CONFEREES SLASH WEED
ERADICATION FUND TO $25,000
Washington. 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.

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."
