Dalton would be a Labor spokes- man of ability, free of cares of of- fice, who could go where he was needed and fire the party organiza- tion with the force it will need to meet Conservative campaigns. Erosion, Waste Is Endangering U.S. Farmlands By R. J. ANDERSON Canadian Press Staff Writer New York--(CP)--Of the 1,903,- 176,620 acres of farmlands and bad- lands, mountains and mesas, desert and swamp that is the United States, only 460,000,000 acres of good cropland remain. By the mid- 1950s, experts warn, these product- ive acres may be insufficient to support the population in the man- ner to which it is accustomed. The Soil Conservation Service, which seeks to show the American farmer how best to work his land, says that 500,000 acres of topsoil are being lost annually to erosion and over-use. If forecasts of a rising population and declining croplands--good land that will not be damaged by continuous use pro- viding proper farming methods are practised--are borne out, the dan- ger point of land insufficiently will be reached shortly after 1950. It is estimated that about three acres of land are required to pro- vide each 'inhabitant of the United States with food and clothing at an "average" standard of living-- 420,000,000 acres now are in use for the 1947 population of 144,239,000. The reserve of 31,000,000 acres will be exhausted, government statistics show, after 1950 by which time the population is expected to be at least 147,500,000, rising to 170,000,000 by 1970. About 550,000,000 acres of good croplands were available in the United States in 1800. Erosion and poor farming practices since have destroyed or damaged millions upon millions of acres, a situation preva. lent to a lesser-extent in the Cana- dian West where excessive use of the land has been widespread since the turn of the century. Between 1895 and 1930, the annual loss in the United States was 1,000,000 acres of topsoil but it now has dropped to an estimated 500,000. flood damages, siltation of reser- voirs and so on... "Nothing less than scientific, acre-by.acre treatment and use of the land will halt 'erosion, safe- guard our productive land and maintain it in a permanently pro. ductive condition." The S.C.S. in 1934 completed the only general reconnaissance survey ever made of the United States. The service terms it "if anything, conservative in the amounts of erosion shown, as indicated by sub- sequent detailed surveys in specific localities." In addition, 280,000,000 acres have been conservation-sur- veyed in detail, on a scale adequate for individual farm planning. The reconnaissance survey cover- ' ed all 48 states. Its over-all sum- mary shows: Mountains, mesas, badlands, etc., TELESCOPE FROM BRITAIN Canberra--(CP)--The Common- wealth observatory at Mount Strom« lo here is to obtain a 74-inch tele- scope from Britain to study stars visible only in the southern hemis- phere. The only similar telescope south of the equator is the Rad. cliffe telescope in South Africa. BIG HERRING CATCH Great Yarmouth, England -- (CP)--Herring hauls this season were so heavy that fishing nets were carried away and some dam. aged beyond repair, STARTS TOMORROW 8 :00--Candid Mi " Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Dec. 18.--(CP)-- Boom- ing, self-confident Hugh Dalton is making nonsense of the old British OBL | belief that a public man even re- CIBC motely connected with a budget FRB | leak in finished for good. Other politicians have been ban- ished to the shadows without any wrongdoing being proved against him, The mere suggestion that they might have dropped a hint to their friends before a budget was given the Commons has been enough to damage, if not destroy, their car- eers. The difference with Dalton is that no one thinks he had anything to gain personally from giving a re- porter information about his Noe vember budget before it was read to the house. An ardent partisan, he probably -- his friends say -- had some thought of benefiting his par- ty when he made his error. @ab- inet Ministers of his type like to be friendly with influential papers that treat their political opinions fairly. > When challenged in the Com- mons, Dalton admitted his mistake frankly and said he would welcome whatever inquiry was desired. To observers it seemed like the end of a notable figure in Britain's public life. Although Prime Minister Att- lee, in a letter to his colleague, spoke of the event as an "interrup- tion" in Dalton's career rather than the end. Since then, Dalton has received demonstrations of confidence from his local labor supporters in Bishop Auckland constituency and from fellow-members in the Commons. He continues a popular figure in parliamentary lobbies and his good works are remembered in letters to the newspapers. 'When he appeared before a gath- ering of 2,000 Northumberland coal miners at Newcastle-on-Tyne, he was cheered for almost a minute when he mounted the platform. He made a typical, forthright speech of faith in labor principles and gov=- ernment policies which slaps at "the poor old tories" and jests at the opposition failure to capture Gravesend constituency In a by- election.

SHARP For 50 years Hugh H. Bennett, the 8.C.8.'s first and only chief, hag been trying to redeem American farmland from the exhaustion of over-farming, erosion and waste. In a recent address he said bitterly: "Because of our thriftless ways with the use of our God-given heri- tage of productive land, such as probably no nation before us ever fell heir to, we have left in this country today only about 460,000,000 acres of good cropland. All but about 100,000,000 acres of this is subject to erosion...Erosion is still costing us in the United States more than $1,000,000,000 a year in Such measurable items as direct cost to farmers, contribution to 1:30--News 30--Chuck Wagon Serenals :30--Galen Drake :30--Maurice Bodington :30--8Show Tune Time :30--What's Your Beef? :30--Jack Berch Mus.
