BENEFITS (continued from page one) tionwide, the increase in retired worker beneficiaries was 578,416, and the total of monthly payments to them increased from $130,217,- 439.00 to $164,659,061.00 in the same period. Miss Pressly said that many of us are inclined to think of old- age and survivors insurance under the social security system as a program for retired workers and their dependents exclusively. As the figures relating to mothers and children indicate, however sur vivors benefits are an important part of the program too. Other beneficiaries on the rolls in Newberry County are wives and aged dependent husbands of re tired insured workers, aged widows and dependent widowers of deceased workers, and depen dent parents who are receiving survivors benefits.

Building Fertility To Cut Farm Costs By JUDITH EDWARDS Air, sunlight, rainfall, and soil are the natural resources that come to mind first since they are found all over the face of the earth and are necessary to all of the higher forms of life. In man’s progress through history he has discovered other natural resources in the earth and has learned to make use of them. Nature took care of her resources until man threw her work out of balance. Most virgin soils were fertile and were protected * against erosion by a covering of trees and other vegetation. Plants grew where- ever temperature, moisture, and soil conditions permitted. Animals thrived where food and shelter were sufficient. The flow of rivers, streams, and springs was more constant the year round, and the water was not contaminated by industrial and other wastes. •Nature’s methods were success ful because natural laws had free play and the forces of nature bal anced each other. The organic re sources are dependent upon soil and water. The principal natural factors limiting their production are the amount of fertile land and proper moisture conditions. Much of the productive and potentially productive land has been Impaired thtpugh ignorance, exploitation, and mismanagement. Man has also wasted many of the resources pro duced on the land and, in so doing, has accelerated soil depletion. A great deal of science has been applied to the broad field of agri culture during the past century. Soil chemistry has done much to maintain soil fertility. While agri cultural science has progressed over a considerable period of time, soil and water conservation has been virtually ignored. Only in re cent years has interest in the con servation of natural .resources be come strong enough to give rise to action. The establishment of soil conservation experiment stations in 1929 and of the Soil Conserva tion Service in 1935, followed soon afterward by farmer-operated soil< conservation districts, gave real impetus to the soil and water conservation movement. Soil erosion happens when heavy rains fall on eloping land where there is little or no pro tection. When the row® are run ning up and down hill, the field is mrt terraced, and there is little vegetation for protection. As a re sult, the rushing water will carry away valuable topsoil that can never be replaced. Soil blowing, or wind erosion, is a hazard on much of the cultivated land of the Great Plains area. To prevent severe blowing only land suitable for crops should be cultivated and crops should be managed so as to control erosion. Land not suited to cultivated crops should be kept in grass. Through soil erosion We are losipg close to five billion tons of soil miateral, top soil and subsoil com bined, frofti fields, pastures, abandoned Areas, and woodlands each year. Fires, too often man- made, have ravaged millions of acres of land once in forests and made it easy prey to erosion. The damages were many times greater on the land not protected against fire than on protected areas. Stream-bank erosion sweeps tons of soil into streams every year. Flood water from cleared water sheds are responsible for much streambank erosion. It usually starts where land is cleared of trees and vegetation and plowed to the edge of a stream. Silt wash ed from unprotected land on the watersheds has filled thousands of power, irrigation, and water- supply reservoirs. Most of this silt comes from fields cultivated in clean-tilled crops. A good crop rotation is a basic requirement for soil and water conservation on cultivated land. It consists of different crops in a regular system that will reduce erosion and keep the land pro ductive. Cover crops are thick growing crops usually planted as a part of a rotation for soil im provement and soil erosion con trol. They are used at a time when there are few or no other plants to protect the land from wind or water erosion.. Strip cropping is planting alternate strips of close growing crops, like grass or clover, between clean-tilled crops, like corn or cottori, on the contour. The strip of close-growing crop holds the water. Waterways are neces sary to take care of surplus water from terraces and contour rows. Most Waterways are^ protected against erosion by a permanent cover of grasses, legumes, or vines. Good pastures are a result of good land use, proper seedbed preparation, proper seeding and fertilization; also rotation grazing, adequate carrying capacity, and good distribution of salt water, and shade. Flood wtaters are re tarded by an upstream flood-con trol dam. Terraces, contour cultivation, strip cropping, pasture improve ment, grassed waterways, gully planting, and Ijay. crops stow down runoff and help prevent erosion above the dam. Sheltenhelts and windbreaks add to the value of farihs because they protect the crops- against damage from drying winds. Damage of fertile land is an important part of soil and water conservation. Irrigation has brought millions of acres of land into agricultural use in the West where rainfall is light. On field borders and small “odd”’*^areas^ good conservation farmers ofter plant grasses, legumep, shrubs, vines, trees, and other useful Diants for. erosion control and the protection of wildlife. A land-capability inventory fur nishes facts for a sound farm con servation plan. The complete farm conservation plan is prepared jointly by the farmer and the Soil Conservation Service technician. Together they work up the land use or farm conservation plan map and a detailed schedule of prac tices based on the capabilities of the land. Research is conducted to find the character, causes, and effects of soil and water losses and to develop conservation farming practices that will protect the land and related water resources.
