Soil Conservation Notes
By BEN FULTON
With the harvesting of small-
grain completed in the Little
Wichita Soil Conservation Dis-
trict. the plowing of crop resi-
dues has begun. We are again
fortunate in having a good crop
of straw this year. What use we
make of this straw will deter-
mine the condition of the crop-
land in the future.
Residues left on the soil sur
face are beneficial in many ways.
During the hot summer months
the residues on the surface will
help shade the soil and will re-
duce the temperature of the
soil as much as 20 degrees. Field
studies made last year in Arch-
er County indicated that when
the air temperature reached 100
degrees, the soil temperature
under good residue cover was
91 degrees compared to 112 de-
grees on clean tilled land.
Crop residues on the soil sur-
face also reduces runoff and
therefore increases water ntr.ke.
In Archer County it is not the
amount of rainfall we receive
that counts, but the amount that
we can keep in the soil. When
we increase the water intake of
the soil we also reduce water
erosion On land where wind
eosion is a problem the residues
will protect the soil by prevent-
ing the wind front sweeping
across the surface and picking
up the soil particles.
The amount of residue that
will be left on the soil surface
will be determined by the type
of equipment used to work the
land following harvest. One plow-
ing operation with a one-way
plow will normally destroy the
effectiveness of the residue 50
percent. Chisel or sweeps on the
other hand will normally destory
only ten percent of the residue.
Remember that the primary
reason for wearing a hat is for
protection, so why not give your
soil the same treatment and leave
a cover of straw for its protec-
tion.

These wrecks accounted for
five persons injured and an esti-
mated property damage of $9,-
370.00.
The rural accident summery
for Archer County from January-
through May of 1964 shows a
total of 44 crashes resulting in
no persons killed, 29 persons in-
jured. and an estimated property-
damage of S22.888.00.
The Sergeant expressed ser-
ious concern over the increase
in fatal motor vehicle traffic
accidents and deaths throughout
the state.
“For the first five months of
1964. 1025 persons have died in
triffic. compared to 871 for the
same period of 1963,” the Ser
geant stated. “This 18' < increase
is very alarming and when you j
realize our heavy volume traffic |
months are still ahead, we must
anticipate increasing problems
in the accident picture. There is
an increase in all types of acci-
dents throughout the state and
it is something that merits our
greatest concern," he said.
“The driving public must as-
sist in the reduction of this
trend if we are to turn it down-
ward. Otherwise our death count
at the end of the year will far
exceed the record number of
2.729 deaths in Texas traffic dur-
ing 1963. If you are driving, your
life literally is in your own
hands, so won’t you help your-
self and others by resolving not
to become one of our statistics?”
the Sergeant asked.
