Field Almost Completely E.
rOded Before Practice
Was Begun

j. F. Busic planted a field of
beans and followed with small
grain on his farm at Piney Creek
some ten years ago. In the fall
following, the field was so badly
eroded that Mr.. Busic decided
the field was too far gone to Gull
tiVate in any longer so he left 1t
without any form of cultivation.
In 1912, with the assistance Of
the Soil Conservation Service a
complete acre by acre conserVa-
ton farming plan was developed
on his farm. White pine seedlings
seemed to be the best bet for
reclaiming the field.
Clinton Busic, an older brother
of J. F. Busic, is now operating
the Busic farm and he says, "The
cost of grassing this land would
have been no expense to speak of.
Other good farming practices
have been started on this farm.
The New River Soil Conservation
District assisted in stalking strips
on one field last spring. Mr.. Blu
sic stated that he believed he
