Every number was splendid and was well attended. Special mention might be given Dr. A. E. Pound of Atlanta, the platform manager, who gave four enjoyable lectures during the course. Dr. Culp of Chicago, lectured Tuesday afternoon on Tychology. He treated this deep subject in such a simple manner that even the children enjoyed it. His lecture that night on "Preparedness, and the Call of Democracy" was worth the price of a season ticket. Mr. and Mrs. Sprague delighted the audience and showed their splen-; did talent in the rendition of the plays, "Elmerelda" and "Rip Van T 1 -? mIq tra WHlKie," weanesuay. iuwc were not only delightful but the morals of each were good and will per-, haps never beforgotten by those who saw them. Excellent music was furnished! every evening by the Calhoun Falls Band. The people of our town have con-: tracted for the return of this Chau-j i tauqua next season.

Field surveys disclosed that field ivith graded terraces where the grade varied were In better condition thai ivere any having uniform graded ter races. The profiles of the grade lines o :hese terraces showed a tendency o :he grade to Increase toward the out ets, a short distance at the upper en< )f the terrace being level. This prac :ice possesses much merit. The gradi s increased at intervals along the ter ace to accommodate the contlnuaii: lugmented discharge from the increas ng size of the drainage area. A les >er grade may be used at the lowe: ;nd of a variable-graded terrace thai s required for a uniform-graded ter ace of the same length. This is du< :o the fact that a smaller rate of rain 'all can be used, since with the lesse: jrade of the variable-graded terrace :he time required for the water t< iow the length of the terrace is great ;r than for the uniform-graded ter ace. Studies and calculations show tha he lengths of a variable-graded ter ace that can be used, for a grade o: ).5 per cent at thle lower end, are 1,570 L.280, and 1,100 feet on slopes of 5 L0 and 15 per cent, respectively, ai compared with lengths of 1,210, 970 ind 820 feet for terraces with a uni !orm grade of 0.5 per cent. In laying off a terrace with variable jrade, the grade should be increase* it intervals of 200 or 300 feet and a ill sharp bends where the terraci crosses a gully or depression in a field i^or example, if it is desired to lay of i terrace on a 10 per cent slope, 1,2(X 'eet long and with a vertical spacini )f 4 feet, and the grade of the terraci s to be changed every 300 feet, thei ie grades would be as follows: Station. Grade In feet per .from? to? iw reei 0 300 0.05 300 600 .14 , 600 900 .27 900 1,200 .45 It Is seen from the above that th< ixade for the first 300 feet of terrao s almost negligible. This portloi ;ould well be laid off level. If a ter ace with a uniform grade were used l grnde of 0.77 per cent would be re juired. Both practice and theory sho? that the variable-graded terrace Is iuperior to the uniform-graded type. Outlets. "Wherever possible terraces shoul< ;nd at natural drainage channels. Th ibsence of a suitable drainage outle svithin the limits of a field often ne ;essitates ending the terraces at fenc< ines, depressions or draws. The vol iirae of water which is discharge* from the ends of a system of gradei terraces often erodes unsightly and ob lectionable ditches along the ends o the terraces to the foot of the slope Erosion in such channels can be re Juced greatly by lining them witl stones or seeding them to grass. Th channels and banks of graded terrace should not be cultivated for 20 to 3i feet from the outlet channel bu should be permanently sodded. Break :ommonly occur and erosion is mos ictive near the ends of graded ter aces, owing to the usually large vol cme of water passing. Some sort o protective covering of stones, board Dr other hard material should be em ployed to prevent this washing. When i terrace discharges into a deep ditcl a bos trough is used sometimes t< cive the water a free overfall into th< iitch. This prevents erosion in thi terrace channel.

With a variable-graded tern s there Is less likelihood of overt oppl * because the grade Is increased w short Intervals along the terra<re. i Again, breaks In graded terraces ? f | very frequent where gullies and < f pressions are crossed and at abn - bends. Such breaks are due to si i den changes In the direction of fl - 1 or to a change in grade, and olten e , both. The usual practice of cross! - ! depressions at a low elevation to avi 7 I abrupt bends, results in an increj - of grade to the middle of the clepr - j sion and a decrease beyond th<? m r i die. In order to avoid a break due 1 , this diminution in grade it bccon - j necessary to maintain the top of i 2 i terrace at a uniform grade.
