especially to the formation Of gullies
on hillsides by which farm may b.
completely ruined In . very few years
When these bitches are small they
may be nled with rubbish that will
check the current Of water and cause
the sediment to bs deposited thers
which win result In the alling Of ths

The general washing that takes
place from the surface Of all hilly and
even slightly rolling land should b
looked after as well.
The washing removes tho best SON
and lowers the productive capacity Of
very large areas of land. Much Of
this was not the best to begin with
and the removal Of tho thin top son
has rendered many hact1 almost
worthless.
Silt and clay soils arc much moro
liable to wash than sandy onss, be1
cause the particles are smaller, eon,e1

While it IL impossible to change ths
inorganic constituents Of soils to any
appreciable extent, yet they may bd

texture in few years.
This may be done By incorporat1nk
organic matter in them. The partially
decayed material cements the soil par
