EROSION A

nevertheless, according to Nature
Magazine Of washington, $780,
600, 900 are being stolen from the
American people, particularly the
farmer every year by one thief.
This culprit is erosion and the
total Of his thievery is set by Hugh
H. Bennett, soil scientist. He as
serts that soil erosion Is the most
important problem confronting the
conservation of our national re-
sources. Millions Of tons Of rich
soil are carried away every year,
Mr.. Bennett points out, and the
United States is far behind most
nations OF the world in soil con-
servation. Forest growth IL one
of the most important factors in
preventing erosion and we must
not forget that we have laid waste
