tutes national calamity 1t demanded

to:
Preserve and improve soil fertility;
promote the economic use and conserva-
ton of land diminish the exploitation
and Wasteful and unscientific use of ma
tlonal resources; protect rivers and har-
bors against the results of erosion so as
to aid flood control and maintain naviga-

And finally, it seeks to re-establsh the
ratio between the purchasing power of
tanners and OF people not on FARMS
which prevailed during the five year pc
Rod, August 1909 to July 1914.
Individual Grants

Methods of checking and stopping soil
erosion on individual farms include ter

in some cases, reforestation. Economic

farmers to produce cash crops that not

AAA Substitute Aimed to Hit
Fundamental Farm Problem
BY II. r. KILLER

ID ASSED as a substitute for the AAA.
the Soil Conservation and Domestic
Allotment Act" signed by the President
on March /. strikes directly at the fun
damental national farm problem. 1t
seeks to end the terrific annual national
loss from soil erosion In this respect,
it follows the permanent original inten-
ton of the AAA plan.
Interest in the temporary phase of the
AAA, especially the immediate benefits
to be secured through evaporation of
farm SURPRISES and the resulting higher
farm commodity prices had rather OBJ
scured this longtime purpose which had
contemplated establishment of a wise
land use to check the drain on the food
resources of the nation.
Exhaustion of new land areas for
farming development. countrywide soil
survey, and the dramatization of erosion
by the choking. binding dust storms that
swept over half the nation in the summer
of 1895, has brought city jewellers as
well as farmers to the consciousness of
the necessity for national soil conserva-
ton policy.
National Action Demanded
The soil survey disclosed erosion had
DESTROYED 5I,465,oo7 acres of land for
further use in crop production. In addi-
ton, it was found that practically all of
the top soil was lost from los, 540229
acres, and a total of 5I3,o74,2oi acres
had been robbed of from one-fourth to
three fourths of it's top soil, 1t is csti-
mated that 5000, 100000 tons of soil arc
washed out of our fields and pastures
every year with loss of not less than
I26,ooo,ooo,ooo pounds of plant food.
The value OF nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash lost amounts annually to 81
tNO,OOO,OOO.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-04-08

figures OH pounds of soil lost per acre
from these plots show that from given
number of gallons of rainfall per acre,
bare plots lost So, 522 pounds of soil per
acre; cotton plots Bias pounds; corn
plots 1852 pounds, while on lespedeza
plots the loss was 2,s56O pounds and on
Bermuda grass plots only 262 pounds.
Secretary Wallace Explains
| ndcr the tW0year or temporary plan
of the new Soil Conservation Act, pay
mentS will be made to producers for
treatment or use of land for soil restora-
ton, conservation or erosion prevention;
also for changes they make i'll the use of
their land and for the percentage of their
normal production of one or more dcsig-
mated commodities equal to the normal
national percentage required for domes-
tic consumption,
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is
quoted directly on this phase of the pro-
gram as follows: Payments will be
made for the growing of erosion-prevent-
ing and soil-building crops of which
there is no surplus, rather than soil-de-
pleting cash crops, of which there is a
surplus. That is, farmer who wishes to
put larger proportion of his farm into
such crops as legumes and grasses and a
cofrespondingly smaller proportion into
such crops as cotton. wheat, corn and
tobacco will be compensated by the gov
eminent for so doing Without some
compensation, many farmers could not
afford to sacrifice any of their acreage
Terraced along contours, this Nortt
attendant waste.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-04-08
of cash crops. .
How Farmer Benefits

Thus, the farmer will be benefited
by direct payments for the development
of soil conservation practices. AT the
same time, he will be building and con-
serving the value of his farm LIN add
ton, he will receive an increase in yield
of crops produced. The county agricul-
tural agent OF Yancey County, n. G.,
has surveyed this latter possibility and
concludes that over 100000 annual III
creased crop income will be the lmme-
date reward to farmers in that county
resulting from the soil improvement and
conservation program. Estimated crop
increases are: Corn, bushels per acre;
wheat, $ bushels; oats, IS bushels; to-
bacco. I22 pounds; potatoes, 50 bushels,
and hay IL ton.
But the protection and conservation of
our national food production resources,
is of consequence to the entire nation and
not to the farmer alone. The stark trag
cdv of China dramatizes Enthusiastically
the effect of unchecked soil waste on al
entire country.
In final summarization of the plan
of the new act, Secretary Wallace states:
Il believe that under this new program,
we can do a more constructive job of
putting firm physical base under our
civilization than has ever been done BY
any great nation with continental eli
