The drainage from 35 acres of terraced land drains through this channel. These structures were installed by Mr. Haden, who appears on right, in 1924 at a cost of approximately $40 per structure. There are 7 structures in the channel. They have worked very satisfactorily but have required some maintenance work. The structure has a 5 ft. notch and 18 inch drop. The structures were installed without technical assistance. Mr. Haden has 4 sodded waterways on his farms and has found vegetation cheaper to install and easier to maintain that the structure type channel. Charles Hildebrand, WUC, SCS, appears in the photo."
