'Whisker Dams' Latest
Erosion Control Idea
"Whisker dams" are the latest de
vice advocated as an aid to Oregon
farmers trying to prevent gully ero
sion on their land. While the cur
rent fall has been so dry in eastern
Oregon that many farmers felt that
they would almost welcome some
water erosion, later in the year it
will doubtless become a problem as
usual, say soil specialists of the state
college extension service.
The term "whisker dams" has
been applied to a practice originated
by C. Edwin Hill, state coordinator
for the soil conservation service, who
applied it successfully last winter
throughout the Wild Horse soil ero
sion control project around Athena
It consists essentially of using straw
to form artificial vegetation in new
ly graded-in gullies where natural
vegetation has not attained enough
growth to afford protection.
The "whisker dams" are put in
after the soil becomes soft from rain
but before washing takes place. A
man takes a spade and by sticking
it straight down and working it back
and forth, quickly makes a little
trench some four inches deep and
two or three inches wide at the top
across the filled-in gully. A thin
layer of straw or other plant residue
is then scattered over the opening
and it is forced tightly into the trench
with the edge of the spade.
Enough of the straw extends above
the surface of the ground to form a
small check dam which collects the
first sediment that comes along" and
becomes firmly embedded there.
These little dams are spaced about
two feet apart along the filled-in
gully.
When the process is reduced to
words it sounds rather tedious and
complicated, but in actual practice
it has been found to be the quickest
and cheapest method yet devised for
holding newly filled-in soil in place
while vegetation gets a start.

running down stairs as each little

a treatment that any farmer can
carry out without cash expense, and
which can be worked with the most
unskilled labor.

The Lexington Calf club met at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ed
mundson for its December meeting.
Mrs. Edmundson served a delicious
two-course dinner and after the
meeting the guests danced to mu
sic provided by Dan Way and son
Stanley. For awhile, Billy Biddle
replaced Dan Way at the violin and
Maxine Way played the guitar. Re
ports on judging dairy cattle were
given at the business meeting. These
were far better than they had been
before, proving the members were
conscious of the points they were
receiving. The next meeting will be
held New Year's eve at Mrs. Adolph
Majeske's Both sewing and calf
clubs will meet at this time. Joyce
