$200,000,000 STOLEN FROM
FARMERS YEARLY BY RAIN
Rushing rainwater sweeping over
the fields of the United States car
ries away 20 times a much plant
food material every year as is per
amently removed by the farmers'
corps, says II. H. Bennett, soil
scientist of the United States de
partment of agriculture. Soil ero
sion takes $200,000,000 out of the
pockets of the farmers every year,
he estimates. Yet most of the at
tention given to soil conservation is
in connection with the eoinparn
tively insignificant loan of plant
food elements due to cropping; the
much greater loss caused by ero
sion is almost completely over
looked.
"Soil erosion,” says Mr. Bennett,
"is the most important problem con
fronting the conservation of our
natural resources. When, for in
stance, our petroleum products are
used up, fuel can be produced from
the soil in the form of alcohol from
potatoes, sugar cane and othe'r
crops; that is, if the soil is not
wasted too.”
