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

ID ASSED as a substitute for the AAA,
L the "Soil Conservation and Domestic
Allotment Act" signed by the President
on March 1, 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 i'll 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 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 1885, 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,o97 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, 54022o
acres, and total of 5I3.o74,2oI acres
had been robbed of from one-fourth to
three-fourths of its top soil, 1t is esti-
mated that 3,ooo,ooO,ooo tons of soil are
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
OOO,OoO,OOO.
This destruction of rich food and
fibre producing resources indeed consti-
tutes national calamity. 1t demanded
national action. The new act of Congress
deals directly with the problem. 1t seeks
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
tional resources; protect rivers and har-
bors against the results of erosion so as
to aid flood control and maintain naviga-
bility.
And finally, it seeks TO re-establish the
Terraced along contours, this North
attendant waste.

ITO continue the benefits secured
l. for Virginia tobacco growers under
the acreage control provisions OF the
AAA, the Legislature of Virginia early
in March adopted a bill creating state
Tobacco Commission and providing for
the regulation OF the sale, marketing and
distribution of tobacco.
The new act will not become effec-
tive until the Congress of the United
States has passed an act conserving to the
establishment of -compacts between the
governments of the various tobacco
growing states. After such federal recog
milton the Virginia act becomes effective
with respect to fire cured tobacco upon
the enactment of similar measure by
the legislatures of the states of North
and South Carolina and Georgia; with
respect to hurley, upon similar action in
North Carolina, Kentucky and IenneS-
see and i'm respect to dark air-cured to-
bacco, upon action by Kentucky ana
Tennessee
Equalization Fee Principle
The control method set up in the Vir-
ginia measure follows closely the old
equalization fee principle, advocated ma
tionally a number of years ago 1t pro-
vides for the fixing of a marketing quota
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
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. In add-
ton, he will receive an increase in yield
of crops produced The county agricul-
tural agent of Yancey County, N. c.,
has surveyed this latter possibility and
concludes that over 100000 annual in
creased crop income will be the mmc-
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, so 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-
edy of China dramatizes Enthusiastically
the effect of unchecked soil waste on an
entire country.
In final summarization of the plan
of the new act, Secretary Wallace states.
II believe that under this new program,
we can do a more constructive job of
putting a firm physical base under our
civilization than has ever been done BY
any great nation with continental eli
mate"

Phyllis. She smiled back
at him, but he knew she
had been amusing Connie

count of their quarrel

had probably been very
funny.
It made him mad. so

Brady Hits With Vigor.

HARDY's interception was thing
= Of beauty, the lanky center taking
the ball in the style of an outfielder
and lateraling to Nolan at the precise
moment. 1t required two minutes to
bring to consciousness the would-be
tackler who was knocked out by
Brady.
Nolan, on his 82-yard run that fol-
lowed, simply weaved into the clear
and dug. Riofski took his intercept
tion out of Isaa's arms like a Cardini
and ran more like q halfback than q
sub center.
The statistics, in light Of these self
explanatory touchdowns, failed, and
righteously, to give Georgetown over
whelming superiority. West Virginia
made 10 first down to seven, but only
one was gained by rushing. George
town threw four passes and two con-
nected for 16 yards.
West Virginia heaved ~ and nine
