• If you suddenly came face to
face with a wet road emergency
what would you give to turn the
dangerous film of water under
your car into a DRY TRACK?
That's exactly what the new
Goodrich Silvertown with the
Life -Saver Tread does. The
never-ending spiral bars of
this amazing tread act like
a bdttery of windshield
wipers—sweep the water
out through deep drainage
grooves, leaving a DRY sur-
face for the rubber to grip.
No wonder we claim that
Silvertowns will give you the
quickest non-skid stops
you've ever had. Make us
prove it. Come in today.

The Effect Of
Soil Erosion
®rasion is probably the greatest
single factor ceasing loses of soil
letrility. A large percentage of the
available .plant food in soil is Pres-
ent in the weathered surface layer,
and may be permanently lost
through the removal of that layer
by erosion, .A familiar example
may be observed in the loss of pro-
ductivity caused by the formation
of gullies. The loss which accom-
panies the gradual, umdfonm removal
of surface soil by sheet erosion, may
be lesu apparent than in gullying,
but is no less real.
The effelet of sheet erosion is re-
ducing soil fertility is clearly dem-
onstrated by the results, of an ex-
perdmen.t which has been in pro-
gress for four years on the Central
Fixperimnetal Farm, Ottawa, estates
Wan. Dickson, cf the Field Husband-
ry Div2sdon. In this experiment
the effect on crop growths of
varyfing degrees of erosion has been
determined by growling barley On
plots from whielh different amounts
of the surface soil has ,been re.
moved. This dark surface soil is
approximately seven inches deep,
overlying lighter coloured subsoil.
For the four-year period of the ex -
Pertinent the follonving average
yields per acre of barley have been
secured from unfertilized land: no
surface soil emoved, 39.5 busliets;
thee inches of surface soil removed,
32,7 bushels; six inches of surface
soil removed, 18,0 b•eshets; and all :
surface soil removed, 39.5 bushels;
These results indicate that the
lass int proluctivity aeompanging
seal erosion has increased rapidly
in proportion to the depth of sur-
face soil removed, the productivity
of exposed. subsoil being less than
one-seventh that of undisturbed Sur-
face soil,
In the seams exp^wment, where

drilled in vrtth the seed, the average

3 hushes remioveal, 43.1 busheie; 6

face soil reproved, 14.0 bushels per
acre. It will be scan that the
fedlilizer used in ibis experiment
has coarnen,eated in part only for
the lostses caused) by erosion. Nore-
over, the fertilizer has been less

The foregoing resets suggest the
importance of employing soll-con

hay, and of soil saving cultural
practices, such as acrosb' the slope

Control of Poultry
External Parasites
Though next to impossible to
avoid external parasites in poultry
dur3ny the summer moustus, as they
fay be introduce) to the flock and
premises by wild birds, thelse pests,
red mites and lice, are comparative
ly easy to detect and. control. As
dirty and unsanitary conditions are
usual by regpouslble for 'heavy infer-
tatlon, the avoidance or removal of
these agents may go far towards
redaiding the risk. Lice live entire-
ly on the body of the bird, their

ing and biting. Their fa'tor'iite habi.

Markers For Rural

As' a means of identifying rural
mail couriers while in pellform.ance
of duty, a special metal marker will
be issued to each .courier,, the Econ.

has announced.
These markers are approximately
the same size as automobile license
plates, to which they will be attach-
ed by those couriers operating
motor vehicles. ,
Tho marker will display the royal
crown anti. the words'. "Rural Mail."
When the vehicle is not actually be-

marker must be reversed and the

fication, platee5 have unanimously
