Agricultural workers in the wind erosion area of the Southern Great Plains point out that now is the opportune tins to start the fight
against dust stones of next year. This spring there are many thousand acres of barren land subject to beth wind and water erosion like the
field at the upper left. Contour tillage, strengthened by
hold practically all available moisture during spring and i
terraces where necessary, (upper right) will place the land in condition to catch and
summer. These contour rows and terraces hold the water evenly over the field (center),
with the result that a uniform an^ usually more profitable crop results (lower left). Stubble left on the land when the crop is harvested and
E^|| protected from overgrazing (lower right) provides a safeguard against soil blowing during the winter and spring. The county agricnl-
ageSt will furnish additional information a boot: wind erosion control practices which may be seen in actual use la Soil Conservation
* demonstration areas snd soil conservation districts, and for which AA^ benefit payments may be received. ~ "
