Soil Cunwtvotion N?w? Good Drainage Pays Big Profits By M. H. OWENS Soil CoMervntioalst "Tile drainage has made Bit more money than anytfcwft rise I've ever tried. It it the most ef fective way of draining my farm " sail George Creech of the Wild wood community. He said his tile drainage system cost him $500, but he was sure it had made him over $2,000 this year alone by keeping his tobacco from drowning. Creech contacted the soli ran servatfooist, representing the lo cal toil conservation district, for help In working oat ?? effective drainage plan on his farm. The location, size and depth of the tfle was planned. Fifteen hun dred feet of tile was laid last winter and he expects to pnt in about 1,500 more feet this fall. George knew that tile drainage or even a complete drainage sys tem was not all that his farm needed. With technical help pro vided by the Lower Neuse Soil Con servation District he developed a plan which included tile drainage, open ditches, grass waterways, crop rotation and planting row crops on the contour. He has cut about one mile of dragline ditches on his farm. He feels that the only additional ditches he now needs would be for tile outlets. With adequate tile drainage, Mr. Creech felt that grassed water ways would be the most effective way of removing the surface wa ter. Last year he shaped and seed ed about 1,000 feet of waterways in fescue grass. He found that this not only provided excellent outlets for surface water, but provided very adequate turning space at the end of his rows. (twrte had kni fallowing a Maps t?a rata Ml.

After harvesting the small (rain, the fescue will remain on the land until February of 1K0 whan it will be turned under. He plans to con tinue this rotation each year. Mr. Creech was losing a lot of top soil from some of his best tobacco land.

No one likes to buy something he does not want, and if you have two or more grades of tobacco mixed in the same pile, you may be forcing soraeoae to do jutt this. A buyer niay want <*ie grade bat hot the other, but IT he buys ohe, he has to buy both.
