Erosion Injuries or practically ruin.
fertile land. Bottom as we'll as hill
lands suffer from the ravages of ero
sion.
Terraclng 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 off at low veloc-
ity. The brOad-base terrace can be
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.
The broad-base 1evel-ridge terrace
Is laid out absolutely level. This
more nearly meets the requirements
Of an ideal terrace than any other
type. It's distinct advantage over a
terrace with fall is that practically
none of the fertile parts of the soil
are removed from the field. 1t is par
ticularly suitable for use on open,
permeable soils
The broad-base,' graded-ridge ter
race, generally known rs the Mangum
terrace, possesses all the advantages
Of the brOad-base level-ridge terrace
with the exception of the one stated
in the preceding paragraph. 1t may
be used on any type Of soil, but is rec
commended for use only on soils where
the broad-base, level-ridge terrace
without tile drainage cannot be used
successfully. Erosion is reduced to q
minimum In the terrace channel by
carrying the water off the field in q
broad, shallow sheet at a low velOc-
ity. 1t has been found that average
soils are not washed much in broad
terrace channels where the fall does

COMFORT OF CHICKEN FLOCK
When Confined on Account of Bad
Weather Provide Straw Litter
for Scratching

prepared by the United States Depart,
ment of Agriculture)
If the chickens must be confined on
account of bad weather provide G good
straw litter in which their grain feed
may be scattered. This will give them
exercise and keep them interested and
healthy. When chickens that have
been accustomed to free range are
closely confined this frequently checks
their development for the time being
unless they are made contented In
their new quarters. Provide green
feed for them also.

| not exceed 6 inches in 100 feet and
1t is recommended that this fall never
be exceeded. However, even with this
fall some washing occurs and some
rich soil particles are carried off the
field. Hence a graded terrace should
sary to remove the run-off water with
out danger of the terrace being over
topped. The terraces may be laid out
with q 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 1t
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, stop-plank, or soil-saving dams.
The growing of grass in draws used
for outlets is especially recommended.
The work of laying off 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.
The plow and the V drag are most
generally used for building up ter
races. Other implements sometimes
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 is
used to build up the high terrace en-
bankment. 1t is very important that
the top Of the terrace be built to the
proper grade. The upper terraces OF
a field should always be built first.
Terraces require considerable care
and attention, particularly during the
first year after they are built. They
should be inspected after every heavy
rain and any breaks or weak places
repaired Immediately. The best re-
suits are obtained when the crop rows
are run parallel to the terraces.
In order to maintain the height and
width of the terrace, cultivated ter
race should be plowed at least once
each year, and the soil should be
thrown to the center of the terrace.
