Raises Value Of Land
"Farmers conserving topsoil
will raise the value of their land
improve their community by be
ing Detter ame to support good
schools a.nd churches- and have
a higher standard of living" is
the opinion of .Albert Steglich
a resident of the Pecan School
Community who is cooperating
with the Bartlett CCC Camp.
Mr.- Steglich first cooperated
with the Soil Conservation Ser
vice through the Belton CCU
Camp. The work done ok Mr.
Steglich's farm- at that time in-
cluded only the protecting of
terrace outlets. In September
1937. Mr. Steglich decided. to
morje -adequately control erosion
on Qiis farm-by adopting a com-
nlete. coffrdiriatfced 'rilan 'to' in
clude .planting of erosiion resist
mg strips jn combination with
his terrales apd contour tillage
and' stripping the remainder of
his cultivated? land. '.
'Since soilfcohervation .work
was begun f on my "farm" Mri
Steglich said. "my. crop yields
have increased materially- - and
gullies that were bad injiheibe-
ginning are not noticeable now.
sloped and sodded by the Camp
is now safer for travel and pro-
vides a safe non-erosive outlet
channel for my terrace run-off
Water."
Mr. Steglich recently acquired
an additional 55 dcres of land' oh
Which he has begun to establish
erosion control practices similar
to those imeffect oathe original
104 acres of the farm. The Bart-
lett CCC Camp is cooperating
Wvith- JMJr - Steglich. in properly
controlling erosion on this 159
acre farm and in carrying out
fliis diversified farm program.
In; controlling this farm' Mr
Steglich has found it advisable
and practical to; (1) retire 1'4.5
acres from cultivation to pas-
ture (2) retire 8.0 acres to per-
manent native meadow (3) re-
tire 1.5 acres to continuous al-
f alfa.
(4) plant approximately
11.0 acroi to cats and sudan for
temporary pasture (6) fence
fklds to facilitate grazing of
crop residue and (6) plant a
sufficient number of tilled crons
to permit practicing a good crop
rotation.
Mr. Jteglich .further stated-;
"By following a complete ero
sion eorftrol program on my
farm and by applying the man-
ure from my feed by rsin my
crop residue and by foljcwmg s
diversified farm program i can
