Farm Cooperator
Wants Bermuda Sod
For Terrace
Willie Mason a cooperator
with the Soil Conservation Ser-
vice who lives 7 miles east of
Bartlett would like to trade his
concrete structure channels for
a Bermuda grass channel.
The 98 acres of cultivated land
on Mr. Mason's 130 acre farm
is terraced strip-cropped and
contour cultivated with 87 acres
of terraced land draining
through an outlet channel con-
trolled by concrete structures.
Mr. Mason states "If I had the
outlet channel on my farm sod
ded to .Bermuda grass and con
nected to my pasture so I could
graze it I would have my farm
controlled exactly as I think it
should be." Mr. Mason goes on
to say "In a dry summer the
ground cracks ahd pulls away
from imy structures leaving a
small crack around the" wing
walls. I have ttf be very careful
to keep these cracks filled to
prevent washing around on some
of my structures. I notice that
some of my neighbors who "have
sod channels do not have the
maintenance on their channels
which I have on mine and while
they get no little grazing from
tneir cnanneis mine produces
nothing." Since Mr. Mason's
farm was placed under agree
ment it nas oeen iound practical
to control the terrace run-off
water from a field this size with
Bermuda grass sod.
Mr. Mason has cleared mes-
quite brush from1 approximately
20 acres of his 29 acre pasture.
This pasture has been mowed
twice each year for the last two
years and Bermuda and buffalo
grass has made a complete cov-
er. Mr. Mason states that "the
carrying capacity of my pasture
has been tripled as a result of
the clearing and mowincr." It
is his plan to clear the remaining
9 acres of his pasture this win-
ter. He has recently construct-
ed an earthen stock tank and
plans to add sheep in the near
future.
Mr. Mason is one of the 136
farmers in the Bartlett CCC
camp area who have adopted and
put into practice complete co-
ordinated soil conservation prac-
tices on their farms.
