30,000 Due to Watch One-Day Face-Lifting For Apalachin Farm
Thirty thousand people are moving in on the Spicer Farm Apalachin today to see the greatest demonstration of face-lifting that has ever been attempted on an Upstate farm in a single day.
More than 200 men with all types of modern machinery will carry out soil conservation practices, water conservation measures and wild life preservation methods which under ordinary circumstances might require five years.
The field day was arranged by the U. S. Agriculture Department's Soil Conservation Service, the State College of Agriculture and the State Department of Conservation to demonstrate soil, water and forest conservation, upstream flood control, wildlife preservation and better farm and home management.
Soil conservation practices will include ditching, strip cropping, contour plowing, liming and fertilizing. Water conservation measures include farm ponds, outlets, grass farming, mulching and reforesting. Under forest conservation practices will come improvement cuttings, new plantations and better forest care.
Wildlife preservation takes in hedges and stocking of woods and ponds. Upstream flood control will feature dry ponds, outlets and ditches. Better farm and home management will include building design and layout, beautification of buildings and grounds, recreation and possibly remodeling of buildings.
Hundreds of men will clear land, improve pastures, rebuild and relocate fences, construct five farm ponds, and build about two miles of diversion ditches. Trees will be felled and sawed into boards by a portable sawmill set up on the farm.
Willard Spicer, the farm owner, is a former agricultural teacher at Owego High School. His wife is the former Mary Locke of Earlville. She also was a teacher. Not only will the 30,000 spectators witness the remaking of a farm but they will learn why each operation was carried on.
