|4Lane Highway
Work Completed

With four-lane highway from
the Richland Y to Benton street
in Kennewick IS per cent complet-
ed, there are still no plans for a
widening of Avenue c, or for work
on the Kennewick-Pasco bridge or
its approaches, Young Smith. dis
trict highway engineer, said Mon
day.
The four-lane highway will
probably be completed by the end
of September and should speed
Richland- Kennewick traffic by 60
percent, he said.
Widening Avenue G would IN
volve the city Of Kennewick as
well as the state" Smith said. "The
situation has been much improved
lately, however, with parallel
parking on Avenue c. I know OF
no plans for work on the bridge
or its approaches"
The present two-lane concrete
highway WIN be widened by a ten
foot oiled strip on each side and
an eight or ten foot shoulder on
each side Of the highway. These
shoulders win be for emergency
parking.
The greatest speed-up win b<
accomplished at the Y.traf{ic light
engineers said. Outside lanes will
be provided for traffic from Pros.
ser 50 the traffic coming on the
highway from Richland will no,
. have to wait for the through traf-
fic on the highway.
Five lanes will run from the
traffic light 1900 feet toward Ken
newick to merge the two streams
Of traffic smoothly. The two lanes
on the south win be for east
bound traffic from Prosser, the
next lanes for traffic from Rich
land and the lane on the north for
traffic to Prosser.

SAVE THE SOIL AND WE SAVE ALL!


"The above conservative survey indicates that one
Montana county has lost 20eo of its top soil in
third of century of farming. If the average top
soil for Montana's farm lands is inches deep and
soils are being depleted at the above rate, how
long can they be profitabIy farmed? What is the
solution for retaining and improving soils? Will
we be able to feed growing population and other
parts of the world Indefinitely if we do not give
more attention to this essential resource?"
WHAT DOES 1T ADD UP TO?
Previous issues of The Voice NOV. 2S and Dec. 81
in a brief but general way gave picture of how the
removal of soil minerals without adequate replace
ment, not only adversely affected the quantity and
quality OF vegetation grown livestock produced

ment OF humans Also, this column attempted to put
across to its readers that the worlds soil is the strong

more devastating wars

Something must be done-something can be done
not only can conservaors of every soil conservation
district within the state renewed vigor to saving
ther acres but many thousands of additional acres can
be brought under the soil conservation program
On the replacement of mineral side of the picture
mere TOO can something be done Montana, Wyoming,

shortest supply in the of II western statepbos
phate Development work these huge beds is hardly
past the experimental stage-and will likely continue
that because the many millions of dollars needed
unless the federal takes over the respon
sibiy.
To the best of my knowledge no governmental
agency at the present time has the statutory authority
let alone the appropriation to go ahead with such
development True, s. 1851, on which hearings were

and forest committee contempates appropriation of

Dut the intent of this bill is primarily to set up a
national fertilizer foundation
only other contemplated legislation which would
provide for adequate orderly development of the
Montana wyoming beds is the Murray MVA BILL
FERTILIZER development soil conservation and authority

this proposed legislation 1t would be well for Montana
farmers to give the Murray bill serious consideration

SUMMARY OF N. OAK. FINDINGS

Emphasizing the unsuitability of phosphate rock
for fertilizera similar unsuitability has also
found in tests of Montana Soils which lean toward the
alkaline-the report states:
l. Rock phosphate applied at the rate of per
acre every five years supplement to ten of
rotted manure has not shown any significant yield
increase over the MANFRED plots any crop in
five-year rotation of wheat, barley, corn flax and
sweet clover during the period 1915 to 1897
2 Rock phosphate applied with fresh manure and crop
residues at rate equal to superphosphate in money
value has not produced yield returns warrant its
use in place of superphosphate in two fouryear rota
lions during the period 1912 to 1915.
Rock phosphate is not considered a good source of
phosphoric acid for corps grown under North Dakota
soil conditions Fertilizers carrying the available"
forms of phosphoric acid likely to produce
increased yields than fertilizer materials containing
the phosphoric acid in relatively unavailable forms
Mote: available" means phosphate which has I'M
dergone either heat chemical treatment to break
down content of chlorine and other chemicals which
retard dissolution of phosphorc acid from phosphate
rock)
Further results of the 33year long tests conducted
by the NJ Dakota station that despite application
of various soil minerals certain minerals have con-
tinued to decrease. Nitrogen dropped about 20 per
cent the fertility plots despite continued following
OF four year rotation of Cor potatoes) wheat
clover oats or barley the application of manure crop
residues and commercial phosphate fertilizer.
On the other hand, however, plots receiving super
phosphate Cheat or chemically treated) average
of 60 pounds per of phosphoric acid every four
years maintained increased their supply of readily
available phosphate. Plots receiving additions
of superphosphate showed average decrease of AZ
per cent in the amount of available phosphate.

In making this survey, the department of agricul
ture listed four classes soil Type covering
10000 showed apparent erosion; (2) slight
erosion noted 122400 acres-0-25o of top soil re-
moved, average of LOS inches over the 80 year
OF top soil removed average of 3.5 inches az
severe erosion Although acreage insufficient to
classify, this land had top soil loss of from 751OOg
The above soil loss is all the devastatneIy
noteworthy when considers that the area sur
veyed is within 0yearoId soil conservation district
whose participants, according to Commissioner of
Agriculture Albert kruse, have among the most
enthusiastic soil conservators in the state.
And yet, to quote from the report: "The top soil
removed from above acreage would be equivalent to
31728 estimating inches top soil for the area
This acreage is equivalent to 2o9o of all crop in
the county"
To give even broader picture on what has hap
pened in Wibeaux county, indication of what is
happening in many other Montana counties and in
other states the following paragraphs from this survey
merit your careful consideration:
Montana has approximately 100000 acres of
cultivated lands If 1929 of the top soil is already
removed by soil and water erosion, we have lost the
estimate of soil removal farm lands is considered
conservative.
The United States Department of Agriculture esti-
mates that nation has potentially 447 100000 acres
suitable for cultivation Therefore, we have approx
maely 80 of land suitable cultivation for
each of our 140 million habtants 100000 acres of
Montana's top soil removed by erosion would theoret-
icaly provide 80 for additional $751; people,
