big wash right here, for instance,
but kept filling it in with brush
and trees and stuff. Not trace of

I've never seen that old farm from

Several aviators I've known are
concerned about erosion in America.
Don't expect them to join Friends of
the Land, or write about conserva-
ton with the skill of Louis Brom-
field; but they're concerned about it
just the same. One of them who
had flown over the Sahara and Cobb
deserts remarked that there were
no Chicagos or New Yorks in those
places. He might have added that
there were no Ford or General Mo-
tors factories there either.

The Fellow in the Airplune Above
Quickly Surveys Your Farm!
BY EDWARD EMERINE
WNU Features,

do not make pretty sight, but hun
dreds of f1iers have seen it.
Years ago I flew from Scottsbluff,
Neb., over the North Platte valley in
a small biplane. There were uncov-
cred fields where potatoes and beans
had been grown, and the wind was
whipping up dust to be carried
away. But southwest of Mitchell,
noticed something else. Where the
Hall Brothers had used strip-farm-
ing for their wheat growing, the dust
wasn't blowing!
Abandon Ranch.
1t was in 1886, after the "dust-
bowl years, that I talked to an old
friend, R. T. Cline, at Brandon,
Colo, inquiring about acquaintance
of other years. How is the Rupp
family? 1t was my question.
"They left their RANCH" Dick
Cline told me. "They moved to the
Arkansas valley and have a filling
station, think. So much dust COW
cred the range they couldn't run cat
tie any more"
Recently flew over eastern Colo

Maybe the Rupps are back on their
ranch.

fathers old farm between Carrsville

Many believe that 140 million people
in the United States should be a
little concerned over soil loss and
destruction. In any event, it
shouldn't be left entirely to the
farmer to combat wind, water, fire
and overcropping.
See 1t for Yourself
Many towns and cities are using
aerial surveys in their postwar plan
ming. Traffic, smoke, coming, park
planning and other civic problems
can be surveyed from an airplane,
many times more advantageously
than from the ground. And always
it is thrill to fly over your own
house and yard, to look down on
the little spot you call home! But it
is the vast farms, ranches and
ranges that make the greatest aerial
panorama. See for yourself. Get
"sky-view" of the land you think you
know SO well. You'll like it.
The next time you ride in an air.
plane, look out at the technicolor
soil map below you, stretching miles
and miles for you to study. Look
particularly at the acres of poor, de-
nuded soil, yellowish and impotent.
And remember that your food,
even the meal the airline's hostess
has just served, came from the soil
below you.

Looking Down on the Land

The first erosion I ever saw was on
our homestead ranch near Calhan,
Colo. The settlers planted trees for
a windbreak, and l chased tumble
weeds for sport.
The Honorable Robert G. Sim
mons, now on the supreme court of
Nebraska, used to be representa-
tive in congress. I've heard a lot
of his speeches, but the most inn
pressive thought he ever uttered
was, to me, something like this:
tNebraska has no mines, no oil
wells" said Bob Simmons. "Ne-
braska's wealth is eight inches of
top SOIL"
Early in the New Deal, shelter
belt was suggested. 1t was to be a
grove of trees from the Canadian
border to the Rio Grande. It was
laughed at until it was abandoned.
But I'm not so sure it wouldn't have
been good thing.
Gigantic Windbreak.
My reason for believing in a shell
ter belt is the Halsey National for
est at Halsey, Neb. Out in the mid
die of an arid country is a beautiful
pine forest covering 10000 acres, a
gigantic windbreak which conserves
the soil and builds it up year after
year. I can imagine such a forest
extending across the United States,
and it doesn't look silly to me!
Soil erosion is everybody's bust
ness, think. The banker, the doc
tor, the mechanical are affected
as much as the farmer. Some two
billion people in the world depend
for their livelihood on that thin skin
of top soil spread over the earth.

THIRD SMITH BRIDE
GETS GOOD ADVICE

HAMILTON, KANSAS. - Mrs.
W. H. Smith wrote a most inter-
esting letter to Faultless Starch
about the way the Smith family
has used that starch. Here is her
letter:
"Forty-seven years ago, Mrs.
W. o. Smith, as a young bride,
started using Faultless Starch
In her home.
twenty-five years ago Mrs.
o. T. Smith, as the very young
bride of Mrs. w. o. Smiths
son, started using Faultless
Starch in her home. She tried
many other starches, but al
ways went back to Faultless
Starch.
Ten months ago 1 started
using Faultless Starch as the
bride Of Mrs. o. T. Smiths
son. I started using it at Mrs.
Smiths request, and now am
a stiff hacker of Faultless
Starch.
Gas three generations Of
Brides we say, three cheers
for Faultless Starch
81 might add that I am very
fussy about my husbands
shirts. And also that Mrs,
w. o. Smith has never used
any other starch for over hall
q century,"
What an interesting storyI Ger
tainly here is positive proof that
Faultless Starch makes wonderful
friends that stay for a lifetime.
YOU DESERVE FAULTLESS
There is no reason in the world
why you can't enjoy Faultless
Starch, too. You might just as
well make your starch-WTH-
OUT COOKING-with Fauldess
Starch. You might just a" well
stop that "sticky" iron-with
Faultless Starch. You might Just
as well be proud of the absolutely
faultless look you get with Fault

Tobacco Crop Workers
Receiving High Wage.

NEW BERN, July 13-Following
published reports that farm labor
ers are drawing daily wages as
high as $40 plus meals and trans
portation during this peak of to-
bacco gathering and grading, some
farmers stated today that they
know of cases where as much as
SIS per day is being offered to
tobacco pickers and graders.
Despite warnings not to pay
such high prices, under the prob
ability that they will not be able
to make a profit with such high
labor costs, farmers report that
the demands are so great at this
season, with the labor supply SO
scarce, they are being forced to
pay exorbitant wages to get their
crops harvested.

Returning to characterization
momentarily : this story has
brought bowls of h;larity from all
over occupied Germany. 1t con-
Germs the court martial OF a
soldier for determination.
To clinch it's case the prosecut-
ion brought in the German woman
allegedly involved and her small
son. The child was led into the
court room filled with military
personnel including the accused
and asked if an American soldier
had been visiting his mother.
The boy, obviously excited, an
severed in the affirmative. He then
was asked to point out that soldier
if he was in the room. His eyes
swept the dirnly lighted court
room.
<''Das list der mann, " the child
said pointing directly at the presi.
dent of the court.
Probably it ruins the story, but
it must be added that the en-
barcsssed officer insisted on prov
ing a satisfactory alibi.

Perhaps the story should END

There is no German word which

but it merely means you do not
