GRAZING CONTROL
RETARDS EROSION
Over-Used Pastures Thin
Rapidly in Drouth.
BY RALPH o. LEWIS
(Member. Soil Conservation Service

(M eLuDeI, SOu CONSERVATION SelVICeJ
Grazing control is basic prac-
tice in any successful effort to con-
troll erosion on range or pasture
lands.
Light grazing promotes a vigorous
grass growth which helps to slow
up run-off, increases moisture pene-
tration into the soil, and often pre-
vents outlying. Grass eaten down
to the surface of the ground does
not have chance to maintain a
vigorous root system and thins out
quicker under drouth conditions.
Whether it is Outlying, sheet ero-
sion, or wind erosion that has been
affecting the land, it is practically
always aggravated by close, heavy
grazing.
Contour burrows, gully control
check dams, and shrub and tree
paintings in quilted areas are good
erosion control practices in many
instances, but their value is prac-
tically always increased by proper
grazing management The use of
temporary supplementary pastures
such as Sudan grass, sweet clover,
and other adapted grazing plants is
recommended as a means of light
ening the grazing load on the ma
tive pastures.
Lands that have been retired from
cultivation and are being regrassed
should be completely protected
from grazing until the grass stands
become firmly established, after
which they can serve as additional
pasture.

Farmers Watch World
Affairs. SURVEY Reveals

American farmers today are just
as deeply concerned with what's 60
ing on in steel mills and shoe fac
tories and grocery stores, and in the
war abroad, as they are in whether
they're going to have good grow
ing weather" this season.
This was discovered by the board
of experts who wrestled with the
nations agricultural problems at
Fortune magazines seventh Ground
table," results of which are report
ed in that magazine. The discus
sion brought together dirt farm
ers and a minority array of indus
trialists, distributors and labor rep
resentatives from many sections of
the country.
Particular emphasis was laid on
the tie-up between renewed farm
prosperity on the one hand, and, on
the other, industrial recovery,
strengthening of the nations export
market, and further coordination of
farm production and marketing.
EARN income today remains low
er than in 1929, because the farmer
has lost part of his former market
on account of the industrial depres-
sion and the international situation.
The loss of such markets, unaccom-
panied by proportionate reduction
in output, explains why farm prices
remain comparatively low. Govern
ment can administer temporary aid,
but the farm population as whole
cannot materially increase its in
come until industry provides much
greater degree of full employment"
it was pointed out.
Defining the marketing problem,
members noted that agriculture
suffers from structural defect.
Divided up into about 100000 farm
units, American farmers have not
devised methods of organization en-
abling them to adjust production
and marketing in relation to price
as effectively as do industry. and
organized labor
Forum members also pointed out
that farm co-operatives working
with grower associations and food
chains are making progress in re-
ducing the cost of distribution, an
element in increasing returns to
farmers.
