in H TERRACING IS BEST WAY OF STOPPING Losses to Farming Lancis by' Washing Away of The aoiis I WO KINDS TERRACES ; ARE PUT INTO USE I 1 ( Horry County Not Very Hilly, ! But Terracing Would Pay. ( l Soil erosion, or the washing away j oi' earth by water, costs the farm- j ers of the United States $1,000,000 ] every year. This is the estimat) made by the Untie 1 States Department of Agriculture and publishe 1 ^ m r armors tiuiloun ino. yy<, terracing Farm Lands." Erosion injures j O' practically ruins fertile land; hot- ^ torn as well as hill lands suffer from ^ its ravages, the bulletin adds. ( Soil losses from this cause occui ? i i every State in the Union and ulna st in every county in every State. , N ne years ago the National Con- ^ scrvation Congress reported that ( 4 000.000 acres of fanu land had | been practically ruined by ero. ion of soil. Terracing, the bulletin says, i the most effective method of stopping erosion. Other methods recom- j mended for reducing soil washing j and which should he omnloved in eon > nection nv il>1 terracing arc deep plow ( ing, growing cover crops, plowing under organic matter, contour plow ir.g, and underdraining. Types and Tlicir Uses. There are two distinct types of terraces?the bench and the ridg* terrace. The former is particularly fitted for use on steep slopes, while ' the latter is well adapted for use on ( moderate slopes. Ridge trraces ar < A divided into two classes, those with 5 narrow bases and those with broad bases. Both may be laid out level or ' with a fall along the terrace to carry 1 the water off at a low velocity. Terraces having broad bases may be cultivated and readily crossed by farm machinery without injury to the terraces. This is not true with narrow-base terraces, and for this reason they are less desirabic. Wher. broad-base lovcl-ridge terraces are used in connection with drain tile or. any type of soil, it unquestionably 's the most effective method ever employed to stop erosion. Erosion is reduced to a minimum to the terrace channel by carrying the water off the field in a broad, shallow sheet at a low velocity. It has been found that average soils are not washed much in broad-terrace channels, where the fall does not ex ceed (I inches in 100 feet, and it ; recommended that this fall never be exceeded. However, even with thi fall, some washing occurs and ;oni rich soil paid id es are carried off the field. Hence a graded terrace should he given no more fall than is neces sary to remove the run-off water without danger of Hie terrace being overtopped. The terraces may be laid out with a uniform or a variable fall. The best results are obatined where the variable fall is used, since it tends to pre vent the concent ratio o: th? water at the lower end of tin terrace. A\ o h s washing occur, where the variable fall is used. Water Outlets Important. The provision for suitable outlet i* one of the hiearrst nroblems " tx rracing w-rk.

When you use medicated sprays, atomizers and douches for your Catarrh, you may succeed in unstopping the choked-up air passages tor the time being, but this annoying condition returns, and you have to do the same thing over and over again. Catarrh has never yet been cured by these local applications. Have you ever experienced any real benefit from such treatment? :inies it is necessary to construct litches for use as outlets. Where latural draws, guillcs, or roadside litches are used they should be projected from erosion by building wloss them brush, concrete, stopdank. or soil-savinir dams. The growing of grass in draws used for mtlets is especially recommended. The work of laying off terraces diould be done carefully, preferably jy an experienced man.
