\,6—Lancaster Fatmihg,' USING AN INSTRUMENT much like a surveyor’s transit, Martin .Muth, Work Unit Conservationist, checks the grade on a field to check the feasibility of constructing a water drainage along a road. The drain age tereace, when completed will keep runoff water from the road from spreading out across cropland. L. F.

Afiter coordinating the day’s work with the other three men in the Lancaster Work Unit in the Lancaster office, Muth took me to the farm of Robert Bru baker at Belleaire. North of Eli zabethtown, to show me some preliminary work on a conser vation plan. Brubaker, who now farms it Mount Joy Rl, recently purch ased the farm and plans-"to move onto it in April. He first contacted the Lancaster Coun ity Soil Conservation District Didectors and signed an agree ment for a free conservation plan for the farm. Muth had been on the farm and' had made some prelimin ary plans for controlling the water, but now had to check further to find if" the soil sur face sloped m the direction he wanted to move excess surface water His 28 years in the woik has taught him that the eye is not reliable when it comes to judging the exact slope of a field. Before we got out of the car, Muth went over the county soil survey map with Larry Corson, soil conservationist who- works out of the Lancaster office. They studied the soil types on the farm carefully since the t>pe of subsoil as well as the topsoil will determine what practices will work or won’t work This part ot the woik is easier since a complete soil su ivey was completed just a few years ago Muth also had an .aerial pho tograph of the farm with the soil capabilities plotted in col or green for the soil that could be cultivated intensively with" very little danger of eros ion, yellow for the soil that FASTER GROWING ALVES v 2 L.
