“■ v COMPLETE COUNTY COVERAGE WITH AUDITED CIRCULATION. THURSDAY THE COURIER ■■ — JANUARY 31, 1935. Soil Erosion Plan Is Widely Discussed At Raleigh Meet Dr. J. H. Stallings, Regional Director, Presents Topic To Engineers. Engineers Meet Three Projects In This State Comprise Total Area Of 250,000 Acres. High Point, Jan. 28.—In speaking before the North Carolina division of the American Society of Civil En gineers in convention in Raleigh on Saturday, Jan. 26th, Dr. J. H. Stall ings, regional director of the Soil Erosion Service in High Point, de clared that the greatest problem fac ing the American people today is to control the erosion of the soil. “North Carolina farmers,” Dr. Stallings continued, “lose sixty-three million dollars annually from erosion. That does not include the cost of the stupendous damage that rain wash does to highways and railways, in silting of city water-supply re ' secvoirs and ir. the clogging of stream channels.” “Eleven out of thirteen power reservoirs built along upper Deep Itiver in Piedmont North Carolina have been filled to capacity with pro ducts of erosion in the last forty to fifty years. One of those reservoirs was filled in thirty-one years. When the Reclamation engineers built the Elephant Butte reservoir in New Mexico, at a cost of $10,000,000, they said it would have a life of 23o years. They were in slight error, for as recent measurements have J shown, that reservoir will, within : sixty years from today, be packed I so full of alluvial soil brought to it, by erosion that it will not hold . enough water to supply its custo ! mers for one year.” The problem facing the engineer,; the soil specialist, the agronomist, j the forester and all others connected j with the conservation and develop- i ment of our natural resources is cen tered in the control of erosion.

(Continued from page 1) mated the money that passed through Hauptmann’s bank and brokerage ac counts, and that Hauptmann and the late Isadore Fiach were partners, Hauptmann trading for both in tire stock market and Fisch handling furt. That Amandus Hochmuth, 87-year old Prussian veteran, who said the saw Hauptmann in a “dirty green ’ car near the Lindbergh home on the day of the kidnapping, is unreliable, and that Millard Whited, another identifying witness, has not a good reputation for truthfulness. That the defense would produce “a man who has been used by the State continuously as a witness in this case” to show that at 6 p. m., March 1, 1932, the kidnapper was seen about a mile from the Lindbergh house, going in that direction, with a ladder. That Hauptmann was never in the Bronx railroad station where Miss Hildegard 0. Alexander said she saw him shadowing Dr. John F. Condon. High Point College Selected To Stage State Essay Contest High Point College has been se lected as the place for the prelimi nary run-off, for high schools of Guiiford, Randolph, and Davidson counties, in the state-wide oration essay contest to be staged by High Point College in March.

It is therefore vital, Dr. Stallings pointed out, that we pro ject the soil. The more fertile the soil, the richer the nation; for as ihe soil goes, so goes the nation. Dr. Stallings extolled the property and hunger of millions in this coun ;ry that have, resulted directly from the failure of the soil to produce a sufficient supply for sustenance—a failure that is attributable to the fact that erosion has destroyed the fertility of the soil. The Soil Erosion Service, which was created a year ago as a branch of the Interior Department, has es tablished experimental and demon strational erosion-control and land use projects throughout the United States. The three projects in North Carolina comprise a total area of 250,000 acres. One of the projects s located in the Deep River water jhed at High Point, another is on Reedy fork near Greensboro, while he third is on Brown creek in An ion county. Besides the erosion-con ;rol projects, the Soil Erosion Ser vice operates an erosion experiment itation near Statesville.

Flint, Mich., Jan. 28— Production schedules of the Buick Motor Com pany have been boosted twice during January and the program for Febru ary is considerably above that orlgi inally planned, Harlow H.

The first j increase was put into effect two ' weeks agfo* All divisions of the company now are operating five days a week with some plants, including the gear and axle, differential and transmission j factories, on multiple shifts. In the axle and differential plants three shifts are working daily. “Shipments are being made to fill , orders from the field, necessary to j maintain adequate stocks in the , hands of dealers,” he said. “The , bank of unfilled orders on hand at | the factory has shown a constant in- ] crease once November, requiring ( steadily increased production ache- j dules to meet the dealer’s require- . ments. -The company will end Janu ary with the largest bank of unfilled , orders on hand since the 1935 cars 0 were introduced, making necessary the substantial increase in the Feb ruary manufacturing program.” Records of the sales department, ' indicating *$he increased demand for jl i Buick car* reveal that unfilled or ders had increased each month since November 1, and now are sufficient to keep the factories operating at the current high rate through the first quarter.
