Among Friends Of The Soil
(Editor's note: This Is No." *3
In a series to show you Soil Con-'
servation District technicn at;
work with local farmers and how
he can help you as a farmer.)
Last week Farmer A found his
field which he had thought of |
draining with tile had too tight
a subsoil to drain well that way. j
The technician suggested most of,
the water which made the spot in'
question wet ran down on it J
from up-slope and might be cut j
off before it go there. Farmer A1
wanted to know how he would j
go about that.
Technician .'In order to save
damage to this part of the field j
from water which drains down!
from above I would suggest two'
things: First. I would terrace the
field between here and the house.
Then I would lay the rows par
allel to the terrace. The terraces
can take all the water Into that
ditch on the other edge of the

field."
Farmer A. "I thought terraces
were intended to keep land from
washing. There are no washes in
that field."
Technician. "Tliere are no gul
lies, I'll agree, but certainly here
is a considerable loss from wash
ing. A little soil is lost every
time enough rain falls to run off
?and that is just a littie of your
very best soil."
(By this time they had reach
ed the more sloping part of the
field.)
"Look in these row middles.
Here ia a little channel cut in
places, and a little washed-off
soil caught in other places
against bunches of grass."
Farmer A. "Maybe a terrace
or two would help, but I don't
want crooked rows."
Technician. "You would like
the rows after they were run.
The curve would be gentle and
there is nothing wrong with rows
like that. We have here an ex
ample to show how one field af
fects another and how they are
treated may affect your entire
farm operation. We can't hope
to gain conservation by treating
just a field or two here and
there. The way the District works
is to treat a farm as a unit. Then

BEER?America's Beverage of Moderation
SUCCESSFUL
Because It Helps You!
Solid success has rewarded oar program to raise the standard of
beer retailing in our state?success, we feel, that stems largely from
the benefit it brings the North Carolina public.
Such a program aids law-enforcement agencies in controlling tha
few dealers who do not conform to the laws you have made. It serves
by safeguarding the millions in taxes contributed by the brewing
industry to our State treasury and to the counties and municipali
ties wherein beer is licensed to be sold. It reduces tha problems
of licensing and regulation.
A program good for you is good for us, too. And we gladly affirm that
the cooperation you are giving is our strongest support.

what is planned and done in one
place should end up with a bal
anced operation, all dovetailed to
gether. The only way I can help
you is to take it as it comes and
| help you decide what is needed
j in each place."
Farmer A. "What you have
j said so far makes sense, but
i suppose we might not be able to
agree on something, then what?
And how can I get these things
j done that you are suggesting? I
[certainly know nothing about lay
ling off or building a terrace."
j Technician. "Starting with your
first question; if we can't agree
then there's no harm done. We
I would just have to call it quits,
that's all. But I will say this. I
am not unreasonable. We might
both have to give and take a
little on minor points. As to your
second question; X will help you
I to do anything that requires tech
nical training. Either I will help
you personally or send someone
else to do it."
Parmer A. "Then let's go. We
will see how nearly we can
agree."
Technician. "Before I can real
ly help you on your whole farm
I will need the soils map, or in
ventory as I called it the other
day. The soils man promised to
map your farm the last of this
week. How would a week from [
next Friday suit you?"
Farmer A. "That would be all i
right. I will arrange to be at
home all day so you won't miss
me."
Technician. "I'll be here unless
it is raining about 8:30 in the j
morning. In the meantime, good!
day and godd luck."

Child Hampered
By Restrictions
Wylie Hold? That Modern
Life Denies Child's Natu
ral Rights To Act Im
pulsively
"Hie past 50 years of what w?
call civilization have ruined ur
ban childhood," declared Philip
Wylie in The Reader's Digest.
"The automobile, restricting child
ren to yard or block, has condi
tioned their very Impulse to chase
a ball. Parents, trying to barri
cade their children from perils
have fenced in schoolyards and
hired more cops at corners, more
counselors at camp. As soon as
he can crawl, the child is im
pounded In a playpen which frus
trates his every vital instinct."
In an article condensed from
The Atlantic Monthly, Wylie holds
that only through "a process of
adventure, experience and ex
ploit" can a child become an emo
tionally mature and self-reliant
adult. But fearful parents, instead
of aiding this process, inhibit its
development by over-protection.
Many parents, In the artificial
life of our urban centers, are
themselves lacking in basic ex
perience, Wylie contends. "They
join welfare and hygiene societies,
but have never seen a chicken
killed or a kitten born. TTiey cross
the Atlantic, but they eannot
swim. They have slept in hotels
in Cairo and Bombay, but never
in the woods. They drive to the
[top of Pike's Peak, but they have
never ahinnied a tree."
| Without such basic experience,
adults lack self-reliance, the au
thor maintains. Adult fears, rang
ing from an anxiety about cross
ling the street to panic over the
(possibility of another war, are
| projected upon children, in the
Ishape of parental tabus and re
strictions of the very activities
I essential to youngsters. Cited as
[an example is our "safe and sane"
Fourth of July, which destroyed
"the most emotionally potent na
tional fiesta America ever had . .
the day of greatest
dependence."
