leo, Canada-a dozen countries
more or less-are now undertake
ing soil conservation programs
patterned in some measure after
that of the u. S. Soil Conserva-
ton Service.
Back in 1909 he served on a
committee to study the agricul-
tural possibilities of the Panama
Canal Zone. In 1914, he was in
charge of an expedition to explore
the agricultural regions of Alas
ka in connection with the build
ing of a railroad. In 1919 he was
a member of the Guatemala
Honduras Boundary Commission,
and in 1923-24 was the soils man
on a commission studying the
rubber production possibilities of
the Americas. In 1885 he was
engaged in making soil recon-
Nuisance of Cuba.
For more than 40 years he has
engaged in an active study Of the
land, with time out only for
World War 1. And he is still 60
ing strong. In 1914, at the request
of the Government of the Union
of South Africa, he spent three
months in that country studying
soil conditions. The trip required
travel of more than $4,000 miles,
mostly by Army bomber. At the
conclusion of the trip. with only
a Sunday intervening, he was
back at his desk in Washington.
Bennett has lived to see the
soil conservation program which
he actively promoted being set
up in virtually every state in the
Nation in cooperation with local
farmer-organized, farmer-operat-
ed soil conservation districts. And
he is still vigorously fighting for
the nationwide adoption of wise
land use and soil conservation
measures that will protect all
farm land and assure productive
use of the nations soil resources
for this and future generations.
Since no one plant food can
substitute for another-each one
having its own individual func-
ton to perform in the growing
of that PLAINTIFF supplying of
large amounts of one material
that is not needed. and not Sc
curing the others that are need
ed, is much the same proposition
as a mans needing a hat but 60
ing out and buying a pair Of
shoes.
1T is still somewhat difficult

culture and S. o. Perkins, of the
North Carolina Department of
agriculture. That was back in
the horse and buggy days, when
travel was slow and tedious, but
every section of the country was
visited.
AShe county has undergone
many changes since that first
SOIL map was made and in the
past six years, particularly, much
has been done in soil conserva-
ton.
DR.. BENEFITS interest in the
soil goes back much further than
that, however. From the time
he began chopping cotton as a
youth on farm in Arson county,
he has never lost his love of the
land.
Bennett was born in 1881 on
farm near Wadesboro, N. c. At
the age of 10 he was chopping
cotton on his fathers farm and
was helping him run terrace lines
soon afterward. Following his
graduation from the University
of North Carolina in 1908, he
began work with the Department
Of Agriculture as soil chemist.
Field surveys he made through
out a large part of the United
States convinced him of the
menace of erosion and the i'm
mediate need for aggressive &C
ton to conserve the Nations
soil resources. l.s~ - ~, ., -
Since that time he has waged
an unremitting fight for soil
conservation and wise land use,
which led to his eventual appoint
ment as Chief of the Soil Con-
servation Service. In fact, it was
largely due to his aggressive ef-
forts over a long period of years
that a nationwide program of
soil conservation was set up in
1888. He was chosen at that time
to head up this work and has
directed the nationwide program
since that time.
But it is not only at home that
his name is known. His land
philosophy and land treatment
measures he advocates have
travelled far and wide to distant
nations. So has he. Venezuela,

This was the topic for the
final meeting of the Lake
County Council of Parents and
Teachers District &c, held at
Grayslake Elementary School
on Tuesday, March 25th, at
500 p. m.
Mr.. Robert Kingery, Gen

Regional Planning Commits
sion, used this topic for his
talk. He is an authority on
community ID municipal
planning, having worked with
many communities in the Chi
cago area. His being a special
list on population trends made
his talk particularly appropri-
ate in view of present school
reorganization and school
building programs.
Mrs. Robert Nelson of Fox
Lake presided at this meeting.
Committee Chairmen made
their reports and officers were
elected.
Joint hosts for the evening
were Cages Lake and Grays-

