V
Along Highways
(By James B. Cartwright, District
Ranger U. S. Forest Service)
Motorists passing through the
Piedmont of South Carolina today
see mostly green frests, grain
fields and improved pastures.
Herds of fat purebred beef or dairy
cattle graze on lush grass. New
homes line the highways. Neat,
permanent type fences are evi
dence that landowners are invest
ing heavily now for a future that
is secure. Yet twenty-five years
ago this same area was at the
lowest ebb of a cotton economy
that was failing because it did not
provide any protection to the land.
Characteristically the Piedmont
roads folow the tops of ridges.
Here sheet erosion scalped much
of the surface but left some sandy
top soil on the flatter areas. With
the changes in land use most of
these lands have been brought
back into productivity.
Where the highways dip down
off of the ridges to cross streams
a thoughtful motorist might wond-
at the wide swamps that border
the streams and are inundated
with hard rain or moderate wet
spell. Once these were fertile cul
tivated fields and pastures tra
versed by streams that kept with
in their deep channels. Kings
Creek, Indian Creek and Duncan
Creek are examples familiar to
all Newberrians.
The forester, the logger, the
pulpwood operator, the farmer,
the hunter, all those who leave
the highways and traverse the
slopes and hollows can read the
story of the swamps. It is writ
ten in outlets from road ditches,
terrace outlets, broken terraces,
abandoned roads, old cotton rows,
each concentrating runoff water
into a channel on a steep slope.
The gullies that resulted are al
most unbelievable. It is as though
the soil just dissolved like salt or
sugar. As the gullies deepened,
the sides caved in in huge chunks,
creating dams that held for a lit
tle while and then flowed as mad
down the channel. The creek chan
nels filled up with mud and the
streams spread, out over the bot
tomlands.
Now, neither tho gullied slopes
nor the bottomland swamps are
agricultural land. Instead, with
fire protection and good forest
cutting practices, the old gullies
are largely healed and only a
small percent^ of them are still
active.
National Forest lands in the
Enoree District demonstrated how
lands, once considered to have lit
tle value, could be reclaimed.
Where cotton failed, forests are
succeeding. The job of healing the
erosion is accomplished along with
the production of a very valu
able timber crop. Now hundreds of
thousands of acres of Piedmont

NATIONAL AS TELLER
Wm. M. (Bill) Blalock, for
some months bookkeeper with the
Kirk Pontiac company, has ac
cepted a position as teller with the
South Carolina National Batik,
John T. Norris, manager, has an
nounced. Mr. Blalock was em
ployed as teller in the Newberry
County Bank before joining the
Kirk company.
forest land is being managed un
der good forestry practices by
pulpw r ood and lumber companies,
as well as by smaller land owners.
Even the farm woodlot is getting
better care.
But the work is not complete.
Too many private timberland own
ers still cut destructively. Too
many people are still careless with
fire. Not all farmers follow good
agricultural practices. But public
opinion is strong for conserva
tion. That is what will win the
battle.
