Terracing stressed at Clifton luncheon in Bosque County
A Clifton luncheon highlighted soil conservation through terracing. A. K. Short of the Federal Land Bank in Houston warned that soil erosion costs plant food and yields, citing Temple Experiment Station figures. Elmo Cook reported Bosque County terraces cover 15,000 acres with needs totaling 150,000. 300 farms have terraced fields. Terracing raises yields 10 to 25 percent and boosts land values. Conservation work trained 10 men and 15 boys to lay terrace lines, adding about 118,000 in land values and at least 25,000 annually in farm income.
