There is no method of accurately measuring the exact damage caused by soil drifting. It is estimated that one inch of surface soil blown from a single section of land means the movement of approximately 100,000 tons of soil. In Central Oklahoma, as a result of storms occurring in the high plains of the United States during March and April, 1935, dust was deposited at an average rate of 82 pounds per acre.

The news writers know that people see every item and every ad. People see a "3" where it should be "5", and they see every wrong initial, every mis-spelled name and y omission of items they expect to see. "Where people will see it?" There is no place you can put anything in the newspaper that people will not see it. Read condensed ads. on page 5 It Might Be You Take a good 'look" at this picture --it's a verbal one, but it tells the story just the same. Even though you won't like it, still it is something you must face if Ontario's annual highway slaughter is to be stamped out. It is a gruesome picture--and one that happens every day on our- streets and highways. This accident happened because the driver was careless. He died'--his face a grotesque caricature with his skull split open like a cocoanut, his chest a gaping hole where he had beben stabbed by the jagged steering column. His wife was less fortunate--she lived. But every time she looks into a mirror she wishes she had died, too. Modem plastic surgery can perform miracles, but it has limitations. When she looks at herself in the mirror with the eye that isn't glass she still shudders, even though the accident happened three long years ago. Their five-year-old daughter lived, o. But she doesn't realize it. Her skull was fractured and her brain injured. It is much more difficult to rebuild a brain than a face. Don't say it can^, happen tto you-- because it can and you know it? Today's headlines of dead, dying and injured people may be telling a story about you in to-mbrrow's papers. But you can help to protect yourself. How? DEMAND SANE AMD CAREFUL DRIVING FROM EVERY MOTORIST. Report those you see driving dangerously. And more important-- drive sanely and carefully yourself. It is estimated thiat soil drifted from one acre to the depth of one inch is equivalent to the removal of approximately 694 pounds of nitrogen, 155 pounds of phosphorus, and 5.380 pounds of potash.
