Drought And Dust Damage Croplands Report Is Made By Secretary Benson WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. (INSI— Agriculture secretary Exra T. Benson reported today that drought and dust storms have damaged 30 percent of the crop land and 10 percent of the range land in six western states this spring. :J . 7. ( , r Benson, speaking before the Rational fertiliser association at White Sulphur Springs, said that as of April 1, there were 11 and

a half million acres of crop lai>s damaged in the southern Great Plains area and rangeland damage' totalled over five million acres. He also estimated that wind erosion is endangering ail additional eight million acres ofxropland and over six and a half million acres of glazing land. The cabinet member said that the damage from drought and dust storms is centered in southeastern Colorado, western Kansas, southwestern Nebraska, eastern New Mexico, western Oklahoma and western Texas. i Bensoiy declared that the recurrent periods of drought in the plain* area present "a particularly difficult challenge.” He said that what is needed is

f constant cover f oP the land and the retirement of some eight million . acres from cultivation with only i gruss being planted. Benson noted that tne agricul- • ture department’s soil conservaI lion service is conducting a new I wi.ierahed program i which may alleviate the program iu the future. : He asserted, however, that the t program should be expanded and i said: "The time has come when - the nation needs a thoroughly com- ’ plcte, coordinated program for the I wise use of water." 'l’he agriculture secretary de- ‘ Harin* that PreAle nt EisenhfAver ’ has taken a step in this direction ' by appointing a cabinet committee on waler resources which has been t ordered to devise and coordinate

a national policy on tile problem In conclusion. Benson commented: ‘’The goal of American agriculture as I see It can be summed up in three simple words: useful permanent abundance. That is the goal toward which we should always be moving—-abundance, use* ful abundance, permanent abundance/’ Dog und turkeys weye the’only domesticated in North America at the time Columbus discovered the New World, says the National Geographic Society. Most Indian dogs seem to have been of wolf, or coyote stock but explorers’ descriptions indicate others of different ancestry. These strange dogs became extinct at an early date. The, mystery of their origin is unsolved. J ■ •' ,
