Squeezing the Land Cain Lead To Bankruptcy (Atlanta Journal Those were the timcly words rccentiy uttered by A. V. Mc- Cormack, director of the Agricul- tural Conservation Program ai the Production and Marketing Administration who warned that failure to conserve land resources could bring a return of the day of "nickel cotton and two-bit wheat." The government officiai attrib- uted failure to conserve as one of the principal factors of a depress- ion. He said that "~a depression is anc of the main factors behind a land going ta pieces. You haven't.the money to buy fertiliz- er or build terraces or to buy secd for cover crops. Instead, you squeeze the land for every penny you can get and don't put anything back". He warned that nations have perished. "because they lacked vision on agricultural con- servation." And it can happen here. We do not beiieve it wili, because in the iast decade we have learned more ai the importance of conservation than perhaps ever before in our hîstory. Major credit in aour pro. gram. toward conserving our lands must.go to the gover-nment's soi! conservation program and our county agents, but it refleets credit aiso upon many other insti. tutions, including banks and newspapers, which have encour- aged good farmn practices in var- ious Ways. Nevertheless, at a time when farm prices are showing evidence ai declining, it is more important than ever that our farmers make every effort to conserve their farm resources and devote their energies toward obtaining high qualities and high yields. Squieez- ing the land and putting nothing back can lead to agriculturai bankruptcy, and that, in turn, can lead to the bankruptcy of the whoie economy ni the nation. It is a chance that must flot be taken. Chira's Great Wall is 1500 miles long. NESTLETON Communion Sundey will be ob- ser'ved in the United Church at 11:15, Oct. 2nd.

It is ail with the best and kindest intentions, we are taid, -but it does flot always pro- duce the happiest resuit. In a re- cent issue of the Border Standard of Galashiels, Scotland, Ex-provost John Smith, who might be any of us, strikes out. forthrightly at the British Government's Town and County Planning Act. Mr. Smith feels about this act some- thing as we might feel about the proposai that a Dominion- Provincial conference might be called to discuss the underwriting of variaus provincial and munici- pal schemes. Mie finds in it "a glimmering of good intent" but he goes on to point out, just as we fear, that 'where the terras of payment are distant and con- fused and where indîviduais are not directly responsible" many such projects "are likely to prove quite beyond their purse and power." But Mr. Smith of Galashiels is not dealing with à proposai, but with the accomplished fact, where the planners have reaily got into their stride and are going about doing good. No more than any other government can socialist governments finance ail the bene- fits they promise. The resuit, as Mr. Smith points out, is that even measures perhaps loftily conceiv- ed, such as the Town and Coi n- try Planning Act, resuit In ddlirnt. donc. Sa, whîlc the President of the Board of Trade is urging en- terprise ta "emulate the merchant advcnturers aifcdays gone by,"l ather planners are restricting the development of properties and levying taxes, flot on ascertained profits or real assets but on the estimateci returns af busineuses that bave not yet reaced the blue print stage. Remember, this is the argument af John Smithi of Galashiels, but it m'ight be aur argument whcn Mr. Howe's gen- erous suggestion camnes ta 111e and ls adapted totaheicwbims oai ai a- laldom.
