SOIL CONSERVATION NEWS
' | By JAMES H. GRIFFIN. Soil Consarrafionisl
j
W. E. \ Bond, Edenton, select
ed his jftobacco land this year
using the’ soil survey may furn
ish him ty the Soil Conserva
tion Service through the'; local
Soil Conservation District. He
reports that this is the best to
bacco crop tie has raised in sev
eral years. He says it is one
of the few times he has had his
tobacco patch in the same type
of soil. It works better and
ripens alike.
Mr. Bond ist revising his con
servation farm; plan which was
prepared in iSeptember, 1945.
All the conservation practices
planned then hi'.ve been carried
out. Technical assistance in pre
paring the conservation farm
plan is furnished by the Chowan
Unit, Albemarle Soil Conserva
tion District.
(Mr. Bond has planned a grass
based rotation of wheat and fes
cue for his toba&cco acreage.
The wheat will be harvested and
the fescue left on the land for
two summers.
Other conservation practices
planned include operi. ditch and
tile drainage, coastal bermuda
grass add to his present graz
ing program, contour rows and
new field divisions to get each
field as near the same land ca
pability class as possible. Some
of his present fields have as
many as four land capability
classes or soil types all on the
same row. He says it’s impossi
ble to fertilize and cultivate
with so' many different condi
tions in the field.
Grass-Based Rotation
Richard Jackson, Yeopim com
munity, is starting a small grain
fescue rotation for his tobacco
this fall.. He will seed 20 pounds
of fescue 1 per acre mixed with
his small grain this fall. Next
spring, he will harvest the small
grain leading the fescue through
the summer.
According to a tobacco rota
tion experiment being conduct
ed at the Oxford Research Sta-

tion. this type of rotation is
worth over «SIOO per acre. It
controls nematodes, improves the
soil structure, increases the
water-holding capacity, and con
trols erosion.
If you haven’t tried fescue in
your tobacco rotation, now is the
time to seed the fescue and
small grain.
Burnt Mill Creek Watershed
E. C. Graham, SCS Assistant
State Conservationist, Water
sheds, and his party visited
Burnt Mill Creek and Pollock
Swamp last week following the
hurricane. They reported no
flood damage on Burnt Mill
Creek and plenty on Pollock
Swamp. The channels in Burnt
Mill Creek were full but not|
overflowing. Some damage was
done by the hurricane such as
trees falling in the channels and
“washes” caused by improper
alignment of culverts and inade
quate surface protection. Mr.
Graham and his party were
well-pleased with the “test” on
Burnt Mill Creek.
*1 A contract for the installation
iof culverts and preparing and
seeding of the roadway beside
the channels will be let within
the next few weeks.
Pollock Swamp Walenlhed
The planning of Pollock
Swamp Watershed has been
moved up to October following
the trip in the watershed last
week. Wallace Goodwin, Chair
man of the local landowners,
and L. C. Bunch, Chairman of
the Albemarle Soil Conservation
District, were told by Mr. Gra
ham that the SCS Planning
Party was ready to start as soon
as the local legal organization
was ready. The local legal
work is being stepped-up to
meet the new deadline of Octo
ber.
Damage from flooding of
cropland was heavy in the wa
tershed. Water crossed the roads
and several “wash-outs” oc-
