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. :

' Clarke Joins Federal Move
l'ln Georgia Against Con

[‘ A campaign to eradicate con.a
gious abortion among cattle in
Clarke county has begun, it was
‘;nmnunm'd today by 1. Harold
i B Hodgson, city and county
l heaith inspector.
| The move here is a rart of «
IM;Nv-\Hdv campaign against this
| disease which is the cause of great
Im'nnomi(' loss, Dr. Hodgson stat
ed. While the disease itself does
not barm the meat or the milk, he
‘m wmued, it prevents the breed
ing of the.cow:.
l Farmers in Clarke county are
urged to come to the city health
offices, where they may make ap
plication for the testing of their
cattle. Dr. Hodgson will sénd the
application to Dr. A. L.. Hirleman,
Atlanta, federal man in chargg of
the campaigh, and two tests will
be made, 90 days apart.
I All cows showing positive re
‘sul(s must be destroyved within 30
days, and the government will al
low S2O a head for each grade
|cmv and as much as SSO per head
| for registered cattle. The owner
i will keep any money secured from
lthe sale of the beef.
! Once the herds have been clean
‘od. Dr. Hodgson pointed out, it
.\vill be possible for the individual
owner to keep it that way through
‘tho employment of local veterina
rians.
‘ Individual cow owners wha wish
to have their animal tested should
‘group it with larger herds, or join
hands so that the tester will have
more than one or two to test at
one time, it was stated.
