A change in the other direction from light to drk usually indicates improvement, more organic matter. But a fading soil in most cases means fading crop returns. In central Texas the rolling black lands uniformly black have faded in many places to gray, yellow, and even almost white, as if something had drawn the life blood, and erosion has clone just that. Erosion, speeded up by cultivation, has profoundly altered soil conditions in the Texas black lands, the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils of the United States Department of Agriculture has found. This land in a virgin condition produced from k to 1 bale of cotton per acre without manure or fertilizer of any kind. Now the region is a mixed black, gray, yellow, and white area, so rapidly has erosion skinned off the successive layers of soil from black, almost superproductive clay on top, down to white, comparatively unproductive subsoil. This change has occured in 40 years of cultivation. This damage has been caused chiefly by sheet eosion, scarcely noticeable as it takes place, but which carries off a portion of the essential topsoil every time there is a rain. Twenty-thre- e tons of topsoil were removed from each acre by a single rain, measurement on an average slope showed. This single rain affected 3,000 000 acres of Texas land. Department soil specialists warn that unless vastly more is done in the future to protect the erosive slopes of Texas than has ever been done in the past the rolling areas of this great belt are doomed to destruction. cotton-producin- g TEACHER KILLED Parowan People learned with regret on Tuesday morning of this week that Miss. Lillian Jensen of Menden, Utah, who has been a teacher in the high school here for the past two years and who was to have returned this fall, was killed in an automobile accident in Southern Idaho the first of the week.

They were visiting with a brother in Idaho when the accident happened. Times. o Work was started on the new $30,000 armory building at Richfield last Saturday and the excavating is now well under way. Several teams have been employed locally and there are some ten or twelve local laborers on the job now. DEMAND WORK Helper Unemployed of the co. took an organized stand to probe work- ing conditions of the County Monday evening when over 200 gathered a the county court house to demand action and assistance from the county in rotating county commissioners work and tc investigate the hiring of out of county men on county road projects.

Throne Company of Springville on the Price-Ca- t cayon project. organization appointed to represent the jobless in negotiations, with contractors regarding the employment of local lobor. A resolution was also passed at the same meeting urging the county commissioners to ask employers of labor to either shorten working hours, so two shifts could be run daiJy, or rotate the work the unemployed. It was also suggested that 'several camps be run on the project, and the labor distributed along the route instead of being centralized.
