CLARK DISTRICT CONSERVATIONIST In our continuing articles we are now discussing different types of conservation practices. Last week we mentioned contour farming, stripcropping, terraces, grass waterways, and farm ponds. We continue this week: Along the edge of a cultivated field runs a strip of land on which crops do not grow well. This strip, called a field border, often erodes faster than the rest of the field because excess rainwater flows from the crop rows to the edge of the field. Sometime's a gully starts in just this way. By planting field borders to some useful plant the farmer can prevent erosion and at the same time provide food and shelter to helpful birds and other small animals. Legumes, grasses, and shrubs are planted as field borders. Bicolor lespedeza, a shrub that is also a legume, is common in the South. A legume takes nitrogen from the air and adds it to the soil. Crop rotation is a good conservation practice for soils that are predominantly used for cultivated crops. Crop rotation is a systematic changing of crops to help prevent soil exhaustion - a tilled crop followed by a small grain and then by grass and a legume. The rotation may take three to five years or more to complete, depending on the type of the soil and the needs of the farmer or rancher. An example of a three-year rotation is corn the first year, wheat the second yeai, and a legume the third years. In this rotation the field is disturbed by cultivation only 1 year out of 3 ? when it is in corn. The many fibrous roots of the wheat, grass and legume, add nitrogen, and the roots help hold the soil in place. Experiments have shown that there is much less erosion under rotated crops than there is under a crop like corn grown year after year on the same land. Leaving the stalks or stubble of plants like wheat on the surface also helps to hold the soil in place. This practice is called by several names, including mulch tilling and stubble mulching. The stubble helps to prevent the wind from drying and blowing the soil. It gradually decays and turns into humus. Soil With humus does not wash or blow as easily as soil without humus. Stubble mulching is used in the Great Plains to help reduce wind erosion. But it helps in any part of the country. Scientists have proved that this practice is good for the soil, and farmers using soil conservation methods now make full use of any plant leftovers they have. Especially on the open prairies and plains, the winds get a good sweep across the land. If soil is bare and exposed, wind erosion can be serious." One way to help cut down the effects of wind is to plant tree windbreaks, or shelterbelts, across their path. In some places a single row of trees is enough, but in most places several rows with shrubs on the outer sides are needed. Windbreaks protect crops as well as soil and help to shelter animals and the farmhouse and other buildings. A good pasture or range is a fine protector of soil. But pasture ahd range must be given good care. If livestock eat forage plants too closely, these plants cannot grow fast enough to keep the soil from becoming bare and exposed to wind and water. Good pasture and range management requires knowing when to put the grazing animals on, how many to put on, and when to take them off. A woodland that is properly managed offers almost perfect protection to soil. The trees slow the force of the raindrops, and the soft thick mulch of dead leaves and twigs cushions their fall. Because fire destroys the mulch in addition the trees, woodlands must be protected against fire. On many farms the most productive Firemen Plan Two Meetings Two area firemen's meetings have been scheduled. The Hoke County Firemen's Association's quarterly meeting is tonight (Thursday) at 6 pjn. at the Stonewall Rural Fire Department, Jeff Davis, secretary, announced. The Stonewall Rural Fire Department, Inc., will hold the annual membership meeting 8 p.m., June 18, to elect officers. Chief Marty Jones urges members to attend. soil is too wet to grow good crops so the farmer has to cultivate his hillsides, or low-producing areas to grow enough crops. By draining his fertile land the farmer can plant the steep, hillsides and the low-producing areas to grass and trees - a much better use. Drainage used this way is a conservation practice. It allows the farmer to use his land efficiently. Wetlands can be drained either by open ditches or by underground drains, usually tile. Each method has its place, and each has advantages and disadvantages. One requirement for drainage is an outlet. If the area is so low that there is no outlet and the land is valuable enough, the water can be allowed to collect in a low place and then pumped off. In open-ditch drainage, surplus water moves over or through the soil to the ditches, which are spaced according to the soil, and is carried to the outlet. In title drainage, water seeps through the joints between the tOe and flows through the tile to the outlet. Conservation irrigation means using irrigated soils and irrigation water in a way that will insure efficient production without wasting either water or soil. Soif eroision is as great a menace to irrigated land in arid regions as it is to land in humid regions. Moreover, arid soils are generally low in organic natter, which leaves them highly susceptible to both wind and water eroiaion. Much of the eroision results from the mi?uae~of irrigation water-using too much aid applying it improperly. There are other conaervation practices not discussed here; and not all practices are techniques for conaerving water and protecting soil. Conservation activities touch the Uves of everyone, so we must consider the total environment, (to be concluded next week) E*rybo4y% lor you to stop It.
