Nine years ago the National Conserva-

acres Of farm land had been practi-
cally ruined by soil erosion. So seri-
Gus is the condition that DR.. n. s.
Shaler, formerly dean of the Law

moved to remark that "If mankind

serve this source ot life, we must look

Fertile lands in a number of ways.
The upper and most fertile parts o.
the soil are washed away until the
land becomes barren and unproduc-
i've. Deep gullies are formed which
result in an actual loss of land for
cultivation, a lowering of the water
table and a deficient supply of mois-
ture. Drainage bitches are often filed
up with sand, which frequently re-
suits in the flooding of the adjoining
bottom land and the destruction of
props. Rich bottom lands are often
covered with deposits of sand washed
Rom the hill lands. Hence the direct
0sses Of the upland farmer are the
and occupied by gullies, smaller crop
lelds each year, and a continued de-
Tease in the value of the land. Some

honey invested in the construction of

Methods Of Preventing Erosion.
Since erosion is due largely to IN,

the surface of the ground. methods ol
preventing erosion must cause the wa.

drainage channel Ii the rain water
We're absorbed by the soil as fast as
It falls there would be very little
erosion.
In order 10 drink no surface water
rapidly soil must be very permeabIe.
which means that it must contain fnlr-
ly large open spaces through which the
rain water can pass easily. or where
1t can be stored temporarily. Some
soils are naturally very permeable. A
number of ways of increasing the
permeability of a soil are deep plow.
ing, plowng under organic matter
such as manure, stubble, stalks and
cover crops; the practice of tile drain
age, and in certain soils, the use of
explosives.
Protection of Vegetation.
Vegetation covering the surface Of
the ground protects the soil from the
direct action of the rain and checks
the flow Of the water over the surface
giving the soil a better opportunity TO
absorb the water. It is therefore I'M
Dortant that some kind of cover crop.
such as vetch, clover, oats, wheat or
'ye, be grown on the land during the
winter or at any time that the land
S not used for other crops.
Contour plowing. (which consists of
the ground along level lines
lcross the slopes, reduces the flow Of
water directly down the slope. Also
n planting and cultivating the crops
he same level lines are followed so
hat a shallow trough is made above

BOIL WEEViL LOSES GROUND
Second Year in History of Insect That
There Has Been Reduction in
Infested Territory.

Prepared by the. United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture0
Due to the hard winter Of 1917-1S
the boil weevil lost ground in his con-
Qnest of the cotton belt last year. This
Is exceptional in the history of the
Weevil. in that it is the second year
since the establishment of this insect
III the United States that there has
been a net reduction in territory in
rested by this pest.
This does not mean that the move
ment of the boil weevil has been per-
manently stopped In fact, the net
loss of territory for the year was but
a fraction of the loss at the begin
ming of 1918. Much of the lost ter
ritory was regained by the weevil later
IL the year.
The losses in territory occurred in
Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Ala
bnma. The weevil gained territory in
florida, South Carolina. Georgia, and
New Mexico This is the first report
o. the boil weevil on cotton in New
Mexico, where it was found in the
PecOs valley.
The weevil has reached the southern
most limits of cotton production in
Florida. 1t is steadily gaining new ter
rtory in South Carolina. Almost the
sntire sea-island cotton belt is now in
9ested.
Altogether the weevil invaded only
16,100 square miles of new territory
Curing 1918. It lost $4,000 square
nniles of formerly infested territory,
nnaking a net loss of 30,500 square
fniles. About 10000 square miles of
cotton territory still remain unin-

Millions Saved in
 Education by Metrics

America's' greatest educators are supporting the. move made by the World Trade Club of San Francisco to secure the adoption of metric units of weights and measures by Britannia and the United States. "The adoption of the metric system, by the United States would facilitate teaching of mathematics and applied sciences in schools" wires President Emeritus Charles w. Eliot of Harvard Univer- sity. President Nicholas Murray But Ter of Columbia has also sent the World Trade Club telegram of SUD- port. Dr.. Joseph V. Collins, an emi- .nent educator. declares that the people of the United States lose S314, ,OOO ,0OO yearly in education because of the time so wasted in teaching a system so much more complicated and diff cult than the metric system.
