If you want to stop erosion put
your land into grass, advises V. B.
Hardcastle, Administrative Officer
of the Wheeler County Agricultural
Conservation Association. But, he
adds, “Naturally, it wouldn't be
practical to have all the land on all
farms in grass. Other crops be-
sides livestock and livestock pro-
ducts are needed in great abun-
dance.”
He • explains that the point he
wants tb make is that grasses and
legumes do hold the soil and are
among the most effective means of
checking soil erosion. A good stand
of grass and clover forms a pro-
tective cover for the soil which
prevents the cutting effects of heavy
rains. The mass of roots hold the
soil together and they also provide
“channels” into the soil for the
moisture which falls. Because grass
is so effective in conserving soil
directly and indirectly and so im-
portant in the production of live-
stock and livestock products, Hard-
castle advises that pasture improve-
ment practices again will be em-
phasized in the 1948 Agricultural
Conservation Program.
He also points out that the great-
est value in the application of lime
and j phosphate as conservation
practices is not in the immediate
restoration of lost fertility but in
the growth of grass and legumes
which is promoted by these ma-
terials. Grass and legumes hold
the soil and keep up its fertility.
In addition to the application of
lime and .phosphate, the 1948 Ag-
ricultural Conservation Program
offers assistance to farmers for
seeding adapted legumes and grass-
es, id provide better pasture man-
agement.
Farmers of Wheeler County in-
terested in improving their pastures
are requested to talk their problems
over with the County Agricultural
Conservation Committee.
