Use Of Contour Farming Prevents Damage To Fields By Uncontrolled Water Supply BROOK1NGS, Aug.

7--Water is essential for good crops, but unless it is controlled, it can cause much damage to the fertility of a field, says Ralph E. Hansen, extension soil conservationist, State College. These two pictures show the difference. In the top picture, water is being ost after a three-fourths inch rain. Concentration of water in the channel at the right has removed several inches of soil from the entire bed of the stream.

Row-crops that are planted in the up-and-down hill manner, conduct the rain very rapidly into the ravine, thus causing a loss of both soil and water. The lower scene shows how the contours have retained the moisture for the production of crops and consequently have halted any" excessive soil erosion. The contour strips hug the hill and lessen the amount of soil and water loss. Permanent grasses have been planted in two natural drains to allow excess water to run off without gullying. Contour farming, as shown in the lower picture, is now being, carried out by one of every 60 farmers in the state.

Soil conservation specialists anticipate a large increase in the number by 1941. GOOD HEALTH MORE PRECIOUS lhan- GOLD To keep good health, we must guard it well. Watch it.

MONTGOMERY WARD PHONE 771 TO DAKOTA LITTLE FALLS, Aug.

7-Be a cavalryman and never mount a horse--that is, if you happen to be in the mechanized cavalry. And you'll be as hard-riding, hard- fighting as the horse cavalryman; for you'll ride in a scout car or a combat car or motorcycle that will travel 70 miles an hour with the greatest of ease. The modern Army possesses both horse and mechanized cavalry, and both types will be present at the maneuvers of the troops of the Seventh Corps Area. These maneuvers begin August 11 and will be conducted in the 900,000 acre area leased in this vicinity for that purpose. The Second, Fourth and Fourteenth Cavalry regiments of the Regular Army and the 113th Cavalry, Iowa National Guard, and 114th Cavalry, Kansas National Guard, comprise the cavalry which will participate in the maneuvers.

The Regular Army Cavalry units are now in the maneuver area, while the National Guard cavalry began arriving Aug. 3. Cavalry is one of the oldest of the combat arms. To the United States Army must be given the credit for making it one of the important weapons in warfare. This is attested by the exhaustive studies made by European nations of American Cavalry tactics.

Newest The Fourth Cavalry, Regular Army, is the newest type. It is known as a Reconnaissance regiment, in which horse and mechanized cavalry are combined to form a cavalry force which travels fast, strikes hard and transports a tremendous fire power. A cavalry reconnaissance regiment consists of two squadrons, one mechanized, and one horse. Each squadron consists of two troops of three platoons each. In the mechan- ized squadron troops, two platoons of each troop consist of scout cars which are capable of moving at tremendous speeds.

The third platoon of each of these troops consist of motorcycles. The horse cavalry squadron is motorized to the extent that the horses and men are carried in trailers, eight horses, eight men and 'their, equipment, and some for age to each trailer. One of the many important task of Cavalry is reconnaissance (explor ation) of the ground, ahead of tht main body of an advancing force When a reconnaissance regiment, as the Fourth Cavalry, is employed on such a task, the mechanized squad ron leads the way. Scout cars of the squadron push along the roads running parallel to the line of advance while patrols of motorcyclists scou the side roads and the countryside As soon as an enemy force is en- information is sent by radio or other means of communication to the horse cavalry squadron in the rear of the mechanized squadron. Then, while the advanced squadron is engaged with the enemy to the front, the horse squadron moves up.

Horses, men.and weapons are unloaded from the trailers, and this force attacks the enemy's flank and' rear. The Armament The armament of the cavalry includes the 45 calibre pistol, rifle, caliber .30 airrcooled machine caliber .30 water-cooled machine gun, caliber .45 sub-machine gun caliber .50 machine gun, 37 mm. gun, and the 4.2 inch mortar. The flashing saber and the wild yell of the charging cavalryman are colorful relics of the past. The modern cavalryman enjoys the respect of his comrades in the other arms of the service as a modern soldier, fast, hard-hitting and skilful in the use of the arms at his command.
