Chapter Aids In Buying Terracing Level The McCormick agriculture class now has a new Bostrom-Brady ter racing level purchased by the dis trict; but aided by the members of the F. F. A. members of the ag riculture class. The science . of terracing has been studied for the past five weeks by the agriculture class, and more time is planned for this study. It is hoped that the mem bers of this class may be able to be pioneers in terracing this county, so, with the cooperation of everyone, they are sure to accom plish a great amount of construc tive work. This terracing instrument is to be used to the good of all! It will be under the supervision of the agriculture teacher, Mr. Sprawls. If he seems to be a long time get ting to your farm, don’t blame him because there is a lot of farms in this district. To a person who has run a ter racing level, it is very simple, but to one who has never had any contact with it, it is quite complex. For that reason, there will have to be meetings to explain the op erations of the implement before work is begun. Besides that, it is a very delicate instrument, and positively, will have to be handled as such. To lay-off a terrace, three men are needed; one to sight through the instrument, one to carry the rod, and one to drive the stakes, }cr run a furrow as the case may be.
