Soil Survey of Entire County Photographed from Airplane
Shows Soil Boundaries, Eroded Areas afcd Field Distribution
wasmngion — inisa;— .surveying
the soil of an entire county from
the air is the latest - achievement
of the bureau of chemistry and
soils, United States department of I
agriculture.
The land surveyed was Jennings'
counts 383 square miles, in Indiana.
Pqrnons of a parish in Louisiana
liad pret'Toiisly been photographed
from an airplane but this is the j
first time that air photographs for
a base-map for a soil survey were
made for a complete county. Ap
proximately 430 aerial photographs!
were taken from altitudes varying \
from 13,000 to 15,000 feet.
The project enlisted the co-opera
tion of the federal department of
agriculture and Purdue university
agriculture experiment station
Parts of three days were consumed
in doing the job, since unfavorable
weather conditions did not permit
uninterrupted air-surveying.
All Details at a Glance
The photographs show roads,
houses, streams, soil boundaries,
eroded areas, as well well as the dis
tribution of woodland, fields, shocks
of corn and character of crops.
Mark Baldwin of the Washington
office of the bureau of chemistry
and soils, says while ground sur
veying is necessary for examination
of subsoils, the airplane has proved
its worthiness as an accurate and
speedy method for outlining soil
boundaries and defining areas of
soil erosion.
The comparative costs of soil sur
veying by ground method and from
the air, points out Baldwin, is the
determining factor that will hinder
or speed up the development of
soil-mapping by airplane. The 383
square miles comprising Jennings |
county were surveyed at a cost of

less than one cent an acre, and
other coucties could be mapped in
a similar manner at costs verying
from $2,000 to $3,000 for each coun
ty, depending upon its size.
The airplane also reduces the nec
essary ground surveying by about
one-half, Baldwin adds.
Can Reach Difficult Spots
Dr. A. G. McCall, chief of soil In
vestigation of the bureau of chemis
try and soils, in a recent experi
mental flight over the Everglades
of Florida, realized the advantages
of the airplane for observation and
mapping of soils not easily accessi
ble to ground soil-surveying instru
ments.
In the cotton belt of the south,
the boll weevil, which takes an an
nual cottcn toll of $200,000,000, Is
subject to air tracks. The cotton,
flea hopper, also destructive to ou»
cotton cloth in the making, is r*
ceiving dosages of sulphur from th,
airplane. In the Middle West, wher,
wheat rust takes a heavy toll o.
our potential bread supply, th»
spores or minute organisms ra
sponsible for the damage are bein*
caught in airplane-traps. And a.

is being sprayed from seaplane?
over mosquito-infested swamps.
Now. with soil and crop surveys
from the air. the airplane Is assum
ing formidable proportions as ah
ally of plant protection and propa
gation, these surveys indirectly
serving to foster plant growth by
indicating soils best adapted to cer
tain crops.
POCKETBOOK APPEAL.
The bridge that spans the River
Sioux,
Out at North Riverside.
Is plenty long and plenty strong.
And also plenty wide;
It's smooth and lair, a pleasant
way,
All save its wet approach,
But that has bumps my Flivver
jumps.
To groan in pained reproach.
And further on, beneath the tracks
Of the Milwaukee road,
Full other lumps and further
thumps.
As dragons’ teeth are sowed;
And right across the pavement
there
They in the shadow lurk.
To rouse my ire, bust Lizzzie's tire,
And give my spine a jerk.
These defects are not new at all,
But have been there for years.
To make expense beyond all sense
And break up auto gears.
Though I would live a long time
yet,
Till many years have passed,
As my abode lies o’er this road,
I can’t much longer last.
That doesn't make much differ
ence,
Except, of course, to me;
But ere I go, up? or below?
I hope someone will see,
That loads of stock must come this
road,
To o’er it bump and toss.
And every head that it knocks dead
Is quite a vital loss.

