! NEW YORK, Dec. 1S-The coun.
( trys natural resources are diminish
ing with appalling rapidity," DR.. Wal
ter Lowdermilk, soil conservation di-
rector of the Agriculture Department
said today, under the "onslaughts OF
vigorous people equipped with high
powered machines"
DR.. Lowdermilk, addressing the an
nual meeting Of the Christian Rural
Fellowship, said a general erosion sur
vey had disclosed "stupendous de-
struction OF the original soil resources
Already in the short space of time
in the possible life of our Nation" he
said, water and wind erosion has de-
stroyed for further cultivation approx.
mately 100 million acres of good farm
ing lands. Such vast acreage Is
| approximately equal to the area of al
the New England States and in addi-
ton New York and Pennsylvania.
Amount Destroyed.
"Of this great area 81 million acres
or an area equal to the State of Kan
sas, have been so cut up with gullies
as to destroy their future utility for
cultivated crops. Wind erosion has
seriously damaged and rendered USE
less for cultivation fully 100000
acres
We have riotously poured forth our
oils, mined our minerals, destroyed our
forests, reduced or exterminated our
game and fish. with little effort at
longtime planning or conservation. y
The soil conservation program
initiated in 1885 marked the be-
ginning, he said, of an effort to find
the way Of social Righteousness in the
use of soil resources"
Denounces Tenancy System.
DR.. Arthur Raper, rural specialist
OF the Commission Of Interracial CO.
Operation, denounced the South's
farm tenancy system in both its So
clal and its economic aspects.
THE cotton plantation crescent.
stretching from Eastern Virginia to
Western Texas, includes the richest
farm lands in the South" he said
Here live the largest number of
Americas poorest and most dependent
landless families. -
The plantation system stands four
times condemned before the southern
people in their efforts to achieve an
abundant life: 1t impoverishes the
farm tenants and wage hands: it de-
pletes the soil; it disinherits the
plantation owners; and it robs the
small owners of independence.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace ad-
dressed the fellowship at a closed
meeting tonight. Only the topic of
his speech, Ethics Of the Land" was
made public
The fellowship is composed of rep
resentatives of missionary and other
Christian agencies carrying on rural
and agricultural work both in the
United States and overseas.
