The President will lay down his
overall program in a State of the

Knowland said he expects this TO

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL),- The
unanimous decision which bbanish-

schools the other day, was ''boos-
ter shot" for all in this good old
country of ours. There's no deny
ing it. SO who can gainsay the in

the lyrics of "My Country, 'Tis of
Thee"
Whether sung by children's
voices in the schoolroOm, or the old
folk in the meeting house, by rich
or poor, by Jew or Gentle, white
or coIored, that song is bound to
inject more esprit de corps now
than last year at this time, es-
pecially the line Sweet land of
liberty"
We have heard it said so many
times about this song: eff only
those words were true, if only they
had any meaning" VII, the words
were true and they did have mean

spirit of those words that blue
printed American freedom. With
out those words and their stirring
connotations, the cause of free

common knowledge that the spok-

There is a common saying around

There is a common saying around the countryside that
there is less and less rain falling each year because the trees
that used to attract the rain have been cut down. Undoubt-
edly, the countryside is looking more and more ike a
desert each year, bit it is not true that trees attract rain.
1t IS true that the roots Of trees help to make the water soak
into the soil, and stop the rain water from rushing off the
slopes, carrying valuable top soil with it. Where the topsoll
is retained there is more plant-growth, and the thicker the
grwth, the greater will be the amount Of water retained in
the soil
Soil erosion exists when more soil is removed by rain
and other causes than is being formed. This is a mar-raade
problem. In many places, the same crop has been planted
from year toyear, resulting in the lessening or depletion OF
the nutrients and thus the impoverishment of the soil When
this occurs the soils become harder and more compact. It is
less able to take in the water necessary for plant-groWth and
So the soil is exposed to the forces Of erosion. For this rea-
sosn a soil depicting crop like corn should not be followed
by corn the following year. Some soil-forming crop like grass
or a legume would be better. This is the basic principle Of
crop rotation.
Two other causes Of soil erosion are over-grazing and
burning. In many parts Of Africa it is the custom to buy ones
wife with cattle. The result is that many ambitious young
farmers who want good wives rear more cattle on the land
than can really be properly fed. This results in over-grazing
The same thing occurs the United States for different rea-
sons. Often farmers build up herds during a good year and
are reluctant to reduce the herd during a drought. AS a con-.
sequence the grass is permanently destroyed. It is therefore.
wise to limit the number Of livestock to the number that can
be supported in a drought year. In addition, silage should be
stored during the good years to meet the emergencies Of the
Lad cnes.
Sometimes cattle are left to roam over large areas for
long periods. There is always danger that the animals will
concentrate too much on certain small patches and kill the
Grass tn at is growing there. It is much safer to cut up the
land into pastures 50 that each plot can be evenly grazed
without mich damage to the roots Of the grass on any parti-
cLlar spot.

In Jamaica a large number of the peasant holdings are
in hily areas. Many of these plots are small and must be
intensively cultivated to allow the owner to make a living.
Unfortunately, most. of these proprietors burn their lands IN
order to clear il, and, as a result, in the rainy season there is
a large scale down hill slipping and erosion. AS time goes
goes on these peasant holdings become smaller and smaller
and the strain on the remaining soil becomes greater.
Improper drainage may also cause erosion. The digging
of trenches which run down the side of a hill instead Of
across them, helps to produce which which in time form
large gaping holes il the hillside
Soil erosion can be prevented if we:
]. Preserve the trees in places that are not cultivated. On
large properties they should be preserved on steep
slopes, along the crest Of ridges, along streanbanks, on
slopes along the road and especially the higher bank.
2. Do not cut down the bush on thin soils which can pro-
duce only one crop and then become bare rock.
Avoid burning bush especially in manner which will
allow the fire to get out Of control
4 Plant crops on the contour.
5. Regulate drainage 50 as to prevent outlying. DO not
help the water to increase IN force downhill and SO in
crease its erosive capacity.
6. Preserve wind-breaks to avoid wind erosion.
7. Try to learn a good system Of crop rotation and practice
!. Try to avoid clean cultivation; and where it cannot be
avoided, leave strips of vegetation to prevent the soil
from washing away.
9. Make sure that your neighbors are preserving their
soil. Soil erosion near to your land can easily spread on
yours.
Human difficulties follow soil erosion. When the soils
and pastures become poor the animals, crops and people are
poor; and any nation which destroys the soil is destroying
itself.
