On the ‘
R. L. Jackson Builds
Wide Base Terraces
T. W. COLE
Soil Conservationist
Wide base terraces were built
in a 125 acre field on the farm of
R. L. Jackson located near Jones
boro during May and June. In
carrying out the soil conservation
plan for his farm in cooperation
with the Upper Ocmulgee River
District, a total of 21 acres locat-!
ed in six natural depressions of’
this field were seeded to Sericeal
Lespedeza in the spring of 1947.
Prior to seeding Sericea these ar
eas were shaped with a bulldozier
and crawler type tractor to blend
out irregularities thereby increas
ing water carrying capacity. Low
places were fille, trees, bushes and
other obstructions were also re
moved, fertilizer applied and the
area smoothed with a disk har
row prior to planting. A good
stand of Sericea is now establish
ed in the vegetative water dis
posals, carrying surplus run—off;
water from terrace outlets with
a minimum of erosion damage. |
This spring old bench type ter-;
races were pushed down, irrepu
lar corners of trees projecting in-{
to the field were removed. The
surface of the land was smoothed;
with a bush and bog harrow and
36,675 feet of terrace lines sur-i
veyed according to specifications
with proper spacing between ter-i
races being governed by the aver
age slope of the land. Fall along
terrace lines Were: dncreased in
proportion to their length.
Mr. Jackson is building wide
base terraces with a crawler type
tractor and a reversible blade
road scrape and ditcher, using the
bulldozier blade to build up low
places in the terrace ridges and
to open outlets.
On two upland areas of this field
a total of 20 acres of Sericea was
seeded in the spring of 1946. The
Sericea is making good progress
in building top soil and holding
erosion losses to a minimum, in
addition to producing one cutting
of hay and a harvest of seed each
year.
A soil building rotation is plan
ned for this field of corn, small
grain, Lespedeza, crimson clover
and soybeans.

FATHER’S DAY
A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.”
Proverbs 22:1.
“YOUR NAME”
You got it from your Father,
"Twas the best he had to give
And right gladly he bestowed it,
It’s yours the while you live.
You may lose the watch he gave you,
Another you may claim
But remember, when you're tempted,
Be careful of his name.
It was fair the day you got it,
A worthy name to wear
When he took it from his Father
There was no dishonor there. .
Through the years he proudly wore it, .‘
To his Father he was true,
And that name was dear, and spotless
When he passed it on to you.
Ah, there’s much that he has given
That he values not at all,
He has watched you break your play things
In the days when you were small.
And you've lost the knife he gave you,
And you've scattered many a game,
But you’ll never hurt your Father,
If you’re careful of his name.
It is yours to wear for ever,
Yours to wear the while you live.
Yours, perhaps some distant morning,
To another Boy to give.
And you’ll smile, as did your Father,
Smile above the baby there.
If a dear name, and a ‘good name
You are giving Him to wear.
