BEINGSTUDIED
More than 100 enroUeea of the
Fourth Street CCC camp are utilis-
ing a part of their after-work spare
time to learn more about the theory
of soil conservation. This study la1
proving a valuable supplement to
on-the-job Instruction, both for the
men concerned and for the Soil
Conservation Sendee.
These men mav attend one or
more classes In Agronomy, Pasture
Management, Foramanahlp Train-

taking up In detail the Instituting
of erosion control devices on farms
In this area. These classes are
taught by members of the 8C8
staff and meet once each week.

required to complete the course.

as instructive and as interesting ss

camp was the first In this section
to use slides of typical erosion prob-
lems and steps taken to salve them
Many of these slides are of work
done In this camp area, in many

cational program has already made
itself known. First, several men
have obtained Jobs where this

It was during this month that
construction of the first specifica-
tion terraces was begun on the J.
R Bhelton farm. Since then, ter-
racing has gone forward at an al-
ways accelerating pace, aided by the
splendid cooperation of the Bi-own
County Commissioner s Court to al-
lowing fanners the use of county
-road, machinery to construct ter-
races and terrace outlet channels
In September, 1936, 64 miles of
terraces had been constructed; to
December, 1937, 151 miles; In De
cember. 1936, 363 miles; and on July
31 of this year a grand total oi
595 miles had been rolled up. Ah
of these terraces were at least 18
inches to ettSct height and 24 feet
wide at the base. Many ooopera-
tors, especially those chiefly engag-
ed to raising small grain, elected to
build terraces up to' 42 feet wide ac
that large drills and combines could
be more easily driven over them.
