Showy Affair
Aumsville, Ore., Aug. 29
Visitors attending the farmers'
field day, September 17 on the

will see two of soil conserva
tion's most showy landmarks
strip cropping and contour terraces.
The soil-saving practices have
not, as yet, been used extensive
ly on the sloping farmlands of
the - Willamette valley. .Best
known use of contour strips
is Vernon Jette, a supervisor of
the Santiam soil conservation
district, and a neighbor of Bar
tels. The quilt-like pattern of
strips stand out on Jette's lands
like a huge round "marquee"
advertising good land use,
More than 150 miles of ter
races are now in use in Klickitat
county In south-central Wash
ington, where nearly 2000 farm
ers and ranchers attended the
show of conservation farming at
Goldendale in May.
Three of Oregon's largest
users of strip-cropping are
Charlie NIsh, Virgil Larson and
Art Jaeger whose strips, laid
out on the rolling wheatlands of
Gilliam county serve as an ef
fective buffer to run-off.
Laying out of one mile of di
version terraces and 246 acres
of strip - cropping on Bartels'
farm will be features of the Wil
lamette valley soil conservation
day. Technicians of the Stayton
staff of the U. S. soil' conser
vation service were scheduled to
complete engineering work on
the practices this week.
