THE DANBURY REPORTER
Soil Conservation News
One of the jobs tl:it farmers
: can do this wiMir to cjet rea !y
! for all-out c" -p piv luction to
|meet wrr neeJ« in 19M is t plow
out their terraces to maintain
adequate channel capacity and en
able the terrace to function prop
erly.
Labor and teams or power
equipment will not be in great de
mand until spring planting time.
A. C. Metz, Work Unit Conserva
tionist of the Dan River soil con
servation district, points out, and
in the meantime terraces can be
plowed out at any time when
weather conditions are favorable.
Where flat breaking or complete
plowing Is used in preparing land,
terraces can be maintained as a
part of the land preparation,
Metz explains. The whole "trick'
is to plow in such a manner
across the slope that" each trip is
effective in bringing the terrace
to the right size and shape.
In plowing new terraces with
narrow channels, the width of the
land can be increased slightly at
each plowing until the desired
cross section is obtained. Thi
wi 11 increase channel capacity,
round out the bottom, and provide
ilatter side slopes that will nat
interfere with operation of farm
equipment in the field.
Methods of plowing for terrace
maintenance with turning plow,
disc plow, and disc tiller are de
scribed in an illustrated leaflet of
the U. S. Dcaprtment of Agricul
ture, copies of which can be ob
tained at the office of the Soil
Conservation Service in Danbury,
N. C., Metz said.
