Conservation Practices Maintain Soil’s Productivity
Prevention of Erosion,
Replacement of Minerals
Chief Effort in Program
What will the American farmer do
after the war? Will he be able to
grow and market the huge record
crops of wartime? Will his land
stand up under the stress of huge
crops year after year?
Early surveys indicate that the
sturdy sons of the soil were already
thinking out these problems in the
midst of completing another amaz
ing record harvest of food and fiber
last year, according to the War
Food administration.
Problems of volume of crops and
adequate markets must await post
war developments, but both the
American farmer and Uncle Sam
are prepared to make necessary ad
justments that will retain for the
farmer the stability he has enjoyed
during the war.
First on the list of rural postwar
planning to maintain production are
rest and rehabilitation of the na
tion’s soil, reports show. Despite
care to preserve the land better than
in World War I, continuous years
of record production have taken
their toll. But WFA points out that
farming for war has clearly demon
strated the value of conservation
practices as protection for the soil,
as well as an aid to increased yield
and highei quality crops.
Acre yield in 1943 was 23 per cent
greater than in 1935, the year be
fore the government’s conservation
programs began to receive special
emphasis. The 1944 harvest indi
cates a probable acre yield 6 pei’
cent more than last year, or about
29 per cent higher than the 1935
figure.
More than half the entire land
area of the United States is in
farms, a total of 1,060,852,000 acres
This includes cropland, rangeland
and woodland. About 530.131,000
acres are available for crops.
More and more farmers have
learned to protect their land from
erosion by strip-cropping, contour
ing and terracing. They are replac
ing minerals and other soil nutri
ents depleted by constant cropping,
and are using soil rebuilding crops
and other conservation practices to
protect and enrich the land.
Boost Yield in Idaho.
Out in Idaho, for example, on five
acres of land where sweet clover
was turned under, the per acre har
vest of potatoes last year was 5,991
pounds greater than on the rest of
the field where no green manure
was used. Similarly, contour farm
ing with intertilled crops in the
north central states raised the com
yield 5.3 to 12 bushels per acre, and
in the southern states increased cot
ton yield 29 pounds per acre. In
addition, this practice was reported
to have resulted in a national sav
ing of soil ranging from 1.5 tons
to 126 tons per acre per year.
Emphasis, during the war, of
necessity has been on such better
farming methods as would give im
mediate results in increased yield
and be simple to put into effect,
WFA points out. Postwar farming
will turn its attention to the longer-
range practices, the more complex
measures that may take additional
labor and money, and a longer time
to complete, but which bring more
lasting returns and make for a bet
ter balance of land and use.
Expansion of irrigation is ex
pected to be one of the important
larger conservation practices which
will receive additional emphasis,
particularly in the far west states.
So important is planned irrigation
to the productivity of western farm
ing, says WFA, that the irrigated
area, which includes only about 3
per cent of the land in farms and
11 per cent of the cropland, pro-

duces some 30 per cent of the crop^ -
income.
One benefit of a well-planned and
executed conservation program on
a farm is that fewer acres need to
be planted to produce the same size
harvest taken on land farmed with
out conservation practices. This
means that a farmer, by using the
right practices for his land, can rest
one acreage while producing on an
other, yet get the same amount of
a crop that in “pre-conservation”
days required planting of the entire
acreage. In this way, all his soil
will be kept in tip-top condition, he
will get the crops he needs, and they
will be of a higher quality and bet
ter nutritional value.
Sommer Fallow.
Most successful farm plans in
areas such as the Pacific Northwest
and the western portion of the Great
Plains include summer fallow as a
regular part of the year’s program,
according to WFA. Experimental
results in Oregon and Idaho show in
creases of 19.3 bushels and 19.1
bushels of wheat per acre, respec
tively, on fallow, compared to the
return from land under continuous
cropping.
A group of West Virginia farmers
reported that forage production in
creased 57 per cent on their farms
from the application of a ton of
ground limestone and 180 pounds of
triple superphosphate per acre. At
the same time, the protein content
of the forage increased more than
40 per cent.
Some 3,650,000 farms last year
carried out one or more practices
under the Agricultural Conservation
program administered by AAA. A
considerably larger number is esti
mated as participating in 1944. The
success of these practices, as war
time measures, can be expected to
influence not only these men but
their neighbors as well in carrying
out a postwar conservation pro
gram.
Raising Okra for Oil Seed
May Be New Southern Crop
Okra is emerging as something
more than a vegetable of debatable
merit, and is making a bid as a
major oil crop for the south.
This plant belongs to the cotton
family. Its fruit is a pod, 6 to 10
inches long. Usually the pod is
picked when green, before the seeds
have set their oil. In dry okra pods,
however. Dr. Julian C. Miller,
Louisiana State university’s noted
plant geneticist, discovered seeds
which produced abundant oil, equal
in food quality and wholesomeness
to cottonseed oil, and suitable also
for use as a drier in paint.
In addition, the okra fiber is
long and tough, many have a place
in making cordage. Both the fiber
and the pithy material surrounding
the seeds may prove, a source of
cellulose similar to peanut hulls.
Dr. Miller promptly began breed
ing new varieties of okra, to be
harvested for seed, rather than to
be used as vegetables, has come
up with an okra which yields 1,000
to 2,000 pounds of seed per acre,
with the seed having an oil content
of 18 to 22 per cent. This means
okra may produce 180 to 440 pounds
of oil per acre, against a production
of 50 to 80 pounds of oil per acre
from cottonseed.

