This photograph (courtesy Soil Con- 
servation Service) is indeed worth a 
thousand words. For it shows clearly 
the practical use of a wise grass-legume- 
crop rotation combined with contour 
stripping for erosion control. It shows 
also that grassland farming is not just 
another theory, but the most profitable 
and easiest method of farm production. 
We have been and are convinced that 
the wise and extended use of improved 
legumes and grasses (such as Rhizoma 
Alfalfa, Intermediate, and Tall Wheat- 
grass) is essential not only for soil pro- 
tection but for profitable and continued 
food production. Grassland farming is 
a practical ideal worthy of all our sup- 
port.
