S#il Coiiserva?ioR News Spring Beauty In Warren County IVIarred By Ugly Erosion Spots By NAT WHITE, Soil Conservationist It's spring again, and War ren County rural scenery is a thing of beauty. Dogwoods and redbuds are in full bloom, pastures, small grain, and hay fields are deep green, and farm ponds spar kle in the distance. There are a number of ugly things that mar this beauty; things that should not have happen ed, and things that can be eliminated. In 'he spring a farmer must prepare his land for new crops. When the soil is exposed most of the land is gray; good top soil capable of making top yields. There are. however, a lot of red eroded areas; ugly galls where crop stands will be poor and yields low. Unless good conservation practices are used more of these galls will appear, and the ones there will get larger. These I eroded areas cost Warren I County farmers thousands of I dollars each year, and they i' I ers are employing heavy equipment to haul top soil I back on the land, but " a i lot easier to keep it re than to haul it back ! Another ugly sight in the spring is the black irr ed fields that have been burned. Careful planning is needed by farmers to get around burning the residue I from his land. In some cases | there is so much residue that the farmer needs to disk the land in the fall to allow the j residue t<- decompose during the winter. The soil fertility is impaired by burning, and erosion is much worse where the residue is burned from the land. One of the major causes of woods fires is burn j ing crop land Each spring ; the blackened trunks of trees, the brown tops of burned pines, and the black forest floor shows us where a fire got away. Muddy water is very preva lent in the spring. During 1 the winter months much of the land is protected by crop residue and by weeds and grass that grew after the farmer stopped plowing his crop. During the summer the crop is growing on the lam! land offers protection. It is in the spring that the land J has the least protection, and muddy water is everywhere i after a heavy rain. This mud i dy water flow- into ponds, creeks, and rivers, and it is always harmful. Warren County is indeed beautiful in the spring. It | will be more beautiful as good conservation practices are used more and rrore by farmers. A farm with a good conservation program is al ways pleasing to the eve / LITTLETON ^ ^ NEWS J Miss Sue Praduckny of Nor folk, Va., visited Mrs. I. M Lewis on Friday.
