops will be very popular in the
near future.
Soybeans, if innoculated, will
?ive better yields. This innocula-
cion can be purchased from most
seed houses, or from Paul Brown

If ycu intend getting molasses
this year, mail your order at an
early date to the County Agentfs
office. Price same as last year.
The Red Cross Drive was com
pleted some time ago. Our quota
was over subscribed as you hav*
heard. Quota asked $3,200—col
lected $3,264.00. I wish to thank
every worker and every one who
contributed. Your chairman was
mighty worried at times, but was
very much delighted when the
quota was reached.
