Yet 1 do not ,N r believe deep plowing and cub- VV0T soiling is sufficient, alone, on a " hillside tarm. We hWe had such rapid downpours of rain wn' lor three years in succession that 1 believe it would have ran off it it had been two feet in dust li ^ou simply fulls faster than the land V can drink it up. I Sou I believe terraces properly j d?**( made are essential helps in s iv- <t'e ing soil. In April, 1006, thej'ant State sent Mr. Meac'tmm to mv ing. house, at my request for help, j'hat and he laid off about 'bree miles; raiof terraces for me. During the j mar summer of 1000 some of them j brat broke because tiiuv liad not be ju;o come settled and, perhap , were in 1 uot properly built. However, Pee last winter 1 t >ok two horse?, jri su with scrape and boilt them up. a Ii< This summer we hare had equal him downpours of rain to those of cent 190m. yet the terraces stood, and cut soil that lodged a_ainsl them h if should oe measured by c trload- T ' : rather than wagon loads. Ifleev these terra :e- had not been there van the soil tha' I saved would have A- t been gone forever from my laud, b et I know i'rof.
