that fifteen thousand children were going

reminded business men that they were to

they be Democrats or Republicans, but
that they are to work the question out

Soil washing is matter that should
receive careful attention on all farms
and can be prevented by the judiclous
use Of grass and deep blowing. Many
fine fields in some Of the Western
states have been-ruined by soil wash
ing. Some are washed so badly that
they can no longer be worked with
modern farm machinery. Soils that
have good supply Of humus are not
subject to washing, as they have a
greater water-holdlng capacity.
