TERRACE LAND
TO SAVE SOIL
OWENS ADVICE
Counyt Agent Points Out Value
This Practice and Cites
Eastern States.

"An ounce Of prevention is worth
a pound of cure" said J. w. Owens,
county farm agent speaking of the
value Of terracing land. Continuing,
Mr.. Owens said:
IF one would appreciate the value
of terracing land let him make q
trip to the Carolinas, Georgia, Mis-
sissippi, East Texas, Tennessee or
many other Of the more eastern
states. There terracing is looked
upon as a necessity. Here in Okla
homa we have never learned to ap-
preciate the saving of soil or the
saving Of moisture as we will be
forced to appreciate later.
"Terracing will stop the 'gullies
in a field and will prevent others
from starting. 1t is much easier to
terrace a field before being seyerly
washed than after.
"Terracing is as important in
western as Ill eastern OklanOma
The decayed particels Of vegetable
matter float off with every heavy
rain, no matter if the ground is not
sloping enough to wash. Therefore,
we viii not only prevent the wash
ing away Of our good soil, but We
will retain fertility, and besides
store away moisture by building the
ridge terrace in most any upland
field in this part @, the state.
"Ihe value of a rain on a certain
piece Of land should be measured
by the amount that goes into the
ground, rather than by the amount
that falls upon it.
Lets all wake up to the neces-
sity of conserving our soil and our
moisture by terracing the sloping
land"

Your letter of November Goth has

the two million bales OF cotton, !
think this matter is now fully and

that instead Of carrying the cotton
crop over a period OF II months which
would be in line With the suggestions
OF friends Of ours in various lines Of
the cotton industry, on account OF
the small cotton crops we decide to
set aside two million bales to be car
ried until next summer.

no longer enrich the speculator and
manipulation upon his advcrsitics, at
least when it contributes not one iota
to the benefit Of the consumer Of cot
ton goods.

culture large percentage Of this cot
ton is rushed upon the market during

the channels Of trade and beats down
