Bert Rau, chairman of the Mason u n fl c r :ne griculturai County ACA, cannot always be Conservation Program, assist- measured in dollars and cents. anee from public funds goes to help pay the cost of car- rying out approved conserva- tion practices. This assist- ante averages about 50 per- cent of the "out of pocket" costs of the practices. The farmer pays his half of money costs and usually does the Eventually human lives and hu- man happiness must be figured in on the balance sheet. The desola- tion of today in parts of the world , where mighty nations once flour- ished is mute evidence of the cost, and of who pays the bill when soil is neglected. In China where fertile soil and abundant food made possible a high civilization as early as 400 B.C. soil in many parts of the country has been worn out and work. In this way the public washed away until famine is corn- shares with the farmer the ex- men, and a perpetual struggle pense of saving soil and water, against hunger and starvation is BUT WItO pays for erosion? taken for granted. Who will pay for the third of the TIlE ASSISTANCE given farm- nation's topsoil already gone? Who will pay for the half-million acres of farmland now being losL each year? It is estimated thaL farms in this country have an an- nual loss of $400 million from erosion. Remains of Two Mason War-dead Coming Home NexL of kin of two World War II deceased soldiers whose remains arrived in New York on Novem- ber 26 aboard the USAT "Robert F. Burns" are being returned to Shelton for final interment, are advised by Lt. Colonel Vernon L. Lewis, Chief of the American Graves Registration Service at Auburn, Washington, that there will be an operational period of from one to three weeks before Lhey will be militarily escorted home, individually, by a service man of equal or higher rank and of the same branch of service. "A minimum period of seven days is necessary," Lewis stated, "to permit a proper inspection of shipping cases and caskets, to de- termine the transportation rout- ing, and to select the military es- corts who will accompany each deceased serviceman to the place his next of kin has desigfiated. "OUT OF consideration for :he relatives of these soldiers, no de- ceased serviceman will be escorted to Shelton during Lhe Christmas holiday weeks," Lewis continued. "If next of kin specifically re- quest to have the remains of their loved one returned during this period, however, we will abide by their wishes. The Army will make every effort to escort these serv- icemen to their homes prior to December 20." Following are the names, to- gether with the rank, branch of service, and their next of kin, of the two ShelLon soldiers who ar- rived aboard the "Robert F. Burns," together with approxi- n)s.tly 450t) other servicemen who had been tntrred in the Henri Chapelle Military Cemetery, at Eupen, Belgium and the cemetery at St. Laurent-sur:Mer, near Bay- eux.

Colonel Lewis concluded, "each will be militarily escorted by a serviceman of equal or higher rank to 15 different cit- ies and town in Washington, 12 in Oregon, and 3 in northern Ida- ho, 72 hours before Lhe remains of these honored dead are escorted home we will telegraph their next of kin of the time of arrival of their loved one."

Money.Back Guarantee ors throngh the Agricultural Con- servation program to help carry out conservation practices is an investment in food production. It means more abundant production --now and in the years to come. The program is a check against muddy streams and dust-filled skies which mean just that much less food. Bread, eggs, meat, veg- etables, milk and fruit are the real loss when soil goes down the river. But who pays for the loss? Ac- cording to Bert Rau, chairman of t h e Agricultural Conservation Association, the consumer pays. Lost soil means lower yields. Low- er yields mean less food on the grocery shelves. That leads to higher prices to the consumers. In the end the consumer pays, as in China, with a lower standard of living. The Agricultural Conservation program gives assistance to farm- ers as a direct method of getting the conservation job done. It pro- vides the means for consumers to cooperate with farmers for abund- ance. The alternative is neglect of the soil witl resulting higher costs later.
