The improvement in staple length
is indicated by smaller proportions

taken place in each state for which

county officials have agreed to pur
chase two power terracing units
for the use of the Anderson County
Soil Conservation Association.
These units will bring the total to
27 power terracing units purchased
by 18 counties during the past year,
says E. C. Turner, extension soil
conservation specialist.
The counties which have pur
chased units are: Abbeville 1, Aiken
2, Anderson 2, Cherokee 1, Chester
1, Fairfield 1* Greenville 2, Green
wood 1, Lancaster ,1, Laurens 2,
Newberry 1, Oconee 2, Orangeburg

should terrace on the average of
about 630 acres of land per day;
or on a yearly basis, considering
the average number of operation
hours these units are able to ter
race, over 60,000 acres of cultivated
land per year. Turner estimates.
The state association’s 15 terrac
ing units have been distributed-
to 15 of the 19 counties, the plan
being to rotate them among the
counties to assist the county as
sociations in their work.
“County delegations of several
ether counties have agreed to pur
chase terracing units just as soon
as county assistants in soil conser
vation can be placed in their coun
ties to supervise the work”, says
Turner. “If funds were available
for this purpose, within a short
time every county in the state that
needs terracing and soil conserva
tion work would have a county as
sociation and would be engaged in
an, active soil conservation pro-
