THERE is a sharp difference be-
Il tween use of soil and waste of
soil. I have seen fields in England
that have been in constant use for
more than 500 years where the soil
is as productive today as in the be-
ginning. l also have seen fields in
southern Indiana that first we're
plowed and put in crop in 1918 that
today will not return the seed, the
result of soil erosion.
The poor hill farmers of this
area have a saying describing such
a condition, which. unfortunately
for all of us. they do not know how
to control or correct.
1t is, We'll. its time to take the
fences down around that field and
turn it back to God" In that they
place too much dependence on the
Creator; it took several milleniums
TO make the humus soils on their
farm with the help of generation
after generation of trees.

SO here, as its first activity We
find our foresters going through
the timber, cutting down the dross,
the weed trees, the fire damaged
and rotten trees, the criminal veg
citation left after we human beings
took out the stalWarts. The first
step in forestry management is to
get rid of the worthless scrub that
only takes up space for no final
useful purpose.
I find six well-def1ned activities
outlined in the minds of our eff
cient state forester, Ralph Wilcox,
and his no less efficient helpers,
Joe Kaylor, William Miller, Clar-
ence Griffith, Albert Foley and Her
schell Woods.
First, destruction of weed trees
and their use for fuel.
Second, cutting of over-mature
valuable trees for lumber to be used
in housing the forestry army.
Third, allowing dead and worth
less timber to decay on the ground
where it is felled to enrich the soil.
Fourth, strategic use of brush piles
to increase game cover and to fur
nish nesting places.
Fifth, replanting valuable timber
for repleniShing the forest and to
cover badly eroded and gully washed
areas
Sixth, cutting fire lanes to pre-
vent the spread of forest fires.
a BOOK can be written on each
L n of the above phases of forest
management. There being a very
definite purpose behind each of
these correlated activities, let us de-
vote a moment to explain the most
important.
Watershed protection. Under this
heading lie all the soil erosion pre-
ventive activities. Like a man
specter of a squandered past, soil
waste by erosion rises on every hand
in Indiana to point its nightmare
finger to the cause of our increasing
rural poverty in the Indiana hill
lands. ChinaS "Shensi province" of
starving millions is the final answer
to this bitter accusation.
Water poured on tin roof i'm

Of straw Or leaves over the roof and

Soil erosion in the bad lands" of
the DakotaS, where no tree or shrub
is growing. take eight inches of soil
away per annum with the average
rainfall. The same rain falling on a
heavy blue grass sod takes eight
inches of soil away in 4,985 years
Falling on a well foreSted area, 1850
years elapse before eight inches dis
appear.
The records in our own forestry
department show a loss of eighteen
inches of top soil on one acre of
barren hill land in Morgan county
in one season.

The railroad commission, now
known as the corporation commits
sion, is without a function. These
commissioners are mere pensioners,
drones, parasites. There are many
useless jobs which ought, by all

The highway patrol should be abol-

motorist from one state is seized
upon by a patrolman in another
state, and forced to buy that

and seizes upon him and forces him
to buy that states license, and so

that they can hardly loan

hands that they can hardly loan
my more money with safety.
With several million farmers
struggling to keep above water and
save their farms it would seem
the sensible thing to do something
to help them out.
Yet, the Senate bill simply pec.
vides more mortgage money anu
also lets down the bars to second
mortgages. How does that help
the farmer who can't pay his pre-
sent interest money?
To be sure the idea is that this
money may enable farmers to re-
finance at a lower rate, but the
trouble is that they are over-mort-
gagged now and can't refnance. ,
1t is rather generally agreed that
the farm property in the West and
South is not worth the $4,000, 0O0,-
900 it is already mortgaged for.
Just what the idea is of piling an
other billion, from government
funds, On top of that is not clear.
According to the stories from
the West there are thousands and
thousands of farmers in danger of
losing their homes. What they need
is some relief from the mortgage
burden.
The same bill provides for the
taking over of the Joint Stock
Land banks by the government.
Many of these are virtually bank
rupt. Their bonds representing
mortgages are selling at from 20
cents to so cents on the dollar in
many cases. Is the government to
make good the heavy losses to the
holders out of the Treasury?
1t would seem that we should
find some way to relieve the mort
gage load on the farmers rather
than add to it.

criminal aspects of the case, the
hunt for Samuel Furnace over there

hundreds of private dwellings

WHY CONTINUE TO


To The Editor:
Why do people continue to Dor
row money to farm with when the
crop won't pay expenses? The
farmer hat borrows money to farm
with is like the frog in the we'll,
climbs up two feet in the day and
falls back three at night. The
frog will get out as soon as the
farmer will.
This farmer is cutting his throat
and his neighbours throat, also.
with overproduction by borrowed
money.
1t is said a drowning man will
catch at a straw, and that is what
the farmer is getting nowadays for
his labor. The farmer is the back
bone of the world, but he cannot
carry this load of taxes anothe,
year. Farmers eat the worst, weal
the worst, lie down last and get ut
first. Ten years ago a man with
land was rich. Today a man witt
land is poor. I, for one, will neve.
want any more land at any price
as long as the rent won't pay the
taxes. 1t takes a long time to con-
vert some people, but I guess wher
they pay that money" back with
which they borrowed in 81 and ~
they will have reached the promis.
ed land where the milk and honey
flows free. There is only one way
to succeed-never spend a dollar
till you get it. Do not count
chickens until they are Matched. A
few years ago we were caught
thrift. Today we are asked tt
spend our savings. One genera.
ton makes the money and anothe
spends it. Now, ask yourself which
class are you in, and don't all speal
at once. Our leaders are making
debts that our grandchildren vii
not be able to pay in their day
Why don't hard times stop then
long enough to think?

CLEMENT FOR GOVERNOR

Much water will have to pass
under the political bridge before
the gubernatorial primary four
years hence. Business and econo-
mic conditions may become better
or worse. In either event the need
of a strong and capable governor
is self evident to the voters Of this
state. The Chief Executive must
be a man who will be able to see
through the gathering clouds that
obscure the stern realities of his
administration. Moreover, he must
be a leader who will lead and not
follow; one who viii not be sway
ed by popular clamor or ill-advised
action. Rowan County has given
such men to the service of the
state in the past and The Carolina
Watchman believes that such a
splendid type is to be found in our
fellow townsman, State Senator
Hayden Clement.
Hayden Clement, if elected,
would be one of North Carolina
greatest governors. He possesses
extraordinary ability. He is far
sighted, conservative without be-
ing reactionary, capable, firm
familiar with the real problems
facing the state, and above all,
fearless and honest. Of those al
ready mentioned as possible can
didates for governor we believe
Rowan's senator to be the mos
outstanding. The Waterman is of
the opinion that the people of the
Tar Heel state will do we'll to pause
and consider this man before CIV
ing their political support to any
other candidate for governor.
