Mr. Newcomer’s prospects for a

best. His wheat land, terraced on
the level with county equipment, has

ed — the farmlands.
Sand dunes, some as high as a
house, have spotted many unkept
fields and ruined them for ordinary
cultivation. Government experts,
brought in to combat erosion, have
discovered that the prevailing west-
erly wipds can be used to tear down
the dunes which they have built
by piling sand around some fixed
object — a tumbleweed, clump of
tall grass or fence post.
“The windward slopes are general-
ly long and gently rising, while the
leeward slopes are crescent-shaped,”
said Dr. Charles C. Whitfield of the
federal Soil Conservation Service.
“There is evidence that the cres-
, cent shape of the leeward side is
j responsible for the increase in the
dune size. When the wind approach-
es the top of the dune it drops its
load of sand due to the eddies of
wind current that move at right
angles against the prevailing wind.”
By eliminating the crescent, where
adverse wind currents are generated,
workers found they could halt the
increase in the size of a dune. They
dragged heavy poles across the
dunes with horses, tearing down the
"trap" formed by the pile of sand.
The heavily-packed dunes were
| plowed with discs. The dunes have
been lowered as much as 15 feet In
five months through use of these
methods.
Eighteen months ago, one typi-
cal area ruined by the sand near
Dalhart had 50 dunes measuring
from two to 18 feet high. Within
cne year they had been cultivated
until only 12 remained, all of small
owners planted drouth-resistin'
crops. Most widespread of all meth-
ods used in the Texas Panhandle is
that of listing (surface plowing) the
land with the furrows at right
angles to the prevailing winds. Such
operations also are believed to re-
tard the speed of the winds across
the treeless plains.
HITCH-HIKING RECORD
CLAIMED BY FAMILY
PORT WORTH, (UP)—The L. R.
Pettit family claims the hitch-
hiking speed record between Cali-
fornia and Fort Worth — 1,900
miles in 40 hours flat.
Last month, the parents and three
children, 11, 8, and 3, set out from
Los Angeles to Port Worth. The
father had seven cents In his pos-
session. Forty hours later they had
reached their new home, still with
the seven cents.

CANADIAN—Mrs. G. A. Robbins
of Hemphill county is enthusiastic
about the results secured by placing
cured pork in refined cottonseed oil
to prevent mold and to keep the pork
fresh, Miss Sadie Lee Oliver, home
i demonstration agent, reports.
The Robbins family killed four
hogs which dressed out slightly
more than 800 pounds. The cured
meat was placed in lard cans and
crocks In January 1936 and covered
with eight gallons of the oil. The
meat kept perfectly throughout the
summer and was consumed as need-
ed.
The cottonseed oil can be used
again and again, according to Mrs.
Robbins, so that the Initial expense

They watched the weather report

was forecast for parts of Wisconsin
a few times and Allen was prepared
to drive anywhere to see It.
As they left on their 1,700-mile

reau turned out this;
"Wisconsin—Cloudy, snow begin-
