Altitude Effect on Human Beings
Is Studied by Expedition in Andes

The effect of high attitudes on hu-
man beings is a problem to which
much research has been devoted.
Normal pressure at sea level Is about
IA pounds to the square inch. AS one
attains altitude, the outside pressure
diminishes and it Is necessary to be-
come acclimated to the change in
order that the pressure inside the
body may be equalized. II the pres
sure difference is increased too rapidly
the person encountering the change
is subject to the common ailment of
divers known as the bends. While
cases Of the bends are not common
in climbing to high altitude, the pres
sure change frequently results in
bleeding at the nose and ears.
DIR. Ross Mcfarland Of Columbia
University, department of psychology,
recently returned from South America.
where he made a study Of the effects
of high attitudes in the Andes Of
Northern Chile as a member of the
International High Altitude Expedi-
ton. The expedition was sponsored
by Harvard, Duke, Columbia and Chi
cago Universities and the Universities
of Cambridge and Copenhagen under
the leadership of DR.. D. B. Dill and
DR.. Ancel Keys Of the Harvard Fatigue
Laboratory:
The purpose of the expedition was
to analyze the physiological effects Of
very high attitudes and to analyze the
way in which human and animal or
ganisms adapt themselves after pro-
longed residence at high attitudes.
The 10 members Of the expedition
Evening star., 1936-03-29

disembarked early in May at Anto-
fagasta, Chile, where laboratory was
equipped on the Antofagasta Railroad.
The expedition stopped for several
weeks at various, attitudes to analyze
the changes in the blood and respira-
ton and the corresponding alterations
in the sense organs and nervous sys-
tenn.
Tests and measurements were made
at attitudes ranging from 5000 to
10000 feet. Members Of the expedi-
tion and natives served as the sub
jects, as well IS animals. The rail-
road passes through Chuquicomata,
which is 5000 feet, and reaches its
highest point at Collahuasi, which is
$500 feet above sea level. A stop
also was made at Ollague. which is
$4,000 feet. Highest observations were
made at Mount Auconquilcha at 1880
and 10000 feet, where the expedition
members compared their own reac-
tions to those Of the miners who work
at 10000 feet. Members of the ex-
pedition also studied the effects Of
sudden ascent to more than $4,000
feet on the trans-Andean planes of
the Pan-American Airways. Final
observations we're made at Cerro de
Pasco, in Peru, In collaboration with
DR.. A. Hurtado Of the medical de-
partment, University Of Peru. q.

layer made fragile and much less re-
sistant to erosion. The hidden con-
duits Of the soil, the passageways made
by earthworms and insects and plant
roots, have been effectively destroyed
or sealed up.
Surface Layer Planed OF.
mot being able to penetrate the
soil, an excess Of rainwater has flown
across cultivated slopes, picking up
the surface particles to carry them
away into the valleys and on to the
oceans. Proceeding with every rain
heavy enough to cause water to run
down hill, the humus- charged. rich
surface layer has been planed of
down to stiff clay or to unconditional,
unproductive sand or rotten rock. In
this way, l25,000,000 acres of the
land now in cultivation has lost all
or the greater part of its topsoil.
Tens of thousands of hard work
ing farmers are now tilling stubborn
clay subsoil that once was covered
with rich, mellow loan. The evil
of erosion is not threat of the
future to those operating on these
denuded areas. Here is a tragedy Of
the present-farmers without real
farmland, working from sunrise to
sunset to gain the barest subsistence.
Their homes and the ground about
them bear the unmistakable stamp
of poverty. Men and women and
children have been beaten down to
the lowly level of subsoil farming,
correctly called bankrupt farming on
bankrupt land"
At the outset, the Soil Conserva-
ton Service, now an agency of the
Department Of Agriculture, conducted
numerous experiments to determine
the best methods of combating ero-
sion in different sections of the coun-
try. Passing the experimental stage,
l4l demonstration projects" were
started in Al States.
These demonstration projects are
designed to show what can be done
by adhering to an erosion-resisting
technique and to encourage the farm
ers to follow similar methods in the
use of their land.
Rotation Of Crops.
Instructions are being given in the
proper rotation of crops and farmers
are being shown the desirability of
cultivating along the contour of the
slopes instead of running their rows
up and down hill, which obviously
Evening star., 1936-03-29

every day and night. year in and year
out.
This tremendous loss Of natural
wealth is not due to any single condi-
ton, nor can it be remedied by any
single cure. ...--- --
Stripped Of Binding Trees.
Improper farming methods, how
ever, have been a major cause, and
wanton cutting of timber, leaving the
mountains stripped Of the soil-binding
trees, has contributed its share.
Tests conducted near La Crosse.
Wis, in 1888 showed that II tons of
soil per acre were washed from land
Of average slope on which corn was
grown that year. In addition, % per
cent of all the rain that fell ran of
the fields in the direction of the Mis-
sissippi River. Where bluegrass was
grown the corresponding losses for
the same period amounted to only
per cent of the rainfall and only six
one-hundredths of one ton Of soil an
acre. These figures show that where
corn is planted the entire depth Of
top soil, representing the farmers
principal capital, would be washed
away in 80 years. But where blue
grass Is grown it would require
10000 years to carry of the same
depth of soil.
This illustrates the basic principle
on which the Soil Conservation
Service is operating-namely, that
land should be planted in crops to
which it is best adapted by nature.
In discussing the problem, Mr.. Ben
nett, in an article written for American
Forests, said:
Until recently there was but little
concern about this continuing deple-
ton of the land. That a process Of
nature, rainwater running wild. has
destroyed the equivalent of 100000
farms Of $50 acres each, for some
strange reason has impressed the Ma
ton as nothing to worry about. Sight
has even been lost of the fact that
all this violent chiseling away of the
land would not have taken place had
we not upset the normal order of
things by doing away with natures
stabilizers-the trees and grasses and
