we buy from. Our percentage of gross
profits will be the ones established by
the manufacturers and industry of

venting erosion on his cultivat-
ed land.
Mr. L. C. Smith of the Brady
Conservation group explained
his’experience of using Sere-
cta Lespedeza as a pasture
crop and how he was grazing
more than one cow per acre on
Sereda that he planted last
year. Mr. Smith has 60 acres
of Serecia Lespedeza and plans
to plan more next year.
This group of conservation
farmers told the chairman of
the board of supervisors, Mr.
Ben Childs, that farming the
conservation way was the
only way the farmers could ex
pect to succeed over a long
period of time so that their
farms would not wear out and
wash away hut would be eon-
served and gradually improv-
ed. They offered the district
board of supervisors their sup-
port in furthering soil conser-
vation work in their respective
soil conservation groups and
stated they would like to have
the opportunity of meeting
with the board of supervisors
at least once a year to learn of
others experience in farming
the conservation way.

The supervisors invited sev-
eral leading conservation farm-
ers from the Shelby county
portion of the district to meet
with them and discuss conser-
vation problems in the district
and ways in which they have
been practicing conservation
fanning on their farms.
District cooperators attend-
ing this meeting were Mr. J.
B. Adams, Buena Vista Con-
servation group, who gaVe
very interesting report on the
values of selectively harvest-
ing of timber. Mr. Adams ex-
plained that he had been se-
lectively harvesting the timber
on his farm for the past 4
years and that he was abie
now to see benefits of the in-
crease growth and improved
quality of timber that was
growing as a result of marking
his trees before cutting.
Mr. Adams stated that the
Soil Conservation Sendee per-
sonnel who are assisting the
district have been a great help
to the fanners in the Buena
Vista Conservation group by
assisting them in marking their
timber for harvest. The Soil
Conservation Service techni-
cians has selectively marked
timber on the following farms
in the Buer.a Vista group: Mr.
C. G. Lightfoot, Mr. J. F.
Ltcc, Mr. B. W. Adams, Mr.
Earl Adams, S. H. Hendricks,
Mr. T. P. Hendricks, and Mr.

tips are a good indication of
age.
These tips on choosing good
pickling cucumbers come from
Gwendolyne Jones, specialist
in food preservation for the A.
and M. College Extension Ser-
vice, who offers the following
suggestions concerning the
process of pickling:
The first job is to wash the
pickles. Miss Jones says that
cucumbers are best pickled
not later than 24 hours after
they have been gathered. So
she advises having all equip-
ment for washing and process-
ing ready.
pickles spoil, and in a brine
too strong, they shrivel.
For those inexperienced in
pickling, she suggests asking
the local county home demon-
stration agent for a free copy
of B-i31 “Preservation of
Vegetables by Salting and
Pickling” -or sending a request
to the Extension Service. A. &

stated that farmers in Sheiby
county should use more winter

tures and on cultivated land.
He outlined an adapted legume
program for Shelby county as
being Kobe, Common and Sere-

tures and White Dutch and

Mr. J. S. Hooper of the Ten-
nessee Conservation group dis-
cussed the value of turning un-
der crop residue in the fall of
the year and keeping ground
covered during the winter
with green vegetation as being
„ worth while practice for
old cultivated fields.
Mr. W. I. Nutt of the Han-
sen Switch Conservation group
told the group that if Serecia
Lespedeza was properly man-
aged and properly fertilized
that it had possibilities of be-
coming the leading hay crop
for the district. He stated that.
"I have already harvested over
a ton of hay per acre from my '
