AS n source or iron, potatoes are
equal to whole cereals and eggs when
properly cooked. The potato con-
tains but n small amount of one type
of building material which is very i'm
portant; that is nitrogen; but the
amount seems to equal the average
amount found In cereals, on the basis
of the usual servings.
Although potatoes and cereals have
good supply Of lime and phosphor-
us, they should not be depended upon
as source Of these minerals. AS
lime and phosphorus are needed for
building bones and teeth as well as
regulating the body processes. they
should be supplied from milk. eggs le-
gumes.
One great advantage that potatoes
have over cereals is that they help to
keep the fluids of the body neutral or
slightly alkaline, because of the potas-
stun they contain. Those foods which
have an alkaline reaction In the ts-
sues seem to furnish better health 20

ments have proved that the -oss of

methods of preparing potatoes are by

Soil erosion. or the washing away of
earth by water, costs the farmers OF
the United States $1,OOO,0OO 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 100000
acres of farm land had been practically
ruined by soil erosion. So serious Is
the condition that DR.. N. S. Shaler,
formerly dean of the Lawrence Scien-
tific school. vas 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 mus. look forward to the time
remote 1t may be, yet clearly discern
ible-when our kind, having wasted
its greatest Inheritance. will fade from
the earth because of the ruin it has &C.
complished." ss
How Erosion Harms.
Erosion Injuries or practically ruins
fertile lands in a number Of ways. The
upper and most fertile parts Of the soil
r washed away until the land be-
comes barren and unproductive. Deep
gullies are formed which result in an
actual loss of land for cultivation, a
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 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
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
a great depth with sand crops dam
aged by overfl0ws or deposits of sand,
a 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 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 Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1920-10-22

rer 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 ero-
sion.
In order to drink W surface water
rapidly a 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 it can be stored temporarily.
Some soils are naturally very perme-
able. A number of ways of increasing
the permeability of a soil are deep
blowing, blowing under organic mat
ter such as manure, stubble, stalks and
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 we the surface,
giving the soil a 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 a shallow trough is made above
each row. Most of the rain water Is
caught and held in this trough until 1t
either e%vaporates or Is absorbed by
the soil. Contour blowing should in
variably be practiced in all hill lands,
The beginning of a great many gullies
is due to the practice of blowing and
c%ultivating directly up and down the
slopes.
T~erracinQ.
Terracing Is the most effective
method of preventing erosion, and II
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
sembles a series of benches or q flight
of steps. Ridge terraces, as the name
implies, are simply ridges of earth
