To relieve fertilizer manufacturers
of distress caused by rising labor \

and of superphosphate.

Farming on the contour, following
the "curve of the land," is helping
to win the war for the United Na-
tions.
A revolutionary method, farming
on the contour not only is helping
produce bigger yields but also it is
saving soil and water to insure
a continued longtime productive
capacity. Cost of production, too,
has been cut as much as 70 cents
per acre by contour farming be-
cause conservation methods save
fuel, fertilizer, time, machinery-
wear and labor—all essential to a
wartime production economy.
Just as Columbus had faith in his
belief that the world was not flat
and proved it by discovering the con-
tinent which now has become the
hemisphere of the Americas, men
today have proved that the land
can be farmed successfully and prof-
itably on the contour. Just as Wash-
ington and Jefferson saw in their
day a need for soil conservation
practices, men of the past half cen-
tury also have seen the good earth
washing and blowing away, and
have developed the remedy.
Vernie Marshall of Texas is one
of the current group of men who
has seen the effects of soil erosion

tisement arc worth reading twice:

Chicken Disease Control
Cecal coccidiosis, a disease par-
ticularly destructive to chickens,
has been effectively prevented ex-
perimentally and may eventually be
controlled by the use of a chemical
compound developed for this pur-
pose.

While several sulphur compounds
have shown some promise, tetra-1
ethyl thiuram monosulfide, when fed
experimentally in unadulterated
form, appears to be the most satis-
factory drug yet tested.
Decision to concentrate further in-
vestigation on tetraethyl thiuram
monosulfide is based on the results
of preliminary experiments conduct-
ed at the University of Wisconsin.
To win this war we must have
unity of effort. "The do-as-I-tell-you-
not-as-I-do” attitude will never mo-
bilize national power or bring speedy
victory.
This need for united effort was
emphasized by the President in his
recent call for a 43 per cent reduc-
tion in the use of government auto-
mobiles. Take the use of tires and
gasoline by various federal agen-
cies. A report of the Joint Com-
mittee on Reduction of Non-Essen-
tial Federal Expenditures says:
"Despite the growing automobile
crisis, both in tires and gasoline, the
investigation , f the committee indi-
cates that for I he first four months
of the present fiscal year the various
agencies of the government, exclu-
sive of the Army and Navy, con-
tinued for the most part to u e as
man | sengcr cars, to drh
many miles, and to consume about
as much gasoline as did these agen-
cies in a comparable period of the
previous year, notwithstanding the
efforts of the government to reduce
the consumption of gasoline and con-
serve rubber.

Vernie Marshall was largely respon-

"Straight" farming, with the

hills and slopes, once was com-

In the last fiscal year the cost of
operating these automobiles was
$4,243,602. According to the use of
the first four months of the present I
year the cost will be $3,924,069. In I
the last fiscal year these govern- I

The average citizen struggling
with high taxes and a shortage of
manpower answers: If necessary,
amend the Internal Revenue Act for
this purpose.
To win the war we must spend J
money and use materials wisely. We
have enough manpower to do our '
essential jobs, but we have neither
the manpower nor the taxes to hire
special payrollers to do work that
can be done better by established
