"Xaintenanoe of strip aropping
consists in maintaining ? a thick
growth of crops in the protective
strips and in keeping the strip in
the proper position on the field.
. What Has been said regarding
crop rotation maintenance will ap
ply in large measure to strip crop
maintenance. Weak places in , the
atrip, that is , places where the ve
getative cover does- aot furnish
sufficient protection against erosi
on, should be reinforced with addi
tional teed and fertiliser, Well
rotted stable jnanure will 'always
be found to be- more effective - for
tibia purpose than commereial fer
tilizer, Where a small gully is be
ginning to form across the. strip,
it will be necessary to plow in top.
soil and also to fertilize and to re-
seed. A Jittte strawwor other litter
placed is the bottom of the gully
belore plowing is very effective.
Where the gully has been plowed
to assume larger proportions ' it
may be advisable, in addition to
the above treatment, to pave the
area lightly with small brash an
chored firmly to the ground. .
i : Where crops are rotated in strips
the badly washed places or deep
draws should remain in the close
growing crop, even when that
strip is in row crop.
-'Prompt action in repairing a
damaked section of a strip is espe
cially important if strip cropping
is to be effective in controlling e-
rosion over a penod of years.
Strips of -permanent hay should
be kept free of woods by thorough
preparation o fthe seed bed, by
the use of only high quality seed
in amounts sufficient to establish
a thick growth the first year, and
by judicious clipping. The hay sh
ould be out at the propertime and
high enough from the ground to a
void retarding the next growth.
When it becomes necessary to plow
up a permanent strip, such as al
falfa, and use for cultivated crops
for one orme years, yespedeza or
clover should be grown in the area
between these strips during this
period. '
The contour lines abd out for
strip cropping where there are no
terraces should be maintained by
plowing a back furrow at each
plowing to make a slight' ridge.
The strips should remain in the
same position relative to this ridge I
tthat is, astned the ridge. 1
It mast be remembered that a
soil conservation program is large
ly one of wise land usage. Each
acre of land on the farm should be
put to that use for which it is by
nature best adapted. If it becomes
apparent, therefore, that condit
ions, such' as soil type or slope of
the land, are such that strip crop
ping will not control erosion ef
fectively even when persistent ef
fort is being made to maintain the
strips, the field should be retired
from cultivation altogether and
planted to trees or seeded solid to
some soil building crop such as Ies
pedeza' or to some good hay or pa
sture mixture as the needs of the
farm may warrant."
Rockingham County is boasting
of an exceptionally good lespede
ta crop this season, with practi
cally all farms saving a nice crop
of hay.- . - -
