Abstract
The effect of contour‐planting on the rate of runoff, silt‐load capacity, and depression‐storage are important factors in erosion‐ and flood‐control. Results of the practice must be considered by soil conservationists, agricultural engineers, and hydrologists in planning erosion and flood‐control measures for watersheds or for individual farms. Since contour‐tillage reduces erosion and frequently results in increased crop‐yield, the practical application is of importance to the farmer.
