PAGE 6 THIS WEEK In Washington THIS WEK IN WASHINGTON .. WASHINGTON, March 10.-Summing up the results of President Roosevelt's first year in office, the general feeling here is that i: has been about an even break between the Administration and the Depression. If the Government hasn't succeeded in licking Hard Times, neither has that Big Bad Wolf got the Administration licked. And that, these observers point out, is all to the good, because the un derlying cause for the depression, at home and abroad, have pretty nearly ceased to function, while the Government still has plenty of weapons left in its arsenal. There are a lot more experiments that can be tried. One of the most important o: these, in the view of many, is thai of giving the President power to alter the tariff schedules at will This appeals not only to those who favor tariff reduction but to those who believe that it is a sign that the Administration has come around I definitely to the realization that I the Depression is not a local affair! but world-wide, and that it has its I roots in international conditions. Wallace, Clear Thinker There has been a good deal of I uneasiness over what seemed like j moves toward a policy of narrow! nationalism in the United States, I just at a time when several of the I other nations of the world were be-1 ginning to abandon their nation-1 alistic policies. Some of the most I vocal of the President's advisers! have been outspoken in their adv> I cacy of building a wall around the! United States and proceeding to try I to straighten our affairs out as !f | there were no other people in the! world but us. It is regarded here as a victory I for the sane and well-considered I analysis of our situation by Henry I Wallace. Secretary of Agriculture, I whose reputation of having the clearest, most logical and best informed mind in the whole Administration group is growing. In his widely-circulated article, "America Must Choose," Mr. Wallace pointed out that Nationalism, pursued to its logical conclusion, could lead only to either Fascism or Communism. He did not think America was ready for either. Internationalism, he agreed, has its dangers, as has any other policy. If America were to continue in its international relations on the principle that other nations must buy our goods but we would not buv any of theirs then we would be laying up plenty trouble for ourselves and destroying all the foreign markets, on which so much of our income from natural products, farm products and factory products depends. Wallace's conclusion is that the Nation should follow a middle-ofthe-road policy, neither wholly Nationalistic nor wholly Internationalistic. And that, his admirers say, is what Mr. Roosevelt has in mind in asking Congress for authority to elevate or reduce tariff schedules by Executive order without having.to submit them to revision by Congress nor wait upon the slow "studies" by the Tariff Board necessary under the existing law. The Roosevelt Courage Mr. Roosevelt's friends call this the greatest display of courage he has given yet. For there is no political topic which carries so much dynamite in itself as the tariff. More than one Administration has been wrecked on the tariff rocks. One promising candidate for the Presidency, General Winfield Scott Hancock, who ran on the Democratic ticket against General Garfield in 1880, probably would have been elected had he not incurred the hostility of Eastern manufacturers by his perfectly truthful but politically tactless statement that "the tariff is a local issue." It is just because the tariff is a local issue that it is so dangerous. It can stir up more sectional animosity than anything else in politics. There is nothing for which the average Congressman will fight so bitterly as for tariff protection for the industries of his home district, for not only votes but campaign funds depend upon his record in that respect more than in any other particular. There is a pretty general agreement among Republicans as well as Democrats that the tariff increases provided in the two tariff laws enacted by the Republicans in 1921 and 1930, ran the import duties on most of the list up to unworkable peaks, and by inciting other nations to set up defense against American agression in their markets, while shutting them off from our markets, had a great deal to do with prolonging the situation precipitated by the crisis of 1929. Tariff to the Front Now Mr. Roosevelt has bravely brought the tariff right up to the front of politics again. By all the (Continued on Page 8) \. \ Warrenton, North Car Vocational Students D Of Terraces In Cor Gives Economics By GROVER SHEARIN Agricultural Student, Littleton High School, Eleventh Grade The question of soil erosion is asked often by many farmers. This suestion can be answered in a very few words, meaning the washing away of the earth by water. We find more soil erosion in the hilly parts of North Carolina than we do in the flat lands of the Eastern part of the state. There are two types of soil ero- , sion. The first one is known as sheet ' erosion which covers a large area and takes off the best soil. There is more plant food near the top j than there is in the subsoil. The j other type is known as gully washing which covers a small area in \ the beginning but later forms a , large gully and if the water is flow- ! ing fast it will take up particles of i soil and carry them on and on. If this is not checked, we will have gullies in our fields so large that we cannot do much farming. A mule will not go near it because he is afraid he will fall into the ravine. Erosion is so slow starting that it will not be noticed for several years, but after it gets started it will ruin your land in a short period of time, and it will be harder to build it back up. About eighty-five per cent of erosion occurs during the months of June, July, August and September. You can see how dangerous this is to land in these months. According to Mr. Hugh Bennett, Director of Soil Erosion Services, United States Department of Interior, we have lost yearly more than four hundred million dollars. At least thirty-five million acres of America's good cultivated lands have been destroyed by the washing away of the soil. It is so gullied, 1 so deeply washed, that the average farmer cannot afford to undertake y its reclamation. Mr. Bennett says that more than 1 three billion tons of soil has been v washed out of our fields and carried c into oceans and valleys.

