LOSS OF SOIL BY EROSION.



on the American Farm.
The moving of soil by wafer is not
confined to large streams, as many
farmers know to their sorrow. Every
tiny rill tricklng down the slope car
ries off some Of the finest and richest
soil on the farm. After a heavy rain
the spring is soiIy and the puddles in
the h0lloWs are muddy with it. The
deep burrows left Up and down the
slope by the cultiyatOr teeth become
miniature water courses, and the trio
king water eXacts Il tribute of rich soil
before it joins the large rill by the
road. The soil Of the cornfeld that
was left bare all winter has lost some
of its best loan 10y planting time.
Gullics appear on the farm here and
there, widening and deepening after
every rain. The soil on the knobs and
hillsides becomes thin and yellow, for
the rich black surface part of it has
hurried off to help build up some excel
lent farming land about ten miles
downstream.
After heavy rain the farmer can
see the best part of his soil creeping,
running. racing away from him. \
thousand murky rills slowly meander
across his plowed ground and gather
forces in the hollows. \ hundred tur
bid rivulets pour down the hollows and
join the water in the gulch. \ dozen
muddy brooklets rush down the gulch,
swell the brook into a creek and race
downstream, bearing away tons of
the rich silt and loan that make plants
grow. When the rain is over and the
soaked soil has dried out enough to
till, there are gravclly places that the
farmer finds it hard to make pro
ductive, and rocks are exposed that
have never been above the surface be-
fore.
Unchecked erosion has ruined many
farms and seriously hurt many others.
Thousands of acres of valuable farm
ing land, particularly the red clay soils
of the south and the loose, shay soils
of the north, are gouged and quilted
every year until they become practical

New Pension Law.

The age limit pension bill passed by
both houses of Congress has become a
law. Under its provisions when a sol

of 60 years he is allowed Sc per month

At 81 he is allowed So and at 70 years
