News From Mesquite
E. C. W. Camp
"My cotton is holding up re-
markable well under the drou-
ghty conditions this year on the
farm on which I have entered
the complete erosion control
program with the E. C. YV.
Camp, Mesquite, Texas,” was
a statement made by W. B
Hailey, a cooperator with the
Soil Conservation Camp. Mr.
Hailey attributes this to the fact
that he has all of his cotton land
either terraced or strip cropped
and that he is practicing con-
tour cultivation. This practice
enabled the ground to absorb
and conserve all the rainfall
that he had on the farm this
past spring and summer, He
said that there was practically
no runoff on his farm this year.
Mr. Hailev also stated that this
was the first time that he had
ever practiced strip cropping
and that the more he works
with this practice the better
pleased he is with this method
of soil and water conservation.
"Our grain sorghum yields
were as much as 20 tons of sil-
age per acre this year and our
cotton crop is putting on a
heavy crop which will make a
yield above average,” according
to Mr. Boatwright, farm mana-
ger of the J. R. Black farm,
Renner. Texas. Mr. Boatwright
said that he was convinced that
the complete erosion control
program as outlined by the Soil
Conservation Camp, Mesquite,
Texas was quite an aid to them
this year in preserving the
small amount of rainfall to
produce this very satisfactory
yield.
> Many farmers in the camp
area are becoming interested in
controlling their soil and water
losses as is indicated by the
many applications received by
the E. C. W. Office for inspec-
tions of their farms.
The technical staff is keeping
very busy planning farms fo**
complete erosion control demon-
strations which the camp will
work on this coming year.
The camp crews are pushing
their work on the various types
of work this summer even
though they are handicapped
because of lack of moisture. At
this time the crews are engaged
in sodding terrace outlet chan-
nels and fencing areas which
are being retired from cultiva-
tion and put into pasture.
