Mr B D Robinson, who is with the
Soil Conservation project at High
Point, will be present to help with
these demonstrations He will show
how to take out the terrace lines and
then will actually build the terraces
.He will use light terracing machin
ery that any farmer can use on* his
individual farm if he has three or
four mules, or a farm tractor to pull
the machine
Since terracing is such an import
