An esti- - FARMaHOME Conservation on Ruined Land Soil specialists report that about 100 million acres of once good cropland have been ruined by ero-sion, and that about 500,000 acres are being lost each year. The meaning of "ruined" and "lost" is discussed by Alma J. Christensen, Chairman of the Millard County Agricultural Conservation Commit-tee. In the first place, says the chair-man, the lost and ruined land can-m- ot just be written off the books as that much land we don't have to bother about. It is one of the real threats to the good cropland still remaining. If not checked, the run-o- ff from that land creates the destructive floods that destroy oth-er lands. The top-so- il is gone and there is little left to support vege-tation, which in turn will hold the moisture. Gullies start in the ruin-ed land and "eat" back into the good land. Some of this .damaged land is being brought back to where it is no longer the threat is used to be. In the South, kudzu and trees are now growing on badly eroded land. In many areas grass and some of the more hardy shrubs are being used to keep erosion under con-trol. Crops like corn, soybeans, or small grains cannot be grown on badly damaged land. It is too cost-ly to bring much of it back into production even if it were possible, but it is being brought back for use as pasture and woodlots. Its value may never be great, but the vegetation which is being produced is protecting the land from further erosion and checking its spread. The chairman points out that one of the jobs of the Agricultural Conservation Programs is to help heal the scars of the past and to keep the damage from spreading. Farmers are assisted in carrying out usnsarvatlafi- jrsciices which, reduce the threat. Reports' frorK1 farmers in this and from otheP1 counties indicate that with the of the program practices to hol the land axe increasing. Vegetatioi ' is being restored, dams are beinfu built and terraces are being conj structed. Because of its importance in sup plying meat, leather and wool thru the livestock industry, in protect-ing watersheds and conserving soil, range conservation has become an established part of the Agricultural Conservation Program. Airfield Dust Controlled by Straw At some of the desert airfields during the war there was difficulty in controlling the dust. Often it was too dry to grow grass and ma-terials to pave the fields were not available. The dry farming method of straw mulching was tried. The field was broken up to a depth of about six inches. About two tons of straw per acre were spread on the broken ground and this cut up with a big disc at least 23 inches in diameter and set straight. The method worked as well for the air field operators as it does for farmers who have to "anchor" their summer fallow in the Agri-cultural Conservation Program. The benefits showed up in the operat-ing of airplane engines. Before the control of the dust the average fly-ing time between engine changes was 397 hours. After the dust was controlled, the average time was 523 hours. Thepld straw mulch improvements; a new heat-a- nt installed, rest rooms, s painted, etc. When finish-i- ll be one of the best recre-lall- s in this area, mber of the parents enjoyed jinual day of schooling at ligh School, Wednesday, Feb. 4 : t le Henderson and Carol i, from the BYU, were home he weekend, visiting their ;, Mr. and Mrs. Warren Hen-an- d Mr. and Mrs. Henry ISridgadiers Are Entertained Mrs. Mary Hunsaker was host-ess to the Bridgadiers at dinner and bridge on Thursday night, with twelve ladies present.

Spotlighting etn UTAH f . us Private Interests Promoting Southeastern Utah Looking forward to an increased tourist visitation to Utah durini the coming season, private tour ag-encies are now announcing plans tor the coming season relative southeastern Utah. The Utah Won-derland Stages under the manage-ment of Stewart Campbell will go into their second year of operations this summer.

From Cedar City, Harry Aleson, for the past ten years director of the Colorado Up River expeditions, announces his summer activities, all of which involve southeastern Utah tours except one which he calls the "Flight North". This is a color photographer's expedition scheduled to fly in a chartered multi-motor- plane from Salt Lake City to Edmonton, Canada, thence over the Arctic ocean to one hundred miles beyond the Arctic Circle, and then return. Only 20 persons will be accepted for the trip. Alaskan Highway Open The Alaskan Highway has been thrown open to the public, and all previous permit requirements in effect have been eliminated. Mo-torists who would drive to Alaska, are warned to secure road informa-tion relative to this highway from the Canadian Government before planning trips. Tourist Shift Seen To South America American tourists are shiftingj their interests from Europe to Western Hemisphere countries, gov-- " ernment travel experts opine. The U. S.

The American Automobile tion says a member-surve- y gives every indication of a "great up surge" in touring during 1948. In Utah, motor courts, eating es-tablishments and gas stations an starting to get ready for a bit summer tourist season.
