Shelby—Panola Soil
Conservation News
Hung* Seen And Heard:
Vance Bell recently harvest-
ed 899 bales of oat hay off 20
acres of land. This land was
fertilized last fall
pounds of 3-12-12
same price index, this would
'be $20.50 per acre return for
labor and capital invested.
Comparing the results of the
two farmers and their oat
crops harvested, the fertilizer
about $9.50
uuu was worth about $9.50 per
with 4001 acre this year.
____ and top-! W. I. Davis, Jr. is putting up
dressed with 100 pounds am- ’ about 35 acres of vetch and
uranium nitrate per acre this oats for silage this spring. Har-
spring. Vance figures that he
spent approximately $15.00
per acre for seed and fertilizer.
Since the yield per acre was
45 bales, estimated to be worth
one dollar per bale or $45.00
per acre, that would be $30.00
per acre for labor and capital
invested.
A nearby tract of oats (on
another farm) on land of simi-
lar quality but with no ferti-
lizer produced 245 bales of
hay on 12 acres, an average of
vest is now underway on the
farm. Mr. Davis considers this
an excellent way of storing
surplus forage for use when
needed at a later season. SCS
technicians are compiling in-
formation on' pounds of feed
per acre (based on both green
weight and air dry weight) on
some of this forage. Also, sim-
ilar tests will be made on oth-
er check plots and a laboratory
analysis made to determine nu-
trient values of these samples.
announced later when com-
plete information is available.
Alvis Boles reports a good
stand of sericea lespedesa
which he planted this spring
on a field of crimson clover
and oats. The clover was a thin
stand and not very much top
growth; also, the oats were
grazed closely before over-
seeding the sericea. He hopes
to combine the light oat crop
and have enough crimson clov-
er seed mature to provide a
volunteer stand next fall. This
method would leave all the
crop residue on the land to
help provide cover and organic
matter, both of which are vital
to any successful framing pro-
gram. With any luek at all
this summer in the way of
moisture, Alvis thinks that he
will have made a good invest-
ment in his sericea planting
and will have taken a long step

'or Summer Term
At Lamar College
Beaumont, Tex.—Miss Char-
lesene Hudson of Timpson is
one of the record 845 students

summer term at Lamar State
College of Technology at Beau-
mont.
Daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Joe Hudson, she is completing
her freshman year as an in-
strumental music major at La-
mar Tech.
Enrollment is up 15 per cent
and at an all-time summer high
for three-year-old Lamar Tech.
Miss Hudson, who is attend-
ing Lamar Tech on a band
scholarship, recently won the
John Betar Scholarship Award
as the outstanding student in
an education class at Lamar
Tceh.
Moisture conditions over the
state continue to improve and
the prospects for a bumper
grain sorghum crop are very
promising. Producers expect-
ing to benefit from support
prices at harvestime are re-
minded that storage will likely
be the big problem. It is not
too early to arrange for stor-
age in commercial elevators or
for constructing the needed
storage on the farm.

Alvis has been a cooperator
with the Shelby-Panola Soil
Conservation District for sev-
eral years and has seen the re-
sults of his following the rec-
ommendations of Soil Conser-
vation Service technicians. A
smaller plot of ground by his
house has been growing crim-
son clover and bermuda grass
fir three years and now pro-
vides excellent forage for his
cows and adequate cover on
the land.
There are many acres of
land in Shelby County, as well
as elsewhere, that could easily
produce from two to four times
the present amount. This
change will not come about of
its own aceord—not while man
is tampering with nature’s me-
thods of conservation. And na-
ture unaided sometimes re-
quires centuries—not just a
matter of years—to restore the
damage wrought by man. Also
the best efforts of man and na-
ture combined cannot undo
overnight the ravages of ero-
sion and land misuse that have
taken place over a long period
of time. A whole series of
chemical and biological
changes must take place;
sort of re-conditioning and re-
adjustment of the forces of na-
ture must he brought about be-
fore natural law and order is
restored to the soil. Then, and
only then, will full production
be attained and maximum
benefits be realized from the
efforts spent on soil and water
conservation.
