Author Description

Excerpt from Terracing of Farm Lands The subject of terracing of farm lands is one that should be more seriously considered by the farmers of North Carolina, especially those in the Piedmont section of the State where the farm lands are more subject to erosion. This is one of the methods that can be satisfactorily employed in conserving the soil and, for certain areas, no better or cheaper means can be devised. Where attempts have been made to use this method and they have not resulted as favorably as expected, it has usually been that sufficient care and attention were not given to: the location and. Con struction of the terrace. They have been either too steep, too far apart, or had too much grade on their upper sides.
