Inspection Tour Of CCC Erosion Prevention Efforts
G W Stokes details an inspection of Konawa area CCC erosion projects. Terraced fields on C A Johnson farm show strong breaks where fills were inadequate, with Bermuda grass ditches and concrete spreaders. Tenants transplant sod in outlet ditches while 5000+ trees go to post timber. Contour farming and strip cropping on multiple farms conserve soil and moisture. A lime crusher near Konawa serves farmers, while Bowles and Huckleberry farms showcase coordinated terrace work and vegetation ditches.
