EROSION DAMAGE
Soil erosion is costing the
United States more than $3,800,-
000,000 a year and has already
damaged half the land of the
country. H. H. Bennett, chief of
the U. S. Soil Conservation Ser
vice, declares in his annual re
port to the Secretary of Agricul
ture. The productive soil wealth
of the nation is not as great as
most people commonly believe it
to be, according to Bennett, who
warns “that the United States
may eventually be face to face
with a serious land shortage un
less erosion is effectively and
promptly halted.”
