q great depth with sand crops dam
aged by overfiOws 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 filled or partly filed
with sand. Thus it is apparent TINT
both the bottom and the upland farmer
should be concerned in the adoption
of effective measures for stopping erO-
sion.
Causes and Forms of Erosion.
Erosion is caused chiefly by the di-
rect action of heavy rains beating upon
the ground, by the rapid movement Of
The rain water down the slopes of the
land surface, and by the combined ac-
ton of the freezing and thawing of
saturated soil, followed by heavy rains.
The sleeper the slope the greater Is
the erosive action of the running wa
ter. For instance, if the slope be in
creased four times, the velocity OF the
water down the slope is about doubled
and the power of the water TO carry
away soil particles is increased about
.hirty-two times Rows that run up
md down the slope when cultivated
.orm small bitches that concentrate the
water and increase the amount of ero-
sion.
Where the upper soil is washed quite
evenly from rne surface of the land
over wide areas, due to the moving wa
ter being quite uniformly distributed
over the surface, erosion in The form
of sheet washing occurs. Where gull
lies are washed down the slopes due To
large volumes of wafer flowing over
narrow strips of ground. generally in
depressions or draws of field, erosion
known as outlying occurs. Sheet wash
ing is not so noticeable as outlying. and
for this reason many farmers DO not
consider il very harmful. However, II
IS very destructive since II fobs the
land of the surface soil which is known
to contain higher percentage or
humus and other essential elements OF
fertility than the subs0il. Also 1t Is
practically impossible to secure the
full benefit of expensive fertilizers and
manure where sheet washing occurs,
since they are rapidly washed away
along with the surface SOIL If meth
DDS we're employed to prevent sheet
washing few guIlies would ever be
formed in a field, since sheet washing
finally develops into outlying.
Methods of Preventing Erosion:
Since erosion is due largely 10 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
drainage channel. If the rain water
were absorbed by the soil as fast as II
falls, there would be very little ero-
sion.
In order TO drink up surface water
rapidly soil must be very per.neable,
which means that II must contain fair
~ large open spaces through which
the rain water can pass easily. or
where il eau be stored temporarily.
Some soils are naturally very perme-
able. A number of ways of increasing
the permeability of soil are deep

blowing, blowing under organic mat
ter such as manure, stubble, stalks and
cover crops; the practice of tile drain
age and, In certain soils, the use of
explosives
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 ia
absorb the water. 1t is therefore i'm,
portant that some kind of cover crop,
such as. vetch, clover, oats. wheat or
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 cultivating the crops
the same level lines are followed, so
that shallow trough is made above,
each row. Most of the rain water is
caught and held in this trough until 1t
the soil. Contour blowing should In,
variably be practiced i'm all hill lands.
The beginning of u great many gullies
is due to the practice of blowing and;
cultivating directly up and down the
slopes.
Terracing.
Terracing is the most effective
method of preventing erosion, and it
is doubly effective all of the
above methods are employed in con-
nectiOn with it,
There are two distinct types of ter
races-the bench terrace and the ridge

Soil erosion. or the washing away of
earth by water. costs the farmers of
the United States S1,000,000 every
year. Soil losses from this cause occur
in every state of the Union and in al
most every county of every state. A
ton congress reported that 100000
acres of farm landshad been practically
ruined by soil erosion. So serious is
the condition that DR.. n. S. Shaler.
formerly dean of the Lawrence Scien-
tific school, was once moved to remark
that IF mankind cannot, devise and en-
force ways of dealing with the earth
which will preserve this source of life
we must look forward to the time
remote it may be, yet clearly discern
ible-when our kind, having wasted
It's greatest inheritance, will fade from
the earth because of the ruin it has ac-
cOmplished."
How Erosion Harms.
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 be-
comes barren and unproductive. Deep
guifies are formed which result in an
actual loss of land for cultivation, a
lowering of the water table and de-
ficient supply of moisture. Drainage
bitches are often filed up with sand,
which frequently results 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 gull
Hes, smaller crop yields each year, and
a continued decrease in the value of
the land. Some of the losses of $he
bottom farmer are the land covered to

DEFENDANTS FINED FROM $5
TO $1,000 ON LIQUOR CHARGES

Judge Woodrough Of Omaha, Neb.,
opened term of federal court at the
federal building in this city Monday.
1t is believed that the criminal cases
will end Saturday night when the civil
cases will start. Court is apt to last
most of next week.
A large number of those charged
with having liquor in their possession
unlawfully, pleaded guilty Tuesday
and were fined all the way from $5 to
81 100000 each.
The list of the accused and their
fines follows:
l.. c. Mills, charged with importing,
transporting and having unlawful pos
session Of liquor, fined $1,000.
James Jones, charged with same vi
olations, fined $1,000.
William Jones, charged with same
violations, fined $40.
Robert Murray, charged with unlaw-
full transporting and possession, fined
$500.
William Norris, charged same vio-
lations, $500.
Sam Loomis, charged same viola
tions, $780,
Roy Vaughn, char ged unlawful pos
session, fined $25.
Herbert Bum, charged unlawful
possession, fined $50.
William (Gilhooley) Kelley, charged
unlawful possession, fined $40.
Mabel Allen and Grace King, charg-
ed unlawful possession, fined $40
each.
William Kelley and Oser Webb en-
tered pleas of not guilty.
The cases against William Mayer
and Frank Rose for unlawful posses
sion did not come up.
Dudley l.. Nash appeared for the
accused in all the above cases.
Oser Webb, Minot negro, entered
a plea of guilty to having liquor in
his possession and was fined $4,000.
Webb usually carries a rabbit foot in
his vest pocket Most of the above
cases were due to the raid held by
government prohibition officers in Mi
not some weeks ago.
VIM. Mayer Of Council Bluffs, Ia,
who fell from an auto north of this
city about two weeks ago, while in a
running gun fight with prohibition Of
fcers, resulting in the breaking of his
collar bone, entered a plea of guilty
to transporting liquor and was fined
$500. Mayer at first denied that he
had anything to do with the traffic,
or the fight, stating that he Was
thrown out of the auto by his COM
panions.
Mrs. Emma L. Dairy, colored, from
Williston, entered plea of guilty to
having liquor in her possession. She
said she had none for sale but that
har roomars had soma in tho hO,,Sa
She was fined $500.

Lone Tree Man Charged With Es-
ninnape is Free

The case of Fred Harris, Lone
Tree farmer, who was charged with
espionage, was dismissed in federal
court by Judge Woodrough Wednes-
day. NJ. A. Hildreth appeared for the
government and L, J. Palda for the
defendant. Harris was tried once
before. the jury disagreeing. This
time, the attorneys moved for a di-
rected verdict. A number of witnesses
were examined to testify as to what
the defendant was supposed to re-
mark, alleging that he made disloyal
statements during the war. He was
charged with saying that the war was
all wrong and that he'd give thous-
and dollars toward revolution if one
started. Harris did not denv that he
thot the u S. wrong in going into the
war, but stated that he had never been
disloyal. He presented number of
war savings stamps to prove that he
had backed up the government in the
war.
