Uncovered Hillside Soils Lose
Tons of Fertility Annually
That Could Be Saved.
TERRACING Will Save 1T
Laying Off Terraces on the Slopes and
Growing Winter Cover Crops Will
save Millions to South Carolina
Farmers-Hilside Erosion Especial
'y Costly In Piedmont Section oi
State.

South Carolina farmers, and espe.
cially those in the hilly Piedmont Sec
ton, need to terrace their lands to
keep the soil from being washed away
by erosion, which is a wearing away
caused by wind and rain. The ero-
sion caused by rain water washes
thousands Of tons of soil annually
from the lands of this state, with a
consequent loss Of fertility. Natures
method of preventing erosion is to
keep the soil covered with trees,
leaves, and grass. Mans method is
to terrace and grow winter cover
crops.
A terrace Is ridge of soil thrown
up in such a manner as to prevent
water from flowing rapidly down a
hillside or slope. Only steep or rolling
lands need terracing.
Use leveling instrument in run
ming lines for terraces. One can be
had for from $12 to $25 and can be
used for many other kinds of work on
the farm. 1t is necessary also to have
a hillside" plow, 80 that the dirt can
be thrown always down hill.
After determining on the line Of the
terrace, by the use Of the leveling in.
strument, begin on that line and throw
the first furrow up hill. Going above
it. using hillside plow, throw the
next fulTow down hill. Throw each
succeeding furrow down hill until the
proper distance has been covered to
get an elevation Of about three feet
This system, having the terraces about
three feet high and vertical, will give
what Is known as the level bench
terrace, the land between any two
terraces becoming a level bench with
no fall IN any direction after a few
years cultivation. The level bench
terrace Is best suited to most of the
farms in Piedmont South Carolina.
The strongest and highest terraces
should be located, as rule, near the
upper edge Of the hillside field, be.
cause it, the top terrace breaks it is
we'll nigh impossible to prevent the
terraces below from being swept
away.
Run terrace or ditch at the upper
edge Of the field to care for the sur.
plus water which may come from an
adjoining field, pasture or woodland
Such surplus water often proves too
much for any system Of terraces to
control.
Crossing terraces with teams, plows
or wagons will form depressions that
will allow water to break over and
start gullies, which weaken and de.
stroy terrace. Avoid this by leav.
