This farm of about 200 acres, is now stop our lands from washing than by
as far as production is* concerned, prac-
tically worthless. I asked one man what
it was worth in its present condition.
He said he would not have it if there
was no remedy for present 'onditions,
if it was given to him and he had to
farm ft.
Terraces on a hillside as steep as we
have on this farm have to be located
about 70 feet apart, and perhaps with
a vertfeal fall from one terrace to the
other of five feet. The spacing between
terraces is governed entirely by the
slope of the land. On probably 80 per
cent of the land of Texas, which must
eventually be terraced, the spacing be-
tween terraces will be from 80 to 100
feet and the drop from one terrace to
the other will be 3 to 4 feet. This hill-
side. then, in this particular field, will
need, perhaps, 20 terraces. The cost of
the work should not exceed 82.00 per
acre and may cost consideraly less
Perhaps, 8200 will do the entire job of
terracing. It is hard to estimate the
value of the work at, this location, be-
cause it would make a fine stock farm.
At only 830.00 per acre it would amount
to 84,500, and the life of the land abso-
lutely depends on terracing. Also, the
entire work and the location of the ter-
terracing, why has it not been done and
put into practice. W$ have failed and
I believe the time has come when we
should get down to work and terrace
our lands. That is the only absolute
remedy for this problem.
In Dallas County a little over a year
ago, 258 inches of rain fell in one hour
and fifteen minutes. Suppose one Inch
falls in ten to fifteen minutes and it
does very frequently, what is going to
happen if that inch follows a general
rain after the' soil is*T>ractically "swim-
ming"? About 75 per cent has got to
get away. The rpn-off is tremendous.
That is the load the terraces must carry.
The first year is the year when the
terracing system is taxed to the limit.
There are irregularities in the gound
which the water will gradually leVel
off. The terrace banks are fresh and
there may be weak points along the
line which will show up -as soon as it
rains. The gullies and general drainage
channels on a newly terraced field ail
point downward and aid in rushing the
water to the terrace. The soils are usu-
allly very deficient in humus and hold
little water. All these conditions of
course, at first cause a heavy -run-off.
After the terrace is well established,

Denton High Has Made 190
Points; Not Scored Upon
" -----
» Without being'subjected to seeing a
single team that could put the ball
across their goal line this season, in
six games Denton High football has
stacked up a total of 190 points. The
team has not hesitated a single time
this year about where they will play
wnen it was their time to play on the
opponents’ field 'and their two highest
scores of the year have been made when
they were away from home. They
romped on their.one time rivals, G-unes-
ville, to a 43 to‘0 score and again at
McKinney the latter part of October
scored 41 points on that team.
Fort Worth,, and Dallas were strong
rivals of the local team last year and
it was a hard battle every time they
met. This year Denton baat Fort Woth
20 to 0 and when they met Dallas made
it an easy victory at 40 to 0. The team
opened its schedule on September 30
with Decatur Baptist College and is
playing them here again today. The
■former game they won 13 to 0 when
, they were just getting in training and
with the experience,they have had so
far they expect to make it hotter for
the Baptists than ever, though Decatur
states they are coming after Denton’s
goat this time.
Denton’s record for the season shows
the following results:
Sept. 30—Denton 13, Decatur 0.
Oct. 7—Denton 43, Gainesville 0.
Oct. 14—Denton 20, Fort Worth 0.
Oct. 2OADenton 33, Cleburne 0.
Oct. 27—Denton 41, McKinney 0.
Nov. 4—Denton 40, Dallas 0.

races can be done by the farmer him-
self during the fall months, and that is
by far the best season to do this work,
at absolutely no etfeense m.money. It
takes a good deal of labor, and on a
piece of land Jike that a couple of hun-
dred dollars provides for quite a good
deal, too/ The cost-, a nd time it takes
to do a certain 'amount of terracing
is a very variable Quantity. I have seen
some men who understand how to handle
dirt, who could move, I believe I am
safe in saying, three times as much dirt
as others.
After the field is terraced, T have ad-
vised the sowing of rye to protect it
through the winter. This should be
turned under. Perhaps sorghum and
cow peas mixed together in the spring
and turned under later that season
would be the next best thing to do
fora field under the existing conditions.
The soil now is. practically without
humus, and it is in a condition where
It will hold very little water. The
water holding capacity of soils with
and without humus is very striking.
The variation n*y be as great as one to
six. Also the length of lime the two
fields will hold water Is markedly in
favor of the soil with large humus con-
tent. We all know that a droughty
season always supplies a very great
amount of evidence in regard to that.
I have advised that about 30 to 40 acres
off the steepest part of the hill be put
into bermuda grass and the farm made
into a stock farm. At least a good deal
of stock should be raised. 1 would fur-
ther advise that the depth of plowing
be"gradually increased. We all know
that a soil that is plowed deep will re-
lure that a shallow
___id will not wash as easi-
ly.: After a few years of real farming,
there is no reason why this hill land
which has already been greatly im-
poverished, should not soon begin to
respond again with very nice returns.
There are ^thousands and thousands of
farms like this in Denton County. Prac-
tically all the hill lands of Georgia.
Alabama, North and South Carolina
have gone through exactly the same 1
cycle. The work there, a great many
of ,us know, who have have come ftjom 1
these Old States,1 began over 30 years I
ago. If there were any other means to j
the land is plowed deeper, and the hu-
mus content Is greatly increased, the
terracing system should with a little At-
tention, be easy to maintain. The rows
should be contoured with the terrace
and are in themselves miniature terraces
carrying the water in the same general
direction as the terraces. The .terraces
should be stengthened each, year by;
beglhning the plowing at the center of
each terrace and lapping the furrows
together. In this way they can easily
be kept at the proper height.
I would, in every case where It is
possible, advise that the terrace have
a base of 20 feet wide and be two feet
higher at the top of the terrace than
where the water runs on the ‘ upper
side. This will allow about six rows
of cotton or corn to be grown there.
With a narrow terrace it is hard to
maintain the terace and still cultivate
it. Even wider than 20 feet would be
better.
These terraces can be built with a
home-made V. drag, costing about five
dollars to build, a road grader, or a
steel ditcher, each to be used tn con-
nection with a. plow. Terraces have
been built- with a plow a|dne where
the ground has been replowed about
five times. A double disc plow is Avery
good for this. purpose. The slip scra-
per for making fills over the gullies Is
necessary. •
The terrace should have about 5 inch-
es fall to the hundred feet. We have
found that this guide is sufficient ‘to
carry the water away slowly without
washing. The water runs off in a broad
and shallow stream and should be car-
ried to some natural outlet. A length,
greater than a quarter of a mile should
be avoided if possible. The load of wa-
ter to be carried may bC too great, if
this distance is exceeded very much. At
least the longer they are the more dan-
gerous they will- be with regard to
breaking. A terrace a quarter of a mile
long, unless it has some. ugly twists,
however, is not hard to maintain. Some-
times it is impossible to turn the wa-
ter loose until they approach a half
mile. Where conditions are favorable
they can safely be taken that far. If
several good outlets *are availahlA use
them. '
To be .continued)
hood consumers has been reduced 82

plenty of railway cars soon for heavy
shipments and that a substantial cut iSoweTfUid
in the prices elsewhere will then be field afed
made.
