When a farm is classified as a nondiversion farm, the goii-building goii-building allowance is computed on the cropland basis, and this enables the small farmer to participate par-ticipate in the program without throwing his farm 'out of balance,' bal-ance,' which would be the case on many small farms if a large portion of the payment had to be earned by diversion. "Ordinarily a nondiversion farm will be one with less than 20 acres in the soil-depleting base, or one deemed to be in balance in respect to the proportions of the farm in soil-depleting and in soil-conserving crops. "The soil-building allowance will be figured by multiplying 80 cents by the number of acres of cropland crop-land on the farm, adjusted tc productivity. In addition, the soil-building soil-building allowance for these small farms will include $1 for each acre in orchards, vineyards, nut trees, and bush fruits, and for commercial vegetables if single-cropped single-cropped in 1936 and $2 an acre for vegetables if double-cropped in 1936. Also there is a pasture allowance which may be added in some cases. "These nondiversion farms will earn only soil-building payments, as there will be no acreage diversion. diver-sion. The minimum soil-building allowance for a nondiversion farm is $20 an acre." Only Half Farms Found Necessary Dr. O. E. Baker, senior agricultural agri-cultural economist of the U.S.-D.A. U.S.-D.A. addressed the county agents, home demonstration agents and extension specialists at the first session of the extension conference confer-ence held last week at the Utah State Agricultural college. "During the depression 34 per cent of the rural people moved to the city." said Dr. Baker in peaking- on- the economic problems prob-lems in population trends. Unless the birth rate is increased in-creased in the next decade of the century the commercial farming farm-ing needed will be reduced. There are only two-thirds enough' children chil-dren being born to maintain the population of our country. A few years ago we were all concerned with increase in production pro-duction but now, we are more concerned with a decrease in production. pro-duction. From an economic standpoint stand-point only one-half of the farms now in existence are needed. If 50 per cent of the farms were discontinued it would only reduce production by 11 per cent. Only two-fifths of the farmers in the United States own their own land, he pointed out. In 1934 and 1935. 50 per cent of the people in Chicago lost equity in their homes, but if the prosperity we are now having continues there will be a movement move-ment of rural youth to the city. If the reverse should take place and we have another depression the older people in the city will go to the farms. EUREKA RANGE $69.50 Beautiful Modern Design.

The Mississippi jBasm, wnicn extends from the Alleghanies to ways has been relatively treeless. In the old days it was 60 per cent deforested. Since the advent of man it has become 80 per cent so. Therefore it would take a huge reforestation pirogram to make any appreciable impression on the floods. The Forest Service is now buying buy-ing swampland and semi-useless areas for reforestatipn, and since the disastrous flood of 1927 has acquired and planted 8,000,000 acres. However, . forestry experts say this is a mere drop in the bucket, that 50,000,000 acres should be replanted along the Mississippi and Ohio immediately. Meanwhile Congress last year authorized the construction of fourteen reservoirs on tributaries of the upper Ohio river. These, if completed, would have lowered the Ohio river only three feet at Cincinnati during the present flood a minor victory. - PRIVATE PROPERTY Appropriations for flood control con-trol always pass Congress in frenzied fren-zied haste after floods like the present. Then one year later, the flood is forgotten and almost no money is voted. What flood cpn-trol cpn-trol requires is a steady, consistent consist-ent program, instead of frantic speed and then starvation appropriations. appro-priations. Greatest obstacle to flood control, con-trol, however, is private industry. Railroads along the river banks resist raising their tracks. At Monroe, La., for instance, Army I engineers want to raise a rail-; rail-; road bridge, but the company pre-; pre-; fers to gamble with the flood ! that may come again in eight years, rather than pay the day- by-day cost of the increased grade during the years of safety. Same is true along the Ohio river. Most difficult problem at Cincinnati and Louisville is the valuable industrial property along the river banks. Regardless of how much money Congress appropriates appro-priates for flood control, it is ineffective without confiscating this property. And in many cases private business will not move. it ARMED RESISTANCE I Even last week at xsew Madrid, Mo., when the Army engineers cut through the levee to turn the river into the regularly established estab-lished floodway and save Cairo, the people living in that area eat on top of the levee with shotguns shot-guns threatening to shoot if it was cut. About 100 of them still stuck stubbornly in the floodway when finally the Army Engineers blasted the levee. This is the chief difference between be-tween the floods of today and of former recent years. There always al-ways have been floods on the Mississippi Mis-sissippi and Ohio as far as history his-tory is recorded. But in the early days they caused little damage because few people lived along the river. Now man has encroached encroach-ed upon the river bottom. Early floods spread out over a greater area, therefore were not so high. Now, the water is confined within narrow limits, reaches a much greater height. Also it hurtles into the Gulf of Mexico at tremendous speed -a rate of 2,400,000 cubic feet per second. This carries with it an incalculable incal-culable amount of the nation's most precious wealth top-soil. MERRY-GO-ROUND Trees consume water. A rapidly growing forest, experts estimate, may during a year consume and send into the air a volume of water equivalent in depth to 12 inches over its entire area . . . Leading European nations for many years have followed a policy of publicly owned forest protection protec-tion areas as safeguards against undue erosion . . . Forest fires are declared by U.S. Forestry experts ex-perts to have removed as much timber as lumbering operations by man . . . Even in its virgin state, the timbered area of the vast Mississippi Basin was about 500,000 square miles out of an area of 1.231,000 square miles . . . Excessive rains, frozen ground, unwise use of farm lands which permit extensive erosion, and deforestation de-forestation through fires and lumbering, all contribute to Mississippi Mis-sissippi floods . . . The most extensive ex-tensive report on forestry in flood prevention was sent to Congress by President Calvin Coolidge on Feb. 11, 1929. It was made as a result of the disastrous 1927 floods.

Forester Sees Windbreak Aid "When strong winds reach the velocity of 20 miles per hour or more, the heating requirements of your home may be doubled as compared to the heating requirements require-ments of a similar home if protected pro-tected by tree shelter belts," states J. Whitney Floyd, exten-sion exten-sion forester, in commenting on the value of tree planting in Utah. "Tests being carried on by the college at Logan show that temperatures tem-peratures are 2 to 6 degrees higher high-er in the lee of a shelter belt than they -are on the windward side. Thia indicates that in unprotected unpro-tected areas the heating needs of your home will increase as the wind velocity rises," Mr. Floyd says. The majority of homes in Utah are unprotected from the cold winter blasts and more trees should be planted to save fuel for the home and stock feed by protecting feeding grounds, sheds and barns, thus adding greater comfort to the farm yard during the winter months. The compactness of evergreen trees throughout the year makes them particularly valuable as windbreaks. However, it is advisable ad-visable to plant shelter belts with a mixture of hardwoods and evergreens. The hardwoods act as a nursery crop and make the growing of the evergreen trees much more successful. Young forest trees for windbreak wind-break planting are being grown and distributed each year from the forestry nursery of the Utah State Agricultural college at Logan. Lo-gan. More than 150,000 young trees are being cared for at the nursery this year. These trees can be obtained at an average cost of approximately $2.50 per hundred. Anyone wishing information infor-mation relative to the means of obtaining the trees should contact con-tact the county agricultural agent or write to the extension office at Logan.
