Olive, District Supervisor of New Hill, says that he had more drowning of tobacco when he ran his rows straight up and down the hill over the terraces. The tobac co actually drowned behind the terraces as water pounded in the flow line. S. L. Veazey of Varina remark ed that cultivating on the contour was good sense on his land as it gave more time for water to soak in the land. “Yes, it means a few extra turns,” he continued, “but a little extra time in turning saves time in repairing washes.” Contour Cultivation Harvey Faulkner of Knightdale says cultivating with a tractor n the contour is easier than culti vating up the hill over terraces.
