standard in every way. Norman

cylinder teeth we stretched a string
diagonally across to mark the row of
teeth. This makes the machine run
steadier. as whole row Of teeth will
not strike the concave all at once. The
teeth are set about an inch apart and
spaced so those of the cylinder will
pass between the teeth in the concave
without striking. The machine IL
mounted on two posts set firmly in the
ground. Gearing was obtained from
an old binder. The double sprocket A

SOIL EROSION IN THE SOUTH
Large Areas Ar Lost to Agriculture
Through This Cause.

Large Areas Ars Lost to Agriculture
Through This Cause.
The following statement regarding
soil erosion In the south is taken from
the last annual report Of the bureau of
soils Of the United States department
Of agriculture:
In a study of soil erosion in the south
it has been found that large areas are
lost to agriculture annually through
erosion. In some states vast areas,
amounting to as much as 80 per cent
Of the arabic land of these sections,
have been abandoned. The character
Of the erosion varies with the type of
soil. Usually on the heavy clay soils
"sheet" or surface erosion Is found.
With increasing proportion Of sand in
the soil the erosion changes to the
'shoestring" type, then to the gully
type, with rounded edges. and finally
to the gullies with caving edges.
All methods for prevention and con-
troll are based either on increasing the
capacity for absorbing the water as 1t
fells or on decreasing the velocity of
the run-off. A new method in use in
one locality is the construction of what
are known as "christophers." the dis
tinctive feature of this plan lying in
the manner of disposing of storm wa
tiers. Across an incipient gully is built
dam. through which is passed a
sewer pipe connected with an upright
pipe on the upper side of the dam.
Water fills the valley until it reaches
the top Of the upright pipe and then
flows down this pipe into the mex,
field. The water left standing below
the mouth Of the upright pipe is grad.
ually removed by tile drain.

1t is sometimes good plan to
leave some Of the cornstalks

standing will hold a lot Of snow

kota experiment station It was
found that 0ne-fourth Of the
cornstalks left standing stopped
about as much snow az when all
were left. This will in many cases
mean good deal to the next
crop. The added moisture will
make the soil less liable to blow.
