STEALING FARMS Erosion UT annually taking twenty-one times as niuch! plant food from qmf farm lands as' the crops which are' pro duced on them, according; to II. H. Bennett) writing in the New York Times. He says: "In America' last year' 3,000,000,000 tons of soil washed out of fields and overgrazed pastures'. Fully. IdO.OdO acres of farm land, we're made hopelessly poor. Under- the normal price conditions this would have cost our farmers $400,0Q0, 000.: "Our, original wealth iii sdil has served' to prevent any general realization that all land, is not' permanently fixed. Unrestrained soil erosion is rapidly building a new empire of wbrhout land in America land' stripped of its rich siirface layer down to ppqr subsoil, and land gullied beyond the pos sibility, of practical reclamation. This wastage of the na tion's basic asset is speeding up. "Three-fourths of the agricultural area' of the' nation is sloping' 'enough to invite ruinous Cutting away. Already more than lOO.OOO.OOO aci-es ,of the 350,000,000 in cultivation have lost all' or nibst of the original' toji-sbil. ' ' ... "Bedrock Jias been reached in countless places and' deep" gullies have'torn asunder millions of sloping acres. All of this has been abandoned ; yet, all Jf it could have been saved., "Probably no other nation or race has permitted such rapid depletion of large areas of its agricultural lands, "We have looked upon our vast domain of agricultural land as limitless and capable of enduring forever. What are the menacing aspects of this eVil of erosion ? "The area of the more favorable soils is steadily diminish-' ing. Acreage yields are declining. "Cultivation is' more difficult and costly. Water flows across the impervious clay exposed by the stripping of the mellow, absorptive top-soil more rapidly to augment floods. "Stream channels are silting up and overflows are Incom ing more frequent and destructive. Vast areas of extra ordinary original productivity are being covered with infertile sand and gravel." - JIJIXIB KOIINEIt III ItlKI) BAKER, Ore., July 14 Wl Funeral services for Judge John Rjhner, pioneer Baker valley resident, were held In the United Methodist church iThursctay afternoon with a capacity congregation in attendance.

' Grande Ronde Valley News of Interest A LESSON FROM THE NAVY Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, U. S. N., who retired some years ago after long and distinguished, service in the navy, believes that the 'republic as a whole right now is going through the siinte difficult sort of transition period that the navy went through in Admiral Fiske's youth. When Admiral Fiske was a stripling officer, back in 1880, the American navy was composed largely of ships in which old-time saiiors like Nelson could have felt quite at home; wooden sailing ships firing muzzle-loading smooth bores by broadsides, manned by men to whom steam power was ' anathema. "Within a cPecade all that was changed and with'what difficulty i" says the admiral. "The officers had to learn or invent, rather, a new profession? The ships and guns had to be built, they had to be handled and a strategy for them had to bo devised. A whole new method, of thoiighj: had to be fM'pnr.prl. Tin vnn ha rhn nmiLmeay mat was our material improvement. We ve had that . in the country, too, how. We've gone from the little woodfli ships to the ste. monsters, literally and figuratively." .'' The parallel is a good one; and the way in which the navy accommodated itself to radically changed conditions may, s Admiral Iske bujieves, point a moral for tho nation as a whole. Those old-time navy officer. who, iTi Admiral Tiske's words, "loved their beautiful white sails nnj spotless decks, and could not bear the thought of smoke and ltiaiiner.v,' are not unlike the modern politicians and business men who look back to the social and economic9 order of a by-gone day and wish to bring it back again. Mechanical developments made a change in the navy as inevitable as the sunrise. The problem wasn't solved until the navy officers stoujied wringing their hands over the de cline of the old ways and set to work to Wing the servie J iiuu iiiiu wiui modern inventions.
