the adoption Of effective measures for
stopping erosion.
Methods q Preventing Eroslen.
Since erosion In due largely TO the
rapid movement OF the rain water over
the surface Of the ground. methods OF
preventing erosion must cause the wa
ter either to sink into the soil or fiow
away slowly over the surface to n
drainage channel. If the rain water
were absorbed by the coll as fast as
1t falls. there would be very little
erosion.
In order TO drink up surface water
rapidly q soil must be very permeable,
which means that it must contain fair
ly large open spaces through which the
rain water can pass easily, or where
IL can be stored temporarily. Some
soils are naturally very permeable. A
number OF ways Of increasing the
permeability Of q soil are deep plow-
Ing. blowing under organic matter
such az manure, stubble. stalks and
cover crops; the practice Of tile drain
age and. In certain soils, the use OF
explosives.
Protection OF vsostatiea.
Vegetation covering the surface OF
the ground protects the soil from the
direct action Of the rain and checks
the fiow OF the water over the surface,
giving the son better opportunity to
absorb the water. IL 10 therefore Inn.

such as yetch. clover. oats. wheat or
rye. be grown on the land during the
winter or at any time that the land
In not used for other crops.
Contour blowing. which consists OF
breaking the ground along level lines
across the slopes. reduces the fiow Of
water directly down the slope. Also
In planting and cultivating the crops
the same level lines are followed 90
that shallow trough Ia made above
each row. Most Of the rain water IN
caught and held in this trough until
IL either evap0rates or Is absorbed By
the soil. Contour blowing should In
variably be practiced on all hill lands.
The beginning Of great many kullies
Is due to the practice OF blowing and
cultivating directly up and down the
slopes.

FORTUNE OF ARKANSAS
 SAID TO BE IN RIVERS

lanta, as in Birmingham, gave con- spicuous publicity to the fact that Arkansas is looking to the example of the Southeast in these matters, and is planning similar development.
 Among the most significant facts developed about hydro-electric pow CT in Atlanta, with relation to the situation in Arkansas. are these:
 Runs the Street Cars
 The street railway system, the in- terurbans running out of there, the street and domestic lighting circuits, of Atlanta, are supplied with electric al current generated from water-pow- CT which few short years ago was benefiting chiefly the fish.
 Atlanta has the lowest power and lighting rate of any city of more than 100000 population. with two possible exception, in the United States, according to the comparative charts of the Georgia Railway & Power Company.
 Not to get too deeply into tiresome statistics, the pay rolls of l23 plants out of 200 reporting to the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, is approxi- mately S1 100000 month. One hum dred and nineteen concerns reported l3,296 wage earners. Tn total capi- talization of 197 manufacturing con cerns here is $51, ,000, ,O00.The average annual output of 370 of these plants is valued at $178,299,337.
 But the most important develop ment, aside from the opening of the mines, previously referrd to, has been the attraction to points along the 1,500 miles of transmission lines of large plants in rural communities. Many of these are textile industries. The entire power development of Georgia started from comparatively small plants. These have been grad ually consolidated and connected into great system.
 Asked his opinion as to what the development ofArk ansas hydro-elec- tric power would do for that state, kr. Lawhon, whose chief job is bringing industrial plants to Atlanta, said:
 Tt will absolutely make Arkan- sas.

AvANIsHED DREAM.

The wartime dream of a merchant
fleet of concrete ships appears to have
been followed by a rude awakening
The concrete ship was a success in ev-
cry it seems. except financially.
In two countries, the United States
and the United Kingdom, work on
concrete vessels has been suspended.
An order from the United States ship
ping board has been made to discon-
tinue construction work on the con-
crete ship at Oakland, which probably
marks the end, at least for the time
being. of concrete cargo carrying con-
struction in the United States.
Word also comes from Glasgow,
Scotland, that the plant of the Aber-
deem Concrete Shipbuilding Company,
Ltd, erected for the building of con-
crete ships, has been sold.
l. Many shipping experts have all
along been dubious as to the ultimate
success of the concrete ship. While
they say it was valuable as a wartime
emergency they contend that under
only such circumstances could it prove
of value. 1t has been pointed out that
while the concrete ship Faith was
still on the ways many Japanese ship
builders made a study of the possibil-
tiles of concrete after the first at
tempts of Europe. Nothing was heard
Of concrete construction from Japan,
that country saying shipbuilders there
were satisfied to watch the efforts in
this country. An authority who has
studied concrete construction from a
technical and commercial aspect as
well made the following statement:
The concrete ship from a construc-
ton standpoint is not considered seri-
ously by shipping men. A convincing
illustration which shipping men had
months ago was the construction OF
tha steamer Faith which pr ed be-
yond a doubt that a ship of this type
was structural possibility. But that
is as far as this particular experiment
went
A comparison is made between the
Faith" and the steamer John A.
Hooper" The latter, with two feet less
length. ten feet less depth and the
same beam. carried practically the
same cargo as the Faith" making a
service speed of ellen knots on j, 500
Horsepower, while the Faith had a
service speed of nine knots on 1900
hor; epower. AS the vess~'z were built
at different times. it is pointed out, no
fair CO lparison could be made of the
cost of each ship. but there IS reaser
to believe thai the concrete ship would
cost more than the steel ship which
reason is based on the time taken for
construction.