HOLD STEADY
Even though the manpower short
age is acute in high schools all over
the country, we’re still getting re
ports on steady staff from the
hearts-and-flowers department. They
come under the heading of vital sta
tistics. of course.
Tag Days—Everybody’s wearing
those little leather edged luggage
tags with the pel-
lophane centers.
If she wears a
boy’s picture in
her tag you know
she’s going
steady. If there’s
nothing in the tag
but cellophane,
she’s an Orphan
Annie. Boys wear
them, too, carry
ing out the same idea in reverse.
Ticker Tape—One stripe of adhe
sive tape on a boy’s jacket or sweat
er sleeve means he’s a wolf on the
prowl, two stripes mean he’s going
steady, three stripes mean he’s en
gaged. Is that the same as saying,
“Three Strikes and He’s Out.”
Half ’n Half—When a boy gives
his steady one of those handclasp
friendship rings, he breaks it apart
and keeps one half; she keeps the
other. They wear them on their
watch chains or ribbons.
Little Boy—Mother, it it true that an
apple a day keeps the doctor away?
Mother—Yes, son.
Little Boy—Well, give me an apple,
mother. I just threw a ball through the
doctor’s window.

How do you''No”? What l mean is, how
do you reject an invitation to pitch woo?
Two types of gals are bound to lose out—
the ones who say “Yes” too easily and the
ones who flare up at the very idea. Its the
gal who says “No’’ with charm and tact who
usually wins the popularity contest. Re
member, it’s just as important to save your
beau’s pride as it is to save your own repu
tation—that is, if you want him to call you

ART
We went Into on artist’s show.
With sister Emmeline;
The finer things of life to know.
Ere passing to decline.
Wo saw all kinds of so-called art.
In shapes distorted—strange—
And some wonld make the eyeballs
smart.
While some would care the mange.
But finally we came to one—
It was a simple thing—
A simple eanvas deftly done—
With verve and dash and swing.
It showed a cowboy on caynso.
Before a pasture bars.
He’d stopped to light a fag—limbs
loose—
By light of western stars.
We said, “By golly, this Is great,”
It struck ns right and pat.
It went to onr aorta straight—
Hit ns where we were at.
Onr sister looked exceeding smart—
Superior—calm and cool.
She said, “Old top, it is not art.
Of past or modern school.
It is a mere photography.
Unworthy of serious thought.
So don’t stand there—eome on with
me.
And look at what yon ought!”
We humbly, dutifully obeyed.
As always we have done.
But in onr mental gall’ry stayed
That one . . . and only one!

Many girls are hostesses at USO
dances and canteens and Service
organizations. These girls are doing
fine morale - building work and
should be complimented on the ef
fort they are making toward win
ning the war.
Numberless soldiers and sailors
have been cheered by the smile and
interest of a hostess they have
danced with and talked with.
They have gone out of the coun
try, to battle stations, cheered by
the smile of “the girl at the Stage
Door Canteen.”
There are many, many types of
volunteer war work for young girls,
and every girl should do something
to help win the war—roll bandages,
spot airplanes, donate blood, work
in any of the volunteer agencies or
be hostess at the service clubs.
