Terrace In Fall To Prevent Erosion Raleigh. N. C.?A good practice IS to terrace farm land in the fall as soon as possible after the previous crop has been harvested. k "At such a time, the weak places may be located and strengthened with only a small amount of time and labor." says A. T. Holman. agri cultural engineer at State College. "A 1 good plowing-of the old terrades In the fail will insure the proper con trol of erosion, during the winter and at the same time, will give the soil a chance to settle. . The terraces will thus become firm before the next crop is planted." Mr. HofTman states that new ter races built in the fall become firm and strong enough to withstand most o I the heavy summer rains. Then, too. the owner has a chance to ob-. serve how his terraces work during the winter and to check their effi ciency in controlling erosion. Each year, all over North Carolina, thousands upon thousands of acres ofc?ood soil are ruined on account of ?u& terraces or poorlv constructed ones. The loss can be preventeed ?ufte easily and those landowners who have land with a tendency to erode, should consider terrace build ing as soon as possible state Mr. Hol man. y! He states that maintaining soil fer tility is now one of the most serious problems before the North Carolina farmer. In many parts of the stat j soils are kept poor by' erosion. Fre qquentlv whole fields, once valuable, are ruined, when they might have ?been sav?d by a few terrace lines. ? Mr ? Holman -says that his office will be glad to assist any farmer or , croup of framers to Team how to build the proper terraces and-siig | .gests that those who need this kind . oi aid thetr county larm" accnf Ver wi it?>. tjo the- Division of Agrlcul . tural E-ncirie^rmsJ at State College. Thr xlaily food allowance of en li t'd nun iii the United States Army :s >0 M il's: Dr. Frank Crane Says INVESTMENTS It Is often as hard to keep monev as It Ls t<j get it in the Ant place. The best rule for an investor is to consult those responsible people who make a business of studying the mat ter. Go to your bank or to some es tablished bond house and follow their advice. Don't listen to interested friends. Beware of your capital Just for the sake of one or two percent interest. Americans are said to sink one bil lion dollars a year in bond invest-. ments. This 15 simply because they act on the advice of {riends instead of financial specialists. In the words of a recent magazine. "Americans who pride themselves on being the most thoroughly money wise people on earth, are annually putting a round billion dollars into dubious financial schemes, practically all of which is lost eventually." We know how to make money, and probably are the best money makers in the world, but we didn't know how to invest it and. take care of; it. Men are about as bad as women; in fact, anything women are the shrewder of the two. Don't go to yOur grocer or to a successful business friend, but to a financial expert for your advice. This is but common sense. You wouffln't go to your minister for medietas if you were sick. You wouldn't go to your doctor to talk about your soul, t And when you want to talk about your money go to an expert. The Investment business is constant ly crowing more complex. It is pos sible for any person of the ordinary type to make intelligent selections him self. Any modern bank will supply you with ari Investment expert', sha It 15 a good plan to listen to his advice, He may not offer you securities bringine gre'at returns, but his counsel will be safe. Even the wisest managers of their own business dare not trust tneu judgment In the matter ot Invest ments. There are so many securities on the market, some of them extreme ly hazardous and by badly managed concerns, that only one familiar with Investments can weed these out and tell you what is sale.
