Soil Conservation
Houston P
County
BY JACK MILLER
Soil Conservationist
What didn’t wash away Friday,
March 31, tried to blow away last
week. Clean, prepared fields were
blowing so bad that it was diffi
cult to see how to drive along
many of our roads. And it was
tough working out in it.. we got a
real good taste of what (he folks
in Kansas suffer.
Only the well prepared fields
were blowing. Land in cover . . . j
trees, grass, small grain, winter
cover, winter grazing, and rough
plowed land with crop residues, or
stubble mixed into the topsoil,
didn’t blow. Neither did (hey wash
enough to speak of, during the
torrential rains of March 31 and
April 9. Cover and crop residues
absorbed the impact of (he rains
and held the soil in place.
Not so on our bare fields. The
pounding rain blasted (he soil par
ticles loose, sealed (he surface, and
went rushing out of our unprotect
ed fields carrying the soil with it.
The rampaging waters ripped huge
washes and gullies in the hillsides
and flooded the lowlands with silt
and sand. We lost in both instances
.... we lost our soil from our
sloping land and we had our good
lowland sanded over with silt and
sand.
Many of our District cooperators
didn’t fare so badly, even on their
well prepared cropland. They were
prepared for the storm. Their
fields were protected with good
terraces, properly maintained,
which broke the long slopes into
short slopes, checking the runoff
of the rainfall, and directing it
around the slopes and out of (he
field at a walk, instead of a gallop,
as happened on unterraced land.
Some of our terraces failed due
to our neglecting to keep them 1
maintained properly, including
keeping the outlets opened up. In
fact, most of our terracing trou
bles can be traced to improper!
maintenance of outlets.
As we look at our land after |
last week’s storms, we can readily
see the terrible price we pay for
uncontrolled erosion, either by wa-| (
tr of by wind .... we can also j
see the effectiveness and happy I
results of protecting our land with
good conservation measures.
