Soil Cooservatlon Program Aims
to Prevent Erosion and Re-
build Soil Fertility
College Station.—"Every cul
tivated crop takes a definite
amount of original, plant food out
of the soil, and the necessary
cultivation of such crops exposes
the land to erosion, This results
not only in additional fertility
losses, but also in losses of soil,”
says Jack Shelton, vice director
and state agent of the Extension
Service.
"Some crops deplete the fertil
Ity of the soils more than others
and expose the land to a greater
amount of erosion. It is the
purpose of the new Soil Conser
vation Act to put part of the land
formerly devoted to such soil
depleting crops into crops which
will prevent erosion and will re*
build the fertility of the land to
insure a stable supply of foods
and fibres in the future.
"A brief review of figures de-
termined by the Agricultural
Experiment Station over a period
of nine years shows clearly the
extent of soil erosion.
"Land with a two per cent
slope when planted in cotton
showed an average soil loss of
7 96 tons per acre per year.
Land in milo lost 3.93 tons of
soil. Land in buffalo grass lost
1.56 tons.
"These figures show tbataside
from the plantfood used by the
crop, farmers of the state pay
more than two times as much
washed away soil for a crop of
cotton as they do for a crop of
milo. Similarly, they pay more
than five times as much for a
crop of cotton as for a crop of
buffalo grass.
The importance of crops in the
conservation of moisture was
also demonstrated at Spur,
where it was found that the
cotton plot lost 2 83 inches of
water iu runoff; milo lost 1.76
inches; and the buffalo grass lost
103 inches.
"These results were obtained
at the substation near Spur in
Dickens county, located on the
Rolling Plains region of North
west Texas. The soil on which
this work was done was Miles
clay loam and the results are
considered as directly applicable
to parts of 44 counties and ap
proximately 14.000,000 acres of
land of the Miles and Abilene
and related series, and indirectly
applicable to all of the subhumid
portion of Texas.
"Crops and practices which
iare best for preventing erosion
in Texas and for rebuilding the
fertility of the soil have been

recommended to the regional
director of the Soil Conservation
Service by the State Conserva-
tion and Domestic Allotment
Hoard which has been meeting
recently a t College Station.
These crops and practices will
be announced as soon as they
have received the approval of the
regional director.
"To qualify for payments un
der the rfew program, the farmer
must take land from soil deplet-
ing crops and plant it in soil
building and soil conserving
crops or must use certain soil
buildjng practices on the land.
"Generally speaking, it will be
necessary to have at least one
acre of soil conserving or soil
building crops to every five acres
of soil depleting crons in the
base acreage. This means that
a farmer who has 100 acres of
soil depleting crops in his base
must have planted on his farm in
1936 at least 20 acres of conserv
ing and building crops to partici-
pate in the program," Shelton
said.
