Meisinger speeds the gvowth of young, vigorous trees by the removal of old mature and over mature trees. He is also making an under-planting of walnut on an 80-acre woodlot along the creek bottom. The farm woodland improve ment program was part of Mei singer's complete soil conserva tion plan developed for his farm with the help of the Cass county soil conservation district. When completed the soil program will cover both Meisinger's farms, which include one and a half sections. Read The Journal For News. Not Oddities But Facts On Conservation DO YOU KNOW THAT One-third of the cultivated land in the United States is so badly eroded that it must be retired from cultivation. 27.7 per cent of the farm land in Nebraska has from U to over 34 of the topsoil removed from sheet erosion. That in Nebraska over 7 million acres are so severely gullied that they are practically useless. Erosion hits the best land first by dumping the topsoil of adja- Plattsmouth Eagles downed the Holy Ghost Church nine here by a score of 7 to G before a crowd that packed the Athletic Field. One of the closest of the season, it proved a ball game un til the final out. Eagles had eight .men loft on bases, with Holy Ghost finding six men stranded. Fox struck out six, while Langeman whiffed four for Holy Ghost. Jack O'Don poll got two hits out of two trips, with Wolever next with three out of five attempts. Hobbs Pes tello ond Ault got two hits each out of five trips. Fox, Vroman and Parriot each got one. Wol ever rlouted one for three bases and Vroman came through with one hit, good for two. ! Stewart, going into the pame in the sixth, made a sensational ; running catch, with Hobbs tak ing another one-hander that en abled Ault to blast in the win ning run. in the ninth.

That over 1 million ares in Nebraska have been totally de stroyed by gullying. The Sahpra desert was once fertile cropland that was p?rma nently ruined by improper farm ing practices. The ruins of Babylon and the Valley of Ti?res and Eunhrqtes river, the cradle of mankind was once a luxuriant fertile val ley is now buried under 40 to 100 feet of material eroded from th neighboring hills when man tried to cultivate slonos and removed the vegetative cover. Conservation of the soil is so intertwined with conservation ef human resources that the pro gram is worthy of sunport from a standpoint of human wclf?'. Every year in the United States millions of dollars are soent to dredge rivers and streams and is paid for by taxpayers. Proper land use would all but eliminate this expenditure. Farmers who consistently defy the law? of na ture are victims of their own folly. Three billion tons of topsoil are washed out of the croplands of the United States every year. This would fill a string of box cars 18 times around the world at the eouator. 282 million acres of land in the United States have been ruined and to be of no immediate prac tical value. 38(5 million acres of cropland will be needed in 1960. Nature builds soil back very slowly, sometimes taking genera tions, sometimes centuries to re place a single inch of tonsoil. Erosion in terms of highway maintenance amounts to about 180 million dollars annually. Cost to the United States of erosion a year is about 840 mil- i lion. (Does not cover whole field j of damape. Doesn't consider dam- ' age to wildlife and fish resource, j nor potential plant food lost). I The soil carrying power of wa- i ter is increased 01 times bv ! doubling the speed of runoff.
