Soil Erosion
Program in the
State Growing
Contour Ridges Are Employed in
Many Places to Aid in Holding
Soil From Washing.
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 3 (UP)
The fight to save Nebraska soil from
water erosion in receiving new re
cruits from farmers all over the state,
H. E. Engstrom, state coordinator for
the soil conservation service said to
day.
Official service records show that
8,9 40 Nebraska farmers are using
erosion control methods that were not
practiced three years ago, and that a
majority of these projects have been
started in the past year.
Chief among these methods of
"drouth insurance" are contour
ridges and pasture furrows, which
now conserve rainfall on 3.S50 acres
of Nebraska farmlands.
Moisture conservation, however, is
not the only purpose served by the
pasture ridges ami furrows, Engstrom
pointed out
"While these mechanical devices
check erosion on areas not well pro
tected by grass, they also hold or
ganic matter on the pasture land so
that it can be used for grass produc
tion and they keep grass seeds evenly
distributed over the pastures."
In the year ending July 1, 1937, a
total of 785 miles of contour furrows
were constructed on farms of soil con
servation service cooperators. The
agreements between cooperators and
the service also call for the comple
tion of several hundred additional
miles during the next year.
Engstrom emphasized that higher
grass yields were obtained from the
contoured pastures during the 1936
drouth than on the untreated pas
tures, in some cases outlasting the
unprotected grass as much as three
or four weeks.
CCC camps have been active in
demonstrating the practices on field
tours, as well as doing much of the
actual work in eastern Nebraska.
Nineteen supervised tours have been
held, and an estimated 2,300 farm
ers have visited the projects during
the past year.
The demonstration control projects
are located at Albion, Ralston and
Syracuse. CCC camps doing soil con
servation work are stationed at Bea
trice, Blair, Columbus, David City,
Denton, Falrbury, Hartington, He
bron, Humboldt, Tecumseh, Madison.
Nelson, Pawnee City, Ravenna, and
Weeping Water.
TAXLESS BLISS SPANS 4
YEARS FOR HOUSEHOLD
ST. PAUL (UP) Luckiest house
hold in St. Paul, as far as rents goes
at least, is that of Mrs. G. E. Foster
and her son, John.
During an investigation of tax de
linquent lands and buildings, Len
Seamer, city valuation expert, called
on the Foster home, wnicii(was in
cluded in his list of properties to be
investigated.
"Are you the owner?" Seamer ask
ed Foster.
"No."
"Are you renting?"
"No."
"Are you related to the owner?"
"No"
"Has anyone been around to col
lect the rents?"
"No"
"How long have you lived here?"
"About four ysars."
Inquiry revealed the Fosters had
moved in when friends told them the
previous tenants, who also had not
paid rent, moved out. Taxes have
been delinquent since 1920.
