NEGRO FARMER GETS BANKERS' AWARD Ups Output Through Soil Consf nation Because of the exce uLitt jL.ri.rr of soil and mater c< -nservati n carr ied cut on his own farm, through which he is increasing his wartime production. Eddie Marshall. X conservation farmer of Porter. Okla homa. has been given a certificate a ward by the Oklahoma Bankers As sociation. The importance of soil and water conservation mas emphasized la t week by Secretary uf Agricuirur; Claude R- Wickard in an address be fore the Rotary district conference. He pointed out that erost. n has dam aged 300 million acres, or two- fifths of all the cropland in the United States. Said he. "Each year erosion costs the United States in the neigh borhood of 5:1.844.000,000 in wasted soil, railroad and highway damages, flood damage, abandonment of farms reduced reservoir capacity and other losses.r Joining in to help conserve the Na tion's soil resources. Farmer Marsh all asked the U. S. Department of Agriculture' Soil Conservation Serv ice in 1936 to provide him with tech nicians to help him plan a soil - V water conservation program on his 160-acre upland farm. This was the beginning of his conservation farming After the plan was developed, youths from the Wagoner CCC camp helo him to build two farm ponds, set black locust trees on two acres, plan' Bermuda roots in pastures and ter race outlets. In 1938 when the Arkansas-Verdi gris Soil Conservation District ■ organized. Mr. Marshall was one •' the first applicants for a district • operative agreement. Although mo ,t of the conservation measures planned for his farm had been established, in wanted to have a cooperative agree ment with the district. Now 61 acres of cultivated land is protected by a system of terraces built by Farmer Marshall. All farm ing operations are on the contour. Crop- of cotton, com. cowpeas. soy beans, small grain, grain sorghum and Korean lespedoza are used in a cota tion. Lespedoza. cowpeas and soy beans are grown for soil improve ment. These practices have increased crop yields one third according to Mr. Marshall and are helping him to make a larger contribution to the war.

You have been told by the World-Herald about the increase in the legal and advertising expense of the Nebraska Power Company, which was caused by our opposition to the efforts being made to force our Com pany out of business. You have been told also that you, our customers, are paying these added costs. This is not true. The World-Herald's figures, as usual, are inaccura4e. For example, the advertising expense for 1942, used in the comparison, was given as SI30,000 less than the actual figure, thus making the 1943 advertising expense appear enormous by comparison. We have spent money — our money — in our fight to prevent the socialization of our property, and will con tinue to do so if the attack continues. Our Company has no other means of protecting itself against the mis leading and often false accusations that are being made in an attempt to destroy our well established business, and to force Omaha's electric service under political ownership and management. We say "our money" because these expenses are not coming out of the pockets of the electric user, but out of the money available for paying dividends to our stockholders. Anyone who knows anything about how electric rates are made would know that no regulatory body, such as the City Council, would include any expense in establishing your rates unless in their judg ment that expense were fairly a part of the cost of service. We feel that these expenses which have been forced on us were absolutely necessary, and that our friends and customers would lose respect for us if we sat idly by and failed to fight those who desire to destroy our business and the livelihood of our several hundred employees who do not want to become political job holders.
