make a study of how to build
them up snd increase their val-
ue, then surely the same con-
sideration should be given the
land which is to determine the
success or failure of the busi-
ness of farming.
Much of this neglect is caus-
ed because of conditions of the
past when it was possible to
move from one field which had
been neglected to a virgin field,
or from the hsbit of leaving a
run-down farm and moving
westward to fertile land; how-
ever, these opportunities are
rapidly-passing as population
increases and more fields are
worn out. Much of it is also
esused by neglect, ignorance
and indifference on the part of
the owner. Probably an attempt
has been made at terracing by
some inexperienced man in the
section at some time in the past
aneas the results were natur-
ally undesirable this has served
as an excuse for entire commu-
nities, countes and generations
to discourage the idea of terrac-
ing as a means of protecting
the land.
