Some of our very gently elop-
ing lands are generally consid-
ered to be reasonably free of any
serious degree of 'soil erosion.
In 1934 however where cotton
and corn rows were up and down
two percent slopes soil losses
(dry weight) ranged from over
12000 pounds (6.17 tons) per
acre to nearly 25000 pounds
(12.42 tons) per acre. Land of
this tvne is often referred to as
"level" land but it is evident
that protection against soil eros-
ion is needed.
If the average amount of soil
lost each year by erosion from
an average 120 acre farm were
deposited at the boundary of
the farm the replacement ot tne

There are approximately 20
G.C.C. camns serving the Black-

in the northern part of the state

These champs were orgamed

The government realizing the
" need of slaving the natural Ire-
sources of the nation and giving
employment to these young
men organized these C.C.C.
n camps and placed them in the
various counties over the coun-
o try.
It is due to the foresight and
co-operation of the citizens of
the surrounding community that
the Civilian Conservation Corps
camp was located at Bartlett
n and the personnel of the camp
knows that because of this ex
cellent spirit much valuable and
needed work will be accomplish-
ed. ' Erosion Facts of Interest.
Rainwater running wild has
destroyed the equivalent of
140000 farms of 250 acres
each.
125.000.000 acres of land now
n cultivation has lost all or the
eater part of Aits top soil.
Every year 3 billion tons oi
il material are washed out of
the fields and pastures of the
nation.
Enough soil washes out of the
mouth of the Mississippi River
every year to build 1250 farms
of 160 acres each all having a
depth twice that of the average
upland soil of America.
A freight train reaching
thirtv-seven times around the
- nivnivm-fuv&nna vf f.VltA pnVOl
would be required to transport
all of the soil that is washed
from the American continent
every year.
In the United States alone the
total yearly damage of soil eros-
r ion measured in terms of mon
ey is estimated at $400000000.

ceeding generations.
The tenant farmer's stake in
soil conservation is almost as

The moving of 3000 tons of

Working 3750 hours or 469
eight hour days.
In other words more soil
washes off this average farm
and will continue to wash until
there is no more soil than one
man can possibly replace by
working all available hours with
the equipment at his command
What the ECW Agrees To Do.
1. iMake sketch-map of farm.
2. Plan with the farmer the
terorganization of the farm and
the cropping system to include
the following:
a. Crop rotation.
b. Areas to be terraced.
c. Areas to De strip-croppea.
d. Areas to be contour-tilled.
e. Areas to be contour-fur-
rawed.
f. Areas to be removed from
cultivation if any.
g. Treatment of old and new
pastures.
h. Control of gullies.
3. Make necessary surveys for
erosion control measures as
mentioned above in No. 2.
4. Make plane table map to
obtain areas and show erosion
control systems.
5. Furnish labor to nronerly
protect outlet ditches and fur-
nish the necessary materials
that are not available on the
farm.
6. Construct all check dams
spillways baffles overfalls etc.
furnishing without cost to the
farmer all materials not avail-
able on oaoperator's property
for use in such construction.
7. Give cooperator map of
farm showing work plans in ac-
cordance with the details of the
cooperative agreement.
8. Furnish labor where neces-
sary for the sodding of past-
ures on land taken out of culti-
vation and for the improvement
of old pastures.
9. Control gullies as conditions
may require.
10. Clear such drainage-ways
as may be deemed feasible.
11. Clear away brush that
would otherwise hinder the eros-
ion. 12. W.hen deemed advisable
labor may be furnished for con-
structing stock tanks provided
there is sufficient additional
work clos at han'd to utilize an
entire squad of men. All teams
and equipment except hand-
tools will be furnished by the
cooperator.
What the Cooperator Agrees To:
1. Actively and wholehearted-
ly assist in conducting the work
of erosion control and reorgan-
ized land use on the land he
owns or work as follows :
a. Remove all submarginal
land from cultivation and all
land above 10 per cent slop3.
b. follow a system of cropping
to include crop ro'atior strip
cropping and winter cover
crops as agreed upon.
c. Make a farm inventory the
' 2. Provide without cost Ber-
muda sod rock timber sand or
gravel that is available on his
farm for use on his own farm.
Furnish such teams equipment
and labor as ho has for free use
while work is being1 done by the
E.C.W. on is farm.
3. Plow out terrace lines
strip-cropping lines and pasture
contour lines as soon as they are
run by the surveying crews.
4. Provide the labor and pow-
er and construct the terraces
and make the fills where terrac
es are used. Such terraces and
fills must meet the requirements
established by the E.C.W.
6. Provido the labor and pow-
er and construct terrace outlet
ditches where necessary accord-
ing to E.C.W. specifications.
6. In cases where a terrace
outlet is to be controlled by veg-
etation fifty feet of the outlet
end of the terrace must be con
structed before the vegetation is
planted. The remainder of the
terrace must not be built and
its water turned into the outlet
until the vegetation has become
sufficiently established to give
ithe desired protection. Where an
outlet ditch is to be protected
by vegetation all terraces emp-
tying onto this vegetation must
be constructed in the same man-
ner as above.
7. Use only contour tillage on
cultivated crop lands using
E.C.W. system of laying off
rows.
8. Maintain all work done by
the EjC.W. and by himself under
the terms of the agreement and
otherwise carefully follow the
provisions of the agreement for
the five-year period.
9. Check all work after every
rain and make necessary repairs
immediately.
10 Control veeds in pasture
preferably by moving.
11. Permit no over-grazing of
pasture land.
12. Furnish teams equipment
and whatever labor is available
to furrow and sod the furrows
in pasture land as directed.
Plant seed for pastures accord-
ing to directions.
13. Protect woods meadows
pastures and abandoned lands
from fires and over-grazing.
Provide posts wire and labor
'and construct adequate fences
for protecting gully plantings
pastures' cultivated areas and
vegetated outlets and outlet
ditches where necessary.
14. Build and relocate fences
as agreed upon as soon as con-
tract is approved.
15. Keep all livestock out of
cultivated areas when strips or
cover crops might be damaged
by grazing. Limit grazing in
sodded terrace outlet channels.
16. Spend as much time as possi-
ble with the E.C.W. supervisors
at work on the farm in order to
become thoroughly familiar
with all phases of the work.
17. Permit r.o wagons imple-
ments or livestock of any kind
to use terrace outlet channels as
roadways.
18. Plow in all gullies and
washes as directed by the E.C.W
19. In no case shall the coop-
erator burn crop residue such as
cotton and corn stalks but shall
plow these under in order to
improve the soil and aid in
checking erosion.