Now we have practi- j cally nothing but the subsoil. We cannot make a living on this unless we build it up in some way. How are ,fJ 1 o en nrn we going to Duna up um ouuo ^ can make a living is another question that is asked. There are several ways to prevent soil erosion and build up our land. The first way is to get the soil in a good physical condition. We can get J aur land in this condition by plant- ' ing legumes or cover crops that can ' be turned under for green manure. Plant some grasses or clovers to keep the land occupied at all time so when it rains it will soak in as fast as possible to keep it from washing. Saving the soil should be prac ' ticed. If there are gullies washed sut in your fields ypu should take , rocks, logs, brush etc., and pile them , in the mouth of the gully. When the water brings the particles of soil on , ts way to the bottoms, t will stop when it reaches the brush. Tt will sack up into the gully until it is I filled. This will be on the order of i strainer because it does not let ;he dirt pass through. Strip cropping is another good nethod to prevent erosion. You can jse legumes such as Lespedena, alfalfa, and other clovers. You should slant your money crop first on top )f the hill, then have a small streak )f legumes. Then plant more money ;rops and then another streak of egumes. This legume crop will stop j he water from running so fast and' t will not carry the soil away into ( he oceans and vafleys. ( The natural control is another ; rery good method, because the ; ledge rows, shrubs and grasses also : relp hold the soil to keep it from ( vashing down into the bottoms and ] :overing your very best land so you : :annot cultivate It. I You can help control the water by :ontour plowing which means break- 1 ng the land along the level line 1 icross the slope. In planting the ' :rops the same line is followed so 1 hat each row will be its own sup- ! )ort. It catches and holds the water i mtil it absorbs and sinks into the ; iround.

G. \ Notary Public. >pt. 5, 1934. THE WARREN RECC all hillside lands. This keeps gullies from washing in your fields. Terracing is the most efective method of preventing erosion and this is better when all of the other precautions are taken in connection with it. There are several types of terraces each suited to some special condition. The most important one in this section is the Mangum Terrace, which is made up of broad ridges of earth across the hillside. It has a fall to carry the surface water away into the woods or streams of water. The fall is very small at the beginning and constantly increases towards the outlet. You can cultivate Ann mndprate me enure i,ei ? slopes. The crop rows may be run at an angle across the terrace after the first year, thereby no land is taken up or consumed by our objectionable hill-side ditches. The other type of terrace is known as the level terrace. This terrace is built like the Mangum Terrace except that it has no fall to carry the water away. The rain that falls between the terraces is collected and held in the lower terrace. It stays there until it is taken up into the soil or finds its way slowly to an outlet at the end of the terrace. This terrace has one advantage over the Mangum and that is when the little particles of soil come down into the terrace with the water they will carry some of it away. The end of the terrace may be closed to prevent the escape of any of the surface water or may be left open to allow the water to pass away slowly. If the soil in a field is capable of absorbing all the rainfall so as to leave no water standing on the field long enough to injure the crop the ends should be closed; otherwise they are left open to let the water get off the field to keep from injuring the crop. The future development of uncultivated lands should be considered in selecting outlets.-Good outlets are pastures, timber lands, and streams. Other satisfactory ones are natural draws^ roadsides, artificial ditches at property lines. The outlets must slope away from the terraced field. Do not permit a gully to form at a terrace outlet. In locating terraces a telescope level may be used very successfully. Locate the top terrace first and stake the terrace line every running fifty feet. On rough land they should be staked each twenty-five running feet apart. You should have /our terrace spaced apart according to the slope of the field.

You should j ^not give a fall of more than six] i inches per hundred feet. The base of the terrace should be from eighteen to twenty feet wide on mod' erate slopes, ten to sixteen feet on 'steep slopes, and from fifteen to twenty inches higher than the water channel. The top terrace should be j completed first before starting on the second. The equipment needed to build a 1 terrace would be a one-two horse plow, team and driver and one home made V-shaped terracing i grader. The grader is reversible and works on the upper side of the terrace only. You should carry the' terrace across a gully and build the! dam high enough and wide enough J to keep the rain from breaking it J when it flows down the gully. The ( crop rows should be run parallel to ! the lower side of the terrace for the first year so the terrace will have time to 'settle. Afterwards crop rows may cross the terrace without damage. The terrace outlets will sometimes form a gully and j this can be checked by using a soil saving dam made of logs and brush. ?

The cost and value is another thing to consider because good ter races pay well and poor ones are j harmful. There are no definite figures t.vailable because the cost of building terraces varies. This will] depend on the condition of your field. If the field is very bad, the terrac ng will cost more. A starting point of the terrace shoulc first be fixed by measuring down the proper vertical distance from the top of the hill. If the top terrao i is not built right, you have made a big mistake because there will bt too much water for the other terrac j to hold and it will break over. Then all the others will break also. This will cause more damage than it was worth, but if it is built right you will not have all your ands washed away into the oceans and valleys. If the upper part ot the field belongs to a neighbor you should try to get him to build bis terraces before you begin | yours. If he will not, it is your | duty '.o dig a hillside ditch or an embarkment to keep the water from lis field from washing across yours. A terrace should not carry water more than fifteen hundred feet in one d rection if it can be avoided. After the first terrace has been ! located from the middle of the j field cowards one outlet the next I step i 5 to locate the other half in exactl i the same manner. If you can't : ind an outlet at both ends of the terrace, it is necessary to carry all the water toward one outlet. You should get the slope of the land before starting the second terrace. The level terrace is much simpler to lay off than the Mangum because it has no fall. You do not have to measure the distance between the stakes. The smarting point should be located an 1 the rod reading will be the same for all points on the terrace as long as it is.
