Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO Rast Addvesses Terracing Supervisors This Morning “As the Land Is, So Are| The People,”” Erosion Director Says Loy E. Rast, Soil Erosion sl’rv-] jce regional director in charge of ] the Sandy Creek project, empha-—’ sized that “We cannot get away from the old saying: ‘As the land is, so are the people/’" speaking | at the University College of Ag- | riculture this morning. ! That is why, he told 25 terracing | supervisors furnished by t hel GERA to aid county soil cmm'nll programs, a program to conserve and build the fertility of soils is so | important. He added that “Thni wealth, health and happiness oil our people are dependent on the | fertility of the land.” | The problem must be attacked | from many angles, he declared, ex- i plaining: “We know that erosion | can be controlled if our lands are | planted to trees. It is useless, | however, for the forester to r‘on-i tend that it is his problem alone ; for some of our land must bel left for cultivation.” i “On the cultivated areas,” he said, “hydraulics must be given consideration. Therefore, we need services of the engineer . . . since terraces are Mecessary.” “He pointed out also “that ter races alone will not prevent soil erosion.” Thick-growing crops come in too. “Soils even on steep slopes can be held in place by close ‘growing crops without terraces, and as evidence of this fact, large fields handled in this manner can be seen on the farm of the Col lege of Agriculture.” ~Mr. Rast added, however: “Here again, as in the case of the forests, farmers cannot plant all of their fields to thick-growing crop,. It is, therefore, mpdvisable to| work out a combination of terrac _ing, close-growing crops and row| erops, such as cotton or corn, in order that the farmer may have( some| cash revenue. Strip crop ping is an excellent method of | erosion control. 1t permits the planting of certain percentages of | each field every year both above ‘and below teraces in close-growing crops.” | The speaker explained that ro tations are established. The close growing crops hold the soil in place, “When such strips are planted tg, legumes,” he continued, “they also have the additional advantage of improving the land.” He said that “Sowing these legumes is “much less expensive than commer “cial fertilizer.” “If immediate steps are taken to control soil erosion by these meéeth ~ods, within a few years we will _have fertile lands, our farmers will &;’»-&vmmrous. and be able to do less work, make a better living and __at the same time to enjoy some of _.the luxuries to which they are en - titled. : Y 1} h 1 e Women's Committee to| Be Formed; Luncheonl Meeting Monday Formation of groups to sell tickets to the Roosevelt Birthday ball here is underway, Mrs. a mar Rucker, general sales chair man, announced Tuesday night. l As soon as the tickets are print- | ed and available, which will be' next week, meetings will be held | and they will be distzibuted.
