Millions of Acres Are 



Destroyed By Erosion 



The iialion-wide soil eiosioii survey 

 completed in 1935 revealed thai the 

 greater part of an area of 44,213,887 

 acres outside of the arid western region 

 had been essentially destroyed by wind 

 or water erosion insofar as general use 

 for crop rotation is concerned. Most of 

 this had been cultivated and once was 

 good soil, reports H. H. Bennett, chief 

 of the Soil Conservation Service. 



A loss of practically all of the top 

 soil from the greater part of an area 

 of 86,782,934 additional acres was deter- 

 mined by the survey. "In addition to 

 this seriously eroded area," said Ben- 

 nett, "the survey showed an aggregate 

 of 467,875,940 acres on which from one- 

 fourth to three-fourths of the topsoil 

 has been lost over more than 25 per 

 cent of its extent."

Sporadic safety weeks to reduce auto- 

 mobile accidents are of little or no avail 

 because people too easily forget the ma- 

 terial placed before them during that 

 limited period. In fact, it appears that 

 a safety week, as such, cannot be justi- 

 fied any better than a "sanitary week" 

 could be during which time the sewers in 

 town are used while during the other 51 

 weeks of the year the refuse is disposed 

 of in the streets. There is no certain 

 time of the year which is particularly 

 dangerous over the other times and to 

 combat a constant menace takes constant 

 effort. 



Safety councils should be a part of 

 each community and will be within the 

 near future. These organizations lead 

 in the presentation of accident preven- 

 tion measures and it is felt that progres- 

 sive communities will not be long in tak- 

 ing this action. That it works is shown 

 by the fact that Chicago in the last year 

 has reduced its accidents 22 per cent and 

 a smaller community ,hould be more 

 responsive and show a better record 

 than thia. 



Recent rural accident trends indicate 

 that speeding is becoming an increasing- 

 ly common cause for accidents and it is 

 especially discouraging to hear people 

 who should know better boast about the 

 fifty- and sixty-mile per hour average 

 they recently made on some trip. Thi» 

 person's listeners generally acclaim his 

 feat as being noteworthy. It would seem 

 to be self-evident that no one can es- 

 tablish such a driving average without 

 speeding through small towns and other- 

 wise ignoring the welfare of people us- 

 ing the streets and highways. 



Folks don't boast about halitosis or 

 foot-itch, but the intellectual weakness 

 that begets speed, with the resultant 

 dangers to others, is constantly a matter 

 of recitation. Fast driving time cannot 

 be made safely, and whenever anyone 

 acknowledges the fact that he is guilty 

 of such speed he publicizes the fact that 

 he has no consideration for the rights 

 and safety of others. With the modern 

 automobile anyone can drive at high 

 speeds and it should soon become an 

 axiom that the crazier the driver the 

 faster the time.
