Model farm teaches soil conservation to youngsters
In a 160 acre county farm project, under teacher Wanda Jones, students from first through eighth grade built a scale model of land with hills, waterways, a pond and an erosion dam. Rubber sponge trees, wildlife areas, and gully banks were added, and fields were painted to reflect cropping. The Milner farm plan inspired the model and the Fee school near Knoxville also contributed notable work.
