Written in simple language LOT
the person who raises farm AMI

issued by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, tells the
basic facts about heredity and how
live stock improvement may be
brought about. Under the title rs
sentials of Animal Breeding" this
publication places before farmers
and stockmcn information which
heretofore has been available chief
ly in books, many of them being
Of technical character.
Topics explained and illustrated
by the new bulletin include: Begin

For experienced breeders and for
others who desire more detailed in
formation than that contained in the
Farmers Bulletin, the department of
agriculture is preparing another bull
let1n entitled principles of Live
Stock Breeding" which goes more
deeply into the subject. This litera-
the "Better Sires-BetterJ Stock"
campaign, adds to the completeness
of the series OF government publ
cations pertaining to live stock rails
ing. In fact, the department is now
prepared. to furnish interested per-

(Here is the first instal1ment of a
valuable article telling of the won
derful opportunities confronting
farmers this season In furnishing
furs for a market featured by high
prices. This timely question will be
covered in three insta1lments pub
ished consecutive1y by The Tri-
weekly Journal.)
Farming of wild fur bearing ami
mails and the establishment of large
sanctuary tracts Is urged by the
United States department of agricul-
ture as the only sure means of pre-
serving the fur supply, which is be-
ing diminished to the vanishing
point Muskrats, skunks, foxes and
minks are among the animals which
can be successfully bred in captivity
or under conditions of semi-dome
cation
Decrease in the supply of fur
bearing animals in the United States,
coupled with vastly increased de-
domestication Of the ANIMALS and the
establishment of preserves where
they may be safe from molestation.
Unless fur bearing animals are
rigidly conserved, the biological sur
vey declares in department circular
100, the time is not lar away when
many of the more valuable species
will be exterminated and furs will
be worn only by the very rich. This
fact is said to be recognized by the
fur trade generally, and by individ-
uals who have made study of the
subject.
Directly or indirectly fur contrib
utes to the support or comfort of
large part of the population Of the
United States. We import as much
fur as we produce. In other words,
we could sell at home twice as much
fur as we are now producing, in adj
dition to the foreign demand.
Since 1914, the center of the fur
trade has been transferred to the
United States. The greatest fur sales
in history are now being held here,
and all branches of fur dressing, dye
ing and manufacturing are being sue
cessfully carried on by American en-
terpriseS.

Cherokee Cinners
Are Warned Not
To open Their Gins

CANTON, Ga, Oct 9-Ginners in
many sections of Cherokee county
have been warned to close their gins
until the price of cotton goes up.
Two more warnings were posted dur
ing the past week. In each instance
the owners were ordered to cease
operations until January l, 1921.
A notice was found on the gin
operated by Ex-Governor Joseph NJ.
Brown, at Cherokee mills, but Cover
nor Brown instructed his foreman
to continue to operate unless al the
other gins in the community closed
down. I. S. Stafford, owner of
gin in this city has closed his plant
as, the result of a warning that his
gin would 5e burned unless he ceased
operations.
The authorities are making, every
effort to apprehend the parties re-
sponsibie for the posting of warn
ings, but thus far no progress has
hapn rnane.

ter either to sink into the soil or flow
away slowly over the surface to q
drainage channel. If the rain water
were absorbed by the soil as fast as 1t
falls. there would be very little ero-
sion.
In order to drink up surface water
rapidly soil must be very permeable.
which means that 1t 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 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 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 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
either evaporates or is absorbed by
the soil. Contour blowing should in
variably be practiced in all bill lands.
The beginning Of great many glllies
is due to the practice Of blowing and
cultivating directly up and down the
slopes.

Terracing is the most effective
method of preventing erosion, and 1t
is doubly effective when 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
terrace. A field Of bench terraces re-

implies. are simply ridges Of earth

Soil erosion. or the washing away Of
earth by water, costs the farmers Of
the United States S1OO0,000 every
year. Soil losses from this cause occur
In every state of the Union and In al
most every county of every state. A
few years ago the National Conserva-
ton congress reported that 4.O0O,0O
acres of farm land had been practically
ruined by soil erosion. So serious is
the condition that DR.. N S. Shaler.
I 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 ii may be. yet clearly discern
ible-when our kind. having wasted
its greatest inheritance, will fade from
the earth because of the ruin 1t has ac-
complished."
How Erosion Harms.
Erosion Injuries or practically ruins
fertile lands in a number of ways. The
are washed away until the land be-
comes barren and unproductive. Deep
gullies are formed which result In an
actual loss Of land for cultivation. q
lowering Of the water table and a de-
f1cient supply Of moisture. Drainage
bitches are often filed up with sand
which frequently results In the flood ~
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
lies, smaller crop yields each year. and
a continued decrease in the value Of
the land. Some of the losses of the
bottom farmer are the land covered to
great depth with sand crops DAM
aged by overflows or deposits of sand.
q 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 adoption
of effective measures for stopping ero-
sion.
Causes and Forms Of Erosion.
Erosion is caused chiefly by the d.
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 a
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
thirty-two times. Rows that run up
and down the slope when cultivated
form small bitches that concentrate the
water anu increase the amount of ero-
sion.
Where the upper soil is washed quite
evenly from the 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 water flowing over
narrow strips Of ground. generally In
depressiens 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 1t very harmful. However. 1t
Is very destructive since 1t robs the
land of the surface soil which is known
to contain a higher percentage OF
humus and other essential elements of
fertility than the subsoil. 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 were employed to prevent sheet
washing few gullies would ever be
formed in q field. since sheet washing
finally develops into outlying.
