Eastern Oregon wheat y yields
have bBbf reduced by eroeion at
an average rate of about 1.5 bush
els per acre every 10 years, ac
cording to data gathered by H. L.
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.

Thomas mad« his study in three
representative areas in eastern
Oregon, one in the Wild Horse
soil conservation area near Athe
na, one in the Moro conservation
area, and a third in the Rock
Creek *area near Condon. , By tak
ing accurate measurements of top
soil in the wheat fields, and also
along uncultivated fence rows and
in field corners, it was found that
from 26 to 52 per cent, or an aver
age of 37 per cent of the total
top soil has been eroded in three
districts, after little more tfykn 50
years of wheat cultivation.
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

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. But to
ure peaches while they are at
their very beat try the following
