Soil Erosion Great .Enemy Of Farmers In Piedmont Section Not Only. Costs The Fanner Mach Money, But The Loss Passes To All Classes. Abandoned and gullied fields in the 50-mile trade area adjacent to Char lotte contain acreage equivalent to the cultivated area of the average county in North Carolina and loss of fertility due to erosion has caused the abandonment, Dr. R. Y. Winters, director of the North Carolina ex periment station, says. The area from which the good top soil has been removed in Piedmont North Carolina is even greater and such lands are operated at a loss even in times of medium prices for farm products, Winters continued. Not only has erosion ruined the land for farming, but the removed soil has reached stream beds w^ere it obstructs drainage and adds to flood hazards and in some cases fills up reservoir*, he continued. Xtfuch of the 'gullied land' not be reclaimed for crop production and it will cost $25 to $50 an acre to re claim the lees eroded soil, Winters said. ‘Damage to farm lands from eros ion falls heaviest on the farmers who own the land at first,” the director said, “but in time the loss passes on to all classes of eitizens in the Pied mont area. Therefore, the control of erosion is a problem in which all cit izens should be interested.” Gullies may be reclaimed by build ing simple dams and plant ngs to pro tect adjacent fields, he advised. Con siderable of the area might be put into forest trees. Increased averages of lespedeza and other soil-saving crops would have a good effect on latter eroded fields. Continual plantings of corn, cotton and" tobacco .will continue erosion, whereas If good rotations are follow ed with hay and forage crops used, land will be improved and erosion checked, Winters said. Republican Strength In New Congress Is At Its Lowest Ebb Democrats Will Have 59 Seats In Senate To 36, And A Huge House Majority. According to a tabulation by the Associated Press, Republican strength in the new Congress, which takes of fice on March 4, will be at the lowest ebb since the Civil War. In the Senate the Democrats will have 59 seats and the Republicans will cling to 86. There will be one Farmer-Labor. Included among the 36 Republicans are Senators Norris, Cutting, Johnson and LaFollette, who openly supported Roosevelt in the election and several other Pro gressive Republican Senators who did not support President Hoover. Only one-third of the Senate was elected this time or else the Republi can disaster would have been much worse. The Roosevelt landslide that start ed up in Maine in September with the election of a Democratic govern or rolled across the state capitals of the country and when the wreckage was cleared away it was found that only nine states will have Republican governors after the first of the year. There will be one Farmer-Labor and th'rty-eigbt Democrats. A few states didn’t dec* governors this time, among these being California, which has a Republican governor. In the lower House the Republican strength was riddled until that party will not have many more than 100 IWow This Example Mrs. An Stout, For* Resident Of ■mseur.
