An automobile requires oil and
grease to keep It In good working
condtton. Likewise, a terraced
field must have consideration at
plowing time to maintain it, says
H. M. Ellis, agrIciiUiiral engineer
of the State College Extension
Service.
Farmers in many sections of
North Carolina will be breaking
land soon, and unless they use
proper methods of plowing, the
work they have done during the
winter in building terraces is
likely to prove worthless. For this
reason, Ellis says, assistant farm
agents in most counties of the
State are prepared to conduct
demonstrations showing how to
plow terraced fields.
These demonstrations may be
arranged upon request by groups
of farmers, and the agents will
attempt to ma.ke them as conven
ient as poeeibie by holding them
at or near the time the breaking
of ground la started.
In explanation of proper meth

the terrace shonld always be
broken first by back-furrowing on
the ridge. The furrows are con

the floiv line is reached.
"A-second furrow is then start

channel. Plowing is continued to

the soil 'ttphin out of the channel,
until the channel is again reach

between terraces which may be
broken as a separate land.
