Loss Of Top Soil
Reduces Farm Income

The loss of every inch of top soil
from farm land in Garrett County
means reduction of up to 10 per
cent in annual income in addition
to the dissipation of the capital as
set represented by the soil, accord
ing to the Committee for Conser-
walton Now.
This conclusion is based on an
analysis of field tests at agricul-
tural stations in which crops We're
grown on varying depths of the
same types of soil and with the
same tillage practices.
In one representative test, corn
yields ranged from 60 bushels per
acre on 10 inches of top soil down
to 25 bushels on two inches, or a
difference of four bushels for each
inch. With corn yields averaging
slightly over 40 bushels per acre
in Maryland, such a yield loss
, would amount to nearly 10 per cent
per inch of top soil.
The annual cash loss per inch of
top soil is about SIS out of around
$64 value for an acre of corn,
based on the current corn price
The cash difference from corn
raised on two and ten inches of top
soil would be over $50 per acre.
In other tests, oats yields varied
at the rate of nearly four bushels
per acre for each inch of top soil,
and wheat yields varied at the rate
of more than two bushels per acre
for each inch of top soil. Barley,
rye, soybeans, alfalfa, potato and
asparagus yields varied in about
the same proportions.
Erosion impairs the productive
capacity of the soil by removing
organic matter, nitrogen and clay
and silt elements, the Committee
explained. Water and wind sep
arate the. lighter materials from
the coarser and heavier particles
and carry them off, leaving less
productive material behind. If ero-
sion is severe, the body of the soil
itself is carried off. Loss of top
soil also reduces the moisture re-
tention capacity of the crop root
zone.
Top soil losses have been offset
to some extent by increased use of
fertilizer, better seeds, crop rota-

tiOns and better farm management,
the Committee said. But soils ex-
perts estimate average crop yields
would be up to so per cent higher
today if soil losses had been pre-
vented in the past so years.
The loss of productive capacity
of the soil varies by farms and by
areas, depending upon the degree
of land slopes and past farming
practices. Losses often are drama
tized by gullies, but even more
frequently are not noticeable
from one year to another.
The Committee pointed out that
soil conservation practices, such
as strip cropping, contours, ter
races and erased waterways, are
the principal means of counteract-
ing top soil loss on sloping land.
Practices such as adding organic
matter and applying lime and fer
