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.

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.
These will be established to fes
cue with waterhhed program as
sistance.
The Soil Conservation District
