MASTERS OF SOIL FERTILITY
Channels Which Wash Deep and

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Gullies are wasters of soil fertility.
In many corn-producing sections the
rows between the corn sometimes act
as channels which soon wash deep and
carry away much Of the best soil Of a
field. Although 1t Is not n simple mat
ter to reduce these gullies. II Is prac.

scheme practiced throughout the corn
belt by many farmers consists In
thrashing settings OF grain-where

that the by-product straw will be de-
posted In such a manner as to block

Even though wheat and rye straw are
valuable for bedding purposes, II Is

ter as the farmer will eliminate a ma
terlal source of loss and m eyesore
from what probably Is otherwise an

All right-it's your business. But

Its busiest. A score Of things are call

seed corn to meet their needs for two
