The rider to the farm lease seeks to provide that formula. The Mills county commission ers solicited the help of Iowa State college. I. W. Arthur of the college helped them work out a solution to the problem. They don"t claim it is foolproof, but they regard it at least a step in the right direction of a landlord tenant conservation formula that can be epplied universally. Probably the value of the lease rider will come through the fact that before landlords and tenant can agree to such a lease they will sit down together and work out a conservation program for the farm. They will agree on such things as establishments of terraces, on contouring, or re-establishment of fences, on seeding of grass, on use of lime and commercial fer tilizer, on the amount of green manure to be plowed under. Then they will agree on what is to be the contribution of each to their comprehensive program. And they will agree on the amount of compensation to the tenant for use of unexhausted value of work or money he has .put into his share if and when the tenancy is terminated. If it works out on soil conser vation it could be the means of improving other aspects of landlord-tenant relationship. not be over emphasized. Take a look at those which you prepared last fall or this spring and see if a trickle channel has developed. The high intensity rains of last fall and this spring have, in some cases, caused some cutting in the bottom of the waterways. The best time to check this cutting is when it first develops, and it can best be stopped by placing nu merous pieces of brome grass sod in the cut. If it is allowed to get larger, then it will probably be necessary to fill the cut with small dams on which brome grass sod is placed. For cuts deeper than approximately two feet, it is best to plow, pack, and reseed the waterway. Fall is usually the best time to prepare and seed waterways. Establishing water ways requires some luck, but if one keeps trying each fall and spring, sooner or later they will become established. In Iowa it is reported that there is a direct relation be- 1 tween depth of top soil and the vield and stand of corn. In 194S I thf vild was 25.9 bushels Der acre in soil with little or no lop soil in the plowed layer and 80.8 bushels where only good black top soil was found in the plowed layer. Did you know that it takes 22.6 acre inches of water to produce 2z tons of alfalfa per acre? Some Things Can't Be Hurried j ber of Commerce members found MUNCIE, Ind.

Grass waterways do not take the place of soil treatment and ero sion control measures on adjoin ing slopes, even though surplus water can be carried off without gullies being formed. Silt in the waterway suggests that adjacent hillsides are eroding. Grass wa terways are not hard to build but it does take perseverance to get them well established. A sin gle seeding seldom takes hold well enough to withstand the wear and tear of running water or unfavorable weather. When one seeding fails, another should be made at the first opportunity.

Kg-- Wendell Heising Will End Soil Problems WAHOO Wendell Heising of Wahoo, stated that in spite of all the recent rain this is the first yeerr he hasn't had mud flow on his blutgrass lawn from an adia- cen sloping field. He accomDlish- tion is becoming a part of farm fd thig by contouring the adjoin , leases in some sections of Iowa this year. Attached to the standard lease agreement is a rider which out lines responsibilities of landlord and tenant concerning soil con servation. Impetus for this change came from the commissioners of the Mills County Soil Conservation district. J. F. Wearlin of Hast ings is chairman. Other members are J. M. Steele of Malvern and D. N.

These men recognized that adoption of soil conserving prac tices proceeds more slowly on tenanted-operated farms, for ob vious reasons. Insecurity of tenure reduces a tenant's aggressiveness in doing soil conservation work. He doesn't have a compelling motive to spend time and money preserv ing or improving a farm if he isn't sure that he can stay on to Tcan some of the benefits. All of the blame and possibly not even the larger part of it can be laid to the tenant. Not all landlords are interested in the long-time productive value of their farms.
