SOIL CONSERVATION
DISTRICT NEWS
Contour farming is a practice
that goes with terracing. A
farmer who builds his terraces
to prevent erosion should also
consider the practice of contour
farming. Contour farming is
only cultivating and planting
the land with the terraces. The
idea oft point rows in a field
will frifthten some farmers be-
cause lie has heavy four row
equipment. The way to prevent
this is to shape and sod necess-
ary waterways and install par-
allel terraces on your farm but
even with parallel terraces con-
tour farming is the key to the
life of your terrace system.
. Joe Coker of the Soil Conser-
vation Service said "I have
talked to many farmers who are
practicing contour farming and
they do not consider point rows
a big problem. The main thing
is to try to keep the point rows
between the terraces and not
turn on the bade of or in the
channel of a terrace. Contour
rows have a tendency to hold
water in dry seasons causing
the farmer to have a good seed
bed with plenty of moisture to
plant his crops."

tour farming contact your local
Soil Conservation Service of the
Little River San Gabriel Soil
Conservation District.
vided an estimated annual
margin of reserve of about 20.3
percent over the estimated ann-

In 1966 he stated output
by the total electric utility in
dustry in the United States is
expected to reach 1.1 trillion
kilowatt-hours or about 6.8
percent over 1965.
During 1966 Lynch conclu-
ded investor-owned electric
companies in the United States
are expected to install 9.5
million kilowatts more of gen-
erating capacity. In the next
five years these companies ex-

Screw Worm Funds
Do Not Have To Be
Matched This Year
Funds spent on the screw-
worm eradication program by
the federal government no long-
er will have to be fully matched
with non-federal money thanks
to action taken by Congress
during the closing days of the
session.
The cost of treating screw-
worm outbreaks that occur in
areas of the United States
where the insects have alreay
been eradicated must continue
to be matched by state and pri-
vate sources. However the ex-
pense of maintaining a barrier
zone along the U. S.-Mexico
border to guard against reinfes-
tation by fertile flies will bo
borne by the federal govern-
ment. Congress voted $2.8 million
for maintenance of the barrier.
It also appropriated $320000
for an intensive survey of
scrowworm problems in Mexico
and $1 million to cover eradica-
tion activities in Arizona and
California the only states
where screwworms have not
been eradicated. Of the latter
$600000 will have to be match-
ed by the two states.
Since inception of the eradi
cation campaign in February
1962 half of the costs have
been paid by the federal gov-
ernment the other half by the
livestock industry and state
governments in Texas New
Mexico Oklahoma Arkansas
and Louisiana. The livestock in
dustry through the Southwest
Animal Health Research Foun-
dation has raised nearly $4
million on a voluntary basis.
