Honolulu, July 6. ^— The battleship.
Colorado changed its courpe- and sped
toward Winslow bank, lOO-miles eastj
of HbuTand island, today in the hunt!
for Amelia Earhardt and the' navyj
m9rved to coordinate the far-flung
Bearching effoits. I
The tactical shift coincided with an!
apparently growing belief that if Mis.s
Elarhart and her navigator, Frederick
J. Noonan, were alive they had reach
ed an island or a coral reef. . “■
Xmall islands are numerous begin
ning some 200 miles to the south,
t'ast and northw’est of Howland but
virtually are unknown in the pre
viously searched area to the north.
The Colorado, which had been head
ing from Honolulu toward the area
north of Howland where the coast
guarxl ^cutter Ita.-'ca, the navy mine-
Bweeper Swan an<l the British freight
er Mporhy had been .searching, plan
ned to rolea.^e its three catapult
7>lanes over the Winslow bank area
late, tomorrow.
, Kpi'cTal lookouts were stationM pn

ing. •
*C<«st guanl authonties said. the
Itasca had been placed under tempo
rary sui)ervision of the navy to per-
. mit ])etter search coordination.
Winslow bank lies on the northern
fringe of the Phoenix islands, which j
center at about 280 miles southeast!
of Howland.
Shortly before, the seaivh plans
were changed, George Palmer Put
nam, husband of Miiss Earhart, re-
porte<l the directional bearings taken
on the most likely of the mysterious
radio signaPs from that region ail
poirKted to the Phoenix islands.
Putnam stated if any of the numer-
. ous radio reports .seemingly from the
lost world-girdling plane were genu
ine, the ship must have been down on
a re«f or an island.
He said,, he had determined definite
ly that the plane would not have been
abde to send signals if down in the
water,
Putnam expressed appreciation of
the naval and coast guard efforts"
w'hich included sending of the big air
craft Carrier Lexington and three de
fat royers from San Fhego.
“TTiey have done everything pos
sible,” he said, “and I am'grateful
for their extenflive. efforta.”
President Roosevelt expressed con
cern for .Miss EarljartV safety. He
said the .searchers had been ordere<i
a
to cover as much territory as po.s-
fSble.'.
Despite the unprecedented mobili
zation of naval force* for the hunt
the navy department said it was im,-
po.sssiib]e to estimate whether it in-
volve<l costs in addition to .regular
operating expenses.
Officers said the normal daily op
erating cost of five naval vessels in
volved w'as about $13,750, but pointed
out this expense had to be borne
whether the .‘jhips were in port or un
der way.
Rrst reports of the revised plana
did not state .w^hat would be done with
the Itasca, which had been awaiting
the Colorado’s arrival north of How^
land to replenish its fuel and water
supplies.

After a conference xvitth Putnam,

The old adage, “an ounce of pre

might well be changed to “an ounce
of prevention Is worth a- pound of johKjx^n
control” from the standpoint of soil
conservation, according to J. E. King,
of the soil conservation service at
Laurens.
In dealing with soil erosion, pre
vention is always better than control,
-Mr. King .said, since erosion is diffi-
eprt to keep in check once it has
reached the stage requiring the
“pound of, cure.” With fertility re
duced by erosion, there i.s al.so less
incentive to apply control measures.
The use of crop rotations is an im
portant phafe of erosion prevention
and control since legumes used in ro
tation build up the fertility of the
soil as well as protect it from wash
ing. Mechanical methods such as con
tour cultivation, contour furrows and
terraces aid close-groxving vegetation
