PAGE TWO Equipment Arrives For Use In Ditching Available For Convert ing Old Style Ditches To Sloped Type According to R. C. Jordan, Soil Conservationist, notice has been re ceived in the Chowan Work Unit that so: .> heavy drainage equipment has been received by the Albemarle Soil Conservation District. The items re ceived so far consist of a grader and tractor. This equipment will be used for the purpose of converting the old- ; st'’ l and-cut tap ditches into the. sloped or V-type tap ditches. Sched ules for the operation of this equip ment will have to be worked out by the board of district supervisors in order that the different counties with- j in the district may be able to use it a : pro rata share of the time. Likewise, tii' ethod or plan of rental to indivi d. al farmers will have to be set up. Pit's urn'ably, this will be done in the; near future. la Chowan County the sloped or V-, type of ditch is becoming more popu- ] lar with individual farmers. Many farmers'.have- farm plans which call, for the sloping of all the tap ditches I four ! n their farms. To date, the; bo ! r k m this type of work has be T. the lack of. suitable equipment j f d dug the job. It is to be expect-T ed however, that as this type of j equipment becomes available, more] and More, farmers will purchase units j for individual farm use.
