Following a thorough investiga-
tion of terraces in the San Angelo
flood TeiilHl, much of that territory
having been visited recently by
some 141 Coleman’county farmers,
a toi amn county vocational agri-
culture teacher Cam?.home with a
long list of suggestions and recom-
mendations.
Keeping in mind that the first
day.- rainfall in the Angelo area
gffflfFT-lgl-ypar record' and that the
terraces withstood that test; and
that rebuilding terraces over 7,000
acres can be done in the area for
about S2.000 which is less than any
two miles of read can be built—the
vocational agriculture teacher makes
the following statement:
■'C'ui' itisiui'.s that I have' drawn
from tU- survey of this watershed
and im-nirtiend for consideration bv
Coleman County farmers when they
do this type of work, especially
those kutared on the Valera soil
type. This begin .- oil with 18 inches
to 24 inches of tup soil underlaid
by gravel, rock, caliche and sub-
soils. My reasons for making recom-
mfudaliotu as to the Valera soils!

with this mil type. Therefore, one

muda, buffalo, black medic, rescue.

I “it. That terrace fills be checked
I after completion of terraces. That,
! is, each terrace top be checked after
jibe fills have been made.. This Is
I the most glaring error that has be<m
made m Coleman county. ,

“24. That ants be eradicated,

"26. That mesquite trees lie killed.
“27. That the writer realizes that
these recommendations could not be
|X)ssibly adopted and put in use bv
any one farmer in one year. But
should be adopted as a lorl^ time,
possibly a life plan, to imiirove a
farm. That a majority of these
practices could be constructed in
ten to fifteen years on the average
farm in Coleman county. That, if
you check mrst farms where a far-
mer made an attempt to do more
work than possible in one year he
it; nally made a mess of things. That
these practices -ar? a general line
of work adopted by the vocational
agriculture advisers to instruct thetr
FFA boys in during their study of
vocational agriculture. That the
farmers and dads of these boys
consult their vocational agriculture
instructors and county agent for
means to do each job.
