Twelve farmers of LaSalle parish were selected to conduct farm unit demonstrations a series of nine at meetings recently held at Jena, Louisiana, announces J. B. Holton, parish agent. These meetings were conducted under the supervision of Mr.
Holton. assisted by C. B. Roark of the Agricultural Extension Service. Due to the urgent demand for food for defense.
and the need for LaSalle parish farmers to shift further away from the one-crop system and the row-crop system to a better balanced and more permanent type of farming, there is a need for a new approach. points out Mr. Holton. It is with this in view that the citizens of the nine communities selected these test demonstrations. They are designed to prove to farmers and their neighbors that this new approach to their problem will bring about a more permanent and stable type of farming and will show an attitude of cooperation in the food for defense campaign.
"This test demonstration work is not new in LaSalle parish." states Mr. Holton. "Two years ago the following farmers, Ed Turnlev. J. D.
Hood. R. B. Day, John Kirkham and S. E.
Windham signed agreements with the Extension Service and the Tennessee Valley Authority to conduct community farm unit demonstrations using their entire farms. The success of these five farmers was demonstrated to their neighbors. This new approach to producing abundant feed of superior quality, and increasing and improving their livestock. stopping soil erosion and enriching soils are practices well known among farmers here. These test demonstrators are supplied with liberal amounts of concentrated phosphate for use in conducting these demonstrations.
Research workers have found that most of the state and especially the area in which LaSalle is located is very deficient in phosphorous. The T. V. A. supplies new concentrated phosphates to organized groups of farmers for testing on their farms.
In addition to paying the freight charges for the phosphorous the demonstrator must reorganize his farm business and adopt desirable and practical farm practices. At these meetings in LaSalle parish the following committeemen were chosen by their respective communities: Tarver community--B. F. McDaniel. R.
E. McDaniel. Rosefield community John Hodges. Gordon Hooter, Tom Eubanks. (Continued on Back Page) Prominent Olla Citizen Succumbs to Lingering Illness Frank M.
