Conservation News trip Cropping Is Help In Tractor Cultivating By NAT WHITE, Soil Conservation Service Farming sloping land with tractors is one of the hardest problems that Warren County farmers have to solve. The old conventional terraces on most Warren County farms have short rows, corners, and ter race banks that make tractor farming extremely difficult. This problem is being handled with two practices: parallel terraces and parallel strips. Each of these practices' reduce or eliminate the short rows by having the lines parallel. With parallel strips the ter races are eliminated and row crops are planted in alternate strips with sod crops. When heavy rains fall the water that runs out of the clean cultivat ed strip is quickly dispersed and absorved in the sod strip below. In the larger fields it is necessary to put an occa sional diversion terrace on the strip lines to keep the water from accumulating. Strip cropping on the paral lel is one of the best ways to conserve soil while farming with tractors. This is not patch farming by any stretch of the imagination. A look at William Bender's strip crop ping on .his farm near Afton in Warren County will bear this out. Bender does all of his work with tractors; he has not own ed a mule for several years His strips are 80 feet wide and some of them are more than 1200 feet long with more than two acres in the strip. His fences, roads, and other field boundaries have been changed to eliminate corners and short rows. Bender reports that he can work his land equally as fast, if not faster, than he did before starting the strip crop ping system. For a tractor farmer who does not like terraces parallel, strip cropping may be the an swer to his problem. COURT (Continued from page 1) suspended for two years upon condition he pay to the Warren County Welfare Department the sum of $35 per month for the support of his children and costs.

Oscar Wilson, no operator's not guilty. Parallel strip cropping is William Bender's answer to farm ing sloping land with tractors. Here he alternates strips of row crops with strips of sod crops to conserve his soil and water and speed up the tractor farming.
