Oak Phone 128 Soil Conservation On Oregon Farms Now Paying Off By PAUL W. HARVEY, JR. SALEM OP) When people hear about soil erosion, they think of the Midwest's dust bowl or Southern tobacco lands, not realizing erosion has caused much damage to Oregon land, particularly Eastern Oregon wheatlands. The Federal Soil Conservation Service has worked hard for 13 years to convince farmers they should take steps to stop erosion, and Sam L. Sloan, Orepon State conservationist for the Soli Con servation Service, thinks the farmers now are convinced. Sloan says half of the stale's wheatlands have lost half of their original topsoil, so soil conserva tion practices are coming Just in time. Hut some land already has been abandoned because it has lost so much topsoil. Much of the soil conservation work has been done by the state soil conservation districts, which are run by the farmers them selves. The law creating those dis tricts was passed in 1'XiH. Winning Tough Job Soil conservation technicians survey the soil, determining the amount of soil lost by erosion, and suggest the best use to which each acre should be put. Then they demonstrate other methods. such as contour farming and ar rangement of crops, to prevent erosion. Sloan said It's been a tough job selling this program to the farmer, but the light now Is be ginning to be seen. The lob is complicated in low rainfall areas, where additional steps must be taken to get the moisture to soak into the ground. This is done by keeping the stub ble on the surface, instead of burning it. Burnlnq Method Out "While touching a match to a field of stubble is still a much too common practice, it is on the way out," Sloan says. "In fact, 19 years of results at the Sherman County branch experiment sta tion at Moro shows that burning the stubble decreases yield In that section. The 19-year average yield from plots where all straw had been returned to the soil was 26.4 bushels per acre. Yield from plots where the straw had been burned every year averaged only 24.6 bushels per acre." Sloan said farmers and ranch ers need much technical assist ance in conservation work. "We've learned that the aver age land owner Is no more pre pared to solve all his erosion problems alone than he is pre pared to solve all his legal or medical problems alone," Sloan said. "The wheat rancher needs the specialized scientific assistance on his farm of soil conservation surveyors, agronomists, engineers and other technicians. Obviously ranchers -the people who own and control the land - have direct responsibility for the protection of our land resources. The na tional interest shares this respon sibility. "Landowners should become the leaders and have control of the soil conservation program. That is exactly what is happen Ing through soil conservation districts." Death Bans Fourth Term For Georgia's Tclmcdge (Continued from Page One) mally electa the governor. Hemorrhages Fatal Talmadge first was stricken with a stomach hemorrhage in Jacksonville, Kin., Oct. 4, and twice he was pronounced Inciter and dismissed from the hospital. He entered the hospital fur the last time Nov. 29. and had been Improving until last Sunday when he suffered a relapse. Two days ago his physicians said he was suffering with an acute Inflammation of the liver cells possibly caused by tin ad ministration of plasma and pro nounced his condition critical. He had received much blood by transfusion since the first hem orrhages. Members of the Talmailge family. Including his wife, son and campaign manatier, Herman, and two daughters. Mrs. Hill Kim brough and Mrs. Charles Smyly, were near his bedside when the governor-elect died. Ups and Downs In Career Talmailge's death ended an up and down political career In Georgia. His first success was In 1927 when he was named slate commissioner of agriculture. In 19.'13. he was elected governor, serving two two-vear-terms until 1937. He lost a bitter Kittle for the U. S. Senate to Richard H Russell In 19.H1. and again in liVto, he was In the race against Senator Walter (leorge. Talmadge emerged from poli tical retirement in 1910 again to become governor, but two years later, after a heated raniiiiign. he lost to Kills Arnall. When Arnall was prevented un der a new state constitution from seeklnp reelection, T.ilmadee emerged again under his old ban ner of white suoremacv. anil was elected under the state's countv unit svstem despite the fact that James V. Cnrmlchael, who had Arnall's barking, took the -popular vote. The countv unit svstem Is simi lar to the U. S. electoral svstem. with counties having from two to six unit votes deoeniling on popu lation. i"he candidate winning the unit vote gets the Democratic nomination which In oneparty Georgia Is tantamount to election. Lashed 'New Deal' A picturesque figure, given to wearing red suspenders and tak ing off his coat as he "warmed uo" In a speech, he was called a dictator by his opponents; but he had a tremendous following among the small farmers. He came Into the national pic ture as a bitter critic of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal." He broke with the federal govern ment over relief funds; was an "enemv" of Secretary of Agricul ture Henry A. Wallace, later Vice President and had tilts with Har old Ickes, secretary of the In terior. Ickes referred to him as "His Chain-gam? Excellency." He onnosed the NRA and the federal road program, frequently lamenting "white women" pick ing cotton in the fields for a dol lar or less per day, while "buck Necrroes" worked on adjacent highways for 40 cents an hour. One of Talmadge's favorite campaign reminders was that he gave the state a S3 automobile tag. Ousts State Officials .v"hen the leelslature adjourned In 1935, without enacting an ap propriation bill for 193G-37, he de clared against an extra session. He suspended the treasurer and comotroller-general when they declined to pav out of 1936 funds without specific legislative au thorization, and set out to run the state's business then about $.'0 000,000 a year- bv executive decree. National Guard Used National Guardsmen guarded $10,000,000 in the state treasury vault as litigation over this coup made its wav through the courts. It was not the first time he had used troops. In 1933 he called out the Guard to oust opposition highwav officials. During the tex tile strike of 1934 he called out practically all of the National Guard to "guarantee the right to work." Some strike leaders were imprisoned for a time in barbed wire stockades. French Loss Heavy In Indochina Fight PARIS, Dec. 21. (.I1) French troops suffered heavy casualties In advancing in two sectors of northern Indochina today, and lost a small garrison at Vinh to Vlet-Nam forces, the French gen eral staff at Saigon announced today In a communique. The general staff said French troops, braving continuous sniper fire from surrounding rooftops, had reoccupied the I.anessnn hos pital at Hanoi, Vlet-Nam capital. At Tourane, the communique said the French garrison was suddenly attacked yesterday morning by Viet-Nam forces. Severe losses were suffered hv both sides, the announcement said, but the French maintained control of the Tourane airfield and proceeded to mop up the sur rounding areas. The semi-official French press agency said French armored trooos afier all-night street fight ing held full possession of Hanoi, capital of French Indochina and of the young Viet-Nam republic, and were monping up Isolated Vlet-Nnm bands.

Army officers said no outside help would be needed. Japanese Flee to Hills Thousands of Japanese, fearing repercussions from the earth quake and tidal wave, began flee ing to the hills tonight, as they once fled from American bombs.

Others from nearby towns and cities also were reported seeking high ground. They carried their meager possessions. NEW YORK, Dee. 21. (M The Rev. Joseph J. Lynch, Ford ham University seismologist, said the university seismograph re corded "fairly severe" earth quakes at 5:32.13 and 5:42.52 A. M. I EST) today about 6,000 miles from New York in an un determined direction. He also reported that record ings of yesterday's earthquake recorded In New York at 2:33 P. M. (EST I showed It to be con siderably south of the Japanese islands. Today's new quake also was recorded at England's West Bromwieh observatory, where Seismologist J. J Shaw said the tremors lasted about two hours. Shaw said this quake probably was "somewhere In the area of the Aleutian Islands," but was "not nearly so intensive as the one which struck Japan yester day." $2,500,000 Warehouse Montgomery Ward Plan PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 21.
