Crowds See 2 Farms In Ohio Revitalized in Day to Double Output By th· Associated Prtil BROWNSVILLE, Ohio. Oct. 3.— Bob Lath&m and John Rodman today looked over 208 acres of land that was new again. The two neigh bors with adjoining hill farms on the western edge of this village of 200 population saw ground they could expect to double in produc tion next year. T. C. Kennard, Ohio chief of the United States Soil Conservation Service, estimated that the two farms would produce at least 100 per cent more food next year, and that their productivity would in crease for Ave or more years with continued good farming practices. This was the result of yesterday's "opening of the second frontier"— 10 hours of concentrated work in restoring the two farms from the conditions in which generations of heavy farming had left them. Six hundred volunteers, mostly GI vo cational-agricultural students from the neighboring counties of Perry, Muskingum and Fairfield, manned 75 tractors, 10-odd lime spreaders, donens of trucks, and bulldozers, 'cats, crane and drag lines and carry-alls. Results Viewed From Air. They plowed" on the contour for strip cropping. They filled gullies, built a farm pond and refenced the two farms. From the air the whole scope of the demonstration was apparent. Two farms in one little watershed of the Licking Valley were treated as one farming unit—all to the end of making the topsoil stay where it belonged, not mixed up in the waters of a spring freshet on its way to the sea. and toward meting the same soil fertile and productive again. The hills looked combed, rather than scratched with erosion. "This is the last year we'll have more than 12 acres in wheat or more than 12 acres In corn," said Mr. Rodman, inspecting the work. He and Mr. Latham will start a four-year rotation next spring corn, wheat and oats, with the rest of the farms in pasture and perman ent meadows. Plan· Dairy Farm. "This «"going to be a Jersey dairy farm," Mr. Rodman said. "I've got nine head of Jerseys now and three Guernseys." Mr. Latham planned to change his farm over from hogs to cattle, both dairy and beef. Their detailed farm plans are be ing worked out now by the'people who made them the gift of the pew farms—the Licking County soil con servation district and the Soil Con servation Service. Thousands of people saw some of the demonstration. Estimates ran as high as SO,000. The State high way patrol said 40,000 cars were in this neighborhood. But Hugh H.
