Burson and O. O. Host, agronomists of the University oi Minnesota. The six steps recommended are: 1. Drainage and cultivation; 2. Liming acid soils; 3. Crop rotation; 4. Maintaining soil organic matter; 5. Use of commercial fertilizers; 6. Erosion control practices. "Keeping a farm permanently productive necessitates a program of true soil conservation," the agronomists point out "In recent years, the term 'soil conservation has been widely used in connection with the physical control of erosion by wind and water. Much emphasis empha-sis has been placed on this phase of soil conservation through the encouragement en-couragement of such practices aa contouring, strip cropping and terracing. ter-racing. "Valuable as these practices are they do not correct the basic causes which make soil erosive. Only by proper land use and intelligent management man-agement of the soil can economic levels of fertility be safeguarded " j 1 h-H t i a 5 s-- -it i I i a s tx:l , 3f v One of six steps recommended, liming acid soils. and .unnecessary wastage from erosion ero-sion be avoided. . . . "Many of our soils are producing lower yields than they once did and fertilizer trials show increased responses. re-sponses. Nutrients are removed from the farm most rapidly by cash crops. All livestock and livestock products also remove nutrients, but less rapidly since part is returned in the manure. A soil conservation program must include the use of fertilizers to replace the mineral nutrients nu-trients sold from the farm."

DDT Killer With Care No one can be too careful In applying ap-plying DOT, the insect-killing chemical chem-ical which Is attracting so much at tention. When the material Is used in bams, poultry bouses, and similar simi-lar places, all feed should be removed re-moved jo that It win not become contaminated. Be reminds that all drinking cups and salt licks should be covered while the DOT Is being applied. The spray must be allowed al-lowed to dry thoroughly before animals ani-mals are permitted to return to the premises. Operators applying DOT spray or dust are urged to avoid getting any more of the material on themselves than is absolutely necessary and the same precaution applies to inhaling the material. Operators should be especially careful with DDT and oil mixtures because the oil penetrates the akin of humans much more readily wan water and, therefore, is much more dangerous to handle. General use of DDT is not advised because there still is considerable research work to be done on Insects and crops. It hss been used safely as a spray for fly, bedbug, louse and roach control In dairy barns and poultry houses, as a spray in combination with bordeaux mixture for the control of flea beetles and leafhoppers on potatoes, and as a spray or dust under certain conditions condi-tions for various household Insects.
