Thomas of the Soil Conservation service, who has been making a detailed study o f erosion effects in the Columbia basin wheat area.« Data on this subject are rather difficult to gather * and interpret, according to Thomas, because at the many other factors involved. 7or example, the improved varie ties of wheat introduced from time to time by the Oregon State col lege experiment station and ex tension service, as well as improv ed cultural practices, have tendeo to overcome the detrimental ef fects of soil erotion. For that rea son many farmers and agricultur al workers pont out the fact that actual yields are not much less, on the average, now than they were 30 to 50 years ago.

In the Athena and Weston areas it was determined that, with each inch of top soil removed, the aver age reduction in yield amounted to only .17 bushels per acre, other factors being equal. In the Con- den area, on the other hand, the reduction was found to average 2.5 bushels for each inch loss in • a * t i p SOU. States positively, Thomas con cludes that a saving of from 2.5 to 3 bushels in the yield of wheat during* the next 15 or 20 year» may be accomplished by following soil conservaton methods. hours.

EALTH THE NEW ¿y^ADA^R^MAYN E ótóoON <QÂIRY council Peaches are appearing now on the market and you will sea peaches of some variety on thru to early October. The peach has ong been popular and unquestion ably does have a pleasing flavor tnat commends it to all, and is particularly delicious served with thick cream to enhance that flavor. Peaches, however, have other vir tues for they are a good source of vitamin C and a fair source of vitamin B. Peaches are easily bruised and should be hxndled with care. Ful ly ripe peaches should be put into the refrigerator at once. They should be washed and pared only shortly before serving because they darken as they stand with cut .surface exposed to the tir. “Peaches and cream,” of course, is the traditional favorite and while there is nothing much bet- tei. it is a good idea to offer the family a little variety. Served over short cake with whipped cream; or as peach cob bler; or fresh peach pie; or used in puddings; they offer many possibilities for the hot weather menu. Squeeze a little lemon juice over sweetened, sliced peacn- es and serve over ice cream or sherbet - and don’t fail to serve cheese with the pie or cream with the cobbler or pudding to complete tlie dessert. Many homemakers will take advantage of peaches plenty late in the season by putting up some v r winter supply shelves.
