SOIL AND LIFE EVOLVE
TOGETHER

"Soil is that thin film between tie
earth and sky that supports all liv-
ing things says DR.. Charles E. Kel-
logg of the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture in the introduction to an
article on the subject. Beneath lie
the sterile rocks, above it are the air
and sunshine. From it all plants and
animals, and man himself, draw their
nourishment, either directly or indir-
ectly from other things that live in
soil. To it their dead bodies return.
There is no life without soil, and no
soil without life; they have evolved
together.
Even though we call this an in
dustrial age, far more than half OF
TIE people in the world live to tilling
the soil. They produce food fiber,
and other things for themselves
and for the rest of us. Some work
efficiently and live well; others bare
ly exist. A few try to cultivate soils
that are unsuitable for use by any
methods. Many more could produce
abundantly on their soil if they only
knew what to do and had the means
and skill to follow proper practices.
Enough soil exists for all to have
abundance. But we skall have neither
peace nor abundance until we learn
more about the thousands of differ
ent kinds of soils, precisely where
they are, and how to use them for
good production.

CONSERVATION AND THE
SCHOOLS

We are at last having to face the
reality that cur natural resources
are dwindling all too rapidly. In fact,
leading conservationists tell us that
our country is in a fair way of becom-
ing one of the 'have not" nations un-
less something is done about it. In
the light of this alarming situation
the following ideas prove helpful:
1. The general public is not aware
of the need for conservation prac-
tices.
2. The average person needs to un-
derstand the simple fact tkat conser-
walton practices are based upon the
This means more than not killing
wild animals, not picking wild flow
ers or not allowing land to lie idle.
1t means maintaining the resources
we still have and at the same time
making long-term plans for the in
crease of replaceable resources.
3. The success of any conservation
program depends upon it's understand
ing, acceptance and observance by
the average citizen. We cannot make
conservation function adequately by
merely passing laws. For example,
we are all too familiar with the fell
low who gets by with catch of un-
dersized fish or who boasts of exceed
ing the bag limit on wild fowl.
4. Fundamentally, conservation
must begin in our schools. Through
a carefully planned program, schools
can provide an enlightened public
who will take steps to see that there
will be something left to conserve
when the youth of today takes over.
This will require time, careful plan
ming, and a tactful approach, but it
is one of the schools obligations
which cannot be neglected.
5. Conservation is not another sub
ject to be added to an already over
crowded curriclum. The scientific
principles underlying conservation
practices are already included in ex-
listing courses of study. What we
must do is to make teachers aware
of this and provide them with the
materials for putting the proper
stress upon these principles. Happily,
this is being done on an increasing
scale by means of college and univer-
sity courses, by extension services
offered by conservation agencies, and
by conservation education work
shops. Patronage of these deserves
wide Sponsorship by school authori-
ties and otker interested groups.
6. Actual experience shows that
the teaching of short, separate units
on conservation does not produce de-
sired results. A better way is to in
clude conservation material through
out the entire curriculum wherever
it fits in. Bringing constantly the
main ideas to the pupils minds will
get these fixed better than through a
single exposure.

Africa, South America and Europe, is

Jersey Cattle

Jersey cattle raised on the Isle of
Jersey have the reputation of be-
ing free from all contagious dis
cases. Cattle tuberculosis, mastitis
and sterility, the diseases which are
found on dairy farms elsewhere, do
not infest the cattle on the 1O-mile-
long island in the English channel,
according to Jersey breeders there.
There are some 5000 cattle on the
island, divided into average heads
of IL. No artificial breeding is car
ried on. The island breeders grow
some of their feed, such as grass,
roots (from second crop) and hay.
Concentrates are bought to make up
deficiencies. lettering at pasture, as
"semi-isolation," helps to prevent
disease.
