Bartlett Soil Conservation
iervice Sponsors Project Tour
B
SEVERAL HUNDRED
VISITORS EXPECTED
TO MAKE TOURS
The Soil Conservation Service
of the Bartlett Camp SCS 7-T is
S'preparing to receive several hun-
dred visitors from Bell and sur-
rounding counties beginning Fri-
day and extending through May
ffl according to R. H. Goodnight
&Wechnician-in-Charge.
Friday May 21st and Friday
May 28th 'have been set aside as
"Special Visiting Days" during
the two week period. On these
two days groups of 4-H club
' members Future Farmers of
America Chapters Smith-
Hughes instructors county farm
agents and farmers and business
men are expected to make
specially conducted tours of the
Soil Conservation Service area.
It is' pointed out by Mr. Good-
night that persons who cannot
come on the two special days
send a post card to the local
Soil Conservation Service office
- setting: out the .day during the
visiting period that they will
want to make a farm tour.
All groups or individuals will
be conducted to the various
farms in the camp area where
the different phases of the co-
ordinated erosion control pro-
gram will be explained. -These
trips will give the visitors an op-
portunity to see just how the soil
and. moisture conservation pro-
gfam operates on a field and
farm unit basis.
More than 10000 acres in the
Bartlett camp area representing
69 -farm owners and operators
are under a five .year coopera-
tive agreement with the Service.
Of the acreage under agreement
a total of 860 acres were found
to be so steep or eroded as to be
unprofitable for cultivation and
have been! retired to new pas-
tures and woodlands. Visitors
will see how vegetative means of
control minimizes erosion haz-
ards on steep land while at the
same time making these former-
ly unprofitable acres furnish a
part of the farm income.
