Farmers Urged to Raise Food and Fiber Output in Jasper
Arthur Watt, chairman of the Jasper County soil conservation district, urged a six percent rise in 1052 crop production. He cited conservation farming as the best path to higher yields, noting most gains must come from existing cultivated land. Contour planting, lime and fertilizer, strip cropping, and terracing boost yields, while nationwide potential rises from 60 to 75 percent with proper methods. District farmers are urged to pursue production goals without harming the land.
