Soil Erosion Losses
in the Appalachians

Five million of the 50,0O0,000
acres of Piedmont country extending
from near New York city to central
Alabama along the east side Of
the Appalachian mountains, have
been essentially destroyed by soil
erosion as far as their use for crops
Is concerned, the United States De
partment of Agriculture says. In
addition to these 100000 acres
which have been ruined, more than
100000 acres have had the sur
face soil largely or completely
stripped off by erosion. Although
many farmers continue to cultivate
patches of this land, they are able
to make only the barest living. In
1924, when prices were much high
er than now, the gross income of
many families on these denuded
areas, where the family averaged
more than five members, was only
$500 a year. To prevent such ero-
sion destruction, the department
recommends terraces, tree planting,
strip cropping. brush dams to pre-
vent gullying, and similar practices

Branch Institutions Factor
in System.

London. - Branch banking, pro-
hibited in all except seven states of
the United States, is the chief OBJ
servable factor which distinguishes
British banking from banking in the
United States.
I Extension of this branch banking
has been the major development In
British banking during the last two
/ decades.
AS a result, FIVE big banks, usu-
ally referred to as the Big Five"
now have what amounts TO about
a 10 per cent monopoly of the Brit
ish deposit banking business.
Although there is no regulation
to that effect, the big Five" and
other British deposit banks, as
matter of general policy, hold practi-
cally no securities which are not of
the so-called trustee class. They
are chiefly gilt-edge government, mu-
nicipal and dominion stocks, all
readily realiZable In cash.
No Bank Examiners.
In the absence of official bank ex-
aminers the chief check on the
soundness Of a British Dank is the
annual audit, taken by recognized
certified accountants, appointed by
the stockholders at the annual meet
ing.
The Bankers Almanac and Year
Book lists only "a banks in England
and Wales, eight in Scotland, and
six in northern Ireland. A few of
them, like the Bank of England, op-
crate under royal charter.
OF these 3S banks, the Big Five"
own or control twelve. Thus, aside
from the Big Five" there are only
20 banks in England, Wales, Scot
land, and northern Ireland which are
actually listed as banks.
There are scores of other insti-
tutions which carry on the business
of banking, which would be classed
as banks in the United States. They
are institutions which deal in ex-
change operations, investment bank
ing. overseas banking or act as ad-
visers to foreign governments, but
which are not listed as real banks.
Morgan G. Co., Merchants"
Even Morgan -Grenfell, the London
branch of ]. P. Morgan & Co., are
listed by the Bankers Almanac as
merchants"
The SO listed banks have between
them almost 1900 main and branch
offices. The big Five" alone con.
troll about $500 of these branches,
through their own branches and the
branches of their affiliated banks.
There were many outcries against
the tendency to concentrate the
banking business in the hands of

Air Currents Are Now Made Visible

cording to Professor Magnan, can
be studied in the simplest man
ner by the injection of a warm-air
current into a cold area OF ambient
air, or the introduction Of a chilled
current into the warm air of room.
Professor Magnan's experiments
were conducted In his laboratory
with the use of a hot-air current
set In motion by the combination of
an electrical heater, back of which
was an ordinary hair dryer. The
blower of the hair dryer propelling
already warmed air through the red
hot wires of the little neater pro-
jected a steady current through the
much cooled ambient air in the
laboratory.
To make this column OF air Wis
ible Professor Magnan placed before
1t a nonsilvered mirror and a low
candlepower lamp of not more than
six volts. The propelling column of
warm air could be observed easily
in the pale light. The professor de-
clared currents could be measured,
observed and followed in their reac-
tions.

French Scientist Reveals New
Research Plan.

Paris.-Another scientific revolu-

Magnan, demonstrated tile optical
determination of air currents.
The air that surrounded the SCI
entists present, that flowed through
the windows or moved about their
papers and hands, could be seen
clearly, If subjected TO certain sim
pie conditions, Professor Magnan's
paper indicated.
Heretofore, the study OF air cur
rents always was carried ON through
coloration, such as introducing gases
or smokes easily visible TO the
naked eye. Professor Magnan dem
onstrated that the air itself. with.
out any other changes than its own
elements, could be studied with suf.

tical value, especially in aviation
and in the study of bird flight.

of the provincial cities and towns
protested in particular, claiming that
London headquarters would not con-
slider their interests sympathetically.
Objections were partially met in
many cases by retaining rne person
mel of the old banks in the branches
of the new.
British banks have been criticized,
especially in labor circles, for being
too cautious and too conservative,
for not taking risks for the sake
of accelerating industrial activity.
But now that the British public
has beard something of the effects
of the bank crisis in the United
States, even former critics are
praising the sagacity of the British
banker.

Distribution of Silage

To obtain an even distribution OF
silage an Illinois farmer has hit
upon a simple but effective device.
An ordinary pitchfork is bound
alongside the down pipe of the silo
filler, the tines pointing downward
and extending perhaps foot or six
teen inches below the end OF the
spout. Just above the tines a pole
is attached to the fork by means OF
a snap, ring, wire, clevis, or other
convenient means. This pole ex.
tends to the removable doors of the
silo, from which one man directs
the stream Of fodder about as nee.

been as good as that tramped by as
many as five men. Similar results
are reported from time to time by
other farmers.

Mr. Osborn has attacked the prob

the tri-fold point of view of the
regional distribution of the pop

ethnic. The distribution of intelli-
gencs. he finds. Is consistent and
significant when studied among re-

"On the whole" he concluded,
the index of cultural-lntellectual
development bears an inverse rela-
tion 10 the index OF fertility. But
the most important differences in
regional groups are TO be found be-

Sudan Grass Hot
Weather Pasture
Native of Africa, Produces
When Bluegrass Supply
Yields to Heat.
BY r. D. Lewis. Extension Specialist.
Ohio Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice-WNU Service.

Ability of Sudan grass, a grass
native to tropical Africa, to grow
during the hot weather of July and
August, makes 1t an ideal pasture
grass when bluegrass is at lowest
production.
Since the drought, of 1880, Ohio
farmers are turning in increasing
numbers TO Sudan grass as a source
of cheap feed. That year five acres
of Sudan grass at the Hamilton
county experiment farm furnished
pasture for % cows for 63 days.
A frequent cause of failure with
ii in this climate is too early seed
ing. According to the experiment
station tests of the crop one to two
weeks after corn planting time is
the earliest date that it should be
sowed.
A list of recommendations for
users of Sudan grass include:
Prepare the seedbed early and
thoroughly that moisture may be
stored and weeds killed.
Buy clean high-germinating seed
free from Johnson grass, a serious
weed pest.
Seed during June after the soil is
thoroughly warmed, at the rate of
20 to % pounds an acre.
Seed shallowly on firm seedbeds,
half to one inch deep on heavy
soils.
Apply $50 to 200 pounds Of su-
perphosphate fertilizer on manured
soils, or the same amount of 4-124
analysis on unmanured soils.
