SOL CONSERVAPON NEWS
By JAMES H. GRIFFIN, Soil Conwrrationisf
Earl Jones and C. E. Lupton,
Edenton, are planning to estab
lish a grass waterway and tile
drains rather than, dig the open
ditch they thought they needed.
Last Thursday, Work Unit
Conservationist James H. Grif
fin met with both farmers to
advise them on the proposed
ditch on the property line. A
look was taken of the site for
the ditch. Soil survey maps of
the two farms were studied. It
was found that the soil on the|
Jones farm was Craven fine;
sandy loam, a soil moderately
well-drained but noted for sur
face water problems. Soils on
the Lupton farm showed the
need for internal drainage.
Mr. Jones was advised that a:
grass waterway would solve his
water problems and provide the
farm road he needed. Also, that
the proposed open ditch might
start an erosion problem due to I
the soil type gnd slope of the 1

land. He decided on the grass
waterway.
Mr. Lupton was advised that
a tile drainage system would
solve his drainage problems. The
nearby swamp provided an ade
quate outlet without an open
ditch. Cost of the tile systems
was figured and Mr. Lupton de
cided on the • tile. Both men
are happy with the technical ad
vice.
Now, they realize the need for
re-planning their farms. Soil
and water conservation plans
have been prepared on both
farms but are out-of-date. Mr.
Jones has requested the Chowan
County Supervisors for techni
cal assistance to replan his farm
as soon as possible. He is sched
uled for assistance in 1961.
Both men feel that by being
district cooperators, thev have
profited. Otherwise, thev would
have dug a dragline ditch to
solve a surface water problem
THE CHOWAN HERALD
and an internal drainage prob
lem. Now they have to correct
practices to solve this individual
problem. These two practices
will be added to their respective
soil and water conservation
plans. ,
