TERRACING IS BEST
WAY OF STOPPING
Losses to Farming Lancis by'
Washing Away of The

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.

Catarrh is a Real I
and Requires Vi
Do Not Neglect It.
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. The best
nstruments ai*2 the farmer's small
c lescope level and the engineer's
evcl. (
Terraces require considerable care
uul attention, particularly during
ho first year they are built. They
d ould he inspected after every
navy rain, and any breaks or weak
places repaired immcidately. The
x st 'results are obtained when the
nop rows are run parallel in the tor ace.
In order to maintain the height

Horry County is not a very hilly
)lace; but still there are many farms
11 this county which might he bene'itted
by terracing to a greater or
esser degree. The subject is worthy

especially in view of the great
ncrease in the value of farming
