I Our Crop Land
|ls Wasting Away
By JACK C. MILLER
Soil Conservationist
The use of close-growing crops,
including such winter legumes as
1 vetch. Austrian winter peas,
crimson clover and Blue Lupine,
i s fundamental i n controlling
I soil erosion and improving soil
fertility.
] Mother Nature’s method of
| protecting the land surface by a
I mantle of vegetable cover of for
ests and grass has been highly
. successful, whereas modern cul
tivation practices have, in the
imain, been highly destructive,
!as shown in the table below.
I This test was made at the Soil
I Conservation Experiment Station
Tn South Carolina and coven the
period of 1931 to 1939.
TABLE
Soil and Water Loss Per Acre
From Various Crops and Covers.
Tons of Per Ct. of
Cover Soil Lost Run Off
Bare Soil G 6.2 29.5
Continuous Cotton 31.2 12,4
Lespedsa 1.5 5.3
Permanent Sod .3 1.9
Virgin Woods .002 .06
From this table we can readily
see what is happening on our
crop land and suggested rerr.c
dies. All land can’t be devoted
to continuous cover but all land
should be in cover at least a part
of time.
Just how do cover crops pro
tect and improve our soil? First,
the vegetative cover intercepts
the rain drops. A great deal of
water is retained on the leaves
and stems. The remainder i s
checked and eased gently onto
the soil below and remains clear.
Clear water is much more easily
absorbed by the soil than muddy
water thus reducing runoff. Run
loff is further reduced by the per
dition of organic matter to the
soil by vegetative cover. The or
ganic matter acts as a sponge to
soak up the water reducing run
off and loss of soil.
Organic matter improves the
physical condition of the soil. It
also furnished food t o useful
Bacteria that in turn feed grow
ing plants and in the case of le
gumes, store nitrogen in the soil
for pasture crops. Organic mat
ter further insures a supply of air
and moisture necessary for plant
growth.
Organic matter is fnndamental.
Without it, the soil is sterile and
nonproductive. It can only be
maintained in the soil by regular
additions of plant or animal resi
dues, A popular method is the
turning under of cover crops,
crop residues and the application
of barnyard manure.
Hence the imortantance of co
ver crops. And they not only add
organic matter, but return to the
soil the elements which they took
from the soil in their growth.
And in the of legumes, they
also add to the soil, nitrogen
taken from the air.
An average crop of Austrian l
winter peas, for example, re-1
turns to the soil the equivalent!
of 75 to 150 pounds of acid phos-i
phate and 50 to 100 pounds of|
muriate of potash, taken fromj
the soil in its growth, plus nitro-;
gen equivelent to 200 t o 4 0 0
pounds of nitrate of soda, plus
organic matter equivalent t o
four to eight tons of manure.
Added plant food and organic
matter means less runoff, less
soil loss, healthier, and more pro
ductive plants, which adds up to
increased yields at lower costs
and that is more important in
the days and years ahead as the
competition grows stronger and
the war boom disapears.
The new land is gone! We’ll
have to get along with what we
have, Good land, getting better,
by the use of cover crops and all
other means available to protect
and improve it is the answer to
security for tomorrow.

I French Speed Up
Rail Rebuilding
Tremendous Damage Is Be
ing Repaired Rapidly.
PARlS.—Despite the tremendous
j damage suffered by France’s rail
j roads during the war, reconstruc
tion has been proceeding rapidly
Officials in charge of the program
are pointing to 1946 as the year
which should see a near turn to
prewar normalcy.
Gains have been made despite the
fact France has been suffering from
the most acute shortage of coal in
its history, besides a shortage of
almost every kind of material need
ed in the reconstruction job.
In September, 1944, the railroads
seemed almost beyond hope of re
pair. Not a single phase of the
system had escaped damage.
Locomotives, freight and passen
ger cars, tracks, stations, freight
yards, bridges, repair shops, sid
ings—all had been seriously dam
aged.
Out of a total of 17,000 locomo
tives which France had in 1930, 11,-
800 remained following the libera
tion.
Only 2,900 of these were usable.
Today there are 12,800 engines in
France, 8,100 of which are in run
ning order.
Damaged locomotives are being
repaired at the rate of 100 per
month.
To rebuild further their depleted
stock of engines the French have
placed orders in America and Can
ada for 1,340 engines, with deliv
ery expected during 1946.
Before the war there were approx
imately 460,000 freight cars. Only
230,000 remained following libera
tion. But today the French are re
pairing their damaged cars at
the rate of 2,000 per month.
Stations are to be considerably
enlarged, while repair shops will
be strategically located throughout
France and furnished with the latest
equipment.
About 40 of the big rail yards
were destroyed up to 80 per cent or
more during the war. Today these
yards are approximately 75 per cent
repaired. Some of them are actually
handling more cars today than they
did in 1943.
Throughout their repair of all in
stallations, especially destroyed sta
tions, depots and repair shops, the
French are modernizing.
