Regard For Soil
Growing In State
Clemson, Dec. 20.?The esteem In
which' South Carolina farmers hold
their land has risen greatly in
last few years and their efforts Ur
save the soil from erosion stand out
as one of the big items of progress
In farming.
"Soil conservation associations in i
nineteen counties, organized in 1936,1
have enabled farmers outside of the (
five Federal Soil Conservation Service
areas to terrace land and follow
other soil conservation practices," declares
K- C. Turner, Jr., extension
soil conservation specialist. "In 1936L
forty-two tractor-terracing outfits terraced
38,730 acres at an average cost
of $1.91 per acre for 2,344 association
members. While the 1937 figures are
not yet-available they will show at
least equal additional progress, and
the present momentum means increasingly
greater things for the land."
Next year will see this soil saving
activity conducted through district
organizations set up under a recent
state law legalizing cooperative effort
of farmers in an educational soil
conservation plan. Two such districts,
the Upper Savannah and the
Edlsto district, have already been organised
and plans prepared for operation.
Several other districts are being
organized, each consisting of a
group of counties and parts of counties
geographically and topographically
suited for effective action in cooperation
with the Soil Conservation
Service, the Extension Service, and
the Experiment Station.^

spokesmen, had made clear Tuesday
they did not subscribe to a policy
?f "peace at any price," the Virginia-born
peeress said: "That should
harp a profound effect op the Mt of
the world. It is almost dangerous
to talk about now," she added, "because
of Japan."
