, SANGER NEEDS A
COTTON GIN
This is the third season Sanger
las been without .a gin to help
'take eflfe of staple raised in thb»
area.
)R.eports from cotton growers
arc that all gists anywhere clo$e to
Sanger are behind from 50 to 150
tales and are running around the
clock.
We can’t figure why the last of
three gins was moved away and.
mostly sold for junk, and we
wouldn’t say as much cotton is
raised here as ever, but we ven-
ture there is sufficient harvested
in the area to make a good mod-
ern gin pay.

Many Denton county farmers
can boost yields of grain serghum
and cotton by 4 following a w°li
f lanned conservation system of
farming County Agent A! Petty
said this week. As an e? ample, he
cited results by Ralph W Baird,
(above), project supervisor of the
Blacklands Experimeptal Watt r-
shed at Riesel.
Over the past 10 years. Baird
averaged 170 pounds of iint cot-
ton per acre where no conservation
measures were used. During the
same period which included
oral drought years.
216 pounds of lint per acre with
conservation system, while yi.-
of sorghum grain increased! 1,1^
pounds per acre
Baird’s conservation system is
relatively simple and
easily adapted by most local far-
mers, Petty said. His first step
was to convert land utisuited for
cultivation to permanent pasture.
Then he terraced sloping crop-
land and started a 3-year rotation.
His favorite rotation is cotton true
first,year, grain sorghum the sec-
ond and a combination of oats and.,
madrid clover the third year.
"A complete soil and water con-
servation district is a good place
to,start, it you want to increase
your fields,” Pctfy suggested.
“You can't rtay in business if you
don’t' keep your soil at home.
