TOUR DRRT fO IB SOIL
Have you considered
what you owe-to the soil? Is it
something that is here to ho
used regardless of the conse-
quences?
To • groat many people* and
there .are masky, the soil i* <t
whipping Bait— to do -<wtth
whatever they desire. To own
a piece of .llM carriea a greater
obligation than just to pay for
it or to make*** living on it, or
make it pay for itself and' make
a living fOLjjfOU,, . You, . - as. a
landowner, tenant, businessman,
or whatever your occupation
have an obligation to the soil.
You may say whtft is my obli-
gation, what do I owe to the
land. Well, you may say you
owe everything you have to the
land. Land is the basis of all
wealth Everything comes from
the soil in one form or another.
Without a sound' agriculture no
industry is secure, and sound
eijwiculture comes only through
proper use'of the land.
Now, how is proper land use
established? • It can only be
done by having a • • complete
knowledge of the soil This in-
cludes its capabilities and limi-
tations. All soils have capa-
bilities. which are governed by
the soil itself; while limitations
are due to rainfall, climate, lo-
cation and man The land ca-
pability cannot b e feasibly
changed by man. Also the limi-
«anant be Amraciahl!.
dunged, with the exception of
man In some caaea, mora
water can be supplied to the
soil safely, if the soil has the
capability to handle extra water.
The soils of west Texas were
formed under rainfall condi-
tions, ranging from 18 to 35
inches Now add 10 more
inches and the soil is sub-
jected to an unnatural condi-
tion which it is unaccustomed
to; and man haa again subject,
ed the soil to a strain which
Will deplete the soil of plant nu-
trient in a short period of time,
if proper care and management
is not practiced.
... We must use our soil, but we
must use Jt correctly if our
high standard of living is to
continue At the present time
our population kr increasing
over one million persons per
year, while the yields from Our
«oils are gradually decreasing.
Are. we doomed to suffer a fa-
mine in the future?
The American way of life is
based on competition among
individuals. The same is true
among people on the land—ev-
eryone likes to compare his
success with, that of his neigh-
bors Yields from the land is
usually the comparison—so many
bales and so many cattle sold;
always yield—never give credit
to the land or the condition of
the land is left in.
There is no law that requires
a man to use his land correct-
ly The land belongs to man and
is used as man desires. That,
>, It the American way.
Now, what can he done about
getting proper use on the land?
There are many things that can
b done and everyone can do
their part The people directly
connected with the land can
get ftNuaJnted with their jm,
It's time that this was done.

important as it is the basis loir
a sound, permanent agricul-
ture. Learn to recognise the
soil's limitations, and all aOfls
have some limitatiohs—which
may be remedied in most cases.
And have the desire to do right
by the land.
F*or people not directly con-
nected with the .soil, you can
also learn the problems which
the farmers and ranchers, have,
and appreciate the work they
are dping to establish a sound
agriculture.

businessmen, civic groups, reli-
gious groups—would like fur-

THE LIFE OF A PHI
(Exchange)
A pig originally ruetled far
his food and shelter in the wilds.
Then he was seduced with 'free'
meals to fatten him, and his life
and freedom were forfeited lor
board and room. The wild pig
had a future, but only one end
a wafted his cared-for brother.
Man has a brain to chooae
freedom, but' histttyt tare aad
record of results under socialism
to which he has often succumb-
ed. This course has led to
servitude and subluxation. Man
found lost freedom the price of
false security.
There is no jjAo&icut to a
fruitful life. Man can delegate
a few duties to government, but
to maintain his liberty he must
not submit to government for
subsistence. ~
