This is decrease of 43.7 per cent

Gullies are source OF great loss
to the farmer. They rum fertile
land, interfere with farm operations,
undermine buildings, encroach on pub
lie roads, endanger the life of stock
and mar the beauty and lower the
market value of the farm. They can
be prevented by increasing the alb
sorptive capacity of the soil by till
ing. protecting the surface from
erosion by proper cultivation, and by
conducting the surplus water from
the field at low velocity. Gullies
can be reclaimed by plowing-in and
seeding to grass or timber, or by
building soil-saving dams that check
erosion and cause the filling Of the
gully with silt.
In checking outlying, the first thing
Is to stop it at the head. II possible,
