broad, shallow sheet at low yeloc-
ity. 1t has been found that average
soils are not washed much In broad
terrace channels where the fall does
not exceed inches In 100 feet and
II is recommended that this fall never
be exceeded. However, even with this
fall some washing occurs and some
rich soil particles are carried on the
field. Hence a graded terrace should
be given no more fall than Is neces-
sary to remove the run-0ff water with
out danger of the terrace being over
topped. The terraces may be laid out
with a uniform or variable fall. The
best results are obtained where the
variable fall Is used, since 1t tends to
prevent the concentration OF the wa
ter at the lower end of the terrace.
Also less washing occurs where the
variable fall Is used.
The provision for suitable outlets
is one Of the biggest problems In ter
racing work. Natural water courses
make the best outlets Sometimes It
is necessary to construct bitches for
use as outlets. Where natural draws.
gullies, or roadside bitches are used
they should be protected from erosion
by building across them brush. con-
crete, stopplank. or soil-saving dams.
The growing Of grass In draws used
for outlets is especially recommended
The work Of laying OF terraces
should be done carefully. preferably
by an experienced man. The best In
struments are the farmers small tele'
scopic level and the engineers large
level. t..-.f s1
The plow and the v drag are most
generally used for building up ter
races. Other Implements somedmet
used are the steel ditcher or terracer
the slip scraper, the disk pillow, and
the road grader. At crossings Of
draws and gullies the slip scraper Il
used to build up the high terrace EN-
bankment. 1t Is very important tina
the top Of the terrace be built to thu
proper grade. The upper terraces O.
n field should always be built first.
Care and Attention.
Terraces require considerable car
and attention. particularly during tn
first year after they are built. The!
should be inspected after every heav'
rain and any breaks or weak place
repaired Immediately. The best n
suits are obtained when the crop row
are run parallel to the terraces.
| In order to maintain the height M
width Of the terrace. . cultivated ter
race should be pl0wed at least ono
each year. and the soil should b
thrown to the center Of the terrace.

Erosion Injuries or practically ruins
fertile land. Bottom as well as hill
lands suffer from the ravages of erO-
sion.
Terracing is the most effective
method Of stopping erosion. Other
means of reducing erosion that should
be employed In connection with ter
racing are deep blowing. growing
cover crops. blowing under organic
matter. contour blowing. and under
draining.
There are two distinct types Of ter
races. the bench terrace and the ridge
terrace. The bench terrace is particu-
larly fitted for use on steep slopes.
while the ridge terrace is especially
adapted for use on moderate slopes.
The ridge terraces are divided into
two classes. the narrow base and the
broad base. Both may be laid out
level or with fall along the terrace
to carry the water of at low velOc-
ity. The brOad-base terrace can he
cultivated and can be crossed readily
by large farm machinery without in
jury to the terrace. The narrOw-base
terrace does not possess either Of
these advantages. and under ordinary
circumstances Is less desirable than
the brOad-base type. However. when
laid out level II Is sometimes cult

Osytermen around Rock Hall and
Rochester, stand to lose large sums
OF money, this season, because of the
closing of the famous Swan Point
bars to their work For years this
famous bar has been one of the most
productive and profitable centers of
trade in oysters and thousands Of
dollars have been made out of its
water. For some years past, how
ever the oysters have been gettinp
less plentiful and inferior in charac-
ter, and when the season opened in
September last, the same condition
confronted the oystermen. The State
Geological Survey was asked to make !
an investigation of conditions on the |
bar, with view to determining the |
cause OF the very poor condition of
the oysters, and found that all the
oysters in the bar are either dead. or
are IN such condition that they will
eventually die. When this condition
was discovered the bar was i'm
nediately ordered closed by the State
authorities, and not an oyster has
'een allowed to be sold or taken from
he bar. Just what is the cause of
his extremely heavy blow to the oys-
ermen, neither the State Geological
survey nor any of the oystermen are
bic to determine. Federal govern
lent agents will be asked to make a
borough investigation of the cause of ,
he condition, and if possible apply I
