What's happened to the missing; farms? The land has been tAen in by other farms, increasing the average size by twenty acres! Does this growth mean farm-, ing's no longer a family enterprise? enter-prise? Just tho opposite! More families own farms today than aver only with labor-saving equipment they can handle more land, mora work. That's as it should be.

S. 20 Billion. WASHINGTON.-ConservaUon of-ficlals of-ficlals say that one-fourth of the nation's na-tion's entire crop land is threatened with irreparable damage by I960 if the present rate of erosion continues. contin-ues. Another 25 per cent of the land faces permanent injury between 1960 and 1075. Failure to act, It was indicated, wfil cost the nation 20 billion dollars In the next 20 years 'n actual cash and without regard to the irreplaceable irreplace-able loss of a vital natural resource. ' Continued retirement of broad areas from cultivation each year well may force a reduction of the American diet, officials added. Pointing up this possibility, they aid census experts estimate that by 1970 the United States will have a population of 170 million, compared com-pared with the present 140 million. ;TEey said so great a population will require more not less land than is producing crops today. The officials stressed that "no one will starve." Instead, the national diet would decline in nutritional quality. There would be a shifting to a heavier heav-ier cereal diet. - According to the soil men, erosion now is making its most vicious attack at-tack upon the rich middle belt of the country. The Midwest long has been considered con-sidered a "permanently" rich bread basket. But intensive cultivation culti-vation of war-important crops in the last few years has exposed millions of acres of precious topsoil to wind and rain, officials said. The 50 per cent of available crop land now suffering from "critical" or "serious" erosion totals 225 million mil-lion acres. Another 210 million acres is undergoing a "slow" eating away. The rest of the nation's farm land resources, or only about 75 million acres, does not need conservation help now and may never need it. Tiny Car, Quarter Ounce, Speeds 131 Miles aa Hour PITTSBURGH. A model auto-mobile auto-mobile that weighs only a quarter quar-ter of an ounce, and attains a speed cf 131 miles an hour In about a second has been constructed con-structed by C. M. Lear, an engineer engi-neer for Vestin;;house Electric corporation at East Pittsburgh. The diminutive machine does not use gasoline, he said. It derives de-rives its power from a metal capsule cap-sule of carbon dioxide similar to that used in a siphon bottle. The vehicle is a racing machine ma-chine and competes at speed tri- alswtth other models built on corresponding lines over a 60 foot "race track." Deer Hunters to Plant Grass Seed In Mountain Areas Sportsmen who hunt deer on the Uinta national forest this fall may render an important service in forest conservation under un-der a unique plan outlined today by L. C. Guymon, chairman of the big same committee of the Provo Wildlife Federation. The committee, according to Mr. Guymon, has made arrangements arrange-ments with Ivan Sack, Uinta forest for-est supervisor, to obtain grass seed for planting on public lands within the forest by tho ueer hunters- The area especially recommended recom-mended for planting is the rough mountain country east of I'rovo -an important winter deer range and watershed, too steep for livestock. Howcve, the seed may be planted any place in the Uinta Uin-ta forest, Mr. Guymon indicated- "The small quantity of seed to be distributed by each hun ter will require but a few minutes min-utes and can be done while hunting," hunt-ing," the chairman stated. "By getting seed distributed over the denuded areas, a greater food supply for big game animals eventually will result." Sportsmen interested In cooperating co-operating in the program should obtain the grass seed at the forest supervisor's office in the federal buildiffg, First North and First West, Provo. When calling for the seed, they should bring a small cloth bag, Mr. Guymon said. While the project is sponsored sponsor-ed by the Provo federation in cooperation with the forest service, ser-vice, Mr. Guymon, who also is secretary-treasurer of the county wildlife federation, indicated that sportsmen from all parts of the county may secure esed for sowing on the forest.
