ZAVERN1K IS MOTHER OP 17 MILWAUKEE (AP) Take it from Mrs. Joseph Zavernlk. girls are much ensler to ralne than boys. And Mrs. Zovernik ought to know, for at 39 she has become the mother of her seventh child a boy. She wanted another girl, she says a bit wearily, for girls are easier to raise, but now that it's a boy, and an eight pound, seven and one-half ounce one at that, she expresses her self as satisfied. AH but two of the Zavernik chil dren are living, and all but three ar rived at home. Papa Zavernik Is a wood worker in a Milwaukee body plant. "God Is good to those mothers like me, says Mrs. Zavernlk. When He gives us many children, He gives us strength and patience to take CRre of them." However. In the Zavernik home the children do a certain amount of "taking care" themselves. Acrovi section of the middle west.

Listers Lead First Skirmish In Battle With Blowing Dust By 8. J. McNALLY KANSAS CITY (AP) Harassed by dust storms which already have In flicted serious erosion damage on 3. 000.000 acres of farming land in half a dozen states, residents 6t the midwest are turning to the first massed attack on drought's brother bugaboo in Kansas. Farmers In the western part of the state, financed by a federal emer gency relief allotment of 9250,000. will take the offensive with 15.000 tractors ready to list deep furrowa at right angles to the direction of pre vailing winds. These ridges. It Is hoped, will become "dust barriers" to mltlcate the scourge of flying soil. Officials of Kansas State college, who direct the technical side of the campaign, estimated 4.500,000 acres In western Kansas must be plowed solidly with listers, and an additional 2.000,000 acres atrip-listed before the project could achieve the desired re sult. In meetings at Stockton. Coldy and Garden City they outlined their strategy to county officials and co operating farmers. Six 8tates Worst Stricken The federal soil erosion service, listing the six states worst stricken, estimated serious dust storm damage had been done to 9,000.000 acres in Colorado, 8.000.000 acres In Texas, 6,000 acres In Kansas, 4.000.000 acres In Oklahoma, 4.000.00 acres In South Dakota and 3,000,000 acres In Mon tana. An Immediate cause of the dust storms, which sent thousands upon thousands of tons of soil floating eastward and fogged the atmosphere to a height of three miles, may be found In the rainfall deficiency In several western and Rocky Mountain stntes. Oregon, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, rTebraska and Wy omlug. according to department of agriculture figures, showed precipi tation from 24 per cent to 36 per cent below normal for the first three months of 1935. 'Somebody Else's Dust' Ironically enough, Kansas and Ok lahoma, two of the worst sufferers from dust, showed normal rainfall and 31 per cent above normal, re spectively. Much of It was "some body else's dust." But while "the 1935 dry spell, and droughts of other recent seasons, ag gravated the wind erosion problem, experts place much blame on other, deep-seated causes. L. C. Alcher, su perintendent of the Fort Hays experi ment station at Hays, Kas., lists burn ing of wheat stubble, improper cul tivation and excessive use of certain types of tillage machinery ns Impor tant factors In western Kansas. This year's dust storms, which he described as "terrible." Aicher traces to the "get-rlch-qulck hysteria" which followed the World war boom In wheat prices. Valuable short -grass prairies. Ideal for graving, the last virgin soil areas available, were plow ed under to grow wheat. Then lowered rainfall, yields and price levels forced abandonment of considerable acreage. Additional fields lay Idle last year under the 15 per cent reduction Involved In the wheat allotment program. Much of this land, receiving little attention, was first to start "moving" when spring winds blew. Tests In Resodlng For several years the Fort Hays station has carried on tests in resod ding with buffalo grass, the original cover of the "blowing" areas of the state. Alcher urges that the sand dune regions be declared marginal land under the new federal land uti lization policy, removed from cultiva tion and restored to grass. While deep listing of fields Is re garded by Kansas State college ex perts as the only Immediately avail able remedy for checking soil drift, long-range and permanent relief Is hoped for in the tree shelter belt, work, on which has been commenced In both Kansas and Oklahoma. Rows of mulberry, elm and cotton wood, planted In a belt 100 miles wide, are counted up to help stop the "black blizzards."
