Duncan Creek Landowners Using Soil Program Thurty-four landowners in the Duncan Creek Watershed have signed cooperative agreements with the Laurens County Soil Conservation District since Janu ary 1, 1963. As a first step to ward using each acre of their land properly, a basic soil and water conservation plan was de veloped with the assistance of the Soil Conservation District. B. R. Abercrombie of the Soil Conservation Service stated that these basic plans consisted of plans for crops to be planted; on land best adapted, needed conservation treatments to be in stalled, such as terraces, grassed waterways, drainage ditches, farm ponds, etc., land to be planted to permanent cover of grass or trees, and assistance through the watershed program. The most recent landowners who have developed such plans are Marvin Nelson, Mrs. Mar jorie S. Roy, Roy E. Benjamin, Jr., C. B. Holland, A. B. David son and Claude Madden. These new SCD cooperators as well as those who have been co- operators for several years have recently applied some planned conservation practices. Terraces have been constructed the past week on the farms of the fol lowing: Mrs. Maggie B. Poole, Johnny Murphy, M. T. Rice, A. Grady Smith, Roy E. Benjamin, Jr., and C. D. Benjamin. A nat ural draw was shaped on Claude Maddens’ farm and also on Mr. Benjamin’s farm. These will be seeded to fescue for terrace out lets. Eroding .gullied areas and bench type terraces were smooth ed with a bulldozer on 26 acres of the J. J. Cornwall farm, and 8 acres of Whitten Village land.

Clay says leaves, grass clippings and other litter should be made Into a mulch pile. Select a spot at the back of your lot, yet with in reach of your garden hose. Use ordinary garden wire and enclose an area three to eight feet high and three to five each way. Dump leaves and garden litter into the bin in layers six to twelve inches thick. To this, add a layer of commercial fertilizer and one to two inches of top soil. Water the layer and con tinue to build the pile as material accumulates. This material will make ex cellent mulch for shrubs and gardens next spring. STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT AND CIRCU LATION. Date of filing: Sept. 30, 1963.
