SOIL EROSION

Soil erosion is costing the United States more than $3,800,000,000 a year, according to H. H. Bennett, chief of the U. S. soil conservation service. Half our land has been damaged. But farmers are working on soil conservation on 250,000,000 acres today and Bennett says that in the next 10 years, it will be possible for conservation forces to balance landwaste forces in the country.
