TUESDAY, JAN. 13. 1942 oil Conservation Manitoba Urged C. NATION cannot be supported on a desert." This was the opening punch of a flood of comprehensive r'ts and figures on the immediate need of conservation ilour soil resources by J. II.

Ellis, professor of Soils, iversity of Manitoba, in an address to the Eastern 'iltoba branch of the Canadian f.iety of Technical Agncuitur I at the St. Regis notel Monday nine. ijlvilizatlon Is linked with con Vatlon of the soil, ha continued, suggested that the produc jty of the soils in semi arid 'as, such as Western Canada, I not be maintained under pres practices. 'The Canadian technical agri 'turist is faced with the all taortant task of fostering ''thods of soil management and 1'ivlde methods to control soil Jitlng and water erosion and Po combat drought," Prof. Ellis 1 ft Love of Soil Vital we must farm tlie land ana ke a living at the same time.

is the problem of technical agrl i.turlsts to establish principles present them to the man who Ua itindU A Kah all t'a mi let ablish a love of the soil." The loss of silt and clay Is not cessarlly the result of cropping, of the exposure of soli to wind water erosion. The lack of rface cover, particularly in the soil areas, Is chiefly response for the deterioration of the nd, he added. 'Conservation Is necessary to the oductlon of field crops, orchards, estork. forests, game and fish, of. Ellis pointed out that over fYge tracts of land there was no depletion.

We must determine Jhether soli Is productive before ran sav It Is abused 'Productive soil must have root Som for the plant: a supply of 'ster: necessary nutritives; favor "ile reaction, and freedom from ill borne diseases. Light textured oils suffered more severely from ind and water erosion than heavy Mis. Farm Story of Manitoba Prof. Ellis outlined the modern istory of Manitoba from the in ux of the Selkirk settlers to the 'led River to the present day ex tension. During the period irom )812 to 1872, the fur trade was the activity.

In 1819 only some ,1.000 acres were under the plow In (he Red River settlement and the livestock population consisted of horses, 6,000 cattle. 3,000 heep ana l.suu nogs, mere was 10 soil exploitation. The second phase was that of and expansion during the 50 years up to 1921, when the rapid expansion peak in Manitoba was reached. Manitoba's acreage under the plow tias never been as great In any one year since then, he stated. The third period was the abandonment of arable land.

In 1921 some 9,000,000 acres were under the Plow. During the 1921 40 period roughly 1,500,000 acres of new land was broken, hut for every acre brought Into cultivation one went out. This was the period of exploitation and land went out of cultivation because It was abused, he said. The ravages of drought were also experienced. Urges More Livestock Prof, Ellis pointed out that the rapid expansion and general land use had resulted from our ability to produce cheaply a high quality crop that could be exported.

Manitoba has an area of 161.000, 000 acres and of this 143,000,000 acres is land and the balance water. Some 15,000,000 acres are farm lands and only 9,000,000 acres under the plow. The area to water is twice as large as that under the plow. The cultivated land Is used largely for the production of crops and is not being used as it should to support livestock. Livestock is a supplementary enterprise, he suggested.

Roughly one seventh of the land in Manitoba is alienated irom the crown and under private control. "With six sevenths of the land of Manitoba held by the government we are In an excellent position to plan conservation." This Is an important task that must be undertaken by all farm organizations, government and municipal bodies, he concluded. Guests were present from the four western provinces and Ontario. Dr. H.

Was it an accident that the man who bought the chops recognized Gene's talent and offered him a job? Some people would call it the luck of the Irish. Gene was working in a Cleveland, Ohio, meat market in 1012, and using, the brown wrapping paper for sketches.

His lucky contact with the buyer of chops landed him in a fashion art department, where he got plenty of practice. In 1914 he joined the staff of NEA Service. He has been producing comic strips ever since. rt I Hi Major HOOPLE He tried four strips before he struck pay dirt with "Our Boarding House." It was a new departure in the "funnies," and made an immediate hit. "Our Boarding House" without the Major seems like an egg without salt, but the magnificent Hoople was not there when the strip began.

Only an afterthought, our Major, although he would never admit that himself. Judged by conventional standards Major Hoople is a lazy charlatan. Yet there is about him a Falstaf fian pomp and a genius for fantasy that have made him one of the most beloved characters in the comic pages.
