C., Thursday, Sept. 28,1944 No. 4 HYDE WAR DEAD TOLL RISES One more name has been added to the list of men from Hyde County killed in this war. He is James Carawan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Carawan of the Juniper Bay section. He was killed serving with the Army in France. Details were not available to this newspaper at press time. The toll of war dead from Hyde rises. It will only be a miracle if many more are not added to the list before the end. War is grim business and it does not respect persons. It is something that mankind so far has been unable to escape, despite the prayers of millions that it could. The reports of death that pour into thousands of American homes each day should make the people cry out for their government to use a firm hand to see that the aggressors do not arise to begin another war, and to deal with those cartels in our own country who profit by international conflict and thereby might be instrumental in dragging the world into war. It seems, too, that each citizen could do his part by living a better life, devoted to work and fair dealings. America must be a land of people of strong character and good livers if it is to fulfill a place as a leader in world affairs. OUR DEMOCRACY- by Mat XHccrjj ivint^ Aocvlcl! .3^eap (jcrPden coti'i!

CLEVELAND, OHIO—“Better be outside than in,” comments Bea Gay as she peers into a “cold-box” which reduces temperature to 66 degrees jjelow zero and which makes various types of scientific test ing possible. Miss Gay^ and hundreds of employees visited these labo ratories for the first time since the start of the war. The pumps or accessories of Pesco Products Co., Borg-Wamer division here, equip nearly every American military plane and therefore the operations of the “cold-box” have been kept secret. These experiments will rertect their value also in the quality of peacetime products when the war is snded. GOING TO ST. MARY’S Miss Noel Gibbs, daughter of Mrs. S. M.

Two practices for which assistance is avail able in most States, under the conser vation program administered by the Agricultural Adjustment Agency, are construction and maintenance of di version terraces and drainage ditches. : Ditches and tile drains, the latter for underground drainage as opposed to the surface ditch type, are among the simplest and most satisfactory means of increasing crop yields on flat farm land, according to WFA. Actual cost of planting and cultivating is usually lowered, while crop returns are materially increased. Often the most fertile acres on a farm may be feclaimed and worked intensively by draining bottom land and other wet spots. This permits the use of steeper lands for pasture or hay. On many farms, says WFA, drainage is necessary before other conservation practices can be employed. Diversion terraces are particularly useful on farms where a complete ter racing system is not practical, engineers have found. When the cropland lies below a layge drainage area, and on longer slopes where water is found in greater quantities, these terraces pre vent water from running down over the cultivated land. This is usually stripKjropped on the contour, and if the slope is long, additional diversion terraces are placed between the culti vated strips. The land immediately above the ter race must then be placed in permanent sod, which catches and holds any silt that might be washed from a cultivated strip into terrace channels, A width of not less than 40 feet is recommended by agronomists and engineers for this grass cover. ^hen slopes of between 15 and 25 percent are in cultivation, grade ditches are employed. They differ from the terrace in having a definite water channel from which the earth is removed and piled up to form a narrow ridge. This ridge is planted with a buffer strip of close-growing cover to prevent wasliing. Drainage terraces and ditches, and their outlets, should he kept clear of weeds, trash, and sediment, it is pointed out, to allow the free move ment of the run-off water. l' ■' f 4L s:!!H : M / Just Like Money in the Bank 3,000 Interested readers makes regular advertising in the Hyde County Herald pay well.
