 Slander and calumny are charged against T. B. Lacey by ". A. Harris in a $1o,000 damage suit filed Thurs day by clerk of the civil division of the circuit court.

From the County Agent
Soil Erosion

Soil erosion is serious problem in
the hill sections of Randolph county.
Farms that were once fertile and pro-
ductive have been neglected until now
the soil has all been washed off by
the heavy rains These soils will not
produce year after year without any
care and with nothing given back to
replace the materials lost from ero-
sion.
Streams, running red after heavy
rains, tell the story of gutted hillsides
that have given up their productive
ness to unchecked waters. This CON
dition must be stopped by proper care
and management
There is no better pasture or grass
land anywhere than in the hill sections
of Randolph county These lands
should be set in grass that will hold
the soil and stop erosion and not be
planted to cultivated crops.
Last year 1,243 farms in Arkansas
were terraced. These farms included
32.j acres. The value of terracing
is the difference between barrenness
and productivity. The real value Of
terracing can only be estimated. but
farmers who have terraced their hill
lands place the value at from 50 to
$50 per acre. Placing the value Of
terracing at the low figure of so an
acre, the value of this work in Arlan-
sas last year amounted to over S325,-
900.
Can you afford to allow your fertile
soils to he carried off by the heavy
rains when the cost of terracing or
sowing of grass is so cheap and the
value of terracing, estimated by pro-
duction. is so high? The farmer who
is going to succeed cannot.
If the hillside farm must be planted
to cultivated crop such as corn or
cotton it is much better to run the rows
across the slope rather than up and
down the hill. This will not only
check the washing but will be found
of great Importance if the hill is to be
planted year after year to cultivated
crops.
The process of terracing is very
simple one and with a little assistance
any farmer should be able to terrace
his own farm. The actual cost Of
terracing is practically nothing com
pared to the value in increased pro-
duction and soil preservation. After
the land has been terraced long enough
to allow terraces to become settled,
usually after one year, the soil can
be cultivated right over the terrace
without loss in space.
Terrace the hillsides or set them to
some pasture grass to hold the soil.
