Tableland Farming
A column devoted to agriculture
in Garrett County
By John H. Carter
County Agent
William w. Mace
Soil ConServationist

We have just come thru several
seasons of sub-nOrmal rainfall.
What the summer rainfall will be
this summer is anyone's guess, but
we do seem to be having more hard
rains than during the past couple
of years. You can travel along the
roads and see more evidence of soil
washing than you have noticed for
quite while. So, if you are farm
er, it might be a good time to have
close look at your cultivated
fields, and even oats fields, to see
if they are losing any soil. And if
there is anything you can do about
it.
Two things have to happen when
soil washes. First, the particles
must be detached, and then they
are transported. Most of the ener-
gy that loosens the soil particles
comes from the splashing effect of
the raindrops. Water just flowing
over bare soil will move some of it,
but it is those raindrops, smack
ing hard on the unprotected soil
surface, that really knock the
PARTICLES loose and churn the sur
face into a fluid mud. The same
action tends to seal up the soil
pores and openings, so that afte,
the first few minutes Of a dlshin2
rain the rate Of absorption is
slowed considerably. Then when the

songs, to be used at all sing
ing gatherings. "Sloga" is the
first local glee club to plan
such a community sing
