Soil Stewardship Steins
From The Heart Of Man
Twenty year* ajro a conservationist said i
that soH and water conservation will truly
l>erotne a reality when it l>ecomes an ideal
in the hearts of men.
He was thinking of the spiritual values
that contribute to the satisfaction of workinj?
with the soil. He realized that the practices
of modern soil and water conservation—true
stewardship of the soil—must be based on
something more than just financial gain and
the security of one’s investment in land, says
Donald A. Williams. Administrator, U. S.
Soil Conservation Sendee.
"Profits and security do come from conser
vation farming and they are important. But
money values change. Ideals and spiritual
values usually persist to guide the man who
carries them in his heart,” Williams contin
ued.
"The continuing and growing success of
Soil Stewardship Week, sponsored by the
Districts and various national church organi
zations, indicates that we have reached the
time when soil and water conservation has
become an ideal in the hearts of millions of
people.
"Soil Stewardship Week for 1959 is May 3
to 10 inclusive. During those eight days, soil
conservation districts and churches through
out the United States will observe the fact
that ‘the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness
thereof’ but responsibility for its steward
ship is a second trust vested in man. Many
other local farmers’ organizations, civic and
professional organizations, schools, business
men's organizations and other eommunity-
mmded groups will join in the observance.
"We are conscious of the trademarks’ of
soil and water conservation, the signs of
good stewardship. They are the stripcrop
ping on the sloping fields, the windbreaks
and stubble mukhing, the beautiful farm
w«K»dk>ts. the thick green blankets of meat-
pnKlucing and soil-conserving pastures, and
the areas which produce food and home for
wildlife. They include water harnessed to
help man instead of wash him away, the effi
cient use of irrigation water, improved drain
age of established farmland, soil-building no
tations. use of fertilizer and manure and doz
ens of other soil and water conserving prac
tices which are a part of modem farming.
'These are important because they are
trademarks, tools of the trade, outward sym
bols. They are the physical expression of
man's love of. and respect for. the God-given
soil and water resources on which we all de
pend."
It’s Hard To Break Even
If you earned $5,000 a year in 1939,. and
have a wife and two children, you have to
earn $12,113 today to break even in terms of
purchasing power, according to a recent sur
vey. Putting it another way, the same man
who earns $7,035 a year today can purchase
only as much as his counterpart earning $3,-
000 a year in 1939.
The “why” of this is found in two forces.
One is taxes. The other is inflation. The first
takes away more and more of your dollars—
and the second cheapens them.

Champions Of Failure
Oner again there is talk in Washington of
Alandb) " laws to control pneas. Those laws,
the theory is. would bo used only if prices
started soaring again. They are advocated
as a sure-fire means of stopping or at lea*
braking inflation.
It is to be hoped that our memories are
long enough to recall the experience with
pri«.e and other economic controls following
World War II. Black markets flourished.
Shortage* were rampant. The normal process
es of production and retail distribution were
disrupted, to the disadvantage of everyoo*-
That aside, the idea that pnee laws can
stop inflation is a prime example of how to
put the cart before the horse. These laws
would not. and could not. do anything about
the real causes of inflation. They mould not.
for instance, prevent federal deficit spend
ing. which ie probably the strongest infla
tionary force that exiata. Nor would they
prevent wage increases which are unrelated
to worker productivity, and which irreaistibly
drive prices up.
lYices, in a free enterprise system, simply
reflect the forces of the time. They don't
generate those force*. The only thing that
can stop further inflation is to stop further
Abasement of the purchasing power of the
dollar—whether at the hands of government,
labor, agriculture, or industry.
J. E. C'orette, president of the Montana
I^ower Company and the Edison Electric In
stitute, believes that American business faces
four problems: industrial competition from
foreign manufacturers; the federal govem-
ment in business; totally or partially tax-
free businesses, and the trend to have gov
ernment do everything for the people, with
resulting controls.
The Chamber of Commerce of the United
States finds a bright side to the much-dis
cussed school picture. Since World War II,
the number of teachers has increased more
than 50'i, and the average number of stu
dents per teacher has declined from 28 to
26. ‘ Where total ekpenditures for public
schools, including construction, came to $2.9
billion in the 1945-46 school year, the figure

Some economists believe that the population in

on There are, of course, many other ways to combat
inflation I have purchased young timber lands, or
chards, or hillsides, farms, lakes, or rivers. Certainly
these things will increse in value through growth as
well as inflation. Even these have real risks, such as
drought, fire, hurricanes, and diseases. Therefore, you
could get seriously hurt if all your funds were in such
investments Hedging against inflation requires di
versification. Be sure, therefore, that you have enough
cash, or the kind of assets that will bring you quick
cash in an emergency—so that you can buy common
stocks at the bottom when the next major stock mar
