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.
