Moore County Farmers Build 78 Ponds
In 1957 In Soil Conservation Effort
Couniy Now Has 851
Farms Having Banc
Conservation Plans
By WILLARD K, KELLER
Moor© County Work Unit

Soil Conservation Service
The year 1957 is history and
Moore County farmers are part
of that history. Droughts Aid
hurricanes in recent years have
made everyone water 'conscious
either too much or too little.
Thus it was that the attention
of ^1,130 Moore county farmers
cooperating with the Upper Cape
Fear Soil Conservation District
with those practices and
measures involving water. The
same is true with the nearly 87,-
000 farmers cooperating with the
37 soil conservation districts
covering the State of North Car
olina.
The sustained effort of farmers
to provide water when it is need
ed ere reflected in county reports
for the past three years. We as
sisted with construction of 26
farm ponds in 1955, 70 in 1956,
and 78 in 1957.
According to a survey in June,
there were 36, 254 farm ponds in
the State, most of which were
built during the past 12 years.

Crop residues of various kinds
enable water, to get into the
.Alii during rains and stay there
longer after the rain ends, thus
reducing runoff, floods and soil
washing. County cooperators
added 641 acres this year and
completed conservation crop ro
tations on 250 acres. There is
verj' little burning of crop resi
due in Moore County.
State reports indicate over 1
232,000 acres of residue return
ed to the soil and 154,000 addi
tional acres of completed rota-]
tions in the State as a whole.
Strip Cropping
Contour strip cropping was I
started on 26 acres in Moore
county and on 7,600 acres in the |
State, in 1957. Farmers construc
ted nine miles of terraces
Moore county and 1,866 miles in
the State.
.Tile drainage only amount
ed to 1,391 feet in Moore county
but more than 2,000,000 feet was
installed by cooperating farmers]
in the State. No open ditches
were dug by local farmers, but
the amount for the State is an i
astonishing 1,695 miles. It i^ es
timated that the open ditches dug
and the tile installed benefittedj
9,400 acres of crop land.
A total of 341 acres of trees
were planted on SCD cooperators
farms in Moore county in 1957.
and over 18,000 acres on cooper-j
ators farms in the state.
With 39 farmers signing coop
erative agreements the number
has now risen to 1,130 coopera
tors in Moore county; 94 agree
ments have been cancelled by
the District primarily because of
change of land ownership. Nine
teen basic conservation plans |
were put in operation bringing
,he county total to 851.
The SCS assisted 114 farm
ers in Moore county and
about 12,000 in the state in the
Agricultural Conservation Pro
gram at the request of the local
ASC County Committee. This as
sistance was in site selection,
layout and supervision of penna-
nent type practices such as drain
age facilities and farm ponds.
I wish to take this opportunity
to publicly thank local newspa
pers for the cooperation given
the SCS and the District in our
efforts to put the conservation |
facts before the public.
Would you call thjs fair play?
Referee gives “Visitors” a boost—
“Home” team has to score on its
own. What kind of game is that?
Ridiculous—yet you and most
people face that same kind of un
fairness all the time with some of
your taxes. These are the taxes you
pay in your electric bills.
About 23 cents out of every dol
lar you pay for electricity goes for
taxes. But a strange twist in federal
law exempts several million families
and^businesses from paying aU the
taxes in their electric bills that you
pay in yours. These are people
whose electricity comes from fed
eral government electric systems.
You have to help make up the taxes
these people don’t pay.
Most Americans feel that every
one should pay his fair share of
taxes. Don’t you agree?
