THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN, MOUNT '| PREVENTING EROSION OF FARM LANDS GULLIED FIELD | (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) The existence of vast areas of so- called worn-out hill lands throughout the United States may be attributed chiefly to soil erosion, due to the natural agencies of wind, frost and rain. In most localities wind and frost, owing to their comparatively slow processes, play but a minor part in the depletion of the soil and the ulti- mate destruction of good farm lands. It is the failure of the soil to absorb the rain water which falls upon it that presents by far the most serious as- pect of the problem. As an indication of the damage done by erosion, it is estimated that the Potomac river each year carries off in solution about 400 pounds of solid matter per acre of land drained, containing plant food suffieient to produce a crop. Unless such loss be replaced annually by natural agencies or the application of fertilizer, it is obvious that the land soon will deteriorate greatly in pro- ductiveness and eventually be aban- doned. In addition to the loss through ero- sion of the soluble elements of the soil, a noticeable impairment occurs in the physical condition of the soil. When the moving water washes the soil particles from the surface of the hillside and deposits them on the land below, the heavier particles, or the sandy constituents of the soil, are de- posited first, and the finer, or clay, parts last. nor pure clay possesses the produc- tive characteristics observed in a soil composed of the proper intermixture of sand and clay particles, it Is appar- ent that the effect of this sorting pro- cess Is to diminish greatly the fertility or productive power of the soil. Hence, not only the eroded land suffers but also the land at a lower level upon which the eroded material is deposited. Forms of Erosion. Erosion due to moving water occurs in two forms—sheet washing and gul- lying. Small areas are practically ruined by gullying, while sheet wash- ing diminishes the productive power of large areas. Gullying generally {is the most dreaded of the two types on account of its more apparent destructive ef- fects. Where the ravages of erosion proceed unchecked, deep gullies in- variably develop in the field. Their appearance causes not only absolute loss of land and inconvenience in cul- tivating, but a marked lowering in the water table, with a possible accom- panying inability of the soll to retain the proper moisture content for the production of crops and to withstand periods of drought. The injury due to sheet which occurs throughout the United States, generally is underestimated and is regarded by many farmers as washing, this type of erosion that slowly car- ries away the very fertility of the soil without apprising the farmer—except through slightly diminished crop yields each year—that the application of remedial measures is imperative in order to save his farm. Methods of Preventing Erosion. Erosion Is due chiefly to the free movement of water over the surface of the land, which carries off particles of soil. If all rain water were ab- sorbed by the ground upon which it falls, soil erosion would be reduced to a minimum. It i8 obvious, therefore, that in order to prevent reduce erosive action the soil must treatment that is conducive to the ad- mission and the storage of large quan- | titles of rain water; and methods must be employed to reduce the velocity, and thereby the transporting power, of the run-off water. . i Since the storage capacity of a soil | depends upon its porosity, any treat- ment which results in an increased porosity of the soil will reduce erosion materially. This porous condition or | Quinine drives out malaria, the Iron Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These There's no ay co TRI need of Natural Elation. { feeling ashamed of your freckles, as the Why the ecstatic frame of mind?” | prescription othir¢ — double strength — is clon s guaranteed to remge these homely spots. | asked the man he met as he stepped | Simply get =n punes of Se Jouble off the car. “You seem supremely | strength—from y r druggist, and apply a . 2 | little of it night and morning and you happy.

Methods of subsurface drainage which lower the ground water level improve | the porous structure of the soil and in- crease its ability to absorb surface water. The treatment of cover, such as seeding land to pasture, growing | timber, and planting cover crops in the winter, tends to check and diminish erosion greatly. Other methods which retard the flow of the water and con- duct the excessive run-off from the field with a reduced amount of erosion, | are confcur plowing, hillside ditching, and terracing. Deep Tillage. By deep plowing the absorptive pow- | er and reservoir capacity of a soil is increased greatly. It is said that ten inches of ioose, plowed soil will nb- sorb two inches of rainfall.