The Issue In China.
From New York World.
The present civil war in China is
a step in the task of dealing with
an issue which every other large
Canada and Power.
From Pierre Capital-Journal.
A great deal is heard about the
law enforcement in Canada and
about public rights, but the great
est interest that Canadian people
are taking is in the matter of pub
lic service and control of public
utilities. Hydro-electric has been
furnishing Canada with electric,
power at about one third what the
American people pay. Over there it
is public ownership controlling; here
in the United States it is city ser
vice and the unlimited subsidiaries.
The people of Canada propose to
have all the benefit possible for the
individual. The majority over there
favor privileges to the masses, In
country has faced: That of the di
vision of power and authority be
tween the central government and
the various local areas. The United
States had this problem from the
very beginning, and in spite of a
four-year civil war it still is not
settled Americans talk of “states'
rights.” The Chinese talk of provin
cial autonomy.”
The old empire nominally was
under the direct and complete con
trol of the emperor. Practically,
however, the governors of the
provinces, or the Viceroys who ruled
over two;or three provinces, were
virtually supreme in their own ter
ritory. The vast size of the country
and the lack of quick and easy com
munications made this inevitable.
When the republic was started a
constitution was adopted which gave
the president considerable independ
ent power. The first real president,
Yuan Shih-kai, being a strong man,
started to concentrate all the pow
er he could in his own hands. When
he died, and a series of lesser men
filled the presidency, the authority
of the central government gradu
ally faded away until it almost
ceased to exist even nominally.
When the nationalists adopted
the constitution of the present gov
ernment, in October, 1928, they side
stepped this question of centraliza
tion by setting a committee at the
head of the government, but with
out defining whether the chairman
of that committee or the committee
itself should be the real authority.
Chiang Kai-shek, who also is an
aggressively vigorous man, as chair
man of the state council since its
formation, has sought to make ot
that chairmanship substantially a
personal dictatorship. Other promi
nent leaders in China have opposed
this tendency. Personal ambition
stead of profit to the classes. An
Ontario dispatch says:
“Hydro, Ontario's publicly-owned
power system, continues to buy up
private plants. Last week it absorbed
the Dominion Power company at a
cost of $21,000,000 and thus cleaned
up the Niagara district.
“This week it took over the Foshay
Interests in Bruce county, paying
$252,000.
The extent to which this province
is going into the pc<ver business is
shown by the fact that the legisla
ture which just adjourned appro
priated nearly $49,000,000 to extend
hydro. This represented about 41
per cent of the total appropriations.”
It will be seen that 41 per cent of
and honest political conviction hav
figured on both sides.
The present clash, essentially. 1
the result of the accumulating dis
satisfaction with Chiang’s central,
izing efforts. The attack is on hin
personally, rather than on the Nan
king government as such.
Success by the “rebels,'' there
fore, would not necessarily mean tlv
overthrow of the Nationalist gov
ernment, nor any significant changr
in the attitude of Chinese authoritj
toward the foreign powers—althcugf
it probably would mean the mor»
open recognition of the division of
China, for domestic administration
into several regional area., Succen
by Chiang also would not materii
ally affect China's International re
lations, though it would mean the
continuance of the program of do
mestic centralization.

The other day I saw a thing
That greatly tickled me.
The more so that it was a sight
I'd never hoped to sec.
Where Seventh street and Wat«

In our Sioux City town,
Was gathered there a crew to tea*
A filling station down.
I’ve seen a thousand, more or lesa

But that I'd live to see one fail
Was more than I'd expected.
Now I should care if I go blind!
Mine eyes have had Iheir fling:
Between short skirts and this glad
sight.
They've seen most everything.

Corn Borer
The corn borer Is one of ihe most
serious pests of Hie farm. It enters
the cornstalk at Hie ground and op
erates through the length of the
stalk and ultimately the corn is de
strayed. A. ItunselI Murston, ento
mologist. nt the Michigan State col
lege corn borer experiment station,
lias developed a strain of corn which
the borer refuses to attack. Why.
Marston cannot tell. There is some
thing In It the borer does not like;
lie knows the grain Intuitively, and
lets It alone. The resistant strain
that has been developed Is a cross
between the maize ahargo, a South
American strain the borer will not
attack, and a commercially protlue
five North American strain.
