Rivers they haven't looked where
they are going. Ed Rivers had a
good program. Maybe he didn't
think it out and maybe he didn't
tell the people there'd have to be
more money to finance it. They
should have known that anyhow.
When Charley Redwine was running
he used to ask if they were going to
get the money out of a croous sack
to pay those old-age pensions. But
the people wanted them and they
wanted better .schools and better
teachers. They wanted the maternal
mortality rate lowered and they
wanted some health clinics.
"Now, if they aren't careful they
are going to find it difficult to fight
Ed Rivers' program and at the same
time offer one themselves. They've
got to be for schools and for health
and for care of the old people. So,
here and there I hear people asking
what the new candidates are going
t 0 have to say.
"Also, it isn't too popular to be
against Roosevelt now as it was
some time ago. I hear a lot of coun
try bankers who used to oome near
a stroke of apoplexy when they
heard his name, speak up and say
they'd rather have him In there
during a war than anyone else they
know. If he gets popular again that
means schools and health clinics
and care for the old Is going to be
a popular program. That fellow

The state program is not extrav

Great Value of Strip Cropping
H. N. Franklin Notes Change
of Color in Series of
Observations.
Where there's clear water flow
ing through terrace channels in
cultivated land, there's likely to be
strip cropping.
H. N Franklin, cooperating farm
er in the erosion-control demonstra
tion area of the Soil Conservation
Service near here, has taken
fui notice of the difference in the
color of water flowing in terrace
channels below both close-growing
and clean-tilled crops. It has dem
onstrated to him the value of strip
cropping, he says.
After a rain, he noticed that wa
ter in terrace channels below strip
of clase-growing crops was nearly
clear. But the water In terrace chan
nels below cotton, peanuts, or corn
was muddy.
The meaning of in Is was obvious
he says. The strips of close-growing
crops not only protected the soil
on which these crops were growing
but served to retard the run-off
water and Liter out the soil washed
from clean-tilled land.
Another advantage of alternate
strips of close-growing and clean
td ] rd c ,. 0 p iS m,. Franklin point- oui
is that, by retarding run-off water,
th- close-growing rops Increase the
absorption of moisture into the soil
This has been shown on his farm
he says, by the fact that, row crops
following close-growing crops In the
rotation survive droughts much bet
ter than row crops which do not
follow close-growing crops.
By the use of legumes in the
rotation which hp is now following,
Mr. Franklin says he is conserving
soil and moisture and increa-ing'tlTe
productivity of the soil at the same
time.
