SOIL EROSION
SURVEY MADE
Several Farms Visited in Con-
nection With Study of
Erosion Control
WIND EROSION IN KENT

A survey of the project area in
erosion control under the supervi-
sion of the Soil Conservation Ser
vice of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in the vicinity
of Newark, Delaware, was made
on Monday by Kent County Agent
Russell E. Wilson in company with
r. Harry Wilson, Laurence E. Cain
and G. Arthur Taylor of the Kent
County Agricultural Conservation
Association. Several farms were
visited in the northern section of
New Castle county on which con-
tour farming and strip-cropping
methods are being practiced as
means of preventing soil erosion by
water. This erosion control work
is being conducted under the direc-
ton of Richard S. Snyder, state
coordinator, who accompanied the
Kent county representatives on
this inspection tour and explained
how the construction of terraces is
preventing surface water from cut
ting bitches and gullies in fields on
hillsides. These terraces are so
constructed as to permit these
fields to be titled by the contour
farming method. Although Kent
county is not confronted with the
problems of hillside water erosion,
except in possibly a small area in
the northern section, there is a de-
cided wind erosion problem in the
southern area where the soil is
more sandy and is easily blown
about by high winds. In view of
this situation the extension service
of the University of Delaware in
cooperation with the Soil Conser-
walton Service, the Agricultural
Conservation Program and the
Farm Security Administration is
planning to establish few erosion
control demonstrations in Kent
county during the coming year. In
the meantime a survey will be
made of the county to determine
those areas in which such a pro-
ject is needed, also to select those
farms which present these prob
lens of either water or wind ero-
sion. This soil conservation pro
gram is an important phase of our
national agricultural defense, and
is one in which every farmer
should be interested from the
standpoint of saving soil fertility
and practicing of better farming
methods. This wind erosion con
troll project has been started in the
Paradise Alley section near FELTON,
where arrangements have beer
made to do some strip cropping or
the farm of w. S. Biddle, and other
farms will be selected as the occa.
sion arises and the need exists fol
erosion control. This demonstra.
ton is a cooperative affair between
the county agricultural agent, the
Farm Security Administration
through its local representative
Chester ]. Tyson, and the Soil Con
servation Service.

The What-Not
Shelf

You never can tell about a pious
face and angelic mannerl Some
times they surprise you. We know
of just such a person who, upon
making a wrong turn in his auto,
used profanity with gusto, and
ragged for fully ten minutes. Well
you never can tell-until the little
angel lets off steami
One thing about a trip to the
Worlds Fair-it's a fool-proof test
of a persons disposition. If you
can smile graciously, let honey drip
from your mouth after treking
several hundred thousand miles
you pass the test with highest
honors- and win Superman but
ton to pin on your coat.
We hesitate to admit it, but our
biggest thrill at the Fair was not
the regular educational, you-must
see-it stuff. No indeed-it was
something much higher and more
uplifting ~ the parachute jump!
The ascension to the top of the
tower was simple enough, for we
settled back, pretended great brav-
ado, and waved cheerily to the
Others, until they became mere
blobs of color. Even then we felt
fine, looking with eagle eye upon
the fair grounds below. Suddenly
and without warning, the chute
reached the top, and was released
with a jerk. Our stomach made a
ten-second tour of our anatomy
then got stuck somewhere around
the throat. Only grim determine
ton sent it back to its normal
abode. Down we went, faster and
faster, reaching terra firma with a
resounding thud, and a sickly smile
for our friends. We Immediately
launched into an enthusiastic dis
cussion on the indescribable thrills
of parachuting. Our friends sim
ply gave us a fishy eye.

