FARM TERRACING IS
VALUABLE PRACTICE

Great Advantages to Be Derived Ar
Little Understood in Greater Por-

vents Soil Washing.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The owner of large farm in Penn
sylvania, on which one of the first at
tempts at terracing in the North At
lantic states was undertaken last
spring, is enthusiastic about the bene-
efits of this work. He has asked that
the drainage division of the Bureau of
Public Roads, which supervised the
project, aid in extending the terracing
this fall.
This sort of rural engineering is new
in the region, and the low ridges at
various levels on the slOping fields of
this farm have occasioncd the liveli-
est interest in the whole district. Ter
racing of various types has been prac-
ticed in parts of the South for num-
ber of years, but in many sections of
the North its great advantages are
little understood. Consequently, the
bureau is particularly interested in
this demonstration of the permanent
value of terracing on this Pennsyl-
vania farm.
The Bureau of Public Roads points
out that the washing away of earth
by water costs the farmers of the
United States approximately one mil
lion dollars every year. Soil losses
from this cause occur in every state
of the union and in almost every coun-
ty of every state. Terracing is the
most effective method of prevention.
There are two types of terraces
the bench terrace and the ridge ter
race. A field of bench terraces re-
sembles a series of benches or a flight
of steps. Ridge terraces, as the name
implies, are simply ridges of earth
thrown up across the slopes or HILL
sides. Ridge terraces are divided into
two classes with respect to width and
base, narrow base and the broad base.
A broad base is the more recent type
of the two, and as yet has been used
in only a few localities. However,
1t is rapidly coming into general use
and is taking the place of the narrow
base because of its superiority for
most, If not all, conditions. This Is
the type on the Pennsylvania farm.
It's chief advantage lies in the fact
that 1t can be readily crossed by large
farm machinery. and therefore 1t does
not interfere with the usual farm op-
erations. The broad embankment of
earth gives the terrace strength to
withstand the pressure of water and
prevents breaks due to seepage.

arrival of the four pickaninnies, white
citizens journeyed out to the little log
cabin on the outskirts of the town to
look 'em over. Whereupon Andrew
painted a sign and nailed it to his
door. The sign read:
Come and see the babies. Admis-

REPAIR SHOP QUITE USEFUL
Time and Money Saved When Tractor
or Other Machinery Happens to
Get Out Of Order.

A shop that need not be equipped
with expensive tools. but will be found
almost Indispensable when installed, is
demand of modern farming. Should
u tractor or other farm machine or
implement need repair. both time and
money can be saved If a repair shop
is on the place.
A forge, anvil, tongs and hammer
will make YIELDS and straighten and
bend rods. Cbisels, wrenches and a
press drill are needed in this shop.
Old files can be made into useful tools.
The farm junk heap can be raided
and will produce wonderful results by
the outfit, and trip to the blacksmith
shop in town and vexatious delays
can be avoided.

Alfalfa Field In Good Condition to Go
Over the Winter.

Over the Winter.
able to Withstand severe winter
weather. This is true of old as well
as of young plants. and in many cases
close cutting has been as responsible
for the mortality of the plants as
Of the strain.
Late Hay Crop Losses.
A common practice of many alfalfa
raisers is to cut off crop of hay
rather late in the fall or else to pas
ture the forage so heavily at this time
that adequate growth will not be avail
able for the protection of the crop
during cold weather. The scant hay
crop which the grower gains by this
practice of late clipping in no respect
repays him for the damage which he
usually does to his stand of alfalfa.
Every farmer should allow his alfalfa
fields to grow at random. unmolested
during the fall, as by this he is pro-
viding the essential warm winter
clothes for the crop. Not only should
he refrain from cutting any hay but
he also should be careful not to Craze
the alfalfa too closely. This applies
particularly to new stands, seeded
the preceding summer. as the fall
growing season is the time when these
new fields establish their root systems
and produce sufficient growth for their
cold-weather protection. This growth,
which ultimately dies and lies like a
blanket over the field through the
winter, will not reduce the quality of
the next cutting of hay. but, on the
contrary, will act as beneficial mulch.
Protecting Animals from Bloat.
It is also essential to protect the
farm live stock against bloat where
they are pastured even lightly during
the fall season on the alfalfa fields.
This is best done by never turning
the live stock on the alfalfa fields Mt
time when the animals are so hum
cry that they will gorge themselves
with this succulent green feed.
Another reason why late fall cut
tings of new alfalfa fields are unde-
sirable comes from the fact that not
only are the hay yields limited in guam
tity, but they also are inferior in quail
ity, being washy and without the bone
building and growth-producing sub
stances which are the valuable ele-
ments in well-matured, full-grown al
falfa.
