As more ;put under intensive ural production, water ment is becoming an ng concern to farm- servationists and eco- Traditionally, good nanagement was mere- ieW drained soil. Too much water in a field cause' seed to rot and plants to sufficate. Too little water and crops became parched and often died. But increasingly farmers are realizing water management encompasses much more. Water flow changes as more land is used in crop production. Lower water tables can result from improved field drainage, since better drainage reduces the amount of water in the ground water system. Intensively cul- tivated land bas considerably less water storage potential than undrained pastures con- taining low wet spots and ponds. Also, water quality changes, more sediment is present, obnoxious chemicals or harmful plant growths appear more frequently. At- tention should be focused on farming practices that might create pollution problems. Land and waste treatment practices should be thorough- ly be examined by the farm owner for obvious sources of pollutants and corrections made. The development of water management pro- grams, both on farms and in conservation areas will help to guarantee water supplies qua- lity and storage for many years to come. 4-H Registration Still Open Registration for the 1974 4-H Agricultural Program in Dur- ham County will close on May 1st.
