We hope' you will find them in teresting as .well as informa tive. We have, discussed water the liie-blOQd of the land; now let's, talk %bout the landltstelt ? soil. As water lias shaped our living customs and played its part in' shaping the earth's sur face. so has the history of man kind been written' In the soil*. Soil exists wherever the sur face 1s "hot composed of rocks or covered with wat^r. Soil varies In appearance, compo sition, and fertility -according , to -the particles Kagalqi -it Scientists estimate it takes from 500 to 1,000. years t'o | form one inch of soil. ' A fertile soil contains living 'or ganisms, plant arid anlrhal", U -has pore space, which contains water and air; 'to* some degree like our bodies, it absorbs oxy gen and , .releases carbon di oxide. Its productivity depends on all of" its parts. Agriculture as an industry has existed "almost from the begin-, ning of time. It has already been mentioned how our first settlers took much from our land of today. In 1890 the era of good free or cheap land drew to a close, and the fact that what we had, had to be used over and ov^r again be came a realization. Much of our land had already suffered from its_two largest enemies, exhaustion and erosion. Worn out land, previously de serted, Jiad. to be reclaimed. The practice of crop rotation began, an act that the ancient Egyptian had practiced. Anoth er act to keep out Jand from exhaustion is recommended in the. Bible. "Six years thou shalt sow thy fields, and six yearsjhou shalt prune thy vlne yard> and gather in the fruit thereof, -but in the seventh year shall be a Sabbath oi rest unto the land." To a certain extent crop rotation has helped, con serve the land, but our most de structive force Is- erosion. About 400 years ago the 'av erage depth Of rich top soli was1 one foot. Now the average depth is about 5 inches. When the protecting cover of grass and trees is stripped away, the land Is laid bare to the action of rain and wind. Erosion .be comes a relatively swift, de 1 structive force, tearing away at ! the soil and disturbing the bal ance of natural forces. Flow 1 ing rainwater spreads out over | an unprotected slOpe, removing soli more or less evenly from the land surface/ This Is called sheet erosion. A gully results rlf the flow of water becomes concentrated in a certain course. Soil blowing or wind erosion takes place* on either level or sloping land whe*e ther'e Is a combined lack of moisture In the soli and a thin protective cover. In addition to this direct de struction, erosion 4ften caus es the deposit of huge quanti ties of silt at the mouth of riv ers, clogging stream channels and menacing fish and game supplies. ,. Losses of plant food due to erosion are much greater than those resulting from all other causes combined. In a normal year erosion removes from the land 21 times as much plant food as crops do. Let us again refer to the Bible "Moreover the profit of the earth Is for all; the king himself ls*served*by the field." All our food, clothing and shel-i ter come from the soil; to pro duce milk, Ihe cow eats grain and grass; our sugar comes from trees, beets and' cane, Tiavorlng comes from plants or trees, clothes are made from cotton? wool and other fibers. Homes and buildings are made of brick, cement blocks, lum ber or logs. These are all products of the soil. Most people realize that im proving the soil has Its direct effect on plant life. They also understand that high soil fer tility means" more of such ani mal products a^beef, milk and eggs. Protect and build up the soil and you enrich all of the life that #grows upon It. In terms of centuries this means the difference between garden and Policeman Rewarded Toronto- -When Miss Mary Clara Tucker, retire school teacher, became 111 whlleshop plng, Policeman , Joseph Hol brook, took her home In his cruiser.