ZION IN PHOENIX

Zion in Phoenix under the
leadership of Elder Leland
Barton began preparations for
the observance of the Easter
season by meeting in our place
of worship on Good Friday
night, where we enjoyed a
series of beautiful colored pic
lures on the crucifixion, death,
and resurrection of our Savior,
after which we very appropri-
ately observed the Lords sup
per. This was a. truly solemn,
beautiful and impressive SER
vice. We returned to our var
ious homes conscious that we
had been in the presence of
the Divine; and we looked for
ward to the coming Lords
Day when we should celebrate
the Resurrection. This we have
now done on most beautiful
and perfect spring day, such
as we have here in ''The Val
ley of the Sum-"
Our connection with the
"home land" seemed very near
and dear when, this morning,
we held telephone conversa-
ton with some of the loved
ones in Zion; this gave those
of the family of the under
signed a wonderful start for
the day. We learned of your
inclement weather - quite in
contrast to our perfect day.
At the morning service to-
day sixty-nine persons were
present and among them some
new faces; also Deacon and
Mrs. Jason Cook, the former
appearing much improved in
health.
It is a great joy to us here
to have those direct from the
home land with us, Deacon
and Mrs. Cook, together with
Mother Neal, being the pres
ent representatives. And here
we must add what a blessing
and joy it has been to have the
General Overseer and Mrs.
Mintern, together with Mr..
and Mrs. Casperson, with us
for two Lords Days, for the
Dedication Service of our new
Tabernacle, March 18th, they

pect them again in due time.

Price Cut PIon
Now In Effect

Boston (ILNS). - Responding
to President Truman's plea heads
of Newburyport, Mass, have draft
ed a plan to reduce the price of
their goods and services by 10 per-
cent for an indefinite period.
A spokesman said they hoped
their move would be copied across
the country.
John E. Swanson, a hardware
dealer, first broached the idea. A
few of his friends joined in. Then
the Northeast Essex County De-
velopment Council took over and
has sent a telegram to President
Truman explaining the plan.
The merchants have notified
their suppliers in the hope they,
too, will cut prices. Norman j.
Randell, secretary of the council,
said they had decided that they
would refuse to pay what they con-
sidered too high prices for their
goods and thus force costs down.

Urge Senote Reject HoIion Treaty,
Held Unjust And Threat To u. S.

Z New York City QLNS) Sixty
five prominent Americans, includ-
ing Robert j. Watt, American
Federation of Labor international
representative, have voiced vigor-
Gus opposition to ratification of
the proposed Italian peace treaty.
Hearings on the treaty began be-
fore the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee April 21.
The group issued a statement
denouncing the treaty as unjust,
harshly burdensome to Italy and
its workers, appeasement of Stain
and threat to the United States.
Released through the Committee
for a Just Peace with Italy, Inc,
of which former Gov. Charles
Poletti and State Industrial Com
missioner Edward Corsi are of
ficers, the statement declared:
at does not make sense to try
to save Greece and Turkey from
Communist aggression while we
leave Italy to its mercy. Who con-
trolls Italy controls the Mediter-
ranean. The treaty is already OBJ
solete because it was negotiated
when We We're still trying to ap-
pease Stain, before the Truman
doctrine was announced, before
America was fully aroused to the
totalitarian danger"
Treaty Held Sacrificing Justice
Asserting that the treaty nego-
tiated by the Council of Foreign
Ministers late last year was a com
promise for the sake of appease-
ment, the statement continues:
at is crystal clear, now, that
the Italian treaty which sacrifices
justice for a supposed expediency,
failed even to achieve expediency,
and has instead become a grave
threat to our country's own in
terest. 1t is not too late to avoid
the danger and dishonor a hasty
of this treaty will in
volve. Under our constitution the
Senate has the final word. 1t will
heed the voice of the American
people.

Austrian Labor Given
Voice In Running Plants

Vienna. Parliament passed the
Works Council Law. Under this
measure, which was long and'bit>
terly debated, the elected represen-
tatives Of workers will be per-
mitted to demand consultation in
matters not only of labor relations
but also Of marketing, financing
and other policies of management.
Spokesman of Austria's leading
political groups, the Peoples party
and the Socialists, hailed the new
right of workers to be fully in
formed Of management's plans
and to a review of management's
policies by the State Economic
Commission as the key to the COM
ing period of experimentation with
industrial democracy.
In plants where more than 500
are employed, the workers council
may by two-thirds vote protest
management policy to the National
Economic Commission through the
National Confederation of Labor.
The protest can be on the ground
that the economic future of the
workers plant is endangered or
that management's policy is con-
tfary to the interests Of Austrian
economy.
