TERRACE YOUR LAND.

Terracing saves the soil. The loss
through soil washing amounts to many
thousands OF dollars annually in Ten
nessee, large areas being made vd4ue-
less.
Terracing has been practieed in Eu-
rope for the past 500 years. In Japan
nearly all the hillsides are terraced.
They are prosperous people. Ter
racing is practiced in Alabama, Geor-
gia, Texas, Mississippi and the Caro-
linas and to some extent in the rest Of
our bordering states.

Special tables have been worl1ed Out
TO assist the amateur terracer in the
design of his set of terraces with the
view of getting them the correct dis
| tance apart, the proper length, Wldth
and height. Once this information Is
understood the farmer can go right
ahead and do his terracing and save
his land from washing away.
Directions for Terracing.
Terraces should not be over l,OOO
feet in length. 1t is much better where,
ever possible to divide the terrace
running the water, both ways on fields
where you have outlets on either side.
The terrace should have about three
inch fall every thirty feet. A good
way to determine the location of ter
races on the hillside is to walk over
the hill taking notice Of. where the
LAND is beginning to break. These
places are usually about the same dis.
tance from the top Of the hill. This Is
the place for the first terrace, the loca.
ton of the second terrace is at such a
point as there will be little or no wash,
ing between 1t and the terrace above
This distance varies according to ths
slope. LII the slope is very steep up to
% or 80 per cent slope the terraces
should be about so feet apart. On
slopes of ) to 10 per cent the terraces
should be from 70 to 100 feet apart
The length of terrace has nothing to
do with the distance between terraces
After the terraces have been located
the next problem is to make the ditch
large enough above tIIlS terrace bank
to carry all water that will collect in
an hour between it and the terrace
terraces very large ditch at the out.
let. On the shorter terraces prOpOr
tionately smaller outlet. The size of
the terrace ditch to accommodate the
water that will flow in 1t will be much
smaller toward the upper end of the
ditch. The cross section of the ditch
half way up the terrace should be but
little larger than twice the cross sec
tion at the outlet. The terrace bank
should be high enough to carry 49,
inches OF water at the mouth of the
terrace without any danger of the
water breaking over. For terraces 500
feet long the ditch should be about 3
feet wide at the mouth of the terrace
For 1000 feet the terrace should be
twice as large because it has twice
the amount of water to carry
Tables showing the distances that
terraces should be for different per
cent slopes and the size bitches neces-
sary 10 carry the water that accumu
