July 16, 1963 3c-o-A-l Recent heavy rains have caused much soil loss from cul tivated fields in Laurens County. Especially is this true on fields where the^rows are running up and down the slope. Straight row farming causes five times more erosion than rows on the contour with terraces. An average cotton field in Laurens County with rows running up and down the slope will lose approximately 35 tons of soil per acre per year. Each ton of soil lost will contain $2.00 worth of plant nutrients. Can farmers stand this kind of loss and expect to stay Mi the business? Conservationists have set a maximum of five tons ?er acre per year as the highest al lowable loss and still make it pos sible for the operator to maintain the soil in a productive state through a long period of years. • t t Recent farm pond surveys by the SCS include a stock watering pond for J. T. Culbertson in the Poplar Springs secUon, one for the Whitten Village farm at Clin ton, and another for James T.
