Newton (on the tractor) owned a farm 1 mile south, 1 mile west which he terraced in 1938 under CCC supervision. Before renting this 160 acre farm (with 60 acres cultivated), this year he told the owner he would rather not farm it unless it was terraced. Newton agreed to rent equipment and build 5,300 feet of terraces and in return, Mr M. Cook, the owner, agreed to give Newton the AAA conservation payments, "We'll both make more money with less work this way," Newton told Cook, "Your farm will be worth more after it is terraced and there'll be no washes develop in the cultivated fields." Oats and Korean lespedeza will be planted in this field. Okla-8698.
