TO PREVENT SOIL

before It becomes effective during
which other methods will be needed.
The experience Of farmers in
Western Kansas in their attempts to
save their soil from blowing away
is valuable to the farmers in Okla
homa and Texas, where climatic con-
ditions are similar. In the vicinity
of Colby, Kan. the farmers united
to secure some remedy for the
abandoned farms few years ago.
realizing that one neglected and un-
protected farm would give an i'm
petus to a sandstorm that would
sweep away the adjoining farms lt
allowed to get the start that was
awaiting it there.
At that time the people OF that
county. went before the legislature
and secured enactment Of law per-
hitting anybody to take possession
of an abandoned farm and cultivate
IL under certain conditions.
1t is said that when the blowing
of soil begins in the arid belt 1t pro-
ceeds in increasing ratio as the
storm sweeps along. Impediments
to its increase are necessary on ev-
cry farm. and at even more frequent
intervals than that. In the case o.
the panhandle of Oklahoma. when
the soil blows away it leaves hard
surface that may be broken up in
its turn and made into equally good
soil as that blown away. The depth
of the soil in that country is a guar
anty against permanent loss of till
able surface as result of soil blow
ing away for long time to come.
But the crops generally blow away
with the surface soil. and that isthe
argument for making better efforts
to prevent the waste wherever pos
sible.

Oklahoma City, Okla. April 80
Benjamin Hennessey. secretary or
the state board of agriculture, who
attended the farmers congress at
Guymon, has returned to his office
here, enthused over the interest that
is taken in improved farming meth
DDS in the Panhandle country. He
says the meeting was attended by
several hundred men from the states
that corner there, including New
Mexico and Colorado as well as Tex
as, Kansas and Oklahoma.
Mr.. Hennessey noted that in the
vicinity of Guymon there has been
more than the usual blowing OF soil
during the past winter, and says that
he saw wheat fields where the plants
and the soil together had been swept
entirely off the field. This condi-
ton is not infrequent IN the sandy
soil sections of oklahoma and Tex
as and Western Kansas, There, Is
remedy for it. however. and agri-
cultural authorities are working TO
bring about general movement to
prevent the waste of soil and grow
ing crops in this manner.
1t is necessary, Mr.. Hennessey
says, TOR the whole area to join in
methods 10 prevent soil blowing in
order that results may be satisfac-
tory. II only one ora few farmers
do the right thing the soil will blow
off the neighboring farms and COW
er their crops.
Occasional heavy burrows in an
east and west direction through
whole conuties of the semi-arid
plains country will do much toward
preventing the blowing of soil. oc
casional strips Of sorghum planted
every year and used for forage while
the roots and stumps of the stalks
are left in tn ground will help. For
estation is. of course. the best meth
cd of preventing soil from blowing
away, but It is a slow process. and
even IL adopted by number Of
farmers, will require several years