N NORTH CAROLINA. humus in a soil adds materially to its moisture-holding capacity, This {is best accomplished by plowing under deeply, manure, stubble, stalks and various cover crops. This organic matter, in a decomposed state, is capable of absorbing considerable wa- ter and forms a richer and deeper top soil. Vegetation or cover crops will pro- tect the soil in four ways: (1) by holding rain water on the surface for a time, thus giving the soil a better opportunity to absorb the wa- ter; (2) by keeping the soil open through the growth of the roots, which form passages for the water to reach the subsoil; (3) by holding the soil particles together through the binding power of the roots; and (4) by reducing the movement of soil particles through diminishing the velocity of surface wa- ter. Cover crops usually are grown during the winter or when the land otherwise would be idle. Vetch, clover, cowpeas, oats, wheat and rye are com- monly used for cover crops. Level Culture. Contour plowing and the following farm operations tend to check the sur- face flotv down a slope and to retain the water where it falls. In cultivat- ling crops, each row is banked up and [a shallow depression which holds the | | surface water is left between the rows. | Thus the absorption by the soil of this impounded water is facilitated and the rapid run-off down the slope, with its destructive eroding power, often is rains. Contouring contributes also in a considerable degree to the conserva- tion of moisture on hill lands. Often it seems impossible to prevent seeded to pasture and usually retained as such. In well-sodded pasture land the soil is not exposed directly to the erosive action of the water, so that erosion is much less destructive than in cultivated fields. In many sections of the country | timberland on excessively steep slopes | has been cleared for cultivation, and in many instances after clearing it was found impossible to control or check | the erosion. Such lands should be re- | verted to timber; otherwise the rav- | ages of erosion will reduce it soon to a state of barrenness. It is known | that erosion is least active in forested | binding power of the roots and the ac- | cumulation of a thick layer of leaves | and organic matter on the soil surface. Underdraining. | Tt ean be seen readily that by the underdraining of land to carry off the excess water from the soil space is created for the reception of more wa- ter from the surface. The water fall- ing upon the surface sinks into the soil, percolates through it, and is con- ducted away by the underdrains to an open drainage channel without running over the surface and causing destruc- tive erosion. Entrapped air, which often prevents the entrance and free movement of water in the soil, finds a | means of eseape through subdrainage channels. The physical condition of i the soil is altered by underdrainage | through the aeration and flocculation | of the soil particles. A perceptible ex- | pansion and a slight upheaval of the soil take place, resulting in an increase lin the size of the individual pore | spaces. Hence, the rainfall percolates { more easily and quickly into the soil diminution in fand a the run-off fol- lows.

Some farmers are guilty of unneces- four weeks old or more some of them First, after plowing a deep seedhbed for corn and pulverizing it well they think it best to cultivate the small corn the first time with a shovel plow and let the moisture from the depth escape. Second, when the corn is four weeks old or more some of them still persist in using a shovel plow, dig- ging into the radical roots of the grow- ing corn and thus wasting from 5 to | 40 per cent of the yield of corn by lacerating the root system, more or less.

(By T. E. QUISENBERRY, Missouri.) How are we to breed so that we may | improve the quality of the eggs? We know it to be a fact that a hen lays | essentially the same color and shape egg year in and year out. Of course we know that the first eggs of a pul- let are small and will gradually in- crease in size until they reach their normal state. We also know that in varieties of poultry which lay brown | eggs the last eggs of a “litter” will be | somewhat lighter in color than will the first eggs laid, so we can see that the shape and color of an egg changes slightly. In attempting to breed to improve | the quality of eggs, we advise the se- | Incubator With Removable Nursery Underneath Egg Tray. the kind which you wish to produce. If you want dead-white eggs, do not | Incubate any that are tinted in the | least. If you want a pure, uniform brown egg, then select only that kind. See that none of them weigh less than two ounces and are of the perfect | shape which you desire, and all of | sound, smooth shell. Use males for mating with these selected hens that were hatched from hens that lay the same kind of an egg. Use the same process of selection the following year, | and in a short period of time you will | find that the number of eggs which will have to be culled out will grow gradually less and less. A much larger | percentage of your eggs will grade as | firsts. It is advisable to use hens for breed- ing purposes because they lay a larger | | | | egg than the pullets, and they lay fewer eggs in the fail and winter and are in much better condition for breeding purposes in the spring months than are the pullets. YOUNG CHICKS NEED WARMTH Be Careful in Removing Little Fellows From Incubator—Prevent Chill- ing Is Main Thing. In removing chicks from the incu- bator to the brooder great care must be taken to prevent them from being chilled. This can well be accom- plished by placing them in a basket and covering them with a cloth laid lightly over the chicks or with burlap or cotton cloth laid over | box | the basket. A shallow wooden having a muslin cover makes a very convenient chick carrier.

