Method Of Carrying Terrace Water Tn.

eliminate the steep. uncukivated
strips that interfere with farming op-
erations and often are seed beds for
weeds.
The bench terrace II usually built
with the reversible hillside pillow BY
which the soil Ii always thrown down
the hill. This Is done for number
Of years until the bench becomes level
or the slope of the bench In slightly
reversed. A ridge Of earth II kept at
the outer edge Of the bench to prevent
the surface water from running from
one bench to the next bench below.
Bench terraces should be level; that
IL, they should have no fall along the
direction Of their length. Before the
bench between the terrace embank-
ments Is made level by blowing the
soil down the slope the surface va
ter In held above the shoulder ut
the outer side of the bench. Part Of
the water may move OF slowly TO the
ends Of the terrace and the rest will
either sink into the soil or evaporate.
A heavy sod should be kept on the
shoulder and embankment to prevent
erosion should the shoulder be over.
topped due to heavy rain.
When a bench terrace IL 6rst start.
ed, the shoulder should be built shout
one foot high and three feet wide at
the base. These dimensions can be re-
duced some a. the leveling down Of the
bench proceeds. When the bench has
become level 1t II only necessary to
maintain q small shoulder about one
half foot high Mt the outer side Of the
bench. This will prevent possible
damage to the terrace due to an exces.
sively heavy rain.
The distance between the terraces II
governed by the vertical distance or
drop and not by the distance along the
surface Of the ground. The distance
along the surface Of the ground win
be different for different slopes Of the
land where the same vertical distance
between the terraces II used.
The proper drop or vertical distance
between bench terraces depends large
" on how much care and attention Ia
given to the terraces. the greater the
drop the more care required. The
greater the drop the higher will be the
embankment. and II II much more difii-
cult to maintain q high than low en-
baHsRment The best practice indi-
Gates that the drop between bench ter
races should never be less than three
feet nor more than six feet, although
drop Of eight feet has been used
successfully on steep slopes where the
terraces are carefully maintained.
