No matter how many soil con-
servation practices you have on
your farm, heavy rainstorms of-
ten bring more than your land
can absorb. When this happens,
the surplus water runs off with
considerable force and causes
serious erosion. |
Controlling runoff water from
cropland is a major problem on
most farms. Terraces collect
water from a large area and
concentrate it in a small area
where the erosion force is mul-
tiplied many times.
In many cases there are no
waterways already established to
grass on the farm. It can be-
come necessary to locate the
waterways and establish a gress
cover before terraces are con-
structed.
Like other soil and water con-
servation measures, grassed wa-
terways must be propertly desig-
ned if they are to be successful.
They must have ample capacity
to handle peak runoff water to
prevent damage to waterways
or surrodunding land.
The best locations for water-
ways are in the natural water-
courses or depressions in the
field. Many times these depres-
sions can easily be made into
a good waterway with little or
no shaping before grass is plan-
ted or sodded. Natural water-
courses which are badly gullied
must be filled and shaped to
provide the desired capacity to
confine the water and remove
it from the cropland at a safe
velocity.
The size of the waterway de-
pends on the number of acres
draining into it and the kind

of vegetation used. Four inches
of water falling on a 60 acre
field is the same as 20 feet fall-
ing one one acre. As an exam-
ple, a waterway of one acre may
take the runoff from a 60 acre
field.
Two or more small waterways
serving the same acreage have
an advantage over one large
waterway. They take about the
same land area but will be less
expensive to shape. In many
cases by replacing the one large
waterway with two or three
small ones, a parallel terrace
system can be installed.
King Ranch bluestem and ber-
mudagrass are two grasses com-
monly used in this area to pro-
vide a cover in waterways. King
Ranch bluestem is a bunchgrass
that is more easily washed out
than Bermudagrass and slower
to recover from erosion. Its use
should be confined to gentle
slopes and slowed velocities.
Coastal or common Bermuda-
grass forms a dense turf that is
highly resistant to erosion.
Grass waterways will pay off
quickly if you will only put them
to work. In addition to controll-
ing soil erosion, they can easily
produce additional grazing or
several tons of hay per acre as
an additional bonus when pro-
perly managed.
Maintenance is a very impor-
tant part of waterway manage-
ment. An inspection after each
heavy rain and needed repairs
made as soon as possible will
often save an expensive reshap-
ing and revegetating job.
Automatic Data
lit Use By IRS
The automatic data processing
of 1040 and 1040A returns for
1965 started on January 1, 1966
in the Internal Revenue Services
Southwest Region, according to
Ellis Campbell, Jr., District Dir-
ector for IRS in northern Texas.
Campbell says the percentage
of errors can be reduced if all
taxpayers will see to it they file
accurate and complete returns.
Be sure that you report your
Social Security number correct-
ly. It should be compared with
your Social Security Account
Card. Sometimes it is easy to
transpose figures, thereby caus-
ing errors.
All taxpayers should read
carefully the instructions in the
returns package mailed to them
and mathematical computations
should be checked for accuracy.
A final check should always
be made to assure that the re-

turn is properly signed. If a
joint return is filed, both signa-
tures must be shown. All data
in the return must be ligible.
