Meadow Waterways
Help Reduce Erosion
Sloping Land Vulner
able to Heavy Losses,
Says Jordan
BY R. C. JORDAN
Soil Conservation Service
Soil losses caused by erosion are
quite large from many fields in Cho
wan County. Fields most vulnerable
to such erosion losses are the sloping
fields —generally, though not always,
'located around the rims of the
swamps. On these sloping fields sur
plus water concentrates in certain
areas and breaks across the crop rows,
soon forming gullies. The transported
soil is usually deposited in the swamps
or runs to block them and to eventual
ly impair them as drainage ways.
Usually, unless these field washes or
gullies are given appropriate treat
ment they become larger and deeper.
Quite often they get too large and too
deep for cultivating equipment to
cross them. Many times they get
too large for terraces to be construct
ed over them. Proper treatment for
tli«se waterways consists of broadcast
seeding, after appropriate land prepa
ration and fertilization operations
have become completed. Sericea Les
pedeza and Kentucky 31 Fescue are
excellent crops for seeding these wa
terways. Surplus field water that
moves over these seeded or vegetated
areas carries very little soil.
Glenn Bunch of the Cross Roads
Community and Lloyd C. Bunch of
the Enterprise Community have rec
ognized the value of seeding such wa
s
- terways. On their farm* they had
. one or two fields adjacent to swanks
, where gully erosion was becoming
, serious. To prevent further damages
- and continued loss of good field top
soil they have seeded the erosion
. —made waterways to Sericea lespe
, deza and Fescue grass. Technicians
, of the Soil Conservation Service as
- sisted them in the layout and seeding
. operations.
Lloyd Bunch, Chairman of the Al
■ bemarle Soil Conservation District,
• says that he considers the meadow
. waterways to be the best method of
, checking gully erosion on many of the
» fields in this area of North Carolina,
r He says that the outlets should al
. ways be established before terraces
< are built.
Many times, Mr. Bunch pointed out,
' vegetated outlets will not be necessary
if other erosion control practices such
sis contour cultivation and terracing
1 are started in time. This is especially
true where natural waterways are
available for disposal of terrace wa
ter, he stated. “Now is the time,”
concludes Mr. Bunch, “to start soil
saving practices on _these sloping,
eroding fields of ours.”
The happiness of love is in action;
its test is what one is willing to do
for others. —Lew Wallace.
