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.

air, it is best to run the fan

started as soon as one section

'* * (Continued from Pagd'l) ' ;
Some of;the early-methods'of
conservation wer’e ’ Impractical
on a working farm, but the ba
sic ideas were sound, and the
principals are still pretty much
the-same keep the ’soil in
place and use every acre to the
maximum of its potential.
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
