Dr.. H. H. Bennett
Addresses Farmers

Cooperate with Nature and the AL
mighty by making your crops tit the
land and the shape of the land, instead
Of trying to make the land fit your
crops.
This is the advice to farmers from
DR.. H. H. Bennett, chief of the U. S
Soil Conservation Service, who was
recently named as 1914 "Man of the
Year in Southern Agriculture" by a
leading Southern farm publication (The
Progressive Farmer).
in setting forth a 10-point Southern
Soil Conservation Platform" Bennett
emphasizes the Importance Of proper
use of the land by explaining that pri-
marily this means using the most level
land on each farm for row crops, mod.
and keeping all very steep slopes in
trees and grass.
As another point in the 10-point plat
form, Bennett suggests "A better South
ern farming system, including especially
better planned rotations, less land in
row crops and a better balance between
crops and livestock.
Contour farming, listed as point No.
3, is another form of cooperation neces-
sary to save soils, Bennett declares, add
ing that straight line blowing in a
sloping country defies Nature and in
vites disaster"
"Grow soil-holding and %soil-building
,rnns xv,Ah ~ ,ftnr oil all roLl;~r
,rops, with a constant effort to have
wo-thirds as much green land in winter
as in summer" Bennett urges as point
20. A. The slogan, 1.-THE South will come
INTO its own when it's fields are green
in winter" deserves constant emphasis,
ne says.
Other points listed are:
5. Adequate high quality terracing.
6. Strip cropping to control erosion
on long, gentle slopes.
7. A v~egetative mulch on the soil
surface.
deza, and annual lespedeza-The "Big
Four" among crops for saving and i'm
proving Southern Soils.
Q. Drainage of too-wet lands as a
companion conservation measure to
moisture-holding practices on too-day
land.
10. Cooperation with ones neighbors
in activities of the local soil conserva-
ton district to control e~rosion-the first
necessity for all Southern farm prog
ress.

1t. Charles N. Huffey
With Pack Mule Bn.

9th Army Group, France-1st 1t.
Charles NJ. Haffey Of Ebenezer is a
member of the pack-mule battalion now
in France. He was formerly stationed
in the Aleutian Islands. This battalion
pick their way through the winding.
treacherous mountain trials and snow
swept passes along the France-Italian
border in the French Alps, bringing up
material of war to front-line units that
can't be reached by mechanical means.
To the men of a veteran Field Artil-
lery Battalion of 1t. Gen. Jacob L.
Dever's 9th Army Group, the pack
mules are indispensable. Using the mule
pack trains to transport artillery
pieces, ammunition and supplies over
the almost impossible terrain of the
French Alps, the battalion is able to
support the infantry by accurately
blasting Germans from well-entrench-
ed positions.
Members of the battalion are not
~novices in cold-weather fighting. They
made their debut the hard way by
landing on Kiska Island in the Aleu-
tldnS on august 10, 1910, as part OF an
assault wave. After three months on the
island in defensive positions, they were
ordered back to the United States.
Arriving in Italy in March, 1914, the
battalion received mules and reformed
into a pack unit. Advancing into rugged
Italian mountains, where the infantry
was fighting tenaciously for each peak
and hill, the battalion became the
doughboys' lifeline for supplies and
equipment. When the Allied armies be-
gan their crushing drive toward Rome,
the battalion played a leading role by
giving constant artillery support.
The battalion's present position in the
French Alps is the climax of long and
specialized training in mountain war
fare. After its activation in April, 1943,
it underwent strenuous m%aneuvers in
the Colorado mountains, learning many
lessons in pack artillery functions that
were to prove invaluable during three
