Reed Form ExumpIe
Of Proper Soil Use

The thirty-seven acre block of
young pine. trees on the Cyrus B.
Reed farm on Highway IL be-
tween Lexington and Durant, Of
fers good example OF how trees
help in reducing soil and water
loss. In 1850 when the Soil Con-
servation Service helped the
farmer prepare a land use plan
for the place, it was decided that
all Of the steep, eroded land
should be in woodland. As as re-
suit, the Soil Conservation Dis
trict, in cooperation with the
PIMA and the farmer, inter-plant-
ed the native shortleaf pine trees
with 25,500 loblolly pine seed
lings. Most Of these young pines
lived and have grown to Q
height Of about five feet. Since
then both soil and water loss have
been greatly reduced on this land.
1t would be worthwhile, when
driving from Lexington to Dur
ant, to stop just beyond Mr.,
Reeds chicken farm and see this
young forest at work rebuilding
lost soil. 1t is beautiful and should
bring cash return to the farm
err in later years.
