DID YOU KNOW 4,000,000 TONS OF TOP SOIL 
ARE WASHED AND BLOWN AWAY YEARLY? 
Why Not Put a Stop to the Droughts? 
PLANT FOREST TREE SEEDLINGS FOR REFORESTATION 
The Egyptians transported trees 1500 miles 
over 4,000 years ago. Babylonians and Greeks 
were also great tree planters. 
Our rain-making trees are practically gone, 
and instead of business men taking an interest 
in work that will save this country, as they did 
in England and Europe in the 15th century, they 
wait for something to turn up, as they still do in 
treeless Asia and Northern Africa. 
With 4,000,000 tons of our top soil washed 
or blown away yearly, 50,000,000 acres has pro¬ 
duced its last food, over a million on farms must 
be supported or moved where they can make a 
living, and half of the world starving, still 
college graduates, who know ancient history say: 
"Teaching children to plant trees for lumber and 
saving land still producing grain is a kinder¬ 
garten proposition."
