SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, April 2.-Is
the .'Hillbilly," with his superstitious
his weird remedies and his hoe-down
dances, an asset or q liability to the
Ozarks Mountain region of Missouri

Should he be apologized for like a

nized for his quaint individuality?
These questions have created a
furore.
1t all started when a Springfield
committee began securing the hills for
examples of hillbilly culture-ballads
square dances, singing schools, play
parties, religious forms. superstitious
beliefs and clothes-for a folklore
festival April 17-18. Best specimens
are to be entered in a national festival
at st. Louis the last week of this

FIGHT ON EROSION
Will Dam Streams and Plant
Trees to Save Land From

DIES MONIES. April ITO pre-
vent rich farm lands from going down
to sea, youthful Conservation Corps
workers will fight the forces OF ma
ture this Spring in the Mississippi
Valley.
The fight, officials say, is for the
benefit of generations yet unborn.
The boys will plant millions of trees
and dam small streams in six States
to curtail erosion. Conservationists
say erosion. in which water carries
soil into the Mississippi and thence
out to sea, is gradually denuding thou
sands of acres of farm land.
Planting trees, besides holding the
soil in place. lessons the menace of
floods. 1t attacks the menace at its
source.
Will Plant L0custs.
Illinois c. C. c. men already have
started work, and more than three
and one-half million black locusts
will be planted in that State this
month.
Iowa will plant 100000 seedlings
mostly in Southern Iowa, v. s. Peter
son, Iowa erosion technician, said to-
day. Foresters working with C. c. c..
camps plan extensive soil erosion work
in Southeastern Minnesota. five
Northwest Missouri camps will con-
centrate on similar projects. and
Nebraska erosion directors contem-
plate tree-planting program.
Tree planting will be part Of a
100000 conservation project in Coon
Greek watershed south of La Crosse,
Wis. by the c. c. C. and the Federal
soil erosion service. Either other
c. C. c. companies will concentrate
on building dams. but will do some
tree planting on privately owned
lands.
Iowa's conservationists will con-
struct 10000 dams on $500 farms In
the slx-month period Just begun.
Peterson said. These dams will pro-
vide erosion and flood control bene-
fits to 100000 acres of farm land,
he said.
During the seven-m month period just
closed, $4,000 dams were constructed
to benefit 100000 acres.

FROM THE PRESS BOX
Rudy Dn,ek's Bank account answers
the Question: "Why Is a Wrestler?"
BY JOHN I.ARDNER.

"Prizefghters are suckers" he rea-
sons ST tried their racket for couple
of years and know. They get punch
drunk. I never saw a punch-dru
wrestler. Wrestlers get marked up a
bit, but they know how to fall and
take punishment easily.
"They keep in shape, too. Most
Of them eat one meal a day, and
that comes at least eight hours
before the bout in the evening"
In his progress from town to town
Che prefers to wrestle in the East be-
cause he saves money on the short
railroad hops), Dusek fights the same
people over and over again. He knows
it is dangerous to beat up an Italian
before an Italian crowd, German in
a German house, and so on. The
crowds get riotous, and the winning
wrestler is likely to be showered with
glassware as he passes under the bal
cony to his dressing room.
Some of the men Dusek wrestles
are his friends. Some he doesn't care
for, and some are strangers or casual
acquaintance. He treats them all
alike.
I'm = rough worker" he ad-
mitted. People like that"
The outcome of bout, whether de-
termined in the ring or beforehand, is
of slight Importance to most wrestlers
They have a simple task, to exhibit
their art to different audiences in diff
ferent towns. The good performers
are well paid for doing this.
MY big year was 1884," said Mr.
Dusek. Il paid tax on $53,000."
That sum Of money constitutes a
pretty good explanation of why wrest-
lers do what they do.
