Waste of Soil Erosion
Georgia’s Heavy Stroke
It is said that twenty times as
much fertility, or plant food, as
is taken from the soil of Ameri
can farms by their growing crops
is carried away each year by
erosion- This waste of soil has
continued unchecked so long that
seventeen million acres of form
erly good land has been gullied
and depleted to such an extent
that its owners cannot afford to
reclaim it.
Still more disquieting is the
fact that millions of other acres,
indeed as much as three-fourths
of the country’s tilled aiea, is
seriously affected and likewise
will be reduced to aarrenness
unless timely measures are taken
“In the Texas Black Belt, known
as one of the best cotton regi 'ns
of the world, a single rain on the
morning of May the tenth, this
year, washed away soil from av
erage slopes at the measured
rate of seventeen tons per acre.”
The quotation is from the rec
ords of a scientifically-conducted
experiment. Multiply the loss
by tens of millions, and you have
some indication of what erosion
means to American agriculture.
It is a problem and a peril be
side which the farm troubles that
usually catch the eye of politics
are altogether superficial.
It is a problem, moreover, that
politics can never solve, although
the government must take the
initiative in providing means of
research and treatment. But it
can be solved by science supple
mented by the cooperation of land
owners and land workers. Steps
to this end have been taken by
the federal Department of Agri
culture in cooperation with the
States. Experiment stations
have been, or are being, estab
lished in regions where soil waste
is most alarming.
Much useful data has been
gathered; measures of relief and
prevention are being wrought
out; and as soon as they are well
enough advanced,practical plans,
suited to particular needs, will
be giyen to the farmers concern
ed, through county agricultural
agents and other channels.
Every owner and worker of
our farms should give coopera
tion to the effort to stop this
waste of soil.
He Would Not Advertise.
There was a man in a certain
town,
And he was wondrous wise,
He swore by all the gods above
He would not advertise!
But one day he did break this
rule
And thereby hangs a tale;
The ad was set in real small type
And headed Sheriff’s Sale.

Queen Mary Defies
That Future Shadow
lADY Britons are overjoyed at
the discovery that their con
servative and beloved Queen
not only sanctions cigarette smok
ing, but has even indulged habitu
ally in the delicious weed for sev
eral years. According to the Lon
don News-Chronicle, which an
nounced the happy fact, the Queen
enjoys her cigarette after tea and
dinner just as the humblest of her
subjects do.
The Queen serves cigarettes to
her guests, royally sanctioning the
custom. She possesses a collection
of lovely smoker’s accessories.
With her customary moderation,
she limits herself as to the number
of the cigarettes she smokes dally.

' hiere’s lo Beauty !l

^° nsu ^ ,ni
JUST a few days ago I had a long
talk with a famous painter who
has done the portraits of many
beautiful women. And it was
astonishing to learn how much his
art had taught him about care of
the skin.
I found, when he began to talk
about feminine beauty, that noth
ing escaped his keen eyes. A. be
painted, he saw revealed the host
of tiny blemishes and little sagging
contours that the average person
would overlook. Indeed, he knew
quite as much about the texture of
the skin as any beauty expert.
“Why is it," he declared, ‘‘that
so many women are satisfied to
have complexions like the pigments
on oil paintings? When viewed
from a distance, their skin seems
lovely; but . hen one observes them
more closely it is found to be un
pleasantly course and rough look
ing. Only recently I met a charm
ing woman whose friends thought
lie was beautiful. But when she
at for her portrait, I saw clearly
that her skin actually was blotchy—
U.’re an oil painting that is viewed
in a poor light.”
Ue was right—some women's
kins do look like oil paintings!
Yet there is no need for any wo
man to let her skin grow coarse
ind weather-beaten—and old. If
the skin is treated as it should be,
it - texture will change only a little
through the years after twenty.
And no one should try to cover up
a neglected skin with a heavy layer
of powder, when it is so easy to
I cep the skin lovely with just a
' w minutes attention daily.

TO give an unusually delicious
flavor to your summer bever
ages, add to a base of sweetened
lemonade, tart jellies of different
varieties, beaten until syrupy. The
brightly colored jellies are as valu
able for. their color effects as they
are for the distinctive flavors they
impart. Two or three teaspoons to
a large glass is about the right
proportion.
When hanging recently washed :
curtains, it you have a trying time |
running the rod through the hem, '
put a thimble on the end of the
rod. Then you’ll have no trouble
getting it through, even though the
hem is stiff and stuck together.
Best of all, you’ll eliminate the risk I
of tearing delicate fabrics. *

Fir the best toast you have ever
tasted, lay the slices of bread
In the open oven for a few minutes
before toasting them. In addition
to improving tbe flavor, it makes
the toast more digestible, and it
browns much more evenly.
In providing for your family’s
health during the summer, remem
ber that iced beverages are by no
means a luxury; that on the con
trary they are as healthful as they
are delicious. The fruit juices
furnish vitamins, the sugar is a
much needed source of quick ener
gy, while the beverage as a whole
replenishes in the body the liquid
lost in the form of perspiration.

WITH fruits and berries plentiful
and cheap, and sugar selling at
a price as low as we have seen in
a generation, this is the ideal year
for special activity in home pre
serving. Put up in attractively
scaled and labeled glasses and jars,
jams and jellies will make inexpen
sive and deeply appreciated Christ
mas gifts for friends and relatives
when the Yule season rolls around.
A few juniper berries, obtainable
at" the drug store, placed in a fry
ing pan that has been heated until
very hot. will release aromatic
fumes which will quickly drive the
odor of cooking out of the house.
