That Is a challenging statement. 1t
would seem, therefore, to be the part
Of wisdom for the Government and the
people of the United States to adopt
every possible method to stop this loss
and begin to rebuild soil fertility.

we are already active in our efforts to
retard and prevent soil erosion, and
by the more intelligent use of land to
build up its crop, its pasturage and its
tree producing capacity.
