Bermuda Grass for Erosion Control In the past few months the use of .Bermuda grass in terrace outlet cbanneis has beea extensive on a num ber of projects with outstanding suc cess. From the work already done, it apg*ears that Bermuda is our moat erosion resisting grass, or plant. It is being placed in strips from two to four feet wide on each side of tim ber baffles, or spreader boards, for checking the velocity of the water (down the terrace channel. Some ra ther excessive rains have occurred during recent months and even tho the Bermuda in some instances toad pot become firmly set, it appeared to have withstood the force of the water very successfully. v It seems that farmers are begin ning to realize that if Bermuda should take their faxtm, it woud still have pome topsoil left, whereas if it is allowed to continue to erode, nothing but bare space and gullies will re sult. One farmer remarked recently that v/Wle toe was very much opposed )to the use of Bermuda and had fought (it for years, he believed that he could Jceep it under control much better than trying to control gullies. This fs a most sensible attitude and we want all cooperators to know that we are endeavoring to keep our work on a practical basis and at the same time to make our methods effective.
