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.^ Lady Aator, American boriLj first woman member of wo Bnttsh house of commons, arriving in Newj York to spend the Christmas holida> a In her-homeland, said, /'Great Britain and the United States most stand firm to the peace of the^ world." Told that both countries, thru their leading 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." Samuel McCaskill Christmas. Frank Montgomery, of Atlanta, Is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs, J. R.
