upper half of the strip Is scraped I'M
ana dumped on the lower half. BY
this method the terrace is built up
mostly from soil moved down from the
upper side.
| In order to finish up terraces prop-
| erly, some work with the slip scraper
Is generally required. The top of the
/ terrace should be tested with the level
and rod to see that it conforms to the
proper grade. Any low places detect
ed should be filed with shovel or
scraper. All large entertainments across
draws and gullies should be built with
the slip Scraper, and 1t is necessary to
build such embellishments considerably
higher than the rest of the terrace TO
allow for settling of the loose earth.
Most breaks in terrace systems occur
at crossings of gulles or draws and il
Is therefore very important that high,
broad, substantial embankment be
built across these places. In order
to remove any water that collects
above the terrace embankment across
draws or gullies, pole drain can
be laid under the terrace down the
middle of the gully. Such drain is
made by simply laying three poles TO-
gether in the shape of a triangle. II
will serve the purpose until the de-
preston above the terrace Is filled with
silt and drain is no longer required.
Remove All DISTINCTIONS.
Any Instructions, such as rocks,
stones and stumps, that lie along the
line OF the terrace should be removed.
