able to put crops on this now
useless land with some measure
of assurance that the crops would
not be flooded. Adding this type
of benefit, together with the cost
of damage now being done t o
roads, bridges and town property,
the planning party showed that
an annual benefit of $41,539 could
be realized if the watershed pro
ject is put into effect.
Sites selected for dams are in
Laurens county near Joanna;
and in Newberry county near Ja-
lapa on Beaver Dam creek and in
the city on Scott’s creek on the
Stewart and Ridgeway proper
ties just below the intersection of
Harrington anc| Hunt streets
From the point of this dam to
the intersection of Scott’s creek
and Drayton street, the creek
channel would be cleared of ob
struction but not widened.

WATERSHED . . .
(Continued from page 1)
remainder is expected to be paid
by the government, $364,581.
There are, Mr. Shull explained,
approximately 75,000 acres in the
watershed. This includes all land
draining into Bush River. About
20 per cent of the acreage is in
Laurens county, the remainder in
Newberry. In the Laurens area,
there are 67 farms; in Newberry
county, 831 within the watershed.
The purpose of the watershed,
according to the planning party,
is to reduce or eliminate flood
damage and to restore land to
its highest potential. Statistics
over the last 20 years show an
annual damage from flooding, er
osion, etc. in the watershed area
to be an average of $9300. By
building dams, improving the
river channel and putting into ef
fect land treatment and stabili
zation measures, Mr. Shull told
the group, this damage would be
reduced ' by more than half, not
considering the amount that
would be gained were farmers
Below the dam proposed f o r
Joanna to Singley’s Mill pond in
Newberry, there will be seven
miles of channel improvement,
widening and deepening, clearing
and straightening of the river
bed.
In addition to the dam and
channel work, other measures pro
posed include terracing, planting
of stabilizing crops for erosion
control, tree planting, drainage
and roadside stabilization.
The project will be spread over
a five-year period, if it is finally
approved. After the work is done
it will be the duty of the local
sponsors to see that maintenance
measures are carried out.
In response to a question from
a landowner, Mr. Shull assured
the group that there would be no
Federal control over the project
although the government would
assume the major financial bur
den. The only limitations were
that the local sponsors must
maintain the program and obtain
easements, and that there must be
no interference with the dams
which would block the water con
trol measures. Otherwise, said
Mr. Shull, the dam and perman
ent pool belong to the person on
whose land it is located and may
be used for irrigation, recreation
or in any way that does not in
terfere with the water-retarding
features of the dam. He also
stated that the local sponsoring
group would advertise for bids
and administer the contract for
the watershed work.
The local cost of $12,375 was
divided between the two counties
as follows: Laurens $5780, and
Newberry $6595. Most of those
present felt that the comparative
ly negligible cost was not a mat
ter for concern and that the
money would be forthcoming if
the easements are obtained, and
approval is granted by the gov
ernment.

the negative and had it blown up
into a 16x20 inch print and it is
a beautiful and humorous, al

I call it, is one of the props now
used by the Soil Cohsevation Ser

of watersheds. And it is a good
example.

give it serious thought and sup
