In Texas the Texas black land
project has been started on the
water shed of Elm creek, in Bell,
Falls and Milan counties. The
project involves 100000 acres. 4
small project has been started at
Lindale, Duck Greek, Texas.
Bennett said that intensely
TILED crops such as cotton, corn
and tobacco were the chief causes
of soil erosion He observed that
IS per cent of the cultivated land
in the United States is on slopes
and subject to soil erosion.
1--WE have estimated that $780,
100000 worth of the most fertile
top soil is annually washed into
rivers" said Bennett.
Bennett emphasized that the
government is not trying to re-
claim land and thus put it back in
to cultivation, especially where a
large amount Of top soil has been
removed by rainfall. He said mis-
division was more interested IT
"puttinO it back into trees" He
also said that land removed from
cultivation could be used TO
bring a lot of game back"
One method Of stopping soil
erosion, Bennett observed, is TO
use stop cropping" This method
Is used on the more moderate
slopes. Alfalfa or clover is plant
ed in sections TO hold wash. In
adjacent sections. corn or cotton
is planted. With a series of such
sections the government has
found that soil erosion may be
checked substantially.
The black land of Texas where
''root-rot' rs prevalent in cotton
growing sections Bennett said,
presents a serious problem.

CHALLENGES
new DEAL
Gov. Ely Says Abandon
ment Would Bring
SPEEDY Recovery

NEW YORK. April 14.-lhe
New Deal yesterday received
stiff challenge froni Gov. Joseph
p Ely of Massachusetts, VINO
urged that the emergency meas
rres of the administration be
abandoned as quickly as possible
and announcement be made to
the nation that normal economic
and governmental habits would
be restored.
Addressing the New York
Roard of Trade, Governor Ely ex-
messed his convictions that were
such a move on thu part of the
administration published tomor-
row. the result would be speedy
recovery.
This speech is interpreted as
one of the most significant anti
New Deal utterances so far made,
for it comes from a member of
the presidents own party as well
as from one of the nations most
prominent political figures.
The governor expressed the
view that American business sis
now able and in a frame of mind
to assume a positive offensive
movement for the recreation of
fair and honest employment" He
uncompromisingly urged that the
present drift in government
whereby it is becoming the sup
port of the people rather than
supported by them, Re halted, and
confidence be placed in individual
initiative to finish tn" job Of pull
ing the nation out of the depres-
sion.
The announcement of such a
decision by the administration
would find the people ready to
sustain any temporary grief in
volved in the steady curtailment
of the pump-priming measures,
the governor said.
"The average workman" he
said, twill be happier performing
task that is real than one hand
ed out to him simply for the pur-
pose of giving him something to
do in order to exist.
"The great American frontier
is gone, but there is still one on
the border of every city.
eve have heard altogether too
much about the ability of Ameri-
can business to produce more
than the public requires" he went
on, "and too little about the pos
sibility of private initiative to fill
the gap. This world is not fin
ished product of civilization.
There are still plenty of open
spaces in this great land Of ours
and the millions of human beings
living a primitive existence thru
out the world furnish the posi-
bilitv of market for American
goods, which pioneers of the same
spirit and courage as the men VINO
built the West would find a way
to acquire for the products of
American factories"
To continue with the New Deal
program would have a defation-
ary effect on business, he indicat-
ed, since under the present ar
rangement public business is COM
peting with private business. To
end this condition he proposed
that the public construction pro-
gram be limited to the completion
of plans already formulated.
In making this proposal, the
governor expressed his apprecia-
ton of the difficulty involved in
shifting from "exhilarated bust
ness by public spending to private

have not been able to get Mrs.
O'Berry to play politics with
them in the administration of the
Emergency Relief administration.
This was even more true Wnen
she was head of the Civil Works
administration in the state and
when her organization was spend
ing millions where it IS now
spending only hundreds of thou
sands of dollars month. But
even at that. it is agreed that
there are plenty of small, local
politicians who would be glad to
get q hand in the spending of
the monthly county relief allot-
ments and who could use these
allotments to excellent political
advantage. especially with the
June primary growing nearer
every day. But all efforts on
the part Of these local politicians
to get control of the spending of
these relief allotments have fall
ed and are likely to continue to
fail as long as Mrs. O'Berrv re-
ma ms the head of the state relief
administration it is generally con-
coded.
But if some man with ''prac-
teal business experience" as
some have suggested, should be
made the head of the relief ad
ministration. and who would be
more amendable to persuasion by
local political leaders. certain po-
litical elements would like it
much better. 1t is almost an
open secret here that while the
CWA was at it's height, very
strong effort was made by some
admittedly powerful political
forces to secure the removal of
Mrs. O'Berry apparently in an
effort to secure the control of
! the CWA and use it to their po-
litical advantage. But the effort
failed, since certain state politi-
clans did not have as much in
fluence in Washington as they
are credited with having in North
Carolina.
1t is definitely known here,
however, that the action taken
BY the Salisbury labor union was
known in a city some So miles
from Raleigh and about the same
distance from Salisbury before
that action was taken and was
being predicted by some of those
credited with being aligned with
the former movement to remove
Mrs. O'Berry as head of the
! CWA. 1t is not understood how
any knowledge of the action that
was to have been taken by the
Salisbury labor union could have
been obtained in advance bv the
group that seemed to know it,
unless it was obtained through
political channels.
Another factor that does not
seem to jibe in with the situation
is that the relief wage scale for
Salisbury and Rowan county has
not vet been set up and APPROX
ed by Mrs. O'Berry and that the
scale recommended by the coun-
ty committee charged with deter
mining what the local pay scale
was and should be did not sub
NIT it's recommended scale until
day before Yesterday.
Il did not even know what
wage scale for Rowan county
! had been recommended until aft
er the Salisbury union had issued
its statement demanding my re-
moval," Mrs. O'Berry said today.
For the wage scale recommend

than fact in these tales about
the perennial old beauty. Her
youth has become a legend with
us, Just as the antics of Billy the
