FARM TERRACE
WORK SPEEDS
A. and NJ. Engineer Tells
Convention Work To Be
Finished in 20 Years

DALLAS. June 25-P-Nearly
100000 acres Of land in Texas al
ready have been terraced and If
that work continues on the normal
increase it should be finished in 20
years. N. r. Bentley. extension agri-
cultural engineer Of Texas A. and
NJ. said in an address prepared for
delivery here today before the
American Society Of Agricultural
Engineers.
There are still some 100000
acres Of land in cultivation which
should be terraced at once" IN.
Bentley said. The terracing Of
considerable acreage has been 60
ing on for about Is years. and II 1t
continues with the normal increase
IN acres terraced per year we will
be through in 20 years. We hope
to complete the Job in 10 years.
Mr.. Bentley emphasized the i'm
portance Of pioneer work by farm
ers, streSSlng the fact that If the
first terraced farm in a commun-
ity follows best accepted plans. 9TH
er farmers, copying. also will model
their work on the ideal lines. He
suggested that rows should follow
terrace ridges.
Cooperation from county officers
as well as business firms has con-
tributed largely TO the spread Of
terracing in Texas. Mr.. Bentley de-
clared. Many chambers Of COM
merce in small towns have bought
as many as four levels for use in
terracing. lending them TO farmers.
Road graders. during times of idle
ness, have been borrowed Or rented
from the counties, the farmer pay
ing only the actual operating cost.
When road outfits are used at
cost for building terraces. the X
pense to the land owner on the big
sandy loan farms OF west Texas IS
as low as 60 cents per acre. or $40
per mile; on the black clay lands
of central Texas as low as S1.50
per acre. or about $50 per mile
Mr.. Bentley said.
Those who ere promoting ter
racing should be inspired by the
thought that no matter whaG agri-
cultural changes may come about
this work is fundamental and
sound. and will never appear as
wasted effort.

What? No fishing worms in the
Valley? PrepoSterous! This VAL
ley raises everything - including

gler. declared this morning.
His statement was backed up by
Doc Jones. John Hunter. John
Armstrong and several o1ner men,
bers Of the law and order.
Those fellows up at San Banfto
are casting a slur on the Valley
when they say there are no fishing
worms here. When there are no
worms, there is a reason. The rea-
son is lack OF plant food in the
ground. Those San Benito fellows
are in effect declaring that the VAL
lev soil is poor. I refer them 10 any
land company TO set them Alright
