Smith A short newt article in the Sunday Asheville Citiien called attention to the fact that East era Europe was covered with a fat cloud Last week. The article stated that the dust was Mowing into Europe from the province of Kazakhstan in Russia. When I read the article. I was remind ad of the dust storms in the country back in the thirties, when the soils of Kansas, Oklahoma and other western states were blown over North Carolina and on into the Atlantic Ocean. The cause of the recent dust storms in Russia is probably the same as the cause of our own storms ? too much land put in cultivation that should have been left in grass. The high price of wheat and other small grains in the thirties caused the farmers in the west to plow up tremend ous acreages that had been in grass since the world began. The dry weather which followed, and the constant wind soon turned the whole area into a huge dust bowl. I can remember weeks when the sky was constantly darkened by the soil in the atmo sphere from the dust bowl. It was a standing joke in those days to say "If you have never been to Kansas, just look up. You can see it as it passes overhead". We here in Cherokee County and the rest of the mountain area do not have to worry too much about our land blowing away be cause of several reasons. First, the amount of cultivated land in comparison to the total land area is very small. Also, the land which is cultivated is protected by the mountains from being ex posed to very much strong wind. This condition does not exist all over North Carolina, however. In the Coastal Plains section of the state, the proportion of cultivated land in comparison with the total land area is very high. The fields are large, and there are no hills to protect the land from the force of winds. Every year in March and April the wind begins to blow constant ly and on the light, sandy soils that are not protected, there is a tremendous amount of wind erosion. In one afternoon about 1950 or 1951, a highway ditch completely filled wth soil blow ing out of a field just across the highway. The ditch before the wind storm had been three feet deep and sloped out to a width of more than eight feet at the top. Before sunset, the field was level up to the edge of the high way. The best cure for this wind erosion is either contour or par allel atrip cropping. When alter nate strips are planted to close growing crops such as small grain or lespedeza, and the others are in row crops, the force o t the wind is broken to the point that no soil is blown out of the field. The wife of one of my friends told me that her house work was cut in half and then half again when her husband established contour strip cropping all of his cultivated fields. She said that before, she could not keep the house clean. After contour strip cropping was established, the dust and dirt quit blowing into the house, and one dusting a week was all ot took to keep the house clean and neat.
