n5,372 New Dams
Built in Six Years

In the last six years, the Soil Con-
servation Service has built or SUPER
vised the building of 225, ,372 perma-
nent dams to control or store sur
lace waters. These structures range
In size from small stablization dams
or feet high to larger storage
dams 20 feet or more high. Apri-
cultural engineers of the service de-
signed the dams, and C. c. c. workers
and relief labor did most of the
work.
Many OF the large water-retention
dams have increased municipal wa
ter supplies. In the arid Plains
country, the larger water-impound-
Ing dams have prevented intermit-
tent water shortage. Smaller dams
forming farm reservoirs provide
water for livestock and irrigation
The Soil Conservation Service has
also built more than $500 900 struc-
lures to supplement vegetation in
controlling gullies. These are tenn
porary dams and seldom exceed 18
lncnes IN height. Because they must
be inexpensive they are built from
available native materials-lops
poles, plants, brush, straw and loose
rock.
Most of these temporary struc-
lures have been placed in expand
ing gullies, and in many instances
nondurable materials such as soft
wood, poles and brush have been
purposely selected so that the struc-
lures will rot out after stabilizinp
vegetation has become established

Status of Business
Shows Little Change,
5000 Bankers Soy
BY Edward C. Stone.

The nations industries and A.

meeting the requirements Of rearm-
ament although there arc at present
some "bottle-necks" In the indus
trial setup, according to a survey
of current business by Banking, Of
fetal journal of the American Bank
ers' Association.
"All down the line business is
feeling sharply the effects of the
change in national defense plans
from the talk stage to definite ac-
tion." the survey says. "The sud-
den speeding up of foreign and
domestic purchases has put some
industries to temporary test, but
the unused productive capacity of
the country is tremendous.
"At the moment, it can be esti-
mated that by January, 1941, the
capital invested in the aviation in
dustry. including transport lines,
will exceed $500, 100000, or double
what it is now" the survey says.
The cross irdex of business opin-
ion, prepared by Banking from a
poll of 5000 bank directors and
presidents in all sections of the
country, shows little change from
the previous month.
Of the bank officers polled for
the survey, 43 per cent said that
business is getting better, 81 per
cent found conditions about static,
and 20 per cent reported a decline.
