washing away over 100000 acres of farm land made poor during 1932 crops and their prices the devasta tion wrought by drought etc engross readers of agricultural items yt we rarely hear of the most desuctive force in the great farm rreas and tvat is the fact that the farms them selves are often slipping away washed down by water and even blown off by winds the ferine soil is being stript leaving the infertile sub soil not good for cultivation a national survey in the united states of these conditions has just begun says h h bennett writing of them in the new york times in america last year 3000000000 tons of soil washed out of fields and overgrazed pastures fully 100000 acres of farm land were made hope lessly poor under normal price con ditions this would have cost our farm ers 400000000 our original wealth in soil has served to prevent nnj general reali zation that all land is not permanent ly fixed unrestrained soil erosion is rapidly building a new empire ot wornout land in america land stript i of its rich surface layer down to poor j subsoil and land gullied beyond the possibility of practical reclamation i this wastage of the nations basic as set is speeding up threefourths of the agricultural area of the nation is sloping enough to invite ruinous cutting away al ready more than 100000 acres of the 350000000 in cultivation have lost all or most of the original topsoil bedrock has been reached in count less places and deep gullies have torn asunder millions of sloping acres all this has been abandoned yet all of it could have been saved probably no other nation or race has permitted such rapid depletion of large areas of its agricultural lands we have looked upon our vast do main of agricultural land as limit less and capable of enduring forever what are the menacing aspects of this evil erosion the area of the more favorable soils is steadily diminishing acreage yields are declining cultivation is more difficult and ccstly water flows across the im pervious clay exposed by the strip ping of the mellow absorptive top- soil more rapidly to augment floods stream channels are silting up and overflows are becoming more frequent and destructive vast areas of extra ordinary original productivity are be ing covered with infertile sand and gravel our best estimate mr bennett tells us indicate that erosion steals twentyone times as much plant food as the crops take off the land and it is by no means restricted to the action of rainwater in the drier parts of the country erosion by wind is frequently even more destructive he goes on thousands of fields have been stript of the productive surface layer great holes have been dug and numer ous areas have been deeply buried with the winddriven material in some localities farm machinery left in the open has been completely buried with this drifting soil recent ly winddriven dust from the west laid down over the black soils of iowa enough red material derived from the distant red plains of kan sas oklahoma and texas to give a distinct red color to the soil at the new experiment stations every promising practical method for slowing down erosion is to be tried out on a field scale terracing strip- cropping scarification of the land and other methods are being tested first on small plots and then in large fields the cheapest methods of reclaim ing erosionworn land are being deter mined with the cost conservation of the remaining soil however is to be the prime endeavor of the pro gram lather than reclamation of de pleted land variots methods of gully control

the time colombia for mally took over port leticia from peru by virtue of the salomon loz- ano treaty of 1932 was interrupted by the occupation of the port last september by 300 peruvian irregulars

system corporations of category added to groups in con trol of economic life rome italys famous guild system or corporate state after seven v years of operation has just been rounded out by the creation of what is known as corporations of category these are corporate groups of various cate gories of industry commerce and agri culture they include representatives of both employers and employees hitherto the guild system has been built on the following basis 1 syndicates consisting of groups either of employers or employed in va rious groups of endeavor divided geo- praphically according to provinces 2 federations consisting of all the syndicates in a certain branch of en deavor such as the metalurgical in dustry 3 the national council of corpora tions the supervising body of the guild system 4 the ministry of corporations headed by benito mussolini which is the governmental directing body the new corporations of category seem to fit in between the federations- and the national council they as sume some of the duties hitherto per formed by the ministry of corpora tions the chief importance of this de velopment may therefore be said to be the government passes on to the organizations of employers and em ployed themselves some of the func tions it previously abrogated to itself chief among these is the settlement of labor disputes the tasks of the cor porations of category are announced as four 1 advisory various ministries may call on them for an opinion on any matter coming within their compet ence 2 conciliatory they settle by con sent collective labor disputes in their own category a task hitherto dis charged by the ministry of corpora tions 3 judicial if the parties to a la bor dispute agree to refer to the cor poration rather than to the labor court its award will have executive force 4 regulatory the corporation can regulate collective economic rela tions with corporations in other cate gories the corporations of category will thus be able to act on such questions as smoothing out wage disparities in a given occupation regulating condi tions of apprenticeship and vocational training coordinatng credit welfare and- labor exchange
