SMITH A school for the Soil Conserva lon Service technicians, on how 0 lay out contour and parallel trip cropping, was held in Ma 011 County recently Conducting he school were two men from the tate office in Raleigh. They iere Hmniett Pollock. Agronomi st, and Ta\ior C'urrin Engineer rhe school showed the techni lans new methods of arranging he alternate strips so that all if the rows in the cultivated trips will he parallel and all 1 II he oi approximately ef|U3l fngth Strip cropping is a very effec ive method of controlling erosion l cultivated fields When contour trips are used, often there are numoer of short rows at one ide oi the cultivated strips, and Ins tact has discouraged many armeis from using the strip roppmg meiliod. Now that the' roblem has been solved, many ther farmers will be interested i going lo strip cropping for soil rotection. In any strip cropping system., nly part of a field is cultivated t a time The field is arranged o that one strip is in cultivation ?hile the strip below it is in a lose growing crop such as grass, mall grain, or broadcast beans r peas In the event of a par icularlv heavy rain, the close-) rowing strips catch the run-off nd soil and spread them out so lat ihey can do no further dam ge. Tlie soil which is washed rom one strip is caught and eld in the strip below so that ery little soil is actually lost rom the field When it is necessary to re-seen large and steep pasture, it is sualiy desirable to break only iaif of the ground at one lime nd this should be done in alter ate strips. Many farmers have iad the sad experience of losing nost of the top soil from a .hole field in one heavy rain Iter the ground was broken Inr e-seeding Breaking in alternate : rips would have prevented a) nost all of the soil losses While at the school on strip ropping. I "as particularly truck by one fact brought out )ne of the fields which we laid nit parallel strips on had been n sericea lespetlcza for twelve ir fifteen years prior to 1959 It las planted to corn last year Uthough the s:ope of the land *as steeper than is generally onsidered safe for cultivation, here is no sign of any soil rosion in the field In an ad orning field, equally steep, which iad been planted continually in orn. there were washes, and gui les throughout the field The dif erenre in the two fields was the imount of organic matter which he soils contained The sericea) leld had a high amount of or :anic matter built up by the terns, roots and leaven of the ericea The adjoining field had leen stripped of most of the or !anic matter in the form of silage ind very little of it had been eturned to the soil each year Several farmers in Cherokee ounty who use a strip cropping system in their cultivated field ire well pleased with the result* lohn R Martin of the old Martins 'reek Section and Clarence Pace if near Marble have practiced his conservation measure for ?everal years, and swear by it tho Fidel. s Sunday School class o!
