the loss to the soil by erosion is as
much as one-tenth of an inch of sur.
face soil in four years. This means
a great loss of plant food.
Missouri soils, for the greater part,
are underlain with a heavy subsoil,
which does not soak up moisture we'll.
1t is absolutely necessary to provide
escape for surplus rain. This can be
done by tile drainage, good surface
ditching or by proper turning under
of the furrow. Slopes which appear
to be cut by rivulets should be cult
waited smooth. II the cuts have pro
crossed too far for such remedy
brush and few bundles of ripe grain
should be thrown in the trench. Thus
the force of the water will be stopped
and the shattered grain will take root
to further obstrnct the passage. In
extreme cases, a new channel may be
made to give the older one an oppor.
tunity to sod over, when the water can
again be reverted to its original
course.
BY diligent practice Of these sug.
gestions the reserve fund Of fertility
will be kept permanent and the uni
formity of the field will make farming
operations less difficult to handle.

enmesh the soil PARTICLES. Often the
steepest slopes support timber growth,
the dead leaves of which provide a
blanket of spongy material which has
the ability to drink in a great deal of
water
1t is perfectly practical to cultivate
rolling lands and maintain a reserve
fund of fertility If the ways of nature
are initiated as far as possible. Steep
hillsides should be kept in a perma-
nent pasture. Very broken land should
be kept in grass Whenever feasible. As
a rule, even in the toughest country,
there are few farms which do not have
considerable level strips. These fats
should be utilized for the titled crops,
At the same time the hillsides may
be put in corn once in four years, as
the first year after the sod has been
turned under there is little wash as
compared with the following years.
Soil kept rich in organic matter re-
sists the ravages of surface water.
In preparing hillsides for corn, the
blowing should always be done par.
allel with the contour of the hill. AS
blowing is done in the fall, the land
should be left in the rough over win
ter. Dead burrows should be placed
so that they lead to a sodded strip or

LONG MISSING MINISTER
RESCUED BY FARM HANDS
Illinois Kidnapers Keep Dry
Advocate Prisoner For
Fifty Days.

St. Louis, May 25.-The Rev. Louis
X. Patmont, the prohibition advocate
who said he was kidnapped from
Westville, ILL.,, on March 81 and found
in an abandoned house near Column
bia, ILL.,, declared here that he knows
the persons responsible for his de-
btention. He has been taken to Dam
Vile, Illy where the grand jury of
Vermillion county, now in session,
will Immediately turn aside from all
other matters to take up the investi-
cation of his story.
He said that an automobile owned
in Danville was used In abducting
him. He declared that he was slug
ged and carried half conscious from
place to place for fifty days in this
machine. He said he knew the own
ers Of the car.
!, When he was not being transport
~ II The Inachine PatTnont said he
was kept in dark cellars, gagged, and
his hands bound to bar Of wood
under his knees. The abandoned
building in which he was found bore
evidences of the intention Of his cap
tors to burn the house and incinerate
the minister, the plans for which,
Patmont says, he heard his captors
discuss.
Patmont was positively identified
by the Rev Mr.. Brandt, personal
friend, who has known him for years.
Before being brought to St. Louis he
was further identified by half dozen
residents of Vermillion county,
among them the Rev. J.. F. .Bickel,
pastor of the First Christian church
OF Danville, Ill.
With a two months growth Of
beard, half starved and almost black
with dirt, Patmont was brought to
st. Louis by the Rev, John L. Brandt.
pastor of the First Christian church
Of st. Louis, who made Tying trip
to and from Columbia by automobile
a. soon as he heard that Patmont had
been found. After bath and real
meal-the first he had tasted in two
months-Patmont told his story.

When corn is checked, the first cul
tivation should be up the hill, SO that
later plowings will have burrows per

the more gently rolling land, where

quently, it is often advisable to have a
cover crop, such as rye, on the land
over winter.
New land does not wash as does the
older cultivated soil, because the or.
ganic matter binds the mineral grains
together. Retaining the organic con-
tent of soil indirectly prevents erosion.
Where little precaution is taken in
this regard it has been estimated that

In the gently rolling to severely
broken country Of Missouri, heavy
rains are bound to remove some Of
the best Of the soil, leaving the heav-
Tor, sander material which is always
poorer in quality. This process OF
washing away the finer, rich soil in.
gradients is called erosion. All soils
are composed of clay. silt and sand
particles mixed with organic matter.
Clay and silt are both easily removed
by the washing of the rains. Unfor-
tunately, these two soil constituents
contain the bulk of the essential plant
foods, phosphorus, potassium and nj
trogen.
The cultivation of soil by man is an
unnatural condition. Nature protects
