Gross Waterways Prevent Soil Loss
Soil Conservation Activities
By TOM COLE
Soil Conservationist
Farmers and Landowners
in carrying out their
planned soil and water con
servation practices on their
land in cooperation with the
Upper Ocmulgee River Dis
trict are in a RUSH before
Winter arrives.
Bernard Lee, shaped a
grassed waterway in a nat
ural depression of one of his
fields that disposes of run
off water from a 30 acre
watershed. Width of the
waterway was determined by
size needed to carry excess
water during a flood which
could occur during a ten
year period. Side slopes were
shaped on a four to one pat
tern to permit mowing and
crossing with farm equip
ment.
Mr. Lee is subsoiling across
the slope at three to four
foot intervals 22 inches deep.
This is to break the subsoil
or hard-pan whereby water
flowing downslope will ab
sorb into the soil resulting
in less volume of run-off
water.
Fertilizer and agricultural
limestone will be applied in
double amounts as for field
planting. Tall fescue and pe
rennial giant white clover
will be seeedd in double
amounts. Following seeding
the one acre will be mulched
with hay at the rate of one
and one-half tons per acre,
reaving fifty percent of the
ground surface exposed to
sunlight.
Outlet for the waterway is
woodland on a adjoining
property a short distance
from a small stream. This
was agreeable with his

Six acres on each side of
the waterway is prepared for
seeding to tall fescue and pe
rennial giant white clover.
Mr. Lee plans to graze this
area which is fenced from
his other pastures after two
complete growing seasons.
This will permit the plant to
make mature growth result
ing in more grazing per acre.
ASCS News
Clayton farmers are busy
gathering their 1967 crops,
seding winter cover and/or
permanent cover, and re
pairing buildings and fences
in preparation for the
coming winter. Farmers are
urged to report completion
of their Soil and Water Con
serving Practices promptly.
Cotton farmers will be no
tified of their 1968 cotton
allotments in early Novem
ber. A mail referendum will
be held during the period
December 4-8 to determine
if the proposed program will
be in effect. If approved the
required diversion will be 5%
of the effective allotment at
10.76 cents per pound.
Up to an additional 30%
may be delivered at 6 cents
per pound. Rules for meas
uring skip row planting will
be as they were from 1962
through 1965. The loan rate
will remain at 20.25 cents per
pound for middling 1 inch at
average location. The price
support payment will be
12.24 cents per pound. Small
farm provisions remain the
same.
1967 acreage diverted
under the ANNUAL pro
grams may now be grazed
(NOCR or CAP however).
Congress did not appropriate
any funds for a 1968 Crop
land Adjustment Program.
Existing CR and CAP con
tracts will be honored but no
new 5 to 10 year agreements
or contracts will be avail
able.
