ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW ROSEBURG OREGON THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1948 THIRTEEN Farmers Urged To Join Program For Soil Conservation Just ordinary Oregon soil will contain enough of the three com mon soil elements, nitrogen, phos phorus, and potash, to have a current market value of $i,500 to $2,500 per acre, and this week, May 2 through 8, has been des ignated "Soil Conservation Week" to point out the problems in con junction with maintaining this soil fertility, states J. Roland Parker, county agent. Meanwhile the loss of only one-quarter If an inch of Oregon topsoil represents a loss of $65 to $75 worth of nitrogen, phos phorus and potash. In terms of common crops, this quarter inch of lost soil with its three elements represents enough plant food to produce 10 tons of alfalfa, 360 bushels of wheat, or two tons of clover seed.

Cropland fields plowed in the fall should be seed ed to some crop either for harvest In the following summer or seed ed to a cover crop to Keep me land from washing and to provide humus to maintain and build up fertilitv in the sou. Land Idled Bv Neolect . The agricultural census of 1880 showed nearly twice the acreage of land in crops for Douglas County as reported in the 1945 census. Much of the acreage no longer farmed is idle and grow ing up to brush due to former op erators failing to maintain the fertility of the soil, states Parker. Continued cropoing without re turning anything to the land to maintain fertility resulted in a decline in yields to where returns did not pay operating costs. The government, recognizing the necessity to maintain produc tion of food crops, authorized a soil bonscrvation program and provided funds to assist farmers in carrying out soil conservation Dractices. Many Douglas County farmers are taking advantage of the financial assistance provided under the agricultural conserva tion, according to Parker, to build up the fertility of their land, con serve water resources and develop drainage systems. War in Holy Land Slowed by Truce (By the Associated Press) A truce enforced by British guns kept most of the Jews and Arabs in Palestine today from each other's throats. The Palestine government said A cease fire order for the Kata mon quarter of Southern Jeru salem had been extended indef initely. Truce negotiations for the entire city continued. Outside Tel AViv, the Jews said Arabs struck back atIrgun Zval Leumi positions won in Yehudia. The Jewish army Haganah said the Jewish settlement of Ramat Naftali, four miles from the Lebanon frontier, rematned under shcllfire. Officials In Beirut said no Lebanese guns were turned on the village. The hills of Southern Judea were quiet again after skirmishes. A typhoid epidemic threatened Acre, where 82 cases were under care. The Jews hastily prepared their Buying of Farm Machinery in 1947 Set New Record States farmers bought machinery In 1947 United more farm man in unv Drevious Vear. .ac cording to a recent U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture report. Pro duction prospects for 1948 indi cate a still greater supply avail able for the domestic market de spite the expected Increase in European shipments. Continued inrrease In the pro duction of small wheel tractors and equipment used with such tractors is in prospect for 1948. Production of dairy and poultry equipment, feed cutters and horse drawn equipment has been high and may decline but it is expect ed that production will be ade quate to meet requirements. Incomplete reports on 1947 pro duction indicate a total produc tion of farm machines about one third higher than in 1946 and about double the 1935-39 average. Wheel tractor production reached 520,000 units as compared with 255,000 in 1946 and the previous high mark of 313,000 in 1941. Farm machinery exports In 1947 also were at a high level, accounting for about 18 percent of the total production, Including industrial tractors. Exports in cluded 80,000 wheel tractors, 15, 000 garden tractors and 12,000 crawlers. About two-thirds of the crawlers were for non-farm use. Total U. S. production included 420,000 wheel, 166,000 garden and 38,000 crawler type tractors. Prospects tor 1948 Indicate ah Increase in exports to European countries over 1947 while exports to non-European countries may remain about the same. The do mestic and foreign demand for crawler tractors and large wheel diesel type or those adapted to heavy fuel Is expected to remain strong and the supply situation "relatively tight."
