Rains Show Lesson
in Soil Erosion Control
Heavy February rains throughout
the state have afforded an oppor
tunity for the ordinary highway
traveler to observe the action of
erosion on adjacent farm land, and
the effectiveness of practices to
control excessive run-off, point out
those who have been active in fur
thering soil conservation measures
in this country.
Fields that have been summer
fallowed by the rough or trashy
fallow method, wherein crop resi
dues are left as a protective surface
mulch, show much less run-off, and
consequent washing, than those
where clean cultivation was used.
Where cultivating implements run
up and down a slope instead of
crosswise, the eliect is easily seen
this spring in excessive washing.
FLAG QUESTIONS
(Presented by Americanism Com
mittee of American Legion Auxil
iary especially for use of school pu
pils participating in its annual Am
ericanism contest.)
Soil conservation men are calling
attention to the fact that rough or
trashy tillage has the effect of af
fording millions of tiny dams to
catch the rain and halt it until it
sinks into the soil. Furthermore,
the water has easier access to the
soil because the stubble, straw, or
other trash provides openings thru
which the rain or snow water per
colates beneath the surface.
