it swarmed the cheering legions-

this early wagon trail, long but

one of Americas busiest cross

Trotting horses, harnessed to light

Spirits, gunpowder, glass, this
town makes them all. You see piles

share of racing luck-a much better

The suggested State laws would

President wrote, ito make the adop-

After asserting dust storms and
floods had ''underscored the i'm
portance of programs of control soil
erosion" the President said Federal
demonstration projects in isolated re-
gions could only point the way"
'The problem is further COM
plicated," he said, "by the fact that
the failure to control erosion on some
lands, particularly if such eroding
lands are situated strategically at the
heads of valleys or watersht ds, can
cause washing and blowing of soil
onto other lands, and make the con-
troll of erosion anywhere in the valley

added, the credible land in every