Stories of Horatio Alger
Are Popular at Harvard

Harvard men seem to be the only
ones around Boston who still read
the stories of Horatio Alger Jr. The
newsboys, about whom Alger used
to write, are little interested. AT
the Burroughs Newsboys' foundation
in Boston the members prefer Tar
IAN.
Alger, who died in 1899 at Natick,
Mass, at the age of Ct years, was
graduated from Harvard in 1852.
The Harvard library has about Is
titles, many the gift of the author,
writes Mary Elizabeth Prim in the
Boston Transcript. They circulate,
too, and are slowly gaining in popu-
larity. Records show that the books
seldom went out in the 1920s, but
have been in demand during the last
few years.
The librarians can't figure whether
this is due to loyalty to fellow
alumnus or a belated interest in the
methods of the newsboys and others
in the street trades about whom
Alger wrote with such gusto. All
Ayers lads had one thing in COM
mon. They made lot of money
and made it quickly. The Alger
heroes were honest and eager, but
they certainly got the breaks.
There was invariably rich, kindly
old gentleman to make them junior
partners.
There are a number of Ayers
books in the Boston Public library,
including his Harvard class ode, but
none of them circulateS. Several
are in the rare books collection.
The public library in Chelsea,
where Alger was born, has not q
single title of his on the shelves.

House Built Of Plastics
Presents Many Changes

Homes Of the not too far distant
future are destined for some revolu-
tionary and logical changes, accord
ing to predictions made by Alden B.
Dow, Michigan architect, who has
already gained nationwide recogni-
ton for his modern functionally de-
signed homes. Dow emissions
houses constructed almost entirely
of plastic materials as a develop
ment in the near future. There will
be no cracked walls in the homes
constructed of these materials be-
cause surfaces will be broken up
into small units and sealed together
with an elastic material, thereby all
lowing the natural movement of the
building frame.
These small units will be of geo.
metric form, combinations of which
will form the design of the building
that is, dimensions will be in terms
of units rather than feet and inches.
Doors will be so many units high
and wide, windows will be merely
transparent units, while ventilators,
radiators, light fixtures, radios and
other accessories will be available
in sizes interchangeable with these
units. 1t will be easy to add to these
new buildings because one system
of construction will apply through
out. An addition will merely require
so many standard unit frames and
the necessary units to cover it and
line it.
Other advantages claimed for the
new materials include their good in
sulation against heat and electricity.
Houses built of them, it is said, will
be cooler in summer and warmer in
winter. In addition they will consti-
tute an extremely low fire hazard,
and be resistant to most acids.
Plastic blocks need no seasoning.
They are completely waterproof.
cannot warp or lose their shape.
They will not, like wood, be attacked
by insects, nor like most other ma
terials, be subject to decay and dis
indignation Gin building with them,
wastage-heretofore big cost fac
tor-wiIl be eliminated, states Mr..
Dow.
These and many other advantages
of using plastics for building pur-
poses have been indicated for some
time but the difficulties of molding
large pieces suitable for use in this
field have, until recently, hindered
extensive application in this direc-
ton.

beams rich vitamin and protein con-
tent.
Although the soybean is likely to
be of much more importance to the
farmer than the gardener, neverthe-
less, there have been developed sew
eral edible varieties which have the
eating qualities of Lima beans and
which may also be used as dry shell
beans. Named varieties recommended
for garden use include Bansei, EN-
peror and Higan.
Soybeans, incidentally, figured in
the war news recently, and were
held responsible for the sinking of
the Danish liner Canada off the coast
of England. According to the news
dispatch, Captain Knudson expected
to take his ship into port for repairs,
after it had struck a mine, but the
vessels cargo of 5000 tons of soy
beans swelled to three times its bulk
as the sea water came in. The swell
ing beans burst the steel plates and
the vessel sank.

Home Hardware

The character of the house as well
as the coloring and finish of the
woodwork should be carefully con-
sidered in selecting hardware for the
home. A hardware design suited to
a home of elaborate architectural
style is out of place in an informal
home of simple lines. Straight-for-
ward, unpretentious design is best
for the small house. Since the hard
ware of a home gets plenty of usage,
good quality here is of more impor-
lance than in some other features.
Frequently the substitution of new
hardware for old will do much to
iven up the appearance of the en-
tire house.
