Carman Coutts in a letter to his parents last week, told an interest- ing story of a goat. This goat has made its home in the bedroom of a French home. They wished to take over this upstairs room but when they entered it they heard a movement. They steeled themselves to capture a Nazi' soldier but found it was a goat that was in possession. After much effort they got the animal into the yard but as soon as it had foraged some food back to the room it went so- the soldiers gave up. It has eaten the curtains in the room as far as it could reach. He also told of a stray calf which they adopted until they found a good mother for it. • * * The sympathy of this community is again extended to Mrs. Hedley and her daughter, Mrs. E. D.

SOIL EROSION IN EASTERN CANADA (Experimental Farm News) Because of the quiet way soil eros, ion takes place millions of acres of land in Eastern Canada are eroded to a greater or lesser degree each year and the, destruction goes on almost unnoticed. Little information is avail- able in Canada to illustrate to what extent soil does erode. Measurements taken under similar conditions elsewhere show that corn or other hoed crops grown continuous- ly on an 8 per cent slope and cultivat- ed up and down the slope may lose as high as 60 tons of soil from the surface annually. The amount of soil lost un- der general conditions will vary with the amount of rainfall, degree of slope, type. of soil, method of cultivating and cropping and with general field man- agement. Unless extreme care is tak- en in the method of farming rolling land, tremendous losses will occur through the erosion of the fertile top- soil. That the loss of this top-soil is ser- ious' is well demonstrated in an experi- ment conducted by the Field Husband- ry Division at the Central Experimen- tal Farm, Ottawa, says Dr. P. 0. Rip- ley. The experiment conducted on a fertile' loam soil with a surface layer 7 inches deep, gave a 6 year average yeild of barley amounting to 49 bus- hels. When three inches of the top- soil was removed, the yield was reduc- ed to 40 bushels. With six inches of soil removed, the yield .was only 25 bushels and with all of the surface soil removed, a meagre 12 bushels was ob- tained,,a decrease of 75 per cent. A great deal of preventable erosion takes place every year and represents an unnecessary reduption in the coun- try's agricultural production. Slopes of over 10 to 15 per, cent should be taken out of cultivation and replanted to soil protecting grass or trees. Lesser slopes should be farmed on the con- tour. Grass and legume crops should be included in the rotation. Gullies should be controlled by grassing or in- stalling stop dams.# The soil should be kept open. and porous by adding organic matter and increasing the fer- tility. In other words conserve the soil by following good farming meth- ods. Language is 'the only instrument of science, and words are but, the signs of ideas.-Samuel Johnson. WESTFIELD Mr. a'n'd Mrs..
