In a professional i sense Dr. Sloan became known in a way comparable to the famous Mayo brothers of Rochester, Minn. But in spite of the growth of his fame to national and International proportions, Dr. Sloan was to his neighbors in Bloomington the same modest, kindly, unobtrusive man and friend he had always been. He personally gave his time, effort and resources to improve local hospital facilities.

He performed uncounted operations for which he could not expect pay, and thus performed services for the poor which equaled the services the rich might buy. He was genial and hospitable.

Cornish in whose building the city library is located, is having the library room piped for gas this week, and the library board will then install a gas heater. The room is expected to be more comfortable than last winter when it was heated with coal, and a defective flue caused smoke in the room and some resulting discomfort. Some money from city taxos voted last spring for support of the library will be available in short time, and other needed equipment, among which will be new books, will be purchased. runs readily. It strips the surface area of its productive covering of surface soil and with the loss of this productive covering of surface soil there goes with it much of the humus, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, lime and organic life of the soil.

Since the surface soil contains two to four times as much nitrogen and humus as the subsoil, once this loss occurs it cannot be completely replaced, even though heavy applications of manure ara added and green manure crops turned under. In sheet erosion the water is said to move over the surface, removing a more or less uniform layer of soil. Sheet erosion in reality, however, is a miniature form of gully erosion and occurs by the formation of small rivulets of drainage water cutting miniature gullies of from one- half to two Inches in depth. These miniature gullies are filled in by cultivation. The process is repeated on cultivated slopes after each rain where "run-off" water occurs.

The action is so slow that the effects of sheet erosion are usually not noticed until a considerable portion of the surface soil has been removed.
