The Cultivated Hill Land Must be
Terraced.

| Terraced.
We believe the South is more
and more coming to see that
soil conservation is one of our
very biggest problems, and this
is well, for soil fertility is the
basis on which a very large part
of our rural wealth and welfare
must rest.
And as we are coming to see
the greatness of this problem, we
are coming to see as never be-
fore that our cultivated hill lands
must be terraced if they are to
be saved from erosion and ruin.
1t is idle to say that deep plow-
ing will keep hill lands from
washing; it is futile to say that
all these lands should be kept In
grass. Deep blowing and hu-
mus will not alone keep such
lands from washing, and the
time will never be when large
areas of such lands all over the
South will not be in clean cultur-
ed crops. Knowing that we,
our children and our grandchil-
dren will in all likelihood contin-
ue to grow cotton and corn on
these rolling fields, what can we
do to save them from the devas-
tation that has come to uncared
for hill lands the world over?
First of all, we must terrace
them, carrying our terrace lines
around the hillsides in such a
way that the excess rainfall will
be carried away slowly, without
washing the soil. Except along
our rivers and in the fiat costal
plain sections, we regard ter
aces, or at least laying off the
'ows along counter lines around
he hillside, absolutely essential.
And now, with the coming of the
broad, cultivated terrace, which
ldmits of the cultivation of every
BART of the field and the use of
III sorts of improved machinery.
here is little valid excuse for
ny of the prejudice against ter
aces. On the other hand, there
re plenty of sound arguments in
heir favor.
By all means pillow deep and
il your lands with humus; by I
ii means grow winter cover
rop on every possible acre, but
7hen you have done these things,
lake assurance doubly sure by {
with broad terraces ev- {
ry field that threatens to wash.
is a most satisfying thing in a
eed, when the floods come, to |
ct out over your fields and see G
ne plant food that cost you hard
ollars and hard work staying
here you want it to stay. And !,
accidentally, this is good farm ]
