The water from rains ana meiang snow now rashes ever the bare soil without sinking In and carries the top soil away, to boot Thus our fertile soil Is steadily being washed Into the sea, and life and property are more and more im periled by floods. Example of a conn-try conn-try that did not perceive the same danger now confronting us is China, denuded of trees and other natural vegetation hundreds of years ago and now the perennial victim of the moat disastrous floods since the time of Noah, Millions Spent We have spent hundreds of mil lions of dollars In attempts to con trol floods once they develop, but we scarcely have begun to attack the problem at ihe source the preven tion of floods. Under a new. government subsidy much may be done to restore the fertility of soil and something may be done to halt the wind erosion of the soil that produces the. great dust storms of the last few years. But virtually nothing will be done toward permanent reclothlng of the soil with the verdure necessary to the absorp tion of flood waters at the source. llorrls L. Cooke, engineer and ad ministrator of rural electrification, has been preaching for years the ruin that awaits us unless we mend our waya. toll Erosion Damage.. We must attack the problem of oil erosion control ss we would an armed foe about to defeat us," said Mr. Cooke. "Let things go on as they now are going and in SO years we will have a total area of really fer tile land not much more than three times the also of Nebraska. We are likely to go the way of Asia Minor and Tibet unless we sense our dangerous dan-gerous situation and act promptly." This Is no fanciful picture, accord ing to Mr. Cooke. A single dust storm, he says, has swept away as much as 300,000,000 tons of fertile top soil from the wheat belt; the Mississippi river carries 400,000,000 tons of top soil to the Gulf of Mexico every year; more than 100,0000,000 acres already have been destroyed as crop bearing soil while another 125,000, 000 seres have been seriously im paired for crop bearing and an addi tional 100,000.000 acres are seriously threatened. The total annual damage amounts to $400,000,000. "We unwittingly have broken the balance of nature's forces," saya Mr. Cooke, "by clearing too much of our forests, turning under too much of our sod, and grazing too much of the remainder in such manner ss to destroy de-stroy the grass roots. We have WNU W planted tile, dag ditches and straight ened and cleared creeks and rivers to hasten run-off. Consequently less rain and snow penetrates into underground under-ground storage.
