Millions of dollars of good rich
iirt are losi to American farms ev
ery year by the action of water.
This erosion loss has been esti
mated variously,, some placing it as
high as $23,000,000 a year.
The idea of starting at home to
solve this problem appealed to two
bright 4-H Club boys, Kenneth
Ruefer and Grover Hahn. They live
in Scott county, Iowa, and the fine
work they have done first came to
outside attention by a demonstra
tion they made at the Iowa State
Fair, and on Which they were
awarded first prize. Kenneth has
planted over 200 trees and shrubs
in checking loss of soil on his fa
thers farm.
In the demonstrations the boys
put on, they brought the problem
home to their people by calling at
tention to the fact that some over
2,000,000 acres of land in eastern
Iowa have been made practically
worthless by the loss of soil since
this land was opened up back in
the days of the Civil War. One
eastern Iowa county contains 72,000
acres of land ruined by erosion.
That is the equivalent of 450 quart
er section farms.
In the demonstration the tv;o
boys used a miniature field made
of earth and in which they dug a
little gully like those which have
formed on a larger scale in years
past all over the good farming sec
tions of the country. Their meth
od of “curing” these bad places is
to plant trees in them. But un
less the trees are planted correctly
they do not do the trick. Some
people have planted a row of trees
down the middle of the cut out
places. But eventually a new gully
is cut aiongside the row of trees.
These boys advocate planting
trees 'so that they form a sort of
wedge pointing “down stream.” The
wings extend “up stream” and rath
er in the flow of water and land
wastes, forming a sort of dam.
The tree trunks act* as a barrier
to the flow of water and debris. The
rootlets tie the soil together where
it is exposed to erosion. The tree
trunks, branches and leaves act as
a sponge and slow down the move
ment of rain to the earth so that it
is better absorbed when it reaches
the surface. And the rich accum
ulation of vegetation under the
trees further retards the flow of
surface water.
In their demonstration the boys
stuck pieces of branches into the
earth to imitate trees and then
poured water down the gully. The
flow of water was plainly retarded
and a sort of dam formed when
w r aste material was thrown against
the imitation tree trunks.

Progress With Poultry
Shown Over The Statt
CLEMSON COLLEGE, April 18.—
Representative items of poultry
news from county farm, agents over
the state, as given below, show
that poultry raising is more than
ever a paying industry on South
Carolina farms. These stories tell
about more and better poultry
houses and equipment, growing and
mixing feeds, feeding out broilers,
and the sale of poultry and eggs.
“Between 175 and 200 brick
brooders are in operation in Lan- !
caster county,” says W. F. Howell,
farm agent, who reports more than
30,000 chicks being brooded in this
manner. In Newberry county P.
B. Ezell reports increased interest
in poultry as shown by the large
number of new brick brooders and
poultry houses; and R. H. Lemmon,
Fairfield county agent, says in this
connection, “Every farmer is loud
in praise of brick brooders which
are giving complete satisfaction,
and most farmers are losing very
few baby chicks. Ernest Carnes,
Spartanburg county agent, tells of
a co-operative plan between the
county agents and members of the
Kiwanis Club whereby several
thousand baby chicks have been
distributed to 4-H club members.
Claude Rothell, Saluda county
agent, reports the broiler crop mov
ing to market as fast as birds are
finished, nearby cities consuming
the entire output at 25 cents per
pound. In lower Carolina, from
Orangeburg, County Agent R. F.
Kolb reports that co-operative
truck shipments of poultry brought
119 shippers $1219.96. T. A. Bow
en, Pickens county agent, reports
his usual monthly shipment, with
11,000 pounds of live poultry bring
ing $1497.81 to 200 farmers. G. H.
Griffin in the neighboring county
of Oconee reports that during the
past four months five carloads of
live poultry have moved from the
county, netting 1747 farmers $11,-
1 975.66.
