A one hundred thousand dollar appropriation sug gested to start a research and edu cational program for elimination of weed pe3ts has been cut to 25 thou sand dollars by conferees on the gen eral agricultural department appro' priation bill. The 25 thousand dollar fund, the conferees decided, should be spent entirely on the bindweed problem since it is considered the most se rious of the weed pests threatening middlewestern agriculture. The 100 thousand dollar appro priation was tacked onto the bill ln the senate after a delegation cf mid dlewestern weed experts came here to confer with congressmen and fed eral officials on the seriousness of the weed problem, which they ranked second only to soil erosion in its threat to agriculture. They asked 390 thousand dollars. SCHOOL MEN ELECT Seward.

The as sociation was entertained at Con cordia Teachers college. i Erosion Jn State No Need for Alarm Yet Nature Makes Adjustments, D. L. Gross, Agronomist, Finds in His Study of Soil Conditions. "Destructive and uncomfortable as the wind erosion and consequent dust storms have been this year, there is no need for grave alarm for the fu ture," said D. L. Gross, agronomist, on his return from a tour of the state. "Nature has a way of her own cf healing wounds left by the wind. The unusual frequency of dust storms this year is largely a result of the 1934 drouth. So far as Nebraska is concerned, the greatest amount of soil drifting has been on fields plant- ed to corn last year. Land left idle in 1934 corn-hog or wheat adjust- ment program has a irood cover of annual weeds and is in good condl- tion for farming this spring. "The old adage 'seeing is believing' is being demonstrated this year in relation to soil erosion. The dust stornis have caused people to become quite excited about wind erosion. Newspapers have written many head- lines and glaring articles about the damage caused by wind erosion. Peo- pie have flooded congress with tele- grams and letters and prominent men have travelled the length of the con- tinent to Washington, supplicating our congressmen and senators to come to the aid of farmers whose land is being damaged. "The reason people have become excited is because wind erosion and dust storms are very tangible things, We can see dust In the air. We can see it deposited in great drifts in the fence rows. We can see it sift into our homes and settle on our fur- niture. We can see fields badly hum- mocked and greatly reduced in agri- cultural value. "There Is Indeed cause for us to become acutely aware of damage to our land and to our people and to move us to action in seeking . means of combatting this destruction of our natural resources and InJurv to our- selves. Yet, serious as wind erosion is, there is another form of erosion which is causing many times greater! damage to our agricultural land and strange as it may seem people as a whole are scarcely, aware of it. I re- fer to water, erosion. Millions of tons of soil are . washed from our fields each year and carried, beyond recov- ery into oceans., Thousands of acres have been laid to waste as far as agri- culture is concerned. Yet, this de- struction rarely gets a headline. "Altho the damage from soil blow- Ing this spring Is serious, we can expect much permanent good to come from our experience. Soil blowing has taught us 'the , great need iorisiature vegetative cover thruout the winter and soring months. The adoption of strip farming will no doubt receive great impetus. The great advan- tage of planting of different crops I in strips with the purpose of check- ing wind erosion has been clearly I demonstrated this year. "The matter . of water erosion I should receive great consideration.. I It is in this field, that a greater and more permanent damage is occur- ring and It is to this problem that the agricultural college and exten- sion service has been giving major consideration. Indeed if we were to give our whole attention to the mat- ter of conservation of our rainfall, soil loss would be negligible. "On our trip we found there are two different wind erosion problems in Nebraska. The first is located in J the sandhill region, where no emer-jVery gency measure would be effective. I Listing there is not practical. The second is in the heavier or sile clay I regions, where tillage methods will be 1 effective In preventing wind erosion, j The most acute situation is located I in the territory from Furnas county J east thru Webster and extends north I to the river. I A committee at the college of agri-1 culture recommends immediate solid listing ln preparation for planting grain sorghums to stop dust storms. Approximately 90 percent of the corn land in that region Is signed up un der the oorn-hog adjustment pro gram and much land is available for such sorghum plantings." PRESIDENT TO SPEAK New York.
