Livestock
Water Ponds

MIR. Lynn Jordan. Chairman of
me HOMES ASC County Commit
zee, states that one OF the most
eopular and effective conservation
practices under the Agricultural
conservation Program is the con-
slruction OF livestock water ponds.
Onder the ACP cost-share plan,
where the Government shares with
ne farmer the cost of building a
Jond, 10000 ponds have been con-
5tucted in Mississippi since 1910.
The purpose of the Government
offering to share the cost with the
iarmer of constructing these ponds
Is to retard erosion In the particu-
.ar draw in which the dam is con-
stucted, and also to permit a more
even distribution of grazing over
he pasture land. thereby retain
ing a satisfactory cover of grass
and legumes on the land. 1t has
been found that where there Is not
an adequate supply of water avail
able, cattle will overgraze the area
adjacent to the water. This in
some cases results in severe ero-
sion ofthe land that is overgrazed.
The building of additional water
facilities. such as livestock water
ponds, has helped prevent over
grazing.
Those farmers who have a need
Tor livestock water ponds should
contact the ASC county committee
at Lexington. Mississippi, and file
their request as early as possible.
It would be desirable to complete
the stalking out and locating of a
suitable site prior to July, August,
and September, since t h e s e
months are most suitable for con-
structing ponds.
