Farming for Better Living aims at UMVA program
James L. Copeman directs the Farming for Better Living project in Taylor County with County Agent Carroll Hawkins to recruit enrollees for a five activity based program. About 100 farmers across three counties have joined as the state extension division and Upper Monongahela Valley Association promote community life and soil care. The plan emphasizes neat farm appearance with aligned colors, covered machinery, fenced poultry areas, screened homes, and maintained gates and porches. Home gardens should yield year round with at least half an acre well planned. poultry units require 300 chicks, brooder setups, and 100-125 layers each fall, plus soil improvement through lime and fertilizer.
