The Wingham Advance-Times, 1952-03-12, Page 8CONSERVATION CORNER Remember when you got 11Aost Won der-Tut Bike in _the world Surd you do! And do you remember how you got the money for it? The dimes and quarters you saved out of your allowance weren't enough, So you earned extra change doing chores. Slowly, so slowly, the total grew. Then, one great day, the bike was yours! You learned then about the necessity for saving to get some of the things you want most. But has time dimmed your memory of the lesson you learned so long ago? If so, remember — nothing has changed your needs for money in the future. Nor has any magic substitute been found for thrift. Today, millions of Canadians are practising their good habit of thrift by keeping up their life insurance payments to protect their families, while saving for the future. They've discovered that, to reach their goals, they must put money aside regularly.' Are you following their example?

This serves as a blueprint for both the short-,time and long-time plans of a district. It is made as soon as possible after the district is organized; it is based/ on a conservation survey that is made by soil scientists of the Soil Con- servation Service. • After the work plan has been made for the district, a conserva- tion plan is made for the individual farms of the district. These plans must be made in detail to show what each field will be used for and how it will be treated, An individual plan is needed for each farm be- cause each farm is operated as a separate unit; yet each farm plan n'ilAt dovetail into the plans for neighboring farms to give full pro- tection to all the land of a water- shed, Such plans are made by Soil Conservation Service technicians working with the individual farmers or with groups of farmers, Like the district plans, they are based on soil conservation surveys, SIMPLE LAND STANDARDS Each tract of land is different. The kind of soil, the 'slope, the de- gree of erosion, and the fertility and physidal condition of the land vary from place to place. And the climate varies. Altogether, there are millions of different kinds of land, In fact, no two patches of land are exactly alike. The important things for, a con- servationist to know ,ahout land, however, are what it should be used for and how it should be protected to keep it productive. Soil scientists, who• make conservation surveys, study each tract of land. They con- sider all of the things that might affect its use and conservation. Then simple maps are made that show .the capability of each acre. These maps divide land into eight classes. 98.2 97.7 158.0 150% 50% 66.2 IMPLEMENT PRICES ARE LOW in comparison with prices of other supplies the farmer buys Soil Conservation Soil conservation is the proper use and care of the land. It means us- ing the land to produce the greatest amounts of things most needed, and at the same time protecting it so it will not lose its productivity. Each field or acre must be used for things it is best suited to do and must be protected according to its needs. All measures that help keep the land productive are tools of conser- vation. Terraces, contours, organic matter, cover crops, grass, crop rot- ation, fertilizers, legumes, Strip crops, shrubs, trees, stubble mulch, drainage, irrigation and many other measures are conservation tools. Soil conservation includes any and all measures that will make the land produce more without damag- ing it, Conservation goes More Than Protect the Land Soil conservation does more than safeguard land. It directly or indir- ectly causes a wide variety of bene- fits. It increases crop yields and lowers the cost of production. It helps check drought damage to crops, pastures and meadows. It re- duces siltation in streams, harbors and reservoirs. It reduces flood crests on both major and minor streams. It helps to lessen damage to oyster beds and breeding and feeding grounds of fish, grabs and other valuable aquatic life. And it helps improve the nutritional value of food grown from the land. Farmers who are practicing con- servation farming estimate that it has increased their yields by more than 30 per cent. Conservation also increases the yields of grazing and forest lands. Soil conservation districts which have been organized in the U. S., are local units of government oper- ating under State laws. Most soil conservation districts have both short-time and long-time plans. Some erosion problems are so acute that they can't wait. Work on these critical areas must be done now to prevent severe dam- age to the land. So the supervisors of a district usually plan to work first on those farms that need help most. Each district makes a work plan that shows all conservation jobs that need to be done and how each job FOR FIRE, LIFE & AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE Call Stewart A.

Canadian-made products at a low level of increase over 1941, is clearly' shown by the above chart of price indexes. • All coax modities are shown as 97.7% higher than 1941; raw materials are 98.2% higher; average hourly rates of pay Massey-Harris Canadian plants are 158.0% higher: yet Massey-Harris Canadian-made farm implements have increased only 66.2%. • The continued great world demand for labour-saving farm equip. ment has given a volume permitting high operating efficiency in relation to production and selling costs, making possible the partial abtrption of the increased costs of materials and labour. • With the scarcity and high cost of experienced help, farmers find in modern machinery the means to maintain high volume pro• duction at low operating cost. *Dot-Moil:so Bureau of Statistic* Wholesale Price Indexes, -Yr a Morris Twp.
