The first V-type 'litoh in Chowan
County was dug on NuK»h Topnin’s
farm in Kooky Hock community
last week. This ditch was dug by
a special type dragline bucket and
can only be ihnr for field ditches.
This bucket has a 15-ineh bottom.
»* by 1 s*ide slope‘and is about
feet in height. With a by i side
slope a ditch 3 fee: deep will h -
feet across the top of the newly j
dug ditch. One of 'he main com
plaints of the drnalP e ditch among
farmers, is that the ditches are too
wide and costly t > he used to drain.j
fields. This new type of ditch has I
a narrow top width and the cost is ,
about 30 cents p. r "running yard." 1
Maynard Fleet wood is digging
these ditches with Hs new dine
line and the first ditch he cut cost
about 28* g cents per linear yard.
It is ltoped that wit it more exp.-ri

cost can b** lowered some. Mr. ■

Lonnie Harrell has made com
j pl.de conservation farm plans on j
the three farms be is operating.
1 First, all the Land was mapped ac
l cording to type and placed in land
classes, The farm planner then
walked over tile land w ith Mr. Bar
rel and planned it according to its
needs a.- shown by the land classi
fication. Tile Was planned on part
ot the land .While wildlife borders
were planned IM--ide the woods A
c omplete rotation was worked out
returning as muc h vi getahlcs to
the soil as possible each year. Cro
tolaria was planned on some of the
sandy soils as a soil building crop
and cover crops wero planned for
about two-thirds of the cropland, j
Yew pasture was planned on -one
of the wetter bottoms. These are
sniue of the things that ate plan
neii in the complete ei.nsi nation
farm plan.
Six inch, tile can be bollght for ,
14 * a cents per : foot delivered to
the farm by truck. A truck load
■ is 2.000 feet but more than. one
I order can lie placed on one truck
j provided the farmers desire this
j arrangement. Each farmer will get
delivery on his farm as if he has
[a truck load of tile. It is planned ,
to get a tile machine in the county
if enough farmers are interested in
' tile. It is necessary that the Soil
j Conservation service personnel
I know your plans to get the tile ,
machine and the file. Tile is ap
proved for ACP payment during
1956. Let’s make our plans now
and begin work on tile tile. We
f need it here
