STILL POSSIBILITY RECEIVE
PLY SOIL BUILDING PRACTICES
Any ono who ct.rried out any of the
soil building prectieies prescribed
by the Government during the 1937
soc.son, may still make application,
according to Hr. 1.1 .C.Anderson,
District Extonsi m Agent.
There will probably bo suite a nur
ber in the Valley that will be able
to receive payment for applying
chemical fertilizer. Paynont for
this will be nade at the rate of
GO# per hundred pounds, the total
pryr.ent not to exceed $3.00 per
acre -fertilized plus $12.00.
There are set figures for control
of erosion by terracing, ditching,
filling of sh; lluw gullies, cuitivni
tion.along contour linos; and for
plrnting of such non-depleting
crops as grasses from which no
grain is harvested, field peas, cow
peas, pigeon peas and various kinds
of beans, provided the vinos arc
not removed from the land, alfalfa,
vetch, clover and lupines. Paynont
can only bo paid if any crop is
harvested and the vinos must be
plowed into the ground as green
nanurc. Planting land entirely to
f orest trees or windbro? k trees
either by planting seedling trees
jr by seeding on suitably prep:.red
land, will be paid for r t the rate
of 45*00 Por fcro.
' Tr. Anderson cells our rttention to
tie feet thot it is possible to
intcrplnnt birch trees row ^tending
with y .ung snruco trees; then when
the birches rot or blow down, the .
spruce will probably have developed
to the plr.ee whore they cr.n stand
cl-ne. He also suggests that it
would be advisable for some civic
body, possibly the C uncil, forn r.
cenr.ittee to look into a plan for
correct planting of trees for wind
breaks suitable for each district.
"Some system c ould be w jrked out to
establish related windbreaks throug]
out the Valley," says Mr. .indorsofi,
'tnd the Extension Service would be
glad tj work with any group to ac
complish this purpose."
