ENGINET ADVISES FARMERS

90 Per Cent of
Soil Erosion
“If we could prevent storms,
we’d have erosion just- about
licked.
“An average of four severe
storms a year cause about 90
percent of our total erosion," A.
P. Barnett, assonatc llur
engineer with the U.S ’
ment of Agriculture H Ue

Build-up Os organic matter in
jhfi soil from the oats and lespe-
deza which not only binds soil
particles together, but prevents
packing and crusting, thereby
allowing surface water better
entry into the soil, accounts for
the difference, according to Bar
nett.
Importance of summer cover
in rotation with cotton is in
creased by the fact that more
erosion (52 percent) occurs dur
ing Ju n' July and August than
d'l. ’' 1 - the other nine months of
the "ir, the amd'dlural en

w ! ' h which are often erronc
o’i:;ly ihoughl of as being plant
ed for erosion c nfrol during the
winter, Barnett declared.
“On plots with a 11 percent
. lope, the three-year rotation of
oats and lespedeza, volunteer
lespedeza, and cotton did not
give adequate protection, he ex
plained, “but kudzu and sericea
es v gave excellent runoff
and erosion control on steep
slopes, even when turned under
occasionally for row crops.”
He added that the need for
crop rotation to control erosion
on ew n slightly sloping land
was also shown in these tests.
Continuous cotton land with only
a three percent slope had an
average loss of about 4.5 tons of
soil per acre each year, while
cotton with vetch planted after
corn and crotalaria reduced this
to 2.8 tons.
