The above cut is made from a drawing for a poster that is being prepared 

 by the State Geological Survey, to be put up in those parts of the State where 

 waste from washing is greatest, and where a special effort is being made to 

 have gullied lands reclaimed; but it is applicable wherever land washes. 

 The size of the poster is 10 by 13 inches.
