steep that il is with difficulty they
can be cultivated. Under the old
system OF checking of the fields, these
hill-sides have become serried with
gullies, a large proportion of them
surrendered to nature, being past cure
from ordinary care of man. 1t WAS

these fields and clear more land for

there is little more to clear; in fact, it
has Involved such q destruction Of

a few farmers impressed with the
importance of tho subject devised
various plans to remedy this whole

in all the plans, and some met with
such success that they have not only
arrested the evil, but have been able
to improve lands reduced by washing
