Albert Thomas and Clarence
Ferrell, tenants on .the farm of
Mrs. R. S. Tull Just east of Kins*
ton, and William Tripp, tenant
on Ely Perry’s farm north of
Kinston, spent considerable time
this spring, in building terraces
on sloping land. Both Mrs. Tull
and Perry have realized the need
for soil conserving practices and
with the .cooperation of these
men they are now able, to carry
than out. Contour rows have
been applied in some of these
fields between the terraces by the
“string method”.

Bruce Heath seeded about
three acres of an eroded field to
sericea lespdeza this spring for
soil improvement and hay. He
attempted to terrace this field
but because of the erosion that
had occurred he decided to re
tire it from cultivation. Wood
row Taylor seeded four acres to
sericea for the same reason. Thus
seven more acres of land in Le
noir County have been treated
according to tfieir capabilities.
A group of about twenty farm
ers near Hugo are cooperating
on digging a three-mile drainage
canal. Lyman Edwards has al
ready written a soil conservation
plan with th4 Southeastern Soil
Cdnservation District. When ap
plied to his farm it will help to
control erosion in file watershed
of the canal and keep it from fil
ling up with top soil.
