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."

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.

PROOF THAT NEW
FACE POWDER WON'T
MAKE BLOTCHES
Many face powders axe made out of cos
mettcs which darken when the oil in the pet
ipiracion suikes them.
Perspiration comes out through the open
ings of your pores and the oil along with it.
Every pore which is giving out oil is dark
ening the powder around the opening of the
pores. Thus you have dark spots aroiyid the
rvmc anil whire toots between them. Tn aid nB
