LOSS THROUGH SOIL EROSION

the other protected from erosion by

Reforestation and terracing were
represented as effective methods OF
checking erosion, and grass-covered

organic matter were shown to be
more resistant to erosion than bare
or sandy lands.

Prohibition Director Wynne of the
Philadelphia district announced June
27 that an agreement had been
reached with nine railroads operating
through the Philadelphia territory
that every means would be employed
by railroad officials to prevent the
use of their cars in illegal liquor
shipments in return for the promise
to stop confiscating their cars.
Wynne hailed this as great step
toward prohibition enforcement.
He said the plan had SO impressed
James M. Doran, prohibition COM

his agreement to other dry admins

the suggestion that they attempt to
reach a similar understanding with

Experts have found that it takes
more work to produce an acre OF to-
bacco than any other crop. An acre
of Burley tobacco yielding from 500
to 1000, pounds requires, for grow
ing and for preparing for the mar
ket, all the way from $50 to 400
hours of labor. Cotton in the East
ern States takes from 100 to l25
hours of work per acre where the
yield of land is from $50 to 200
pounds. Potatoes take from IS to
100 hours per acre. In the corn
belt where large machines are used
in level fields a bushel of corn can
be produced with about 80 minutes
labor, but in the Southern States it
takes about 2 IL hours to produce
a bushel of corn. The crops which
take the most work are cotton, to-
bacco, sugar beets, potatoes, fruit,
and truck crops. Corn, the grain
sorghums, and peanuts require less
work. Hay and small grain crops
are usually produced with the least
labor.

Lost His Appetite

Squirrels were an important item of
diet among the Indians Of Oregon in
early pioneer days. And then, as now,
they were pest and poisoned wheat
was used to kill them in an attempt
to prevent them from destroying
grain and garden truck. One day an
old Indian saw squirrel in tree
and pointed his old muzzle loader at
it, and smacked his lips in anticipa-
ton of squirrel stew, but fate inter-
vened. Before he could pull the trig-
ger the squirrel fell out Of the tree,
rolled over on the ground and expired.
The Indian was somewhat flabber-
gasted. He felt that he had come
perilOusly near to eating a poisoned
squirrel and thereupon promptly lost
his appetite for squirrel stew.-Path-

WORDS OF WISDOM

Here are words of wisdom and
truth uttered by the Attorney Cen
eral of the United States.
There is no substitute for vir-
tue"
"Too much emphasis has been put
ON the desire to rule and too little
on the obligation to obey"
''An obedient nation would pos
sess supreme power"
Neither political nor industrial
democracy can relieve mankind from
the requirements of obedience"
There can be no basis for society
on the theory that person may
claim the protection Of the laws, and
yet refuse all obedience of the laws.
what is the difference between
an attack on the flag and an attach
on the thing the flag stands for?"

law is private as well as public
duty"

THE REASON FOR ACCIDENT
PREVENTION WORK

Although the direct money cost
due to industrial accidents is enor-
nous, indirect costs run into much
larger figures.
When workers are injured, pro-
duction is interrupted and machines
become idle, involving maintenance
of plant without return. New work
ers must be employed and supervis-
ed at cost to the employer, and the
loss due to their inexperience consti-
tutes an item of material expense.
1t is estimated that the total loss
resulting from injury of a worker
amounts to four times the actual
outlay for compensation.
Aside from the financial loss to
employers due ito industrial acct
dents, the want and suffering often
caused to families of injured work
ers cannot be computed in dollars
and cents.

the first edition Of the King Edward

London in 1549 in a New York book
shop recently, and presented it to the
Washington cathedral library. Rev.
G. F. G. Bratenahl, dean Of the ca
thedral. accepted the gift with thanks
on behalf of the bishop of Washing
ton and the cathedral chapter. In his
informal speech he gave an outline of
the history of the King Edward VI

to the fact that this prayer book was
not only the first prayer book printed
in English, but the first prayer book
ever compiled as such.

FRIDAY, JULY Is, 1927

Attention is called by DR.. Frank
lin B. Bomberger, Director OF the
Marketing Bureau, of the Del-Mar-
Va Eastern Shore Association, to. the
fact that two counties on the PENN
sula now stand first and second
among the Maryland counties in the
number of sheep on farms. Queen
Anne's county leads with something
more than 10000 sheep, and Talbot
is second with slightly over $4,000.
Sheep raising on the Peninsula,
according to DR.. Bomberger, is max
ing decided gains. The fact that
the two Eastern Shore counties men
toned have jumped into the lead as
principal sheep producing counties
of the State, since the 1920 census,
gives indication of the progress.
