This area In which erosion had be come such a serious problem was set tied between 1911 and 1914. Since that time It had experienced soil drifting of varying degrees. Contributing tothis condition were a number of factors in eluding improper land use, poor till age methods, and "shotgun" farming. Another Important factor to the mS use of the land was absentee owner ship.

High winds dur ing the last of March this year and the early part of April, however, made the Individual farmer's efforts futile.

By the end of the week eight listers were working and before the Job was com pleted ll -were in operation, in addition to supplying listers, the soil conservation service assigned H. W.

After the worst part of the blow area had been Usted In this manner, the strips were extended to 50 feet of listing and 50 fect of crop. Nelghbors co-operated to list one 640-acre tract of abandoned land In order to protect surrounding farms, Gasoline, fuel and oil were provided for this purpose and each farmer do nated his own time and tractor to com plete the Job. By May 18 these co-operative activl ties were completed with a total of 5,000 acres listed which will control soil blowing on a total area of more than 15,000 acres. Listing costs. Includ ing rental, repair bills, fuel, trucking and other expenses, amounted to about 27 cents ner acre listed.
