Experimental Terraces
Tried at Condon
Construction of several hundrpH
broad-base terraces on its erosion
control project near Condon is be
ing carried on by the Soil Conserva
tion service to determine whether
this ancient practice will prove an
effective and economical method of
conserving soil and moisture on the
sloping fields of eastern Oregon.
While terracing has been prac
ticed for thousands of years in Eu
rope and Asia, and has become an
important part of the erosion con-
trol program of central and south-

eastern United States, it has not un
til recently been experimented with
on a large scale in Oregon. Art
King, extension soil conservationist
stationed at O. S. C, says he believes
the plan has possibilities, and that if
if does nothing more than force cul
tivation of these fields on the con
tour instead of up and down or in a
haphazard fashion, it will be worth
while from the standpoint of erosion
control.
Using a tractor and grader the SCS
workers at the Condon camp com
pleted about 1000 feet of terrace a
day. Terraces are 30 feet wide at the
base, running across the slope of the
land on the contour, each with a
broad flat channel above a low flat
earth ridge made by moving the
earth down hill from the channel
onto the ridge. These are said to
offer but little obstruction to culti
vating operations. ' When completed
the system is epected to prevent
soil washing and help retain rainfall
by collecting and holding water until
it soaks into the ground, carrying
any excess off slowly.
The SCS is seeding the completed
terraces to grass and legumes, thus
adding fertility to increase the yield
of the following crops in addition to
holding the newly worked soil." In
augurating another new practice to
Oregon called "strip cropping" they
will seed wheat in alternate strips
between the terraces each year.
This method is expected to give the
land maximum protection against
wind and water erosion.
These measures have been found
workable arid effective 'in other
parts of the United States under sim
ilar conditions, ; and if successful 6n
the Condon project," low cost meth
ods of terrace ' construction by indi
vidual farmersahd land owners will
be sought. "

superintendent, will leave tomorrow .