The temper- ature should be lowered gradually about five degrees per week until dudr- ing the fourth week it is running at 85 degrees. If very high temperatures are maintained for long periods it lowers the vitality of the brood and many deaths are sure to result. ATTENTION TO EARLY CHICKS Provide Enough Warm Broders to Ac commodate and Keep Alive Incubator Hatches. The early chick should be the er paying chick, and will if you take care of it.

The sailor is needed to man the ships that protect the shores, police the seas and clear the ocean of tormenting and meddlesome masked buccaneers, to give help to the allies, to make more efficient the present fighting units that are keeping free the sealanes and ocean routes. The soldier is required to keep alive and intact the unity of the nation and the freedom of the world, to protect the lives of its citi- zens from incursions without and raids within, to guard the honor and pre- serve the dignity of the great United States, to render not only sentimental but practical assistance to those who for two and a half years on the bat- | tlefields of Flanders and the steppes | of the East have been fighting for the | freedom of the world against a domi- | nant autocratic and militarist Prus- | sianism, which, were it to become suc- | cessful, would mean autocratism, mil- | itarism and Prussianism, and a “get- | off-the-sidewalkism” over the entire | World. The allies are proud to wel- i come these new aceessions to the fight- | ing forces, which mean an earlier ter- | mination of the war and the dawn of | an era that will be historic, one that we will all be proud that we lived | in. Throughout all Canada, Great Britain, France, and all the allied coun- tries, when the news was received that the United States had entered the war, { a thrill went up and down the nation’s sides, and the pulses throbbed with a | new life, keenly appreciative of the | practical sentiment that had brought | to their sides an ally of the strength | and virility of the United States. | But the soldier and the sailor need | to be fed, and therefore the cry for | agricultural enlistment, The strength | of the fighting man must be main- i tained. In his absence from the field | there comes the necessity for provision | to take his place. The appeal for farm | help is well timed, opportune and im- | portant. There are vacant lands a- | plenty in the United States that, given | a fair opportunity under competent ad- | visement and reasonable help, will pro- duce abundantly. Western Canada | also provides an excellent field for the | prosecution of work in growing wheat and other grains, and while it is not | the desire of the Canadian Government | to draw from the resources of the | United States, believing that it is the | duty of every patriotic citizen to do all he possibly can to build up the stores of depleted foods and making use of every energy at home, the wish is to lay before the public the fact that Canada has millions of acres of excellent land capable of producing wonderful crops. If for any reason the reader, havir; patriotism and a love of his country in his heart, and a desire to forward the cause of the al- | lies, cannot avail himself of the oppor- | | | | | | | | tunities afforded in the United States, | Western Canada will be glad to ren- | der him any assistance it can in locat- ing him on its vacant areas, where large crops can be grown at minimum of cost. Let us grow the grain, raise the cattle, produce the food to feed our soldiers, our sailors and provide food for our allies, no Miatter whether it is done to the North or to the South of the boundary line that in the object in view should not be known as a boun- dary. Let us keep up the spirit of pa- triotism, whether it be growing grain { in the United States or in Canada, but Canada, fully alive to the necessity, joins in the appeal of its allies—the United States—for more food and more food.—Advertisement.
