THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES

This week is being observed
as Land-Use emphasis week.
In connection with this we
heard ]. r. Coca, Holmes coun-
~ soil conservation man, speak
this week of the progress made
in flood control in our coun-
~ since l949. He was speak
ing to an interested civic club
and reporting on what flood
control work has already &C
complished for this area.
One startling thing he said
was that a l7-acre plot OF
ground could have enough soil
washed off it in a period OF
one year to fill 1860 2-ton
trucks-but that the soil could
be tied down with trees or
grasses and have very little
erosion.
Vegetation OF some kind
growing on the hills is the
only thing that will stop the
land from washing away--and
il future generations are to
have the soil to grow the food
and fibre needed to feed and
clothe themselves we are going
to have to take care of our soil.
Every owner Of land should
consider it his sacred duty to
do the best possible job on
conserving the soil so that ii
can serve generations yet UNI
born.
