system used in the more humid regions, because the primary problem is one of holding water on the land rather than draining it off safely. But Soil Conservation Service technicians have worked out a program that does apply. Water is conserved through contour tillage and terracing to promote vegetative cover. Variable crop rotations are guided by seasonal, climatic, and soil conditions--with wheat the maior crop and sorghum feed grains the minor crop. Crop residues such as stalks and stubble prevent wind erosion. Small grains are marketed and the feed grains utilized by permanent or transient livestock-depending on the availability of grazing land in the neighborhood. Feed storage facilities, at least a 2-year feed reserve, are recommended to relieve grazing pressure on stalk fields, permanent pastures, and young crops. R. H. O.
