Crosby County's Business Institution — Established January 7, 190?
CROSBYTON, CROSBY COUNTY, TEXAS THURSDAY, JANUARY 7. 1960
„ Number ONE
Brice Allen has been selected
by Crosbyton Lions dub-as their
nominee for Crosby County's
outstanding conservation farmer
for 1959. Lee Suther, coun ty a -
gent, introduced him at' EToiw
luncheon Wednesday.
Allen is making good pro-
gress with his conservation .plan
on 800- acres he operated 10
miles northeast of Crosbyton. He
owns 480 acres of this "land and
rents the rest. - ,
On the 480 .acres Alien owns,
he ?i> Levelled 66 acres to save
rainfall and improve irrigation
efficiency. (2 J Uses rotation of
eotton and Smalt "grains. —-—
This 4atter rotation practicjg is
to have, cotton on the land no
lan two years in succes-
sion, This maintains soil organic
matter and furnishes- residues
for. erosion protection.
Trias Winter Peas ~~
(3) Uses nitrogen fertilizers on
feed stubble^, to offset nitrogen
tie-up dliie to"decomposition, and
useS. nitrogen on small grains
for maximum production.
(4) In July, 1959, he planted
six acres of Austrian winter peas
for soil improvement. These had-
formed .a solid ground cover bv"
grains at the lower end of irri
gation furrows. This strip collects j
runoff from rainfall and any ir-
rigation tail water that may oc*
cur, and carries it to- a flatter
portion of the-field where" it can
spread out ' AfiiH soak* into the
ground. , ' .
This keeps water out of the
road ditch and prevents efosion
in the field.
Designs Recharge System
Allen has designed his dwn re-
charge system on two irrigation
wells. These wells are located in
lakes which are occasionally
flooded by runoff water. V .
When flooding occurs, Allen is
able to drain thi£ water into the
water bearing . sands by using
hisirrigationjwell He has drain-
ed up to 200 surtace acres "of. wa •
ter in this Way. * ' *
