Check Your Terraces
Technicians of the Soil Conserva
tion Service urge farmers in Wilkin
son to make a careful check of dam
age to terraces and ditches by recent
heavy rains.
If silt or other material has accum
ulated in the terrace channel, they
advise plowing out the channel to
permit the free flow of excess water
from rains that may fall later.
When a channel becomes clogged
with silt and debris and forces the
water over the terrace, it may result
in a break.
One break may result in a breakdown
of the entire terrace system and per
mit water to rush nown across a field
and carry away considerable soil.
Techicians recommend that breaks
be repaired immediately, for then it
can be made more economically and
satisfactorily and will usually prevent
severe erosions later or.

Several former Irwinton homefolks
revisiting after some years absence
complain that the dozens of perky
new residences and filling stations and
worst of all. pavement everywhere
have done away with the drowsy lit
tle town they loved and had hoped to
see again,
Almost every day somebody asks
H. B- Adkins about people who lived
in the Irwinton neighborhood back
in mostly forgotten times and usually
he is ready on the instant with this
information. He remembers all of
those he knew, and beyend his date
can repeat reliable hearsay. Some
of those who come to him only want
to find out about an oldtime citizen
whose name came up in Street or
courthouse conversation, but many
have business reasons for asking.
At last there is a leather cushioned
lounge in the courthouse main hall
where the town's most enchanting
breezes blow. This is a happy tri
umph for years of wishing and hint
ing.
So I’m pretty hot. and go across
from the bank at Toomsboro to stand
beneath the shade of Tom atscn,
liveoak, near the eld artesian well.
The cement curb of the abandoned
well still shows above the sand and I
wanted to dig out th® earth and go
down the ®tap to drink from the pipe.
And why don’t you come back to
Toomsboro and print the paper, save
Mr Ashley, sitting in the shade: and
that would be fine if I could come
back to that time of life and bo with
the friends who are now scattered
around the world.
Tuckered Out?
— This “gonest” of feelings gets
us down often during summer,
but a little extra coffee lifts the
gloomy pressure. Hot for break
fast, iced at noon and evening.
