S. S. 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. The total of all
beneficiaries in Newberry Coun

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.
