cording to Cox and Quinn, to im-
press Rotary principles on Frank

ever, the biggest prizes went to
[the four who came from Gilmer,
J they even took $5 in cash,

Farmers who are interested in
building ternaces the cheapest
way will be well paid for their J
time by attending the terracing
machinery demonstration on the
William Copeland farm, on the
old Paris road, Thursday after-
noon, September 4th, according
to Raymond Brown chairman of
the Board of Supervisors of the
Sulphur-Cypress Soil Conserva-
tion District. In this demonstra-
tion, several types of machinery,
developed to build terraces, will
be busy showing the value of
the particular machine for get-
ting the job done at the least
co-t. Most of the equipment will
be operated by regular farm
tractors, said Mr. Brown.
This demonstration was ar-1
ranged to assist in soil erosion
problems and particularly that
farmers could begin developing
plans to meet the possible in-
creased opportunity to seed up | a“
soil building practices through :
the regular farm program, one i
of the chief of these practices be- I
ing terraces, concluded Mr. I
Brown.
