INCAS HAD SOIL
CONSERVATION 400 YEARS AGO
Cu?co, Peru.?If Vic^-Preaident
Henry Wallace corned to (h|8 ancient
capital of the Inca empire on his
expected tour of South America, he
will see proof In practice of what he
has- preached In the United States
about farming.
The Incaa had a soil conservation
program that was so good It still
goes on, 400 years after dissolution
of their empire.
The terraces they built with stone
to hold the soli and prevent erosion
sweep whole mountainsides from top
to bottom for miles around the city
where the Spanish conqulst&dores
found them worshipping the sun.
Indians who till the sou on these
Andean hills today maintain terraces
of like design.
They rotate their crops, too. although
they cannot explain why except
to say that their ancestors did it.
The Incas made a success of an entirely
domestic economy, something
no South American nation since then
has been able to do.
They used practically every device
that Henry Wallace advocated as secretary
of agriculture in the United
States.
They stopped erosion in the hills
by building the terraces which remain
today.
They controlled the Hoods of mountain
streams, sending the water
which would otherwise have been
wasted into irrigation canalH in arid
valleys. Where this water would not
reach, they dug beneath dry sand until
they came to subsoil moisture sufficient
to support crops.
They crushed sardines, which
abound off Peru's coast, and used the
oil for fetrtilizer. They also used the
(tiiann which sea birds deposit on
islands oftshore-?and they protected
the birds from hunPsmen.
They kept the surpluses of fat
years in great storehouses, to be used
in years of crop failure.
They kept records of which lands
were most productive for what purposes.
and made allotments of crops
on that basis.
They differed from Henry Wallace
in one respect. They never tit tempted
curtailment of crops. Everything
was direct ed to ward The 'greatest
possible production. The Incas never!
were concerned about prices or
profits.
The Incas had so much gold and
silver it staggered the imaginations
of the Spaniards who conquered
them, but to them it never meant
money. Their social standard was
not riches but the priesthood and service
to their ruler, The Inca.
No one could grow richer or poorer
as the years passed under the Inca
dynasty. The lands of the kingdom
were divided on a per capita basis.
Every male youth had to marry when
tie reached a certain age, and at that
Lime he was given a house and so
much ground. Each following year
(lis lease was renewed.
If his wife had home a child in the
interim, so much more land was add d
to his farm for the following year:
f the child was a son, the increase
>f land was double the reward for a
laughter. It was impossible to lease
>r sell any of this land to others.
I*arge segments of the terraces and
he aqueducts with which the Incas
extended their farm domafn still
ttand in grand ruins, but the best
if them are the least seen because
>f the widespread notion that it is
langerons to health to cross the high'
Andean passes (some almost three!
miles above sea level) which form the
cateways to the Cuxco valley.
Breath comes short and the henrt

?rs experience worse than a
nausea and most escape with a momentary
airy headache. The night
train from Arequipa, with good Pullman
accommodations, takes the tourist
ovpr one of the highest spots as

I the world, with brilliantly clothed

distance.
BETTER FARM LIVING
AIDED BY CONFERENCE
Olemson, May 31?Better farm living
in South Carolina will receive
greater impetus as a result of the
three day conference of Extension
-Service workers held at Clemson,
May 26-28, when various phases and
angles of the better farm living program
now underway in the state received
attention. Director D. W.
Watklns presided over and' guided the
Joint sessions of the workers. Miss
Lonny I. Landrum, state home demonstration
agent, was in charge of
special sessions of the home demonstration
agents.
Farm agents, home demonstration
agents, extension specialists, and
visiting speakers discussed food and
food production, the place of livestock
and poultry in such a program,
agricultural planning, conservation of
food products, rural electrification,
cold storage of food, nutrition and
health, and other pertinent matters.
The service to farm people promoted
by the Rural Electrification
Authority received special attention
in a discussion led by U. Rail, assistant
to Oscar Meier, head of the cooperative
section REA, Washington.
Mr. Rail is llason officer between the
REA and the Extension Service.
Another special discussion was that
on cold Btorage locker plants and
their value in better farm living led
by L. N. Baker of the Tennessee Valley
Authority.
The general feeling among the
nearly 200 extension workers attending
the conference was that while
some real progress has been made in
the 75 percent food and feed production
program and in the food and
foed dpfiiciency program, there is
still much to be done in promoting
better farm living. It is felt also
that farm people and to some extent
the general public are more awake
1 than heretofore to the value of and
need for a type of farming that takes
account of home and national defense,
production of living needs, improved
nutrition standards and better health
for rural people, as well as better
cash income.
WINSTON-SALEM POLOIST
HURT IN CAMDEN TILT
Winston-Salem, N. C., May 30?
Earl Shnw, nationally known poloist,
lay in a serious condition at City hospital
here tonight as the result of injuries
suffered in a polo game this
afternoon between Winston-Salem
and Camden, S. C.
Misfortune stalked the WinstonSalem
team in its first game of the
season when Player-Coach Shaw waa
in collision with Camden's Joe Bates
in a bruising contest for the ball. As
Shaw swung at the ball on a difficult
play, his pony went down and the
riders legs were pinned under hie
mount.
Shaw was still unconscious seven
hours after the mishap. Attending
physicians said he had a skull fracture
and hip injury. They described
his condition as very serious".
A native Texan, he formerly played
' polo at Plnehurst and Camden, S. C.
Ho once rode with such outstanding
players as "Rube" Williams and Cecil
Smith.
COTTON ROOT LICE
CONTROL PUBLI8HED
Florence, May 31-r-Root lice are
( responsible for much more Injury to
seedling cotton in the spring than is
( generally realized, according to C. F.
Rainwater, assistant entomologist at
I the Pee Dee Experiment Station,
whose investigations are being made
in cooperation with the Bureau 'of Entomology
and Plant Quarantine of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
As a result of Rainwater's studios
the Bureau has issued mimeographed
Cicular E 633 entitled Cottop Root
Aphlds and Their Control, which may
be had from the Pee Dee Experiment
Station, or from the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
This circular briefly describes the
j three kinds of root aphids or lice that
damage cotton. It also shows photographs
of the type of Injury they
cause and how their presence on cotton
roots may be determined.
The root lice are dependent on ants
for placing them on the roots of cotton,
the circular explains. The ants
move them from the roots of one
plant to another through tunnels
which they construct under the
ground. In return, the root lice give
off a sweetish substance called "honeydew"
of which the ants are very fond.
It is this fondness of the ants for
sweets which led to the discovery of
a control for the aphids. If the ants
are killed, the aphids have no way of
getting fom the roots Of weeds on
which they pass the winter to the
young cotton.
An effective sweetened bait for controlling
the ants can be made by mixing
1 pound of sugar, 1 quart of syrup,
1-2 pound of tartar emetic in a gallon
of water and bringing to a slow boll
while stirring occasionally. Seven or
S pounds of cotton seed hulls are then
stirred in to absorb the liquid and the
bait is ready for distribution in the
fields. These ingredients will make
enough bait to treat an acre of cotton
and cost about 35 cents. Small handfuls
of bait are placed about 10 feet
apart on every third row of cotton.
Best results are obtained by baiting
just as the cotton begins to come up.
The bait should be applied shortly
after a rain on a warm, sunny day
when the ants are active.
?Cultural-practices?such -as- -seed planting,
fertilization, etc., which help
to reduce root lice Injury are also discussed.
