Rains Also Cause
Damage To Farms In
Recent Storm

Not all the damage to farms, result
ing from last weeks storm, was done
by wind, according to the Supervisors
of the Garrett Soil Conservation Dis
trict.
Practically the entire northern end
of the county had very heavy rain
storm at the time of the tornado. The
damage by run off of the rainfall was
not spectacular, it was stated. Few
large gulles were cut in the hill
sides, but many tons of good topsoil
were washed from corn, potato and
grain fields. Most of the damage was
done by sheet and rill crosion-a
little soil washed from all parts of
the field, and rills from 2 to inches
cut where the water accumulated to
flow over cultivated field.
In many instances, even where
large amounts of soil were removed,
the first cultivation following the
storm filled and smoothcd the rills, so
that the fields now look much the
same as before; but farmers who
took a good look at their fields know
that the soil removed is gone forever,
according to William Mace, soil con-
servationiSt here.
The supervisors also pointed out
that large quantities of lime and fer
tilizer were washed away with the
soil. Several farmers voiced their dis
gust at having bought and applied
large quantities Of fertilizing mater
ials only to see the bulk of them
taken downstream in a single rain.
and stated their determination to
prevent the recurrence of such losses.
Helping prevent these losses is one
of the principal aims of the Soil Con-
seIVation District, which is in posi-
ton to furnish technical assistance
to help farmers plan and lay out the
contour strip cropping, diversion ter
races and other measures designed to
keep the soil where it belongs. This
assistance can be obtained by getting
in touch with anyone of the Super
viSors, the County Agent, who is sec
rotary to the board, or with the Dis
trict Conservationist's office

18th Congress Quits
On Harmonious Note

After Hard Two Years
Iy the Associated Press.

Members of the disbanded
Seventy eighth Congress headed
home today. their nerves ground
thin by the demands of two
years wartime lawmaking plus
a bitter political campaign.
At odds repeatedly with the White
House, Congress wound up the ses-
sion on a note of harmony last
night. The Senate finally confirmed
Undersecretary of State Joseph C.
Grew and five Assistant Secretaries
of State.
An incipient fllibuster against the
six disputed appointees burst apart
yesterday when the President came
back from a vacation at Warm
Springs and made it clear that those
were the men he wanted for the
tremendous diplomatic tasks ahead.
Since Saturday all attention had
focused on the confirmation dis
pute in the Senate, for the House
had completed its work and a ma
jority of the Representatives had
started home.
