the adoption of effective measures for
stopping erosion.
Methods Of Pre- venting Erosion.
Since erosion is 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 flow
away slowly over the surface to a
drainage channel. If the rain water
were absorbed by the soil as fast as
1t falls. there would be very little
erosion.
In order to drink up surface water
rapidly 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
1t can be stored temporarily. Some
soils are naturally very permeable. A
number of ways Of increasing the
permeability of soil are deep plow
ing. blowing under organic matter
such as manure, stubbIe, 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 better opportunity to
absorb the water. 1t is therefore i'm
portant that some kind of cover crop,
such as vetch, clover, oats, wheat or
rye. be grown on the land during the
winter or at any time that the land
is not used for other crops.
Contour blowing. which consists of
breaking the ground along level lines
across the slopes, reduces the flow of
water directly down the slope. Also
in planting and cultlvating the crops
the same level lines are followed so
that u shallow trough is made above
each row. Most of the rain water Is
caught and held in this trough until
1t either evaporates or is absorbed by
the soil. Contour blowing should In
variably be practced on all hill lands.
The beginning of IA great many gullies
is due to the practice of blowing and
cultivating directly up and down the
slopes.

Soil erosion, or the washing away
of earth by water, costs the farmers
of the United States $1,OOO.OOO every
year Soil losses from this cause oc-
cur in every state of the Union and
in almost every county of every state.
Nine years ago the National Conserva-
ton congress reported that 4,W0,0O0
acres of farm land had been practi-
cally ruined by soil erosion. So seri-
Gus is the condition that DIR. N. S.
Shaler, formerly dean of the Law
renee Scientific school, was once
moved to remark that "If mankind
cannot devise and enforce ways of
dealing with the earth which will pre-
serve this source of life, We must look
forward to the time-remote it may
be. yet clearly DISQUALIFICATION our
kind, having wasted its greatest in
heritance, will fade from the earth
because of the ruin it has accom-
plished."
Ruins Fertile Land.
Erosion Injuries or practically ruins
fertile lands in number of ways.
The upper and most fertile parts of
the soil are washed away until the
land becomes barren and unprOduc-
tive. Deep gullies are formed which
result in an actual loss of land for
cultivation, lowering Of the water
table and deficient supply of mols-
ture Drainage bitches are often filled
up with sand, which frequently re-
suits in the flooding of the adjoining
bottom land and the destruction of
crops. Rich bottom lands are often
covered with deposits of sand washed
from the hill lands. Hence the direct
losses of the upland farmer are the
land occupied by gullies. smaller crop
yields each year, and continued de-
crease in the value of the land. Some
of the losses of the bottom farmer are
the land covered to great depth with
sand crops damaged by overflows or
deposits of sand, continued decrease
In the value of the land, and the
money invested In the construction of
drainage bitches that have been filed
or partly filed with sand. Thus 1t is
apparent that both the bottom and the
upland farmer should be concerned in

The world made much of the four hundredth
anniversary of Columbus great discovery Only
Chile will celebrate this anniversary of Magellan
Yet it may be fairly asked: Was not Magel-
lans achievement the greatest? And If 1t was,
is not Magellan the greatest of navigatorsF
To be sure, John Fiske very properly
points out Magean's voyage has not the unique
historic position of the first voyage of Columbus,
(which brought together two streams of human
life that had been dsjointed since the glacial
period"
Columbus sailed to reach the "Spice islands"
and mistakenly believed to his dying day that he
had succeeded. Magellan succeeded in doing what
Columbus attempted.
Before Magellan met his death in the Philip
pines he had, the first of men, completed the
circle of the earth for before setting out on his
voyage to the west he had visited the Far East
in the service of the Portuguese and had passed
the meridian to which he attained his last

So Magellan's voyage, considered from the
viewpoint of its scientific results. of voyage of
exploration and of n test of courage and endur-
ance seems the greatest achievement In ocean
navigation of all history.
1t is fitting that the Chileans should celebrate
this anniversary this great navigator. Portugal,
his nntiye land and Spain, under whose flag he
made the great voyage. have been invited to par

Columbus has been exploited. Yet of all the
