Parallel Terracing Suggested After Harvest
After harvest is a good time to plan a terrace system for cropland in the Comanche work unit area. Survey land topography while ground is bare and design parallel terraces using natural drains for grassed outlets. Contact the Soil Conservation Service for erosion issues and explore cost sharing through the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. Local mentions include Mrs Jess Canrwellooa and Mrs Brittie Sissy land visiting Cross Plains Enid Oklahoma with her mother Mrs Ethel Baker and a hospital returnee Eye McGuire.
